Description

The present invention relates to a frame arrangement for inserting a free-standing household appliance into a niche on a wall.

It is known from the prior art to combine floor standing household appliances with furniture, such as kitchen or bathroom furniture. The free-standing household appliances are set up next to the furniture. The free-standing household appliances often act like foreign bodies in the living situation.

In addition, it can also be stated that more and more such freestanding household appliances are now being combined with one another in the living room or kitchen area. On the one hand, this means that steps in the floor and / or niches in / on a wall often have to be used in order to set them up (standing together). This is accompanied by a problematic water and / or power supply. In addition, because of the increased potential for damage in the living room or bathroom, it is desirable to implement a flexible, positionable and secure monitoring of the functionality of the free-standing household appliances or their connections.

The object of the invention is therefore to at least partially solve the problems described with reference to the prior art and in particular to enable a visually pleasing and / or safer combination of a free-standing household appliance with at least one piece of furniture in a structurally simple manner.

These objects are achieved with a method and a device according to the features of the independent patent claims. Further advantageous refinements of the invention are specified in the dependent claims. It should be pointed out that the features listed individually in the dependent claims can be combined with one another in any technologically meaningful way and define further embodiments of the invention. In addition, the features specified in the patent claims are specified and explained in greater detail in the description, with further preferred embodiments of the invention being presented.

Contributing to this is a frame arrangement which, for inserting a free-standing household appliance into a niche of a furniture environment that is or can be arranged on a wall, comprises two floor rails arranged parallel to one another for guiding feet of the free-standing household appliance that are arranged on (at least) two opposite sides of the free-standing household appliance while the free-standing household appliance is being inserted , wherein the floor rails can be attached to the wall by means of at least one bracket. Furthermore, at least one connection module is provided for connecting the free-standing household appliance to a house installation, the connection module being designed (and set up) on the one hand to connect the free-standing household device to the connection module and on the other hand to connect the connection module to the house installation.

The advantage that can be achieved is, in particular, that a visually pleasing combination of a free-standing household appliance with at least one piece of furniture is made possible in a structurally simple manner. A visually pleasing combination of the free-standing household appliance with the at least one piece of furniture, that is to say the furniture environment that is arranged or can be arranged on the wall, is considered to be that the free-standing household appliance forms an optical unit with the furniture environment in which it can be integrated. Accordingly, it makes sense that the free-standing household appliance can be pushed into the niche provided for the free-standing household appliance in the furniture environment. This is implemented in a structurally simple manner by means of the frame arrangement.

By means of the floor rails arranged parallel to one another, safe and precise guidance of the free-standing household appliance can be made possible when it is inserted into the niche provided for the free-standing household appliance. Due to the at least one bracket, by means of which the two floor rails arranged parallel to one another can be attached to the wall, a very precise spatial alignment of the free-standing household appliance relative to the niche provided for the free-standing household appliance and thus relative to the furniture environment into which the free-standing household appliance is to be integrated , achieved in a particularly simple design.

The free-standing household appliance can be, for example, a washing machine, a tumble dryer, a combination appliance for washing and drying laundry, or a dishwasher. The furniture environment can be designed, for example, as a kitchen unit formed from a plurality of kitchen furniture units in a kitchen or a plurality of bathroom furniture units in a bathroom.

The term “free-standing household appliance” is to be understood in general terms and includes in particular free-standing household appliances with a large number of different designs of feet for setting up the respective free-standing household appliance on a floor. For example, the feet can be designed as rollers or have rollers. The rollers can be at least partially lockable in order to prevent the free-standing household appliance from rolling away undesirably while the free-standing household appliance is in operation. However, other designs of Feet possible. It is also conceivable that the respective floor standing household appliance has a mixture of different types of feet. The possible designs of the floor rails of the frame arrangement according to the invention for guiding the feet of the free-standing household appliance when it is inserted into the niche provided for this purpose are also correspondingly diverse.

It is further provided in this frame arrangement that it has at least one connection module for connecting the free-standing household appliance to a house installation, the connection module being designed on the one hand to connect the free-standing household device to the connection module and on the other hand to connect the connection module to the house installation.

