Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a household appliance comprising a knob that wherein the liquid spilled from the panel onto the region where the control unit is located is eliminated.
  • Household appliances for example cooking devices, dishwashers and washers/dryers, comprise a panel, a control unit and one or more than one knob that enable the functions thereof to be monitored and controlled by the user.
  • the knobs are directly attached to the shafts that are mechanically fastened to the switches on the control unit behind the panel by means of the housings on the panel or by means of an intermediate piece from the front of the panel.
  • the shafts that are connected to the knobs also move and the functions at predetermined positions depending on the user preferences, for example functions like in which program the laundries should be washed, at which rpm the spin-drying should be performed or at which temperature the wash water should be used, are enabled to be selected.
  • the knobs are mounted on the shaft that is connected to the control unit behind the panel from the front side of the panel for ease of production.
  • the knob is mounted on the panel by means of clawed structures, some tolerances are needed to be taken into consideration in order that the shaft and the knob can be easily borne to each other. Therefore, a gap should be left around the clawed structures. While facilitating the rotation of the knobs, these gaps decrease the strength of the knob against impacts from outside, furthermore in the case liquid, especially water, liquid detergent etc. is spilled on the household appliance from the region the knob is mounted on the panel, the liquid leaks around the knob and reaches the control unit and cause important unfavorable situations.
  • a household appliance that comprises a knob mounted to the panel.
  • WO 2006/067764 A1 discloses a household appliance comprising a panel enabling the user to monitor and control the functions of the household appliance, a control unit disposed behind the panel, a shaft that is connected to the control unit and that enables user preferences to be transmitted to the control unit, a knob that actuates the shaft, a housing that is disposed on the panel and wherein the knob is placed, a guiding member having a flange that is mounted on the shaft that has a diameter larger than the diameter of the housing and that remains behind the panel and a sheath that extends on the flange and that surrounds the shaft.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a household appliance comprising a knob wherein liquids spilled from outside such as water, detergent etc. is enabled to be moved away before reaching the control unit.
  • the household appliance realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises a flange that is mounted to the shaft mechanically connected to the control unit from behind the panel and a guiding member that extends on the said flange and that has a sheath surrounding the shaft.
  • the liquid trickling over the panel and leaking from inside the housing to behind the panel is prevented from passing to the control unit. Furthermore, in the case the knob is dislodged for any reason, direct access to the control unit is prevented.
  • the flange has a circular configuration and the guiding member comprises a wall that surrounds the flange all around.
  • the sheath is fitted on the shaft snap-fittingly and the shaft is enabled to be borne to the guiding member.
  • An intermediate piece is fitted over the sheath and the guiding member that is mounted on the shaft snap-fittingly is enabled to be mounted on the intermediate piece.
  • the liquid that may leak from the front of the panel through the housing where the knob is mounted is enabled to be held and moved away by the flange before reaching the control unit. Moreover, in the case the knob is dislodged due to any load, direct access to the control unit is prevented by means of the guiding member by the flange completely closing the housing from behind the panel.
  • the household appliance (1) for example the laundry washer/dryer, comprises a panel (2) enabling the user to monitor and control the functions of the household appliance (1), a control unit (3) disposed behind the panel (2), a shaft (4) that is connected to the control unit (3) and that enables user preferences to be transmitted to the control unit (3), a knob (5) that actuates the shaft (4), a housing (14) that is disposed on the panel (2) and wherein the knob (5) is placed, and a guiding member (22) having
  • the guiding member (22) is mounted freely on the shaft (3) situated on the control unit (3). While the control unit (3) is mounted on the panel (2), the guiding member (22) is fitted over the knob (5) and provides the connection between the knob (5) and the shaft (4).
  • the flange (23) preferably has a circular configuration and is surrounded by a wall (25).
  • the said wall (25) surrounding the flange (23) bears against the rear side of the panel (2).
  • the surface of the flange (23) and the panel (2) are parallel to one another ( Figure 3 ).
  • the sheath (24) has a configuration matching that of the shaft (4) and preferably has a stepped structure.
