A latch module for controlling an opening and a closing of a door of an appliance includes a latch, a spring that applies an elastic force to the latch, a motor; and a cam that contacts a contact surface of the latch and is coupled to the motor to drive the cam to pivot the latch. The cam includes a first radius, a second radius, and a third radius in a circumferential direction at an outer circumference of the cam. The latch is positioned at a first basic position when the first radius of the cam contacts the contact surface of the latch, positioned at a second basic position when the second radius of the cam contacts the contact surface of the latch, and positioned at a third basic position when the third radius of the cam contacts the contact surface of the latch.

A motorized appliance latch provides for a spring-biased strike grip that can be engaged and disengaged from the strike with low force but then locked in a close position during closing of the door to allow the strike to be retained against countervailing gasket compression forces. In this way, an arbitrarily low force may be required by the consumer to close or open the door when the door is unsealed by the motor.

A door pop-up system includes a check link, which is rotatably coupled to a body of a vehicle, and a pressure member, which is rotatably arranged inside a door. The check link has a tip portion to enter the inside of the door. The pressure member presses a tip of the check link in a movement direction of the check link in which the check link moves as the door in a closed position is actuated to be opened. The door in a closed position is actuated to be opened by rotation of the pressure member and pressing of the tip of the check link with the pressure member. The pressure member has a pressure surface at which the tip of the check link is pressed. The pressure surface has a restriction surface to restrict displacement of the check link in a height direction.

The present invention concerns an automatic opening device (1) of a door, such as a door of household appliances, such as washing machines, dishwashers, ovens, and the like, comprising a containment casing (11), an electric motor (3), capable of rotating in the direction of rotation or in the opposite direction of rotation, an actuator member (2), having a rack (21), and a transmission assembly (4), coupled to said electric motor (3) and engaged with said rack (21) of said actuator member (2).

A door latch includes a gripper adjustable between a gripping state and a release state, which gripper, in the gripping state, is able to grip a closing member for holding the door closed which moves relatively closer to the gripper in a closing direction as a door of the domestic appliance is closed, and, in the release state, frees the closing member for opening the door, wherein, when the door is closed, the gripping state of the gripper is released by a relative releasing movement of the closing member carried out in the closing direction; and an electrically controllable displacement mechanism for displacing the gripper, under electrical control, from a retracted position into an advanced position against a restoring spring force, which advanced position, when the closing member is gripped, corresponds to a state in which the door is closed to a lesser degree than in the retracted position.