As a result, the connection of the free-standing household appliance to the house installation can be designed in a significantly simplified manner. In principle, the at least one connection module can be freely selected within wide suitable limits in terms of type, mode of operation, material, dimensioning, number and arrangement.

From this it can be deduced that such a connection module can already contribute independently to solving the problem mentioned at the beginning. Accordingly, a frame arrangement contributes to the solution which has at least one connection module for connecting a free-standing household appliance to a house installation, the connection module being designed on the one hand to connect the free-standing household device to the connection module and on the other hand to connect the connection module to the house installation. This frame arrangement can be further developed in particular with the water-carrying or energy-carrying components, sensors, frames, systems for data processing, etc. explained here, without the parallel floor rails necessarily also having to be considered.

The at least one connection module can be designed as a standard connection module which is designed to be suitable for a large number of mutually different free-standing household appliances. For example, such a standard connection module could be designed to be suitable both for the connection of water-bearing free-standing household appliances and (alternatively) for the connection of non-water-bearing, but possibly energy-consuming and / or electricity-generating free-standing household devices.

An advantageous development provides that the connection module is designed to connect a free-standing household appliance designed as a water-carrying household appliance to the house installation. In this way, the connection of a water-bearing household appliance to the house installation is simplified. The connection module can be designed to be suitable for a cold water connection and / or for a hot water connection of the free-standing household appliance.

An advantageous development provides that the connection module has a shut-off valve and / or (at least) one leakage sensor, the shut-off valve being able to automatically shut off a water supply to the free-standing household appliance designed as a water-carrying household appliance, preferably as a function of an (electrical or electronic) output signal from the leakage sensor. This can reliably ensure that a water supply to the free-standing household appliance is prevented in the event of a leak in the free-standing household appliance. In addition, a corresponding safety device can be dispensed with in the case of the free-standing household appliance.

Furthermore, the frame arrangement can comprise (at least) one leakage sensor, which is formed with at least one bottom rail. It is also possible for the leakage sensor to be formed with both bottom rails. In particular, a water-sensitive sensor, for example in the manner of a capacitive sensor, can be formed by means of the floor rails. For this purpose, the bottom rail can be designed to be partly electrically conductive and partly electrically insulated. In particular, the bottom rail can be connected to a voltage source and / or measured value evaluation unit.

In the frame arrangement, a frame with at least two compartments can be provided, the first compartment comprising the upright household appliance (with the floor rails) and the second compartment having at least one holding device for an electronic element or at least one holding device for a water-bearing component. A “compartment” is understood here to mean, for example, a window or a room that is formed with the frame, e.g. B. in the manner of a frame surrounding the subject at least partially or completely (possibly with the floor). The compartments are in particular formed parallel to the wall. The first compartment is oriented so that the free-standing household appliance can be at least partially received therein. The rack in the area of the first compartment can thus enclose the free-standing household appliance. Further compartments can be provided, preferably adjacent (laterally) and separated from a section of the frame. The compartments can, but need not, be of essentially the same size. The second compartment comprises at least one holding device on which an electronic element and / or a water-conducting component can be (permanently) mounted and / or fixed. The holding device can be designed with several assembly points for the electronic element and / or a water-conducting component, so then an assembly adapted to the spatial conditions is possible. The holding device can in particular be a cross member (which at least partially covers or penetrates the second compartment) or a beam, where, for example, mounting openings are made and / or fastening elements such as clamps, holding frames or housings, etc. can be attached. An electronic element can be a sensor, a voltage supply, an electrical connector, a system for data processing, etc. A water-carrying component can be a water pipe (e.g. in the form of a (rigid) pipe and / or a (flexible) hose), a valve, a water reservoir, etc.

At least one of the holding devices can be arranged displaceably with respect to the second compartment. This means, for example, that the frame has several receiving points or assembly points for one or all of the holding devices. In this context, “displaceable” means in particular that the holding device is detached (at least partially) from the frame from a first predetermined position and can be fixed again in another second predetermined position. A guide can be provided for this.

