Definitions

  • the invention relates to a laundry treatment machine, in particular a drum washing machine, a drum dryer or a drum washer dryer, with functional assemblies and functional components required for laundry treatment, with a frame for accommodating the functional assemblies and functional components, and with housing visible surfaces such as side walls, front wall and cover that shape the appearance of the device.
  • the invention relates to a method for manufacturing such a laundry treatment machine.
  • the invention is based on the problem of disclosing a laundry treatment machine which, until its final completion, offers any freedom of choice with regard to its surface design.
  • the frame can be assembled with the functional assemblies and functional components as a workable, testable basic device, the basic device having no visible housing surfaces.
  • the invention is based on the problem of disclosing a method for producing such a laundry treatment machine. This is solved by a method with the features of claim 21.
  • the frame is formed from a floor panel, a rear wall, left and right side reinforcement strips arranged in the upper side region and either two front strips and at least one front reinforcement strip connecting the front strips in the upper region or a stabilization plate arranged at the front.
  • any materials can be used for the frame, e.g. B. non-galvanized sheet, which causes problems during welding.
  • dispensing with screw connections assembly is simplified and easier to automate, since the number of individual parts is reduced.
  • the frame has means for releasably attaching the housing visible surfaces.
  • individual surfaces can be removed for maintenance and for the replacement of components, which makes access to these parts easier.
  • the housing visible surfaces can also be replaced at the installation site of the laundry treatment device if the user requests a different design or a surface is damaged.
  • the bottom part is designed as a closed bottom trough made from a sheet metal blank. As a result, it can be used as a drip pan for leakage water, making the installation of an additional drip pan unnecessary.
  • the floor pan from the existing sheet metal blank with drawn and folded fastening elements for individual functional assemblies or functional components, such as, for example, vibration dampers of the vibrating unit, a tub drain pump or a moisture sensor. In this way, force is transmitted from the vibrating unit directly into the floor pan.
  • the floor pan with the aforementioned components forms a preassembled Unit that can be checked before the frame is assembled.
  • the floor pan in the rear area with a base recess formed by a sheet metal edging.
  • the mains connection box for the power supply of the device can be preassembled.
  • the base recess provides the user with space for laying inlet and outlet hoses and mains connection cables.
  • the floor pan has also proven to be advantageous for the floor pan to be connected to the rear wall in its rear area by clinching. This further increases the stability of the frame.
  • a heating duct on the rear wall for heating and introducing hot air into a drying drum and to connect it to it by clinching.
  • only the introduction of sealing compound at the connection points is necessary to seal the heating duct and the commonly used rubber seal can be dispensed with.
  • the stabilizing plate has also proven to be advantageous to equip the stabilizing plate with fastening elements for fastening individual functional assemblies or functional components, such as, for example, a switch panel including a control unit, power unit, door hinge, door lock or level switch.
  • a switch panel including a control unit, power unit, door hinge, door lock or level switch.
  • the stabilizing plate with the aforementioned components also forms a preassembled unit that can be checked before the frame is assembled.
  • a first functional opening is arranged in the stabilizing plate, which forms the access to the filling opening with a door opening arranged in the front wall and in the edge region of which there are receiving devices for the door lock and the door hinge, the diameter of the door opening being larger than the outside diameter the door is.
  • the region of the stabilizing plate which is visible through the door opening is covered by a substantially circular diaphragm, the diaphragm being connected either to the stabilizing plate or to the door. This improves the visual impression.
  • FIG. 1 shows the basic structure of a laundry treatment machine designed according to the invention (here a washing machine) using an exploded view.
  • the machine consists of a basic device (1) and housing visible surfaces to be arranged on it, namely two side walls (2a, b), the front wall (3) and the cover (4).
  • the basic device (1) is formed by a frame (5) with functional modules and functional components arranged therein.
  • the bottom part of the frame (5) shown in FIG. 2 is produced from a single sheet metal blank by stretching and raising.
  • a laterally closed floor pan (6) is formed from a sheet metal plate and has bores (7a, b) on the base for fastening the moisture sensor (8) and the device feet or a height compensation system (not shown in the drawings).
  • brackets (9) for receiving vibration dampers (10) are created (see FIGS. 5a and b).
  • At the edge of the floor pan (6) there is a clamping device (11) for the tub emptying pump (12) orderly.
  • the floor pan (6) By folding in the rear area, the floor pan (6) is provided with a base recess (13), to which a connecting web (14) and lateral corner connections (15a, b) are connected.
  • the rear wall (16) is connected to the floor pan (6) only by pushing through this.
  • a stabilizing plate (17) Opposite the rear wall (16) is a stabilizing plate (17) with its lower runners (18a, b) in the front corners (19a, b) of the floor pan (6). Stabilizing plate (17) and rear wall (16) are fixed by lateral reinforcement strips (20a, b) for lateral stiffening in the upper area. All of the aforementioned connections are made solely by clinching.
  • the stabilizing plate (17) is provided with functional and assembly openings.
  • a first functional opening (21) with the door opening in the front wall (3) provides access to the filling opening of the tub.
  • this functional opening (21) there are bores which are used to fasten a door lock (22), a door hinge (23) and a panel (24) for holding the front wall (3).
  • Further function openings (25; 27) serve to receive a switch panel (26), a detergent dispenser drawer (28) (see FIG. 3) and level switches (not shown in the drawings).
  • an assembly opening (29) which offers free access to the functional modules and functional components arranged on the floor pan (6).
  • FIG. 3 shows the structure of the base unit (1) based on an exploded view.
  • Floor pan (6) and rear wall (16) form a prefabricated first assembly unit, the floor pan (6) already with the tub drain pump (12), the moisture sensor (8), the vibration dampers (10), the mains connection box (30) and the equipped in the drawing, not shown, as well as an automatic height adjustment, also not shown.
