Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Haushaltsgerät, insbesondere eine Geschirrspülmaschine, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a domestic appliance, in particular a dishwasher, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein solches Haushaltsgerät wird in der Regel in einer Küchenzeile eingebaut. Damit es sich optisch in die Front der Küchenweile einreiht, ist es üblich, an das Gerät eine Vorsatzplatte, die im Design der Möbelfront gestaltet ist, frontseitig anzusetzen. Insbesondere bei einer Haushalts-Ges.chirrspülmaschine wird diese Vorsatzplatte an eine horizontal verschwenkbare Beschickungstüre angekoppelt. Um die Vorsatzplatte an der Beschickungstüre zu befestigen, sind Befestigungselemente vorgesehen.Such a household appliance is usually installed in a kitchenette. So that it fits optically into the front of the kitchen, it is customary to attach to the device a front plate, which is designed in the design of the furniture front, front side. In particular, in a household Ges.chirrspülmaschine this attachment plate is coupled to a horizontally pivoting loading door. To attach the header plate to the loading door, fasteners are provided.

Bei der Montage der Vorsatzplatte an der Gerätetür ist es problematisch, dass wegen eines nicht vernachlässigbaren Gewichtes der Vorsatzplatte ein direkter Anbau an die Gerätetür insbesondere bei einer einzelnen Montageperson nicht möglich ist. Es sind daher bereits Lösungsvorschläge unterbreitet worden, die einer Einzelperson eine solche Montage ermöglichen. Diese sind jedoch in der Regel besonders zeitaufwendig oder führen nicht zu einem zufriedenstellenden Einbauergebnis.When mounting the attachment plate on the door, it is problematic that because of a not negligible weight of the attachment plate direct attachment to the door, especially for a single installation person is not possible. Therefore, proposals for solutions have already been made which allow such an assembly to an individual. However, these are usually very time consuming or do not lead to a satisfactory paving result.

Insbesondere sind Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschinen bekannt, bei denen die Gerätetür neben einem Türinnenblech ein von diesem abnehmbares Türaußenblech umfaßt, an welches der Anbau der Vorsatzplatte zu erfolgen hat. Für die Montage ist zunächst das Türaußenblech abzunehmen und im abgenommenen Zustand mit der Vorsatzplatte zu verschrauben, wobei die Verbindungsstellen an der Vorsatzplatte mit Hilfe einer Montageschablone vorher zu ermitteln sind. Nach erfolgter Kopplung von Vorsatzplatte und Türaußenblech wird diese Einheit wieder durch Wiederherstellen der Schraubverbindungen zwischen Innen- und Außentürblech am Gerät angeschraubt. Ist wegen einer ungenauen Montage eine Korrektur der Ausrichtung der Vorsatzplatte notwendig, so muß dazu die gesamte Einheit zunächst wieder abgenommen werden.In particular, household dishwashers are known in which the door next to a door inner panel comprises a removable from this door outer panel to which the attachment of the attachment plate has to be made. For mounting, the outer door panel must first be removed and screwed with the attachment plate in the removed state, whereby the connection points on the attachment plate must be determined beforehand using a mounting template. After the coupling of front panel and outer door panel, this unit is screwed back by restoring the screw between inner and outer door panel on the device. If a correction of the alignment of the attachment plate is necessary because of an inaccurate assembly, the entire unit must first be removed again for this purpose.