A frame can be provided in which a module coupling device is provided for the arrangement of at least one further frame, at least one further compartment and / or at least one further pair of floor rails for another free-standing household appliance. The frame can thus be expanded in a modular manner, in particular in such a way that further compartments are formed. For example, another compartment for a wash basin, another compartment for a toilet, etc. can be provided. The module coupling device is designed in particular with the same or the same assembly systems for other components of the rack and / or the frame arrangement, with components lying next to one another usually forming corresponding plug connectors, screw systems, hook connectors, etc. If necessary, it is possible to design the module coupling device as separate modules that can be mounted on a frame or the frame arrangement (at predetermined locations).

A damping element can be provided at least in / on at least one floor rail or in / on at least one frame. The damping can relate to a (vibrating) movement (for example the shaking of a washing machine) and / or a development of noise (possibly associated therewith or emanating from the free-standing household appliance). In particular, at least one damping element can be arranged in a gap or space between the free-standing household appliance and the frame arrangement and / or frame. In this way, direct contact between the free-standing household appliance and the frame arrangement can be avoided, so that the latter has an essentially stationary position with respect to the wall during operation. This allows the connections to the house installation to be carried out in a simplified manner. In this way, the convenience when using such free-standing household appliances in living areas can also be further improved.

The floor rails arranged parallel to one another can be designed to be telescopic. This means in particular that these are designed to be variable in length in the longitudinal direction (parallel to the insert of the free-standing household appliance), with partial areas of the floor rail being able to be pushed into one another and possibly fixed to one another at predetermined points as required. This allows the frame arrangement to be adapted to different free-standing household appliances and / or installation space situations or niches.

A frame can be provided which comprises at least one lateral recess for a water-conducting component. “Lateral” here means in particular that the cutout is (at least also) arranged laterally or essentially perpendicularly to the compartment. It is preferred that the lateral recess intersects the plane of the compartment or adjoins it (directly). The lateral recess can be provided in the lower half of the frame towards the floor. It is possible for the lateral recess to be provided even below the position of the floor rails. The recess can be provided in the manner of an opening in the frame itself or in a connecting piece on the frame. The recess can accommodate, enclose and / or fix a water-conducting component. The recess and the water-carrying component can be connected to one another in a detachable or fixed manner (e.g. by a welded connection). With such a design, e.g. a water pipe can be led past a compartment to save space.

1. a) Bereitstellen von zumindest Energie oder Wasser über das Anschlussmodul hin zu dem Standhaushaltsgerät;
2. b) Zuführen von zumindest Energie oder Wasser über das Anschlussmodul auf Anforderung des Standhaushaltsgeräts;
3. c) Überwachen des Verbrauchs des Standhaushaltsgeräts hinsichtlich zumindest Energie oder Wasser; und
4. d) Beenden des Bereitstellens von zumindest Energie oder Wasser über das Anschlussmodul hin zu dem Standhaushaltsgerät, wenn ein unerwarteter Verbrauch in Schritt c) festgestellt wird.

According to a further aspect, a method for operating a free-standing household appliance in a frame arrangement described here is proposed which comprises at least the following steps:

1. a) Provision of at least energy or water via the connection module to the free-standing household appliance;
2. b) supplying at least energy or water via the connection module at the request of the free-standing household appliance;
3. c) Monitoring the consumption of the free-standing household appliance with regard to at least energy or water; and
4. d) Ending the provision of at least energy or water via the connection module to the free-standing household appliance if unexpected consumption is determined in step c).

The steps specified here can be carried out in chronological order a), b), c), d), but this is not mandatory. In particular, the steps can be carried out at least partially simultaneously or superimposed on one another.

According to step a), at least energy and / or water is provided to the free-standing household appliance by means of the connection module. This can mean that the electrical and / or water-carrying connections of the house installation are routed there and thus electricity and / or water can be called up or obtained from there.

If the free-standing household appliance then requires electricity and / or water to operate, it can be drawn from the house installation and, in accordance with step b), energy and / or water are supplied via the connection module at the request of the free-standing household appliance. For this purpose, valves and / or switches can in particular also be actuated as required.

In particular at the same time as step a) and / or b) and / or permanently over a predefinable period of time, according to step c), consumption of the free-standing household appliance with regard to energy and / or water is monitored. For example, consumption meters, sensors, measuring systems, etc., which are preferably also (directly) part of the frame arrangement, can be used for this.

