Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine stirnseitig beschickbare Trommelwaschmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a frontally loadable Drum washing machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
Aus der DE-PS 10 51 234 ist eine Trommelwaschmaschine bekannt, die mit einer elektrischen Lichtquelle zum Beleuchten des Wäschetrommel-Innenraumes ausgerüstet ist. Die Lichtquelle ist bei dieser Trommelwaschmaschine am Mantel des ortsfesten und die perforierte Wäschetrommel aufnehmenden Laugenbehälters befestigt. Durch die Perforierung der Wäschetrommel hindurch erfolgt die Beleuchtung des Wäschetrommel-Innenraumes. Bei einer solchen Anordnung der Beleuchtungseinrichtung ist die Lichtausbeute und damit die Ausleuchtung des Wäschetrommel-Innenraumes relativ schlecht und damit unzureichend, so daß trotz Vorhandenseins einer Wäschetrommel-Beleuchtungseinrichtung beim Entnehmen der gewaschenen Wäsche aus der Wäschetrommel insbesondere kleine und dunkle Wäschestücke übersehen werden können. Des weiteren ist die Beleuchtungseinrichtung infolge der Anordnung am Laugebehälter während des Schleudervorganges erheblichen Erschütterungen ausgesetzt, was zu einem frühzeitigen Ausfall dieser und damit zu einem kostenintensiven Kundendienstfall führen kann.From DE-PS 10 51 234 a drum washing machine is known, which with an electric light source to illuminate the Laundry drum interior is equipped. The light source is at this drum washing machine on the jacket of the stationary and the perforated Attached washing drum receiving tub. Through the Perforation of the laundry drum takes place through the lighting of the Laundry drum interior. With such an arrangement the The lighting device is the luminous efficacy and thus the illumination of the laundry drum interior is relatively poor and therefore inadequate, so that despite the presence of a laundry drum lighting device in particular when removing the washed laundry from the laundry drum small and dark laundry items can be overlooked. Furthermore is the lighting device due to the arrangement on the tub exposed to considerable vibrations during the spinning process, which leads to an early failure of this and thus to a costly customer service case.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einer Trommelwaschmaschine der in Rede stehenden Art die Anordnung der Beleuchtungseinrichtung so zu verbessern, daß einerseits bei einfacher Konstruktion ein Höchstmaß an Lichtausbeute und damit guter und blendfreier Ausleuchtung des Wäschetrommel-Innenraumes erhalten wird und daß andererseits die Beleuchtungseinrichtung vor Einflüsse, die zu einem vorzeitigen Ausfallen dieser beitragen, geschützt ist.The invention has for its object in a drum washing machine the arrangement in question of the lighting device in question to improve that on the one hand with a simple construction a maximum in light output and thus good and glare-free illumination of the Laundry drum interior is obtained and that, on the other hand, the Lighting device from influences leading to premature Failure to contribute to this is protected.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe gemäß der Erfindung ist dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 zu entnehmen.The solution to this problem according to the invention is the characteristic Part of claim 1 can be seen.
Vorteilhafte weitere Ausgestaltungen des Gegenstandes der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous further refinements of the subject matter of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Die wesentlichen Vorteile der Erfindung sind unter anderem darin zu sehen, daß die Beleuchtungseinrichtung sich außerhalb des Schwingungssystems und des Naßbereichs der Waschmaschine befindet. Das bedeutet, daß Temperatur-, Schwingungs- und Feuchtigkeitsprobleme für die Beleuchtungseinrichtung auf ein Minimum reduziert sind.The main advantages of the invention include that see that the lighting device is outside the Vibration system and the wet area of the washing machine is located. The means temperature, vibration and humidity problems for the lighting device is reduced to a minimum.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird anhand dieser nachfolgend näher beschrieben. In der Zeichnung ist lediglich ein zum Verständnis der Erfindung erforderlicher Teilausschnitt aus einer Trommelwaschmaschine dargestellt.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is described in more detail below based on this. In the drawing is merely one necessary to understand the invention Partial section from a drum washing machine shown.
