DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM FOR A STERILIZER
A door locking mechanism for a sterilizer that minimizes the occurrence of jamming during operation, and that can be manually actuated if necessary. The door locking mechanism abuts the door of the sterilizer, and comprises a locking arm hingedly connected to a frame to permit the locking arm to move between a locked position and an unlocked position, the locking arm having a cutaway portion, the cutaway portion permitting an extendible portion of the door to extend therethrough; a sensor arm arranged adjacent to the locking arm, the sensor arm being flexible to permit the sensor arm to be at least partially displaced away from the locking arm in response to applied pressure to the sensor arm from the extendible portion of the door as it passes through the cutaway portion; a motor in communication with the operating system; a camshaft actuated by the motor; a cam attached to the camshaft, the cam being in contact with the locking arm to move the locking arm between the locked position and the unlocked position; a closing switch positioned within the locking mechanism to detect displacement of the sensor arm, the closing switch being in communication with an operating system of the sterilizer such that when the closing switch detects displacement of the sensor arm it signals to the operating system that the door is in a latched position; and a locking switch positioned within the locking mechanism to detect movement of the locking arm into the locked position, the locking switch being in communication with the operating system such that when the locking switch detects the movement of the locking arm into the locked position it signals to the operating system that the door is in the locked position.
