Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a panel fittable to, and for closing the top of, the body of an electric household appliance, so as to form a top cover for the appliance as well as a supporting surface or worktop for the user. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cover panel of the above type, which is so equipped as to simplify assembly of the appliance.
  • electric household appliances are assembled by fitting the electromechanical components directly on to the inside of the appliance body (normally made of sheet metal) which is open at the top to simplify assembly, and to which, after assembling the components, a fluidtight finish panel is fitted - normally screwed - to close the top of the body and which forms a top cover for the appliance as well as a supporting surface or worktop for the user.
  • a top cover panel for an electric household appliance fittable to the appliance body to close the top of the body and at the same time form a supporting surface, as defined in claim 1.
  • the fastening and supporting means on the bottom face of the cover panel also support respective electromechanical parts of the appliance, thus forming a functional unit which may be assembled easily off-line, and most of the parts of which may also be tested.
  • the electric wiring on said bottom face of the panel comprises at least one wire portion of predetermined length, left hanging from said bottom face of the panel, and at least a respective fast-fit connector on the free end of said wire portion.
  • the front edge of the panel according to the present invention presents a front panel projecting perpendicularly in relation to said bottom face of the panel, and supporting electromechanical or electronic components of the appliance on the inner side, and respective means for manually controlling said components on the outer side opposite said inner side.
  • number 1 indicates an electric household appliance of any type (in the non-limiting example shown, a washing machine, though the following description also applies to any other type of appliance, such as a dishwashing machine, refrigerator, freezer, oven, etc.).
  • Appliance 1 comprises a preferably sheet metal body 2, for example, in the form of a parallelepipedon, forming at least part of the outer "bodywork” and at least partly supporting the functional components of the appliance; and a top cover panel or element 3.
  • Body 2 is open at the top to enable assembly of said functional components inside, and is fittable in known manner (e.g. by means of screws, not shown) to panel 3 which is so formed as to mate with the top opening of body 2.
  • panel 3 is substantially in the form of a rectangular plate of substantially the same size as the base of body 2, and provides for closing the top of body 2 while at the same time forming a supporting surface or worktop for the user.
  • panel 3 is also provided with an electric supply cable 8 - in the example shown, fitted with a plug 9 - extending externally from the rear edge 11 of panel 3 and affixed at the bottom face 5 thereto.
  • face 5 is also fitted via fastening means 10 with respective electromechanical components 12 of appliance 1, which, as shown in Figure 5, may for example comprise (in the case of a washing machine) a control module 12a, a condenser 12b, a solenoid valve 12c, and a pressure switch 12d complete with a tube 12e.
  • electromechanical components 12 of appliance 1 which, as shown in Figure 5, may for example comprise (in the case of a washing machine) a control module 12a, a condenser 12b, a solenoid valve 12c, and a pressure switch 12d complete with a tube 12e.
  • Wiring 6 comprises at least one electric cable or wire portion 16 of predetermined length, left hanging from bottom face 5 of panel 3; and at least a respective single or multiple fast-fit connector 17 of any known type, fitted to the free end of hanging electric cable or wire portion 16.
  • a long first cable portion 16a terminating with a multiple connector 17a for connection to the appliance motor (in the example shown, the motor for rotating the drum, but in the case of a refrigerator or dishwashing machine the motor, for example, for driving the compressor or pump) which, being the heaviest component is normally located at the base of body 2 for reasons of stability.
  • panel 3 thus forms a unit 20 which may be preassembled off-line, and most of the components of which may also be off-line tested by connecting connectors 17 to a bench testing device for ensuring correct connection and operation of substantially all of components 12.
  • Panel 3 forms the mechanical support of unit 20, for which purpose, face 5 ( Figures 2, 3, 5) presents cable fastening hooks 21 projecting perpendicularly from face 5 and for securing wiring 6 (and tube 12e); and fastening plates 22 for fastening electromechanical components 12 and also projecting from face 5 of panel 3.
  • panel 3 comprises a substantially rigid, peripheral outer frame 30 formed, for example, in one or more pieces from synthetic plastic material or metal section and presenting an L-shaped cross section; a flat board 31 of resin-coated chipboard fitted inside frame 30; and assembly and sealing means for assembling board 31 and frame 30 in fluidtight manner.
  • the bottom outer surface of board 31 is therefore so located as to define face 5 of panel 3 ( Figure 2); and the assembly and sealing means comprise a second frame 32 also made in one or more pieces and inserted inside frame 30 to secure board 31 therein, and a continuous bead of sealing adhesive 35 which, originally applied about the perimeter of face 5 (as shown in Figure 2), is eventually interposed between frames 30, 32 and board 31 to secure all three together in fluidtight manner.
  • frame 32 comprises a number of frame elements 10 made of synthetic plastic material, fitted inside frame 30 on the opposite side of board 31, and each presenting a number of integral cable fastening hooks 21 and plates 22.
  • frame elements 10 are formed integral in one piece with one another, so as to define frame 32 (according to a variation not shown, frame elements 10 may of course be formed separately and form a single unit with frame 30 and board 31 by means of adhesive 35).
  • the fastening and supporting means 10 provided according to the invention on face 5 thus comprise frame elements 10, and form an integral part of said assembly and sealing means, by virtue of frame 32 being formed (originally or by means of adhesive 35) by the integral whole of frame elements 10.
  • At least one of elements 10 comprises a tab 36 adjacent and parallel to the rear edge 11 of panel 3, and projecting perpendicular from bottom face 5.
  • Tab 36 presents known means for the snap-on connection of a known cable clamping device 38 (shown schematically in Figure 5) for supply cable 8 and preferably integrated in a known terminal board 39 (also shown schematically in Figure 5) for distributing supply from cable 8 to wiring 6.
  • said connecting means may for example comprise an opening 40 formed through tab 36 and cooperating in known manner with known flexible teeth on terminal board 39.
  • tab 36 extends along the full length of edge 11, and, together with the rest of frame 32, presents fastening means for locking panel 3 to body 2 and which, in the example shown, comprise seats 41 ( Figure 5) for assembly screws (not shown).
  • Lock teeth 42 ( Figure 5) cooperating in known manner with mating elements on body 2 are also provided on the frame element/s 10 forming part of frame 32 along the front edge 51 of panel 3 parallel to and opposite edge 11.
  • FIG. 3 variation of panel 3 shows how the invention may also be applied to traditional panels featuring, as opposed to frame 32, a frame 32a with no fastening means.
  • frame elements 10 with fastening means 21 and 22 may be fitted directly to face 5 or, if formed into a single one-piece frame 10a, may be inserted and locked, e.g. by interference or in snap-on manner, inside frame 32a.
  • tab 36 may be formed slightly inwards of edge 11 so that this projects transversely from it; and edge 11 may be provided with known snap-on fastening means 80 (shown schematically in block form) for cable 8 and other components (e.g. the drain hose in the case of a washing machine) for simplifying packing of appliance 1.