It can e.g. B. also specifically for the household appliance used and / or the (earlier, stored and / or analyzed) use of the household appliance used, predetermined consumption values can be used. These can, for example, be given to a system for data processing or filed / stored there. During step c) or within the framework of step c) it can be checked (repeatedly) whether the determined consumption deviates from the predetermined, expected and / or usual consumption. Tolerances or deviations (fixed) can also be specified, which can be classified as expected or still acceptable.

However, if the situation arises that unexpected consumption is determined in step c), the provision of energy and / or water via the connection module to the free-standing household appliance is ended or interrupted in accordance with step d). This is done in particular by actuating at least one (central) switch and / or at least one (central) valve. The blocking is implemented in particular in the connection module and / or in a section between the connection module and the building installation.

Further, predeterminable measures may then be necessary before step d) can be ended and step a) can be initiated again. It is nevertheless possible to continue to carry out step c).

In particular, this method offers the possibility of determining undesired (idle) power consumption and / or water leakage.

If unexpected consumption is determined in step c), a transmission alarm signal can be generated and made available for transmission to a remote control unit. This can include a comparison of the predetermined / expected and / or usual consumption, possibly taking into account the current demand for energy and / or water. If an unauthorized large deviation is determined in this case, a transmission alarm signal can then be generated before, during and / or after performing step d). This can then be made available for transmission to a remote control unit, e.g. B. in such a way that a radio signal is transmitted via a transmitter unit to the (spatially) distant and / or in-house remote control unit. For this purpose, a cable-bound and / or a cable-free signal forwarding can take place. Radio standards such as B. WiFi, 5G, LTE or the like can be used. The remote control unit is set up in particular to display an alarm message and / or to activate and / or deactivate a remote control of the connection module, an electrical component, a water-carrying component and / or a component of the house installation. In particular, the lock according to step d) can then be confirmed, reinforced and / or canceled again (manually).

A system for data processing is preferably provided, comprising a processor which is configured in such a way that it executes the method proposed here (at least step by step). The system or the processor can be in the area of the frame arrangement and / or remotely therefrom, e.g. B. be positioned in the building of the house installation.

In particular, a computer program product is also proposed, comprising instructions which, when the program is executed by a computer, cause the computer to carry out at least some or all of the steps of the method proposed here. The computer program product can also be updated electronically to a corresponding system for data processing uploaded and / or stored there or set up for the purposes mentioned.

The explanations of the frame arrangement and its operation can be used (individually) to further characterize the method, the system for data processing and / or the computer program product and vice versa.

It should also be noted with regard to the method, the data processing system and the computer program product that these can also refer to a frame arrangement that has at least one connection module for connecting a free-standing household appliance to a house installation, the connection module on the one hand for connecting the free-standing household appliance to the connection module and on the other hand is designed to connect the connection module to the house installation. This frame arrangement can be further developed in particular with the water-carrying or energy-carrying components, sensors, frames, systems for data processing, etc. explained here, without the parallel floor rails necessarily also having to be considered.

A modular, expandable pre-wall element (frame arrangement) proposed here is in particular equipped with integrated shut-off devices for the cold water pipe and, if necessary, also the feed pipe for renewable energies and e.g. Water meter. This element supplies and monitors the z. B. in a bathroom connected consumers such as washing machine / dryer, toilet and washbasin element and facilitates accessibility in the event of service. The extension enables a space-saving integration of the washing machine in a front wall element (approx. 15 cm) and ensures a uniform front of the lightweight construction technology module combination. The washing machine fits into a uniform ambience of the bathroom furniture with a uniform front. The connections are then preferably no longer behind the washing machine (first compartment), but in the technology element next to it (second compartment) with integrated WPS (water protection system).

• 2 a further exemplary embodiment of a frame arrangement in a perspective illustration from obliquely rear left with a system for data processing.

In 1 is one embodiment of a frame assembly 2 for inserting an implied free-standing household appliance 1 in a niche 4th one on a wall 6th arranged or arrangeable furniture environment 3 shown in a first perspective view obliquely from the front right. The free-standing household appliance 1 can be designed here as a washing machine, ie as a water-bearing household appliance. The washing machine has a standard depth of 60 cm. The furniture environment 3 may have several along the wall 6th furniture set up side by side and designed as bathroom furniture. The furniture of the furniture environment 3 thus form a row of furniture, with the niche in the row of furniture 4th for inserting the free-standing household appliance 1 is arranged. The bathroom furniture each have a standard depth of 45 cm.

