Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Trommelwaschmaschine in mantelbeschickbarer Bauweise, mit einem Laugenbehälter, an dessen Stirnseiten Ballastmassen befestigt sind und in dessen Innenraum eine Wasch- und Schleudertrommel angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a drum-type washing machine with a coat-loading design, with a tub, to the front of which ballast masses are attached and in the interior of which a washing and centrifuging drum is arranged.
Trommelwaschmaschinen dieser Bauart sind bereits mit einem selbsttragenden Laugenbehälter aus Kunststoff bekannt, wobei die Seitenwände des Laugenbehälters aus Stabilitätsgründen nach außen gewölbt sind und auch die Trommel seitenwände ebenfalls eine derartige nach außen weisende Wölbung besitzen.Drum washing machines of this type are already known with a self-supporting tub made of plastic, the side walls of the tub are curved outwards for reasons of stability and the drum side walls also have such an outward-facing curvature.
Von Nachteil bei dieser Ausführung ist jedoch, daß die Ballastmasse für den Unwuchtausgleich nur am Mantel des Laugenbehälters befestigt werden kann, wenn die Breite der Waschmaschine nicht vergrößert werden soll, oder daß nur eine relativ schmale Wasch- und Schleudertrommel verwendet werden kann, wenn die Ballastmasse an den Stirnseiten des Laugenbehälters befestigt werden soll. Eine sehr schmale Wasch- und Schleudertrommel führt jedoch zu Einschränkungen der waschtechnischen Effekte und des Aufnahmevolumens für die zu waschende Wäsche.A disadvantage of this design, however, is that the ballast mass for the imbalance compensation can only be attached to the outer shell of the tub if the width of the washing machine is not to be increased, or that only a relatively narrow washing and spinning drum can be used if the ballast mass to be attached to the front of the tub. However, a very narrow washing and spinning drum leads to limitations in the washing effects and the volume of the laundry to be washed.
Nachteilig ist weiterhin auch, daß die nach außen gerichtete Wölbung einen gewissen Totraum im Bereich des Trommelzentrums bewirkt, was negative Auswirkungen auf den Wasserverbrauch der Trommelwaschmaschine und damit auch auf deren Energieverbrauch und eine höhere Waschmittelmenge hat.Another disadvantage is that the outward curvature causes a certain dead space in the area of the drum center, which has negative effects on the water consumption of the drum washing machine and thus also on its energy consumption and a higher amount of detergent.
Eine gattungsgemäße Trommelwaschmaschine ist aus der FR-A-2 163 361 bekannt. Allerdings weist diese Trommelwaschmaschine mit den eingangs genannten Merkmalen ebenfalls die bereits beschriebenen Nachteile auf.A generic drum washing machine is known from FR-A-2 163 361. However, this drum washing machine with the features mentioned above also has the disadvantages already described.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde bei einer Trommelwaschmaschine der eingangs erwähnten Art die vorstehend genannten Nachteile zu vermeiden, insbesondere eine Trommelwaschmaschine mit einem möglichst großen Fassungsvermögen der Trommel mit sehr gutem Wasch- und Entwässerungseffekt zu schaffen.The present invention is therefore based on the object to avoid the disadvantages mentioned above in a drum washing machine of the type mentioned at the outset, in particular to create a drum washing machine with the largest possible drum capacity with a very good washing and dewatering effect.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß sich die Wasch- und Schleudertrommel von ihrem äußeren Bereich aus zu ihrem Rotationszentrum hin verjüngt, und daß die Laugenbehälterstirnwände in Richtung zum Rotationszentrum schmaler ausgebildet sind als in ihrem äußeren Bereich.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the washing and centrifuging drum tapers from its outer region to its center of rotation, and that the tub end walls are made narrower in the direction of the center of rotation than in its outer region.
