Definitions

  • the invention relates to the technical field of household appliances supplied with liquid, such as washing machine, dish washing machine, or any other electrical appliance receiving and containing a liquid, alone or in mixture.
  • Devices of this type are sometimes the source of liquid leaks that cause damage to water damage. These can be important if there is no monitoring. This is the case for the water supply valve which, if left open, adds to the leakage resulting from the complete emptying of the tank of the apparatus.
  • French patent FR 1 591 008 a device comprising, on the one hand and under the vessel of the apparatus, a basin for receiving the water of leakage and retention of a part thereof, and, on the other hand and in this bowl, a safety contactor reacts to the presence of fluid in the bowl and intervenes on the program control to close the water supply, drain the tank and trigger an alarm. If this device improves safety, it does not prevent the liquid leaking from the tank from spreading on the ground around the device, with a risk of electrocution of the user when restarting the device. .
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a device that overcomes these disadvantages and thus avoids the disasters and risks to the human being caused by the leakage of these household appliances.
  • the retention tank extends under the entire cross section of the apparatus and is sized to contain all the liquid of the apparatus, while, on the one hand, the electrical control circuit is a circuit at low voltage which can be closed by the safety contactor and comprising an auxiliary contactor triggering the trip, and, secondly, the electrical power supply circuit of the apparatus comprises, in addition to a normal operation switch, a mechanically interlocked emergency contactor, capable of closing a circuit parallel to this main circuit, for supplying the pump, the engine of the apparatus and the warning means, during the trip and under the control of a relay to timed opening ,.
  • the washing machine shown in FIG. 1 is composed of a chassis covered with rollover sheets and which, generally designated by reference 11, carries a tank 5 whose cylindrical drum 5a can be rotated by a electric motor M, via a transmission by pulleys and belt 6.
  • This motor is arranged at the lower part of the frame with an electric pump P to which are connected a suction pipe 7 and a delivery pipe 8.
  • the supply of the tank 5 is provided by a supply duct 9, equipped with a solenoid valve KA2 and connectable to the tap 3 of the tap water network.
  • the tank 5 contains an electric resistance R for heating the water which contains it.
  • the lower part of the machine contains a tank 1 of insulating material, for example plastic, which extends below the tank 5, over the entire cross section of the machine and has a capacity of to contain all the water coming from this tank.
  • the motor M and the pump P are out of this tray.
  • a bowl 2 is formed in the sloping bottom of the tank 1 to accommodate the first liquid leaks.
  • the bowl 2 is provided with a drain pipe V with closure valve 10.
  • FIG. 2 shows, on an enlarged scale, that the bowl 2 contains a safety switch 12 responsive to the presence of liquid and comprising, in the embodiment shown, two pairs of electrodes 4a and 4b.
  • Each of these electrodes is a rigid electrically conductive material and, for example, aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel ...
  • the electrodes are disposed in the bowl 2 parallel to each other and the bottom of this bowl with a spacing of between 0.2 and 1.5 millimeters.
  • the surface of each of them is between 1 and 2.25 square decimetres according to the voltage delivered by the secondary of the transformer T to which it is connected two by two.
  • the safety switch is of the float type responsive to the variation of fluid level in the bowl.
  • the washing machine comprises, in known manner, a main contactor KM1 with self-holding, an "on” push button 13, an "off” pushbutton 14 and a normal on-mode switch KM2.
  • the contact KA3a is on the circuit 16 supplying the solenoid valve KA2, that KA3b on the circuit 17 supplying the auxiliary contactor KM2 and the KA3c on a circuit 18.
  • the latter is arranged, with a circuit 20 controlled by the contactor KM3, in parallel to the general power supply circuit.
  • the machine can function normally by following a program given to it by a mechanical or electronic programmer.
  • the liquid In the presence of leakage of liquid from the tank 5, the liquid is collected in the tank 1 and travels to the bowl 2 thanks to the shape in slope of the bottom of this tray.
  • the liquid in the cuvette composed of water with impurities or laundry agents making it conductive, closes the low voltage electrical circuit 15 between the electrodes 4a and 4b.
  • the auxiliary contactor KA3 is thus powered, so that its contacts KA3a and KA3b go into the open position, while the KA3c switches to the closed position.
  • the solenoid valve KA2 is no longer energized and goes into closing, by cutting the water supply, the contactor KM2 opens, and interrupts the power supply of the normal circuits, and that the contactor KM3 is energized and closes the parallel supply circuit 20, supplying the alarm H1.
  • the drain pump P is fed by the parallel circuit 20 and carries out the emptying of the tank, while the motor M is supplied with the spin function to remove the contents of the the tank of any water
  • the delayed opening relay KA1 causes the opening of the main contactor KM1.
  • the machine is drained and locked by the KM3 contactor. The leak was mastered without any water damage.
  • the device according to the invention guarantees against any water damage and against all electrical hazards.
