Description

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer metallischen Küchenspüle gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Patentanspruch 1.The invention is based on a metallic kitchen sink according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Küchenspülen werden vorwiegend als Einbauspülen hergestellt, so daß sie in eine entsprechende Öffnung einer Arbeitsplatte eingebaut werden können. Ebenso können diese Küchenspülen aber auch in Form einer kompletten Abdeckung, die die Arbeitsplatte ersetzt, hergestellt werden. Neben dem Becken können weitere, gegebenenfalls unterschiedlich große Becken angeordnet sein; üblicherweise ist auch zumindest ein Tropfteil in die Spüle integriert.Such kitchen sinks are mainly used as built-in sinks manufactured so that they are in a corresponding Opening of a worktop can be installed. Likewise, these kitchen sinks can also be in the form of a complete cover that replaces the countertop, getting produced. In addition to the pool, if necessary, different sized pools arranged his; usually is at least one Drip part integrated in the sink.

Bei der eingangs beschriebenen Bauform, wo der Rahmen und das Becken separat hergestellt werden, ist es üblich, das Becken in den Rahmen einzuschweißen, woraus sehr aufwendige Nacharbeiten resultieren. Vor allem müssen die Schweißstellen über den gesamten Umfang der eingeschweißten Becken geschliffen und poliert, insbesondere gebürstet werden. Häufig wird auch die gesamte Spüle gebürstet. Diese Arbeiten sind mit einem hohen Kosten- und Zeitaufwand verbunden und wegen der beim Schleifen und Polieren anfallenden Schadstoffe auch von der Umweltbelastung her problematisch.In the design described above, where the frame and the pelvis are made separately, it is common weld the pelvis into the frame, from what very elaborate rework results. Especially the welds must cover the entire circumference of the welded basin ground and polished, especially to be brushed. Often the whole Brushed sink. These works with a high Cost and time involved and because of the grinding and polishing resulting pollutants also problematic in terms of environmental pollution.

Durch die AT-B-3 20 538 ist es bekannt, anstelle einer Schweißverbindung zwischen Rahmen und Becken die Verbindung durch Aneinanderlegen beider Teile und anschließende Verklammerung durch eine Einfassung mit U-förmigem Profil herbeizuführen. Oder gemäß der FR-A- 1360364 werden Rahmen und Becken über elastische profilierte Ringe miteinander verhakt.From AT-B-3 20 538 it is known instead of a welded joint the connection between the frame and the pool by putting both together Parts and subsequent stapling through a U-shaped frame Create profile. Or according to FR-A-1360364 frames and Cymbals hooked together via elastic profiled rings.

Außerdem ist es durch die US-A 3 126 552 bekannt, die komplette Spüle an ihrem äußeren Umfang mit einem Rahmen zu versehen, der in passenden Vorsprüngen im Tischplatten-Ausschnitt verrastbar ist, so dass die Spüle von oben eingebaut und arretiert werden kann.It is also known from US-A 3 126 552 to apply the complete sink to provide its outer circumference with a frame that fits in Projections in the table top cutout can be locked, so that the sink from can be installed and locked at the top.

Daneben ist es auch bekannt, die Spüle aus einer einzigen Platine im Tiefziehverfahren herzustellen, so daß das Einschweißen der verschiedenen Becken entfällt. Das Tiefziehverfahren hat jedoch folgende Nachteile: zum einen ist die gestalterische Freiheit stark eingeschränkt, insbesondere die Beckentiefe und die Beckenform limitiert, weil die Ziehbarkeit des Stahlbleches begrenzt ist. Zum anderen muß aus ziehtechnischen Gründen ein relativ großer Radius im Übergang vom Becken zum Rahmen und eine bestimmte Stegbreite zwischen benachbarten Becken eingehalten werden.In addition, it is also known to sink the sink from a single board To produce deep-drawing processes so that the welding of the different Basin is eliminated. However, the deep-drawing process has the following disadvantages: firstly the creative freedom is severely restricted, especially the depth of the pool and the pool shape is limited because the drawability of the steel sheet is limited. Secondly, for technical reasons, a relatively large radius in the Transition from the pool to the frame and a certain web width between neighboring pools are observed.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Spüle, insbesondere aus Edelstahl, zu entwickeln, die einerseits die Gestaltungsfreiheit mehrteiliger Spülen aufweist, andererseits aber das aufwendige Verschweißen und anschließende Schleifen und Bürsten vermeidet.Proceeding from this, the present invention is based on the object of a Sink, especially made of stainless steel, to develop the one hand Design freedom of multi-part sinks, but on the other hand that avoids complex welding and subsequent grinding and brushing.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst. This object is achieved by the features of Claim 1 solved.