Als einer der wesentlichen Vorteile dieser erfindungsgemäßen Lösung ist ein sehr guter Wasch- und Schleudereffekt zu nennen, der durch diese Trommelausgestaltung erzielt wird. Gleichzeitig wird dadurch auch der für den Wasch- und Entwässerungseffekt unbedeutende Freiraum im Trommel zentrum effektiver außerhalb der Trommel für die Unterbringung von weiteren Bauteilen nützbar, wodurch das erforderliche Volumen für den Einsatz von relativ billigen Ballastmassen, die z.B. aus Beton und ähnlichem gegossen sind, gewonnen wird.One of the essential advantages of this solution according to the invention is a very good washing and spinning effect which is achieved by this drum design. At the same time, the space in the drum center, which is insignificant for the washing and dewatering effect, can be used more effectively outside the drum for the accommodation of further components, as a result of which the required volume for the use of relatively cheap ballast masses, e.g. are cast from concrete and the like.
Bei der Drehung der Wasch- und Schleudertrommel im Schleuderlauf bildet sich ein Wäschering, wobei durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung der Wasch- und Schleudertrommel im Außenbereich mehr Raum zur Verfügung steht bzw. ein größerer Raum für die Wäsche vorhanden ist. In diesem Bereich tritt auch die größte Zentrifugalkraft beim Schleudern auf, so daß die Entwässerung der Wäsche effektiver durchgeführt werden kann. Gerade in diesem äußeren Bereich steht nun durch die erfindungsgemäße Trommelform im Vergleich zu Lösungen nach dem Stand der Technik bei gleichem Bauraum mehr Platz zur Verfügung.When the washing and spinning drum rotates in the spin cycle, a laundry ring is formed, whereby by the inventive design of the washing and centrifuging drum more space is available in the outside area or there is a larger space for the laundry. The greatest centrifugal force occurs during spinning in this area, so that the dewatering of the laundry can be carried out more effectively. In this outer area in particular, the drum shape according to the invention now provides more space compared to solutions according to the prior art with the same installation space.
Werden auch neben der Einziehung der Trommelseitenwände zusätzlich die Laugenbehälterstirnwände entsprechend nach innen gezogen, so erhält man ohne Verlust an Wirkungsgrad in dem eingezogenen Bereich einen Freiraum, in dem Ballastmassen für den Unwuchtausgleich untergebracht werden können. Dies bedeutet, daß die erfindungsgemäße Trommelwaschmaschine bei gleicher Wäscheleistung in ihrer Breite deutlich geringer ist im Vergleich zu bekannten Konstruktionen.If, in addition to the retraction of the drum side walls, the outer tub end walls are also pulled inwards accordingly, there is a free space in the retracted area without loss of efficiency, in which ballast masses can be accommodated for the unbalance compensation. This means that the drum washing machine according to the invention is significantly smaller in width with the same laundry performance compared to known designs.
Eine einfache konstruktive Lösung für die Ausgestaltung der Waschtrommel kann dabei darin bestehen, daß die Trommelseitenwände flache, kegelstumpfförmige Vertiefungen aufweisen.A simple constructive solution for the design of the washing drum can consist in the fact that the drum side walls have flat, frustoconical depressions.
In einer sehr vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann dabei vorgesehen sein, daß der Kraftwirkungslinien-Abstand bzw. -Verlauf zwischen den Lagerelementen der Waschtrommel kleiner als die maximale Trommelbreite ist.In a very advantageous embodiment of the invention it can be provided that the force line distance or course between the bearing elements of the washing drum is smaller than the maximum drum width.