  • the sheath (24) is fitted over the shaft (4) snap-fittingly and the shaft (4) is borne in the guiding member (22) ( Figure 4 ).
  • the household appliance (1) comprises an intermediate piece (7) disposed between the guiding member (22) and the knob (5).
  • the intermediate piece (7) comprises a base (9), a body (8) that extends on the base (9) and surrounds the guiding member (22), a bearing (12) that is disposed in the body (8) and wherein the sheath (24) and hence the guiding member (22) enter and are supported, and at least two claws (10) having a fixed end (20) that is disposed on the body (8), that is fixed to the body (8) and that first passes from the housing (14) while being mounted and a free end (21) that stretches while passing through the housing (14) by getting close to the body (8), that resumes its initial position after passing through the housing (14) and that compresses the panel (2) between itself and the base (9) by bearing against the panel (2).
  • the knob (5) is mounted to the household appliance (1) in the following manner.
  • the intermediate piece (7) is inserted into the housing (14) from behind the panel (2) and the intermediate piece (7) is moved inside the housing (14) until the base (9) bears against the rear wall of the panel (2).
  • the free ends (21) of the claws (10) stretch and get close towards the body (8).
  • the free ends (21) this time stretch in the reverse direction and move away from the body (8), resume their initial positions and bear against the front side of the panel (2).
  • the panel (2) is squeezed between the claws (10) and the base (9) and the intermediate piece (7) is fixed on the panel (2) so as to move only in a radial direction.
  • the shaft (4) and the guiding member (22) mounted thereon are seated in the bearing (12) and the panel (2) with the intermediate piece (7) thereon is fixed on the household appliance (1).
  • the knob (5) is mounted on the part of the body (8) that passes through the housing (14) to the front side of the panel (2) and the assembly of the knob (5) on the intermediate piece (7), hence on the panel (2) of the household appliance (1) is completed.
  • the guiding member (22) liquid leakages that may occur from the housing (14) towards the control unit (3) are prevented and the liquid leaking from the housing (14) is prevented from reaching the control unit (3) by the flange (3) and is enabled to be moved away from the control unit (3).
  • the intermediate piece (7) is preferably a cylindrical element and comprises at least two guides (16) that extend on the inner surface of the bearing (12) along the axis of the bearing (12) and that prevent the intermediate piece (7) from moving relative to the shaft (4) and the guiding member (22), and a peripheral barrier (15) that forms the ceiling of the body (8).
  • the base (9) on the intermediate piece (7) corresponds to the region between the claws (10) on the body (8) and therefore two bases (9) are situated between two opposite claws (10).
  • the knob (5) comprises a handle (6) that enables the user to actuate the knob (5) by holding, a second bearing (13) that surrounds the intermediate piece (7) and at least two auxiliary claws (11) with one end fixed on the second bearing (13) and the other end being free.
  • the auxiliary claws (11) are formed by cutting out the surface of the second bearing (13). While the knob (5) is mounted on the intermediate piece (7), the auxiliary claw (11) corresponds to the claws (10) on the intermediate piece (7).
  • the intermediate piece (7) While the knob (5) is being mounted on the intermediate piece (7) fixed secured on the panel (2), the intermediate piece (7) is moved forward in the second bearing (13) and the two auxiliary claws (11) stretch and move on the claws (10) to bear against the barrier (15) and the knob (5) can no longer move forward. Since the portions of the auxiliary claws (11) fixed on the second bearing (13) bear against the claws (10) on the intermediate piece (7), this prevents the said claws (10) from moving and stretching outwards further. In this case, the assembly of the knob (5) on the intermediate piece (7) and hence on the panel (2) is completed.
  • the panel (2) comprises a circular groove (19) that surrounds the housing (14) all around and a circular protrusion (17) disposed on the said groove (19).
  • the free end (21) of the claw (10) of the intermediate piece (7) bearing against the panel (2) is seated on the said protrusion (17).
  • the household appliance (1) comprises a decorative element (18) mounted on the knob (5).
  • the decorative element (18) can be produced as a single piece with the knob (5) or can be produced separately. In the case being produced separately, the decorative element (18) is mounted on the knob (5) by using various mechanical methods.