In der Zeichnung ist mit 1 die Frontseite des Gehäuses 2 einer nicht weiter dargestellten stirnseitig beschickbaren Trommelwaschmaschine bezeichnet, die eine kreisförmige Beschickungsöffnung 3 aufweist. Die Beschickungsöffnung 3 ist durch ein sogenanntes topfartiges Bullaugentürfenster 4 in üblicher Weise dicht verschließbar. Im Gehäuse 2 ist ein Laugen- bzw,. Waschbehälter 5 untergebracht, dem ein vorzugsweise aus einer Betonmasse bestehendes Ausgleichsgewicht 6 zugeordnet ist. Der Laugen- bzw. Waschbehälter 5 dient zur Aufnahme einer umlaufenden perforierten Wäschetrommel 7. Die kreisförmige Beschickungsöffnung 3 für die Wäschetrommel 7 ist von einer schlauchartigen Faltenbalgdichtung 8 umgeben, die einerseits am Laugen- bzw. Waschbehälter 5 und andererseits an der Frontseite 1 des Waschmaschinengehäuses 2 befestigt ist. Außerhalb des Laugen- bzw. Waschbehälters 5 und damit entfernt vom schwingenden System der Waschmaschine ist innerhalb des Waschmaschinengehäuses eine elektrische Lichtquelle 9 mit einem zugeordneten stabförmigen Lichtleiter 10 zum Be- bzw. Ausleuchten des Wäschetrommel-Innenraumes 11 angeordnet. Der Lichtleiter 10 ist zweckmäßig durch eine Verdickung 8′ der Faltenbalgdichtung 8 dicht hindurchgeführt und ist mit seinem Lichtauslaßbereich 12 in Richtung zur Innenseite der Rückwandung der Wäschetrommel 7 hin gerichtet. Der Lichtauslaßbereich 12 bzw. der Kopf der Lichtquelle 9 weist zweckmäßig eine Kugelfläche 13 auf und befindet sich außerhalb der Faltenbalgdichtung 8.In the drawing, 1 denotes the front of the housing 2 of a drum-type washing machine, which is not shown further, and which has a circular loading opening 3 . The loading opening 3 can be closed tightly in the usual manner by a so-called pot-like porthole door window 4 . In the housing 2 is a lye or. Wash container 5 housed, which is assigned a balance weight 6 , preferably consisting of a concrete mass. The lye or washing container 5 serves to hold a rotating perforated laundry drum 7 . The circular loading opening 3 for the laundry drum 7 is surrounded by a tubular bellows seal 8 , which is fastened on the one hand to the tub or washing container 5 and on the other hand to the front side 1 of the washing machine housing 2 . An electric light source 9 with an associated rod-shaped light guide 10 for illuminating or illuminating the interior of the washing drum 11 is arranged outside the suds or washing container 5 and thus away from the vibrating system of the washing machine. The light guide 10 is expediently passed through a thickening 8 'of the bellows seal 8 and is directed with its light outlet area 12 towards the inside of the rear wall of the washing drum 7 . The light outlet area 12 or the head of the light source 9 expediently has a spherical surface 13 and is located outside the bellows seal 8 .
Der stabförmige Lichtleiter 10 ist am Ende hin leicht gekrümmt ausgebildet. Der gekrümmte Teil 10′ ist dabei innerhalb der Verdickung 8′ der Faltenbalgdichtung 8 angeordnet. Das Endstück 10′′ des gekrümmten Lichtleiterteils 10′ ist etwa parallel zum topfartigen Teil 4′ des Bullaugentürfensters 4 verlaufend geführt. Damit ergibt sich eine in das Innere der Wäschetrommel 7 gerichtete Lichtleitkomponente.The rod-shaped light guide 10 is slightly curved at the end. The curved part 10 'is arranged within the thickening 8 ' of the bellows seal 8 . The end piece 10 '' of the curved light guide part 10 'is approximately parallel to the pot-like part 4 ' of the porthole window 4 . This results in a light guide component directed into the interior of the laundry drum 7 .