Durch diese Ausgestaltung läßt sich die Biegebeanspruchung der Lagerelemente für die Wasch- und Schleudertrommel reduzieren.With this configuration, the bending stress of the bearing elements for the washing and centrifuging drums can be reduced.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte konstruktive Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann darin bestehen, daß sich in Richtung auf die Umfangswand an die kegelstumpfförmigen Vertiefungen ein Bereich der Trommelseitenwände anschließt, der geradlinig bzw. senkrecht zur Rotationsachse verläuft.A further advantageous constructive embodiment of the invention can consist in that a region of the drum side walls adjoins the truncated cone-shaped recesses in the direction of the peripheral wall, which region is straight or perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
Ebenso wie im Innenbereich die Seitenwände nicht in einem spitzen Winkel enden, sondern im Bereich der Lagerelemente der Waschtrommel geradlinig bzw. senkrecht zur Rotationsachse auslaufen, ist dies auch außenseitig bzw. im äußeren Umfangs- bzw. Mantelbereich der Waschtrommel der Fall.Just as in the inner area the side walls do not end at an acute angle, but instead run straight or perpendicular to the axis of rotation in the area of the bearing elements of the washing drum, this is also the case on the outside or in the outer peripheral or jacket area of the washing drum.
Diese Ausgestaltung ermöglicht bei einer ausreichenden Stabilität der Wasch- und Schleudertrommel eine maximale Breite für den sich beim Schleudervorgang bildenden Wäschering, wodurch sich die Dicke des Wäscheringes verringert und demzufolge die für den Entwässerungseffekt maßgebliche durchschnittliche Zentrifugalbeschleunigung am höchsten ist. Des weiteren werden die Fließwege der auszuschleudernden Flotte minimiert, was sich ebenfalls günstig auf den Entwässerungseffekt auswirken kann.With a sufficient stability of the washing and spinning drum, this configuration enables a maximum width for the laundry ring formed during the spinning process, which reduces the thickness of the laundry ring and consequently that for the dewatering effect relevant average centrifugal acceleration is highest. Furthermore, the flow paths of the fleet to be ejected are minimized, which can also have a favorable effect on the drainage effect.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind aus den übrigen Unteransprüchen und aus dem nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung prinzipmäßig beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel ersichtlich.Advantageous developments and refinements of the invention can be seen from the remaining subclaims and from the exemplary embodiment described in principle below with reference to the drawing.
Da die Trommelwaschmaschine grundsätzlich von bekannter Bauart ist, werden nachfolgend nur die für die Erfindung wesentlichen Teile näher beschrieben.Since the drum washing machine is basically of a known type, only the parts essential to the invention are described in more detail below.
In der Zeichnung ist der prinzipielle Aufbau der Trommelwaschmaschine im Querschnitt dargestellt, wobei das Volumen des tropfnassen Waschgutes, das dieses bei maximaler Füllmasse benötigt, bei ca. 60 - 70 % des Volumens einer Waschtrommel 1 liegt, wobei das Waschgut während schneller Drehungen der Waschtrommel 1 als Wäschering vorliegt.In the drawing, the basic structure of the drum washing machine is shown in cross section, the volume of the dripping wet laundry, which this requires at maximum filling mass, is approximately 60-70% of the volume of a washing drum 1, the laundry being washed during rapid rotations of the washing drum 1 is available as a laundry ring.
Während des Waschvorgangs wird die Wäsche mit Hilfe von Wenderippen 9 so in Umlauf gebracht, daß im Inneren der Waschtrommel 1 ein erforderlicher Freiraum für eine freie Fallbewegung des Waschgutes entsteht. Diese, insbesondere für den Wasch- und Spüleffekt wichtige Fallbewegung ist umso besser, je größer der Durchmesser des Freiraumes in der Waschtrommel 1 ist.During the washing process, the laundry is circulated with the aid of turning
Wie aus der Figur ersichtlich ist, weisen die beiden Trommelseitenwände 2 flache, kegelstumpfförmige Vertiefungen 3 auf und zwar derart, daß die Waschtrommel 1 in ihrem Rotationszentrum erkennbar schmaler ausgebildet ist als in ihrem äußeren Bereich. Diese Verjüngung verläuft dabei gleichmäßig. Die Breite der Trommelmitte 8 (siehe Pfeil) kann dabei etwa 5/6 bis 4/5 der maximalen Trommelbreite 7 (siehe Pfeil) entsprechen. Der Winkel der kegelstumpfförmigen Vertiefungen kann dabei jeweils 150 - 160° betragen.As can be seen from the figure, the two
Für eine Wasch- und Schleudertrommel 1 mit einem Fassungsvermögen von z.B. 4,5 kg Trockenwäsche kann der Durchmesser der Wasch- und Schleudertrommel 1 zwischen 440 - 480 mm und deren Breite zwischen 280 - 320 mm betragen.For a washing and spinning drum 1 with a capacity of e.g. 4.5 kg of dry laundry, the diameter of the washing and centrifuging drum 1 can be between 440-480 mm and its width between 280-320 mm.
