Definitions

  • the invention refers to a household device with a casing made from pre-fabricated sheet metal wall panels, in particular a washing machine or dishwasher where the pre-fabricated sheet metal wall panels have latch openings applied, into which latching elements of a built-in device can be inserted from one side and latched, or latching elements of an attached device can be inserted from the other side and latched, in which the latching elements designed as latch springs at least partially reach around behind the locking ring opening with its locking area.
  • latch pick-up can be easily punched into and stamped in the sheet metal wall panel.
  • the latch rings with their latch areas and the additional installation levels with the ring shaped parts of the transition from the latches to the sheet metal wall panel allow latching depths greater than the thickness of the sheet metal wall panel simply through the offset. In this way, different latch depths can be prescribed by the offset which are solely obtained by the stamp.
  • the ring shaped parts can completely surround the latch opening; the installation level can also be formed by concentrically shaped sections arranged in a ring.
  • the offset on the sheet metal wall panel to increase the latch depth can be designed so that the latch ring and the ring shaped parts protrude on the inner side or outer side of the sheet metal wall panel.
  • the arrangement can be designed so that the latch rings and the ring shaped parts are placed on opposite sides of the sheet metal wall panel.
  • the built-in device and the attached device have an installation area on which the latching elements are formed.
  • the arrangement and alignment of the latching elements according to the design is carried out so that the latch elements have a carrier element, which on the end facing away from the built-in or attached device is a lock spring which is aligned to the installation area of the built-in or attached device and whose ends reach to the latch areas on the side away from the latch rings.
  • latch springs of the built-in and attached devices have latch steps on the outside of their ends which hold the latch rings, then the latch springs will brace themselves due to their own elasticity in the latch rings.
  • the latch connection between the built-in or attached device and the sheet metal wall panel can, on the one hand, be designed so that the built-in or attached device is fixed by means of several latch elements on the sheet metal wall panel and that the carrier elements are designed as carrier bars.
  • the design can also be achieved so that the built-in or attached device is fixed by means of a single latch element to the sheet metal wall panel and that the carrier element is designed as a socket.
  • the water connection is preferably designed so that on the inner side of the sheet metal wall panel, the built-in device has a valve with a connection for an inner hose which can be connected on the outer side of the sheet metal wall panel to a feed hose and that on the outer side of the sheet metal wall panel, the attached device has an aquastop adapter with a connection for an aquastop hose with a valve which can be connected to the inner side of the sheet metal wall panel using an inner hose.
  • FIGs 1 and 2 show sheet metal wall panel 10 which has a latch opening 13, as can be seen more clearly in section in Figure 5.
  • This latch opening 13 is surrounded by a latch ring 14 which lies with its latch area 15 on the inner side 11 and with its latch area 16 on the outer side 12 of the sheet metal wall panel 10.
  • the outer side 12 of the sheet metal wall panel 10 and the inner latch area 15 form a latch depth Rb for a fitting element 30 which can be inserted and latched from the outer side 12 of the sheet metal wall panel 10, as can be seen in Figures 2 and 5.
  • the transition from the latch ring 14 to the sheet metal wall panel 10 has a ring shaped part 17 which defines an installation level, 18 which protrudes above the inner side 11 of the sheet metal wall panel 10 and with the outermost latch area 16 of the latch ring 14 defines a latch depth Ra for a built-in device 20.
  • the built-in device 20 is inserted and latched from the inner side 11 of the sheet metal wall panel 10 to the latch opening 13, as can be seen in Figures 1 and 5.
  • the built-in device 20 and the attached device 30 only carry one latch element which consists of a carrier element 21 or 31 with latch springs 22 and 32 on the free end.
  • latch springs 22 and 23 are aligned to the sheet metal wall panel 10 and in the area of their free ends on the outer sides contain latch steps 23 and 33 which pick up the latch ring 14. In this way, part of the latch spring 22 and 32 penetrates into the latch opening 13 so that the latch springs 22 and 32 can be braced in the latch opening 13 due to their own elasticity.
  • the installation area of the built-in or attached devices 20 or 30 and the distance to the latch steps 23 and 33 of the latch springs 22 or 32 matches the latch depths Ra or Rb which are established by the distance of the latch area 16 of the latch ring 14 from the installation level 18 or by the distance of the latch area 15 of the latch ring 14 from the outer side 12 of the sheet metal wall panel 10.
  • the built-in device 20 and the attached device 30 can also be latched over several latch elements and latch openings of this type to the sheet metal wall panel 10.
  • the carrier elements 21 and 31 are arranged evenly distributed over the installation areas of the built-in device 20 and attached device 30 like the latch openings 13 in the sheet metal wall panel 10.
  • the stamping in the area of the latch opening 13 can be carried out so that the latch ring 14 and the ring shaped part 17 also protrudes as an additional installation level 18 on the outer side 12 of the sheet metal wall panel 10.
  • the built-in device 20 then lies on the inner side 11 of the sheet metal wall element 10 and not on the part 17, whilst the latching of the latch springs 21 to the outer latch area 16 of the latch ring 14 remains the same.
  • the attached device 30 lies on the installation level 18 of the part 17 whilst the latching of the latch springs 32 to the inner latch area 15 of the latch ring 14 remains the same.
  • the ring shaped part 17 of the transition from the latch ring 14 to the sheet metal wall panel 10 can enclose the latch opening 13 as a closed ring shaped installation level 18; it can also be designed with sections arranged concentrically.
  • the built-in device 20 and the attached device 30 can also only be fixed using a single latch connection to the sheet metal wall panel 10.
  • the carrier element 21 or 32 can be designed as a socket on whose outer extent the latch springs 22 or 32 are arranged.
  • a valve V is latched into a socket from the inner side of the rear wall.
  • an inner hose IS is attached to the valve.
  • the valve V is linked to the feed hose ZS on the outside of the casing, as shown in Figure 6.
  • an aquastop adapter ASt-Ad is latched into a latch opening in the rear wall, and the aquastop hose ASt is connected to the adapter ASt-Ad, as seen in Figure 7.
  • the aquastop hose ASt is equipped with a valve V on the free end of the connection.
  • An inner hose IS can be connected to the aquastop adapter ASt-Ad on the inner side of the rear wall.
