Abstract

The invention relates to a housing for a household appliance, comprising walls (5, 6) that are covered at least locally by a colored plastic film (9).

Description

The shell of household electrical appliance

The present invention relates to be used for the shell of large household appliance such as refrigerating plant, pot and stove, washing machine, drying and washing machine etc.

Such household electrical appliance are usually with the form manufacturing of built-in device or desktop apparatus.Under the situation of built-in device, the shell of the built-in device under installment state has been covered in by furniture part fully or at least as much as possible.Therefore, people do not pay close attention to the structure attractive in appearance on this covered surface of living usually.

Under the situation of desktop apparatus, make shell with the metallic plate that brushes white paint very early.This does not stay the leeway of how many art designs to the designer, although different japannings also is feasible in principle, this needs high cost, compares with total manufacturing cost of shell, and this expenditure is too high.

Task of the present invention provides a kind of shell of household electrical appliance, wherein, can realize different surface decoration effect in cheap and simple ground.

So finish this task, i.e. the local at least plastic foil that is covered with colour of shell wallboard.

This film preferably is made of thermoplastic.This thermoplastic for example can stretch by heating when film is tightened, so as can be smooth the uneven part of aptychus ground covering shell.

If shell is made up of a plurality of wallboard spares, then preferably each wallboard spare is covered with a plastic foil respectively, keeps in repair so that the lower wall panels part is unloaded in this not overslaugh of plastic foil.

These wallboard spares are preferably on its whole visible surface and are covered with plastic foil.

Usually, the shell below this film can scribble lacquer.The household electrical appliance that this allows common procedure of processing to make on the manufacturing equipment of current existence unchangeably to have shell of the present invention and this film are specially according to finished product device user's hope and as the final step of its installation or be covered in a step that is added between the common installation steps.

Shell wallboard below film can not painted yet.If not painted metals plate has been used in the manufacturing that is shell when producing such household electrical appliance in batches, then concerning these all a collection of devices, wallboard must overlay film, so that anticorrosion and guarantee attractive in appearance.But, save japanning and can save manufacturing cost.

This film preferably can overlay on the shell wallboard with peeling.Therefore, the user can remove one simply in use with old or no longer attracting surface and can change new.In addition, can be by peeling old film and being covered with new film and providing a different outward appearance to household electrical appliance at an easy rate.

The present invention also relates to the manufacture method of the household electrical appliance of the above-mentioned type, it may further comprise the steps, and promptly makes a kind of plastic foil that will obtain decorative pattern that has, and this plastic foil is layed onto on the wallboard of household electrical appliance.

From following with reference to having obtained other advantage of the present invention and feature the explanation of accompanying drawing to embodiment, wherein:

Fig. 1 is the perspective view of refrigerating plant of the present invention;

Fig. 2 is the office's cutaway view according to the sidewall of the refrigerating plant shown in Figure 1 of the present invention's first form of implementation and door;

Fig. 3 is the office cutaway view similar to Fig. 2 according to second form of implementation.

Fig. 1 represents the perspective view of desk-top refrigerator-freezer of the present invention.The shell of this desk-top refrigerator-freezer is made of a box-shaped shell 1, and this housing has two sidewall panelings 2, top walls panels 3 and a squab panel and the door 4 that can install rotationally on shell nozzle.The wallboard of housing 1 and door 4 have the clear sandwich construction that illustrates as Fig. 2 respectively, and it has the exterior panel 5 that is made of metallic plate or 6 and the liner 7 or 8 that is made of plastics, and they surround out the middle cavity 15 of filling with the insulating foams material.

The exterior panel 5,6 of housing 1 or door 4 can scribble lacquer or scribble powder according to traditional approach, and still, it also can be clean or de-scaling and metallic plate that do not have the color layer of self especially extremely.

These metallic plates are covered with a slice thermoplastic plastic membrane 9 respectively on its whole surface, in Fig. 1, for clarity sake and just a jiao at sidewall paneling 2 or door 4 shows this plastic foil with peeling.

As shown in Figure 2, the exterior panel 5 and the liner 7 of housing so interconnect, and promptly an elastic strip 10 that is formed on liner 7 edges embeds 11 li of grooves, and this groove is formed on the edge of exterior panel by crooked this metallic plate.The film 9 of exterior panel 5 extends to 11 li of grooves always on whole open surface, here, film is clamped between the sidewall of groove 11 and elastic strip 10.

For film 9 being overlayed on the exterior panel 5 by this mode, certainly need housing finish before the assembling and especially in elastic strip 10 embedded grooves 11 before be covered with film.

In order also entirely to cover the case surface of protuberance, for example heat this film and this film that on desired area, stretches subsequently with air-heater with film.

Door 4 exterior panel 6 covers on its whole front, its side and cover on the local back side of door 4 bodies with the form of edge strip 12.On edge strip 12, the liner 8 of door 4 for example is fixed by glue.Exterior panel 6 is covered with plastic foil 9 on promptly positive on its whole open surface and side, here, the edge part 13 of film 9 is sandwiched between edge strip 12 and the liner 8 and therefore can accidental disengagement.

Magnetic sealing strip 14 is fixed along the periphery of liner 7.

In order to take off film 9, as long as by the object of a point along the edge of liner 7,8 for example in Fig. 3 with having scratched film on 16 or 17 positions of representing, so that peel film from the outer surface of wallboard 5 or 6 subsequently.Film 9 parts that are sandwiched between an exterior panel 5,6 and the liner 7,8 have been stayed.

If exterior panel the 5, the 6th, japanning, then one can come out painted surface is open thus, like this, the electrical equipment of having used multiaspect is still as new.

Also can overlay on again on the exterior panel 5,6 with the film 19 of film 9 the same types with a slice, here, when the device of finishing installation was carried out overlay film, the edge 20 of film 19 prolonged and liner 7 or 8 always.This is even more important to the metallic plate of japanning not, and doing like this is the metallic plate that touches exterior panel 5,6 for fear of the condensed water from refrigerator-freezer.

Different with the foregoing description, can make fully the free end of film 9 directly arrive exterior panel 5 or 6 and liner 7 or 8 between transition region and be fixed on this transition region by glue.In this case, film 9 itself may have been coated glue-line fully.

The film that is applicable to the object of the invention for example is the Intax GmbH ﹠amp of Claes Oldenburg; The product of putting on market as body of a motor car protected decoration product of Co.KG with title " Intax film ".It can have the different color of many kinds.Also can adopt colored film, as have the film of the decorative pattern of imitative wood grain.