Der beschriebene Einpreßvorgang gewährleistet eine dichte und stabile Verbindung zwischen Becken und Rahmen, ohne auf das aufwendige Einschweißen mit anschließendem Schleifen und Bürsten angewiesen zu sein. Dabei kann die Preßpassung entweder durch ein Untermaß an den Verbindungsflächen des Rahmens gegenüber den korrespondierenden innenliegenden Verbindungsflächen des Beckens oder umgekehrt durch ein Übermaß an den Verbindungsflächen des Beckens gegenüber den außenliegenden Verbindungsflächen des Rahmens gebildet sein. Die für die Preßpassung verantwortlichen Verbindungsflächen verlaufen etwa vertikal, weil in dieser Richtung auch das Becken in den Rahmen eingesetzt wird. The described press-in process ensures a tight and stable connection between basin and frame, without the need for time-consuming welding with subsequent grinding and brushing. The Press fit either by an undersize on the connecting surfaces of the Frame opposite the corresponding internal connection surfaces of the pelvis or vice versa due to an excess of the connecting surfaces of the basin opposite the external connecting surfaces of the Be formed frame. The connecting surfaces responsible for the press fit run approximately vertically, because in this direction the pelvis in the Frame is used.

Um einen korrekten Übergang zwischen Beckenrand und Rahmen sicherzustellen, empfiehlt es sich, daß die miteinander verpreßten Verbindungsflächen durchgehend über den ganzen Umfang des Beckens verlaufen.To ensure a correct transition between the pool edge and To ensure the framework, it is recommended that the connecting surfaces pressed together continuously run across the entire circumference of the pelvis.

Die Stabilität der erfindungsgemäßen Preßverbindung kann noch dadurch erhöht werden, daß mehrere voneinander distanzierte oder unterschiedlich gerichtete Verbindungsflächen mit Preßpassung zwischen Rahmen und Becken vorgesehen werden. Ebenso dadurch, daß zumindest eine Preßpassung durch hinterschnittene Zonen im Verbindungsbereich des Rahmens oder des Beckens ergänzt wird.The stability of the press connection according to the invention can be increased by the fact that several of each other distant or differently directed Interfaces with press fit between frame and Basin can be provided. Likewise in that at least a press fit through undercut zones in the connection area of the frame or pelvis added becomes.

Hinsichtlich der konstruktiven Ausgestaltung empfiehlt es sich, daß die Verbindungsflächen durch einen oberen, etwa horizontal umlaufenden Beckenrand einerseits und eine den Beckenrand seitlich und darunter umfassende Stützfläche des Rahmens andererseits gebildet sind, wobei zumindest der Beckenrand mit seiner Außenkante in einer Preßpassung mit dem Rahmen verspannt ist. Recommends with regard to the design that the connecting surfaces are separated by an upper, approximately horizontally encircling pool edge on the one hand and one encircling the pool edge to the side and below Support surface of the frame are formed on the other hand whereby at least the pool edge with its outer edge in a press fit is clamped to the frame.

Desweiteren empfiehlt es sich, daß die genannte Stützfläche des Rahmens in einen nach unten ragenden Zentrierflansch ausläuft, der mit der Beckenwand verspannt wird. Dadurch wird das Einsetzen und das Fixieren des Beckens im Rahmen begünstigt.Furthermore, it is recommended that the support surface mentioned the frame into a downward centering flange leaks, which braces the pool wall becomes. This will insert and fix the Favored basin in the frame.