To the floor standing household appliance 1 precisely fitting in the niche provided 4th Placing the furniture row includes the frame arrangement 2 two floor rails arranged parallel to one another 8th for guiding on two opposite sides of the free-standing household appliance 1 arranged feet 5 of the free-standing household appliance 1 while the floor standing appliance is being inserted 1 in the niche 4th . The floor rails 8th are by means of a common bracket 10 on the wall 6th attached and each have one on an outside of the respective floor rail 8th running raised edge 9 for lateral guidance of the feet 5 of the free-standing household appliance 1 when it is inserted into the niche 4th on.

In the present embodiment, the bracket 10 with the two floor rails 8th as a U-shaped angle 12 formed by means of two joints 13 articulated on a fastening cross-member 14th the frame arrangement 2 is arranged, the fastening cross-member 14th with the wall 6th is connectable. It also has the U-shaped angle 12 for each of the two floor rails 8th an end stop (not shown), the two end stops inserting the free-standing household appliance 1 towards the wall 6th limit. The U-shaped angle 12 with the bracket 10 and the two floor rails 8th is by means of the fastening traverse 14th and the joints 13 with the wall 6th articulated in such a way that the floor rails 8th from a rest position, not shown, to one in the 1 The position of use shown can be transferred, the bottom rails 8th in their rest position saves space on the rest of the frame arrangement 2 are arranged and in their position of use to guide the feet 5 of the free-standing household appliance 1 on one adjacent to the wall 6th arranged floor 16 rest. In the rest position, not shown, of the floor rails 8th is the U-shaped angle 12 with the bracket 10 and the floor rails 8th by means of the joints 13 in the image plane of 1 folded up so that the frame assembly 2 in the Rest position of the floor rails 8th Can be stored and transported space-saving and easy to handle.

As from the 1 can be seen, is the fastening traverse 14th designed to attach a prewall, not shown. This is done on the fastening cross-member 14th a frame-like frame 18th trained, on the one hand with the ground 16 connectable or on the floor 16 supportable and on the other hand with the wall 6th is connectable. For example, screw connections are for this purpose 20th intended. The fastening traverse 14th is by means of its frame-like frame 18th adjustable in height, so that the fastening traverse 14th and thus the U-shaped angle 12 with the bracket 10 and the two floor rails 8th on floors of different heights 16 is customizable. To this end, the frame 18th a height adjustment mechanism 19th on. For example, the height adjustment mechanism 19th of the frame 18th as tubular pieces of the frame pushed into one another 18th be designed, which are designed to be movable with respect to one another and can be locked in a desired position with respect to one another, stepwise or continuously. By means of the pretext is between the wall 6th and the front wall an intermediate space (not shown) can be realized in which, for example, parts of a house installation 11 and / or connections of the free-standing household appliance 1 to the house installation 11 can be accommodated. The space can also be used to house the household appliance 1 in the depth of this, for example, to create a common, flush front of the furniture environment and the niche 4th inserted floor standing household appliance 1 to enable.

The function of the frame arrangement for inserting a free-standing household appliance is described below 1 explained in more detail by way of example.

A user (not shown) first assembles the frame assembly 2 into the one for the free-standing household appliance 1 designated niche 4th the one on the wall 6th arrangeable furniture environment. To do this, the user connects the frame arrangement 2 , namely the frame 18th the fastening traverse 14th , by means of the screw connections 20th on the one hand with the wall 6th and on the other hand with the ground 16 . Any necessary height compensation between the fastening cross-piece 14th and the articulated U-shaped bracket 12 with the bracket 10 and the floor rails 8th on one side and the bottom 16 on the other hand is by means of the height adjustment mechanism 19th of the frame 18th the fastening traverse 14th made possible in a simple way.