Um eine stabile Lagerung der Wasch- und Schleudertrommel 1 mit der Antriebswelle über Lagerelemente 5 zu erreichen, schließen sich an die nach innen gerichteten Vertiefungen im zentralen Bereich geradlinige bzw. senkrecht zur Rotationsachse verlaufende Bereiche an. Diese geradlinigen Bereiche dienen auch als Flanschbefestigung für die Lagerelemente 5.In order to achieve a stable mounting of the washing and centrifuging drum 1 with the drive shaft via bearing
Wie ersichtlich, sind die Laugenbehälterstirnwände 4 derart nach innen gezogen bzw. tauchen derart ein, daß der Kraftwirkungslinien-Abstand zwischen den Lagerelementen 5 der Waschtrommel 1 kleiner ist als die maximale Trommelbreite 7.As can be seen, the suds
Der äußere Durchmesser der kegelstumpfförmigen Vertiefungen 3 (siehe Pfeil 11) beträgt etwa 3/4 bis 4/5 des Trommeldurchmessers.The outer diameter of the frusto-conical depressions 3 (see arrow 11) is approximately 3/4 to 4/5 of the drum diameter.
An diese kegelstumpfförmigen Vertiefungen 3 schließt sich noch ein äußerer Bereich 12 an, in dem die beiden Trommelseitenwände 2 geradlinig bzw. senkrecht zur Rotationsachse verlaufen.An
Durch die angegebene maßliche Abstimmung zwischen der Breite der Trommelmitte 8 und der maximalen Trommelbreite 7 sowie zwischen dem Trommeldurchmesser und dem äußeren Durchmesser 11 der kegelstumpfförmigen Vertiefung 3 wird ein ausgewogenes Verhältnis zwischen der erforderlichen Steifigkeit der Wasch- und Schleudertrommel und einem erforderlichen Waschringvolumen für das gebräuchlichste und wichtigste Füllmassenspektrum erreicht.Due to the specified dimensional coordination between the width of the
Die Anordnung der Lagerelemente 5, im allgemeinen Kugel- oder Wälzlager, innerhalb der maximalen Trommelbreite 7 gewährleistet darüber hinaus optimale verhältnisse und zwar sowohl in den Trommelseitenwänden 2, als auch in den Laugenbehälterstirnwänden 4 und andererseits darüber hinaus auch feste, von Versteifungsrippen 6, die an den Laugenbehälterstirnwänden 4 innenseitig angeordnet sind, umgebende Lagersitze.The arrangement of the
Wie ersichtlich, entstehen durch die nach innen gezogenen Trommelseitenwände 2 und die in gleicher Weise nach innen gezogenen Laugenbehälterstirnwände 4 an beiden Stirnseiten Freiräume. In diesen Freiräumen werden sehr flache Ballastmassen 10 in platzsparender Bauweise angeordnet, wobei im inneren Bereich aufgrund der eingezogenen Wände die Ballastmassen 10 ebenfalls verstärkt nach innen ausgebildet werden können.As can be seen, the
Durch diese flache stirnseitige Anordnung der Ballastmassen 10 werden gute Schwing- und Lastbedingungen hinsichtlich einer Kompensation von Unwucht in allen Schwingungsebenen erreicht.This flat arrangement of the