Besonders stabil wird die gewünschte Verbindung, wenn der Beckenrand von oben einrastbar in einer umlaufenden hinterschnittenen Zone des Rahmens verspannt ist. Diese hinterschnittene Zone ist in einem vertikal abgebogenen Bereich des Rahmens korrespondierend zum Beckenrand untergebracht und sichert zugleich einen sauberen Übergang zwischen Beckenrand und Rahmen. Außerdem kann der Rahmen in einer hinterschnittenen Zone des Beckens verspannt werden. Damit die Verbindung zwischen Becken und Rahmen absolut dicht ist, wird in dem Überlappungsbereich eine Klebeund/oder Dichtmasse angeordnet, insbesondere mit eingepreßt.The desired connection becomes particularly stable if the pool edge can be snapped into a circumferential from above undercut zone of the frame is clamped. This undercut Zone is in a vertically bent area of the Frame corresponding to the pool edge and at the same time ensures a clean transition between Pool edge and frame. The frame can also be in a undercut zone of the pelvis. So that the connection between the pool and frame absolutely is tight, an adhesive and / or in the overlap area Sealing compound arranged, in particular with pressed.

Further advantages and details of the invention emerge from the following description of an exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawing; shows
Figure 1
a schematic longitudinal section through a built-in sink and
Figure 2
the section labeled "X" in Figure 1 on a larger scale.

Die als ganzes mit 1 bezeichnete Einbauspüle macht zunächst den Eindruck einer herkömmlichen Bauart: Sie besitzt einen umlaufenden erhöhten Randbereich 2, einen vom Rand aus tiefer gesetzten ebenfalls umlaufenden Spiegelbereich 8, ein Tropfteil 3, ein großes Spülbekken 4 und ein kleineres Restebecken 5.The built-in sink labeled 1 as a whole does first the impression of a conventional design: you has a peripheral raised edge area 2, one also encircling from the edge Mirror area 8, a drip part 3, a large sink 4 and a smaller remnant pool 5.

Der umlaufende Randbereich 2, der Spiegelbereich 8 und das Tropfteil 3 werden insgesamt als Spülenrahmen 9 bezeichnet. In diesen Spülenrahmen werden bei den herkömmlichen Spülenbauformen die beiden Becken 4 und 5 eingeschweißt, woraus die eingangs näher beschriebenen Nachteile resultieren.The peripheral edge area 2, the mirror area 8 and the drip part 3 are a total of 9 sink frames designated. In this sink frame with the conventional Sink designs the two basins 4 and 5 welded, from which the above described in more detail Disadvantages result.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verbindung zwischen dem Rahmen 9 und den Becken 4 und 5 ist in Figur 2 gezeigt. Man erkennt, daß in einen vertikalen Bereich 9a des Rahmens 9 ein Hinterschnitt 12 als Becken-Rückhalteprägung eingepreßt ist. Der Hinterschnitt 12 läuft jeweils entlang der Außenkontur des horizontal abgewinkelten Becken-Außenrandes 4a bzw. 5a und ist ihm gegenüber so positioniert, daß dieser Außenrand 4b, 5b in den Hinterschnitt 12 einschnappt, wenn die Becken von oben in den Rahmen 9 eingepreßt werden.The connection according to the invention between the frame 9 and basin 4 and 5 is shown in Figure 2. One recognises, that in a vertical region 9a of the frame 9th an undercut 12 is pressed in as a pelvic retention embossing is. The undercut 12 runs along each the outer contour of the horizontally angled outer edge of the pool 4a or 5a and is positioned opposite it that this outer edge 4b, 5b in the undercut 12 snaps when the pelvis from above into the Frame 9 are pressed.

Unmittelbar von dem Hinterschnitt 12 ausgehend läuft der Rahmen 9 horizontal nach innen in Richtung zur Bekkenwand, so daß er eine Stützfläche 10 für den darüber befindlichen Rand 4a bzw. 5a des Beckens 4 bzw. 5 bildet. Daran schließt sich ein etwa vertikal nach unten laufender Zentrierflansch 11 an, der an der gegenüberliegenden Beckenwand 4c, 5c anliegt. Die miteinander in Anlage kommenden Berührflächen von Rahmen und Becken sind so dimensioniert, daß das Becken nach dem Einpressen in den Hinterschnitt 12 sowohl horizontal als auch vertikal geführt ist. Runs directly from the undercut 12 the frame 9 horizontally inwards towards the Bekkenwand, so that he has a support surface 10 for the above located edge 4a or 5a of the basin 4 or 5 forms. This is followed approximately vertically downwards running centering flange 11 on the opposite Pool wall 4c, 5c abuts. The in each other Contact surfaces coming from the frame and pool are dimensioned so that the pelvis after pressing in the undercut 12 both horizontally and is guided vertically.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verpressung längs sich überlap-Die erfindungsgemäße Verpressung längs sich überlappender Verbindungsflächen erfolgt im Ausführungsbeispiel in zwei Bereichen. Zum einen im Bereich des Hinterschnittes 12, wo die Außenkante 4b und 5b des Beckens 4 bzw. 5 Übermaß aufweist gegenüber dem damit korrespondierenden vertikalen Wandbereich 9a des Rahmens 9. Zum anderen zwischen dem Zentrierflansch 11 und dem gegenüberliegenden Wandabschnitt 4c oder 5c des Beckens 4 bzw. 5, indem der Zentrierflansch 11 ein nach unten hin zunehmendes Untermaß gegenüber der Außenkontur der Beckenwandung in diesem Bereich aufweist.The compression according to the invention overlaps-Die compression according to the invention along overlapping Connection surfaces are in the embodiment in two areas. On the one hand in the area of Undercut 12 where the outer edge 4b and 5b of the Basin 4 or 5 is oversized compared to it corresponding vertical wall area 9a of the frame 9. On the other hand between the centering flange 11 and the opposite wall section 4c or 5c of the Basin 4 or 5 by the centering flange 11 after undersize increasing towards the outside contour at the bottom has the pool wall in this area.