The user then attaches the front wall, not shown, to the frame 18th the fastening traverse 14th . Then the user folds the U-shaped angle 12 with the bracket 10 and the two floor rails 8th by means of the joints 13 from the fastening traverse 14th towards the bottom 16 until the two floor rails arranged parallel to each other 8th on the ground 16 rest. The two floor rails 8th are thus transferred from their rest position to their shown position of use. The user connects the free-standing household appliance 1 with connections of a house installation 11 and pushes the household appliance 1 with his feet 5 by means of the two floor rails 8th into the one for the free-standing household appliance 1 designated niche 4th a. The free-standing household appliance 1 is in the image plane of 1 from the front left towards the rear right, parallel to the two floor rails 8th , emotional. The two floor rails 8th On the one hand, they ensure that the effort required to slide the free-standing household appliance into the niche 4th regardless of the nature of the soil 16 , is low. On the other hand, there are the two floor rails 8th the free-standing household appliance when it is pushed into the niche 4th by means of their raised edges 9 the necessary lateral guidance so that the free-standing household appliance 1 relative to the niche 4th and thus relative to the furniture environment 3 across the wall 6th is precisely aligned.

The user pushes the floor standing household appliance 1 in the niche 4th until the feet 5 of the free-standing household appliance 1 at the end stops of the two bottom rails, also not shown 8th issue. On the one hand, this means that the free-standing household appliance is precisely aligned 1 in the niche 4th across the wall 6th and on the other hand, the precise alignment of the free-standing household appliance 1 in the direction perpendicular to the wall 6th he follows. On the one hand, this effectively prevents vibrations from the floor standing household appliance 1 undesirably to the frame assembly 2 or the furniture environment 3 be transmitted. As a result, for example, damage or at least a functional impairment to the furniture environment 3 as well as the household appliance 1 prevented. On the other hand, this results in undesired noise emissions when operating the free-standing household appliance 1 prevented, but at least reduced.

The user then places the furniture in the furniture environment 3 of the free-standing household appliance 1 along the pretext, not shown, so that there is a row of furniture with the one in the niche 4th inserted free-standing household appliance 1 results, wherein the household appliance together with the furniture of the furniture environment 3 by means of the frame arrangement 2 forms an optical unit. For example, a desired flush of the common front is the furniture environment 3 with that in the niche 4th inserted floor standing household appliance 1 the frame arrangement 2 manufactured as the the furniture surrounding the furniture 3 excessive depth of the free-standing household appliance 1 of about 15 cm in the space between the pretext on which the furniture surrounds the furniture 3 are set up and aligned, and the wall 6th on which the frame assembly 2 is attached, is included.

2 illustrates schematically another embodiment, this time with a perspective view from behind (from the wall) of the frame arrangement 2 .

The frame arrangement 2 has a frame here 18th , which forms two adjacent compartments, with a first compartment 100 to accommodate the free-standing household appliance 1 and the second compartment 101 several holding devices 102 for various electronic elements 103 and various holding devices 102 for water-bearing components 104 having. The second subject 101 or the holding devices provided there 102 serve (for example) the fixed fixing of connections (warm and / or cold) for a wash basin, which is also located on or in the second compartment 101 can extend. Electrical connections for an operating sensor system of the wash basin and / or lighting can also be provided there. You can also use the one in the lower part of the second compartment 101 Illustrated (hot and cold) water pipes, also with holding devices 102 are fixed, consumption meters 112 be integrated. Also for the connection module 7th who have favourited consumption meters 112 , Temperature, pressure or flow sensors or the operation of the electronic elements of water-bearing components 104 The required electrical power can thus be provided in a fixed and protected manner.

At least the upper holding device 102 is designed in such a way that it relates to the second subject 101 can be moved (vertically). The frame arrangement 2 includes a frame 18th , in which a module coupling device 105 is provided with the two essentially identically designed or dimensioned frame 18th are connected to one another (aligned with one another) so that the two compartments are formed next to one another.

In the area of at least one floor rail 8th and (not explicitly shown here) on the frame 18th are several damping elements 106 intended.

It is also illustrated that the frame 18th at least one lateral recess near the floor 107 for a water-bearing component 104 includes. This allows the frame 18th in the area of the lateral recess 107 from the water-bearing component 104 be penetrated and / or absorb them in an integrated manner. For example, a process 113 be led to the house installation to save space or at least partially in the frame 18th integrated water flow can be realized. A (micro) filter can also be used independently of this in the process 114 be provided for filtering out microplastics.