Um eine absolut dichte Verbindung zu gewährleisten, wird zwischen dem Beckenrand 4a bzw. 5a einerseits und dem Stützrand 10 andererseits eine Klebe- und Dichtmasse angeordnet, die beim Fügeprozeß zwischen diesen beiden Teilen verpreßt wird.To ensure an absolutely tight connection, is between the pool edge 4a and 5a on the one hand and the support edge 10, on the other hand, an adhesive and sealing compound arranged in the joining process between these both parts is pressed.

Der vom Beckenrand aus vertikal nach oben laufende Bereich des Rahmens 9 dient zweckmäßig noch als Zentrierfläche für Zubehör, etwa für ein Rüstbrett, einen Geschirrkorb etc.The area running vertically upwards from the pool edge the frame 9 is also useful as a centering surface for accessories, such as a rescue board, a crockery basket Etc.

Das Herstellungsverfahren der erfindungsgemäßen Spüle ist durch folgende Schritte gekennzeichnet: Zunächst wird in den herkömmlich vorgeformten Rahmen die Becken-Rückhalteprägung in Form einer umlaufenden hinterschnittenen Zone für jedes Becken eingepreßt. Diese hinterschnittene Zone liegt vorzugsweise in einem vertikalen Wandbereich des Rahmens, weil das Aussehen dadurch gefälliger wird. Danach wird für jedes Becken eine Öffnung in den Rahmen gestanzt, wobei die Öffnung jedoch einen kleineren lichten Querschnitt hat, als es dem Beckenquerschnitt entspricht. Anschließend wird die Stützfläche 10 mit dem Zentrierflansch 11 eingepreßt. Nunmehr können die beiden Becken 4 und 5, die zweckmäßig am Beckenrand genau auf die gewünschte Kontur geschnitten worden sind, zusammen mit der Klebe- und Dichtmasse 13 in den Rahmen eingepreßt werden, worauf die Spüle fertiggestellt ist.The manufacturing process of the sink according to the invention is characterized by the following steps: First is the pelvic restraint embossing in the conventionally preformed frame in the form of a circumferential undercut Zone pressed in for each pool. This undercut zone is preferably in a vertical Wall area of the frame because of the appearance becomes more compliant. After that, for each pool punched an opening into the frame, the opening but has a smaller clear cross-section than it does corresponds to the pelvic cross-section. Then the Support surface 10 is pressed with the centering flange 11. Now the two basins 4 and 5 can be used cut exactly to the desired contour at the pool edge have been, together with the adhesive and Sealant 13 are pressed into the frame, whereupon the sink is finished.

Zusammenfassend bietet die vorliegende Erfindung den Vorteil, daß keine Nachbehandlung im Verbindungsbereich notwendig ist, daß die Logistik und Lagerhaltung vereinfacht wird, da unterschiedliche Becken in den gleichen Rahmen eingepreßt werden können, und daß die im Rahmen entstehende Absetzung zur Zentrierung von Zubehör verwendet werden kann.In summary, the present invention provides the Advantage that no post-treatment in the connection area it is necessary that logistics and warehousing be simplified is because different pools are in the same Frame can be pressed, and that the im Frame offset to center accessories can be used.