Aus der DE 93 13 205 U ist ein Vorsatzplatten-Ausgleich für Haushalt-Einbaugeräte mit einer Fronttür bekannt, wobei die Vorsatzplatte zunächst mittels Klemmfedern in untere Aussparungen der Fronttür eingehängt und dann einrast- und verspannbare Gegenstücke der Vorsatzplatte in oben liegend angeordnete .Klemmelemente der Fronttür eingerastet werden.From the DE 93 13 205 U is a Vorsatzplatten compensation for household appliances with a front door known, the attachment plate is first hung by means of clamping springs in lower recesses of the front door and then snap-in and clampable counterparts of the header plate in top lying .Klemmelemente the front door locked.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Haushaltsgerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 anzugeben, bei dem eine leichte, schnelle und sichere Montage der Vorsatzplatte auch durch eine einzelne Montageperson ermöglicht ist.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a household appliance according to the preamble of claim 1, in which an easy, fast and secure mounting of the attachment plate is also made possible by a single installation person.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt bei einem solchen Haushaltsgerät gemäß der Erfindung durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1.The solution of this object is achieved in such a household appliance according to the invention by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Dadurch, dass bei einem Haushaltsgerät mit einer frontseitigen Gerätetür, an welcher eine Vorsatzplatte mittels Befestigungselementen ankoppelbar ist, die Vorsatzplatte zuerst mittels Vorfixierelementen an der Gerätetür ansetzbar und anschließend mit den Befestigungselementen endgültig an der Gerätetür befestigbar ist, wobei die Vorfixierelemente Schrauben sind, die an in der Gerätetür angeordneten Schlüssellöchern einfädelbar sind, ist eine leichte, schnelle und sichere Montage der Vorsatzplatte ermöglicht.Characterized in that in a household appliance with a front door, on which a header plate by means of fasteners can be coupled, the attachment plate is first attachable by Vorfixierelementen on the door and then with the fasteners finally fastened to the door, the Vorfixierelemente are screws that can be threaded on arranged in the door keyholes, is easy, fast and secure mounting the attachment plate allows.

Um die Kosten dieser Befestigungsart besonders niedrig zu halten, sind die Befestigungselemente vorzugsweise handelsübliche Schrauben, die durch Bohrungen an der Gerätetür hindurchführbar und in die Vorsatzplatte eindrehbar sind. Hierbei eignen sich besonders Schnellbauschrauben, bei denen unter Umständen auf ein vorheriges Bohren von Kernlöchern verzichtet werden kann.In order to keep the cost of this type of fastening particularly low, the fasteners are preferably commercially available screws that can be passed through holes on the door and screwed into the attachment plate. Particularly suitable are drywall screws, which may possibly require the prior drilling of core holes.

Eine Möglichkeit zur Minimierung der Kosten erhält man dadurch, dass erfindungsgemäß als Vorfixierelemente Schrauben, insbesondere handelsübliche Schrauben, zum Einsatz kommen. Diese können auf besonders einfache Weise zunächst in die Vorsatzplatte teilweise eindrehbar sein und sind in Schlüssellöchern an der Gerätetür einfädelbar. Die Schlüssellöcher können dabei so gestaltet sein, dass sie in einem oberen Bereich eine Bohrung mit einem Durchmesser, der mindestens dem Durchmesser des einzufädelnden Schraubenkopfes entspricht, und in einem unteren Bereich ein wenigstens annähernd senkrecht geführtes Langloch aufweisen. Die Breite des Langloches ist dabei so kleiner als der Durchmesser des eingefädelten Schraubenkopfes.One way of minimizing costs is obtained by using screws, in particular commercially available screws, as prefixing elements according to the invention. These can be partially screwed into the attachment plate in a particularly simple manner and can be threaded into keyholes on the appliance door. The keyholes can be designed so that they have in an upper region a bore with a diameter which corresponds at least to the diameter of the screwed head screw, and in a lower region at least approximately vertically guided slot. The width of the elongated hole is so smaller than the diameter of the threaded screw head.

Werden die Vorfixierschrauben zusätzlich als Befestigungselemente verwendet, so kann auch die Anzahl der Befestigungselemente gering gehalten werden. In diesem Fall werden die Vorfixierschrauben zunächst zur Ausrichtung der Vorsatzplatte verwendet, wenn dann die endgültige Einbaulage gefunden ist, können die Vorfixierschrauben als Befestigungsschrauben endgültig festgezogen und die weiteren Befestigungselemente eingesetzt werden.If the prefixing screws are additionally used as fastening elements, the number of fastening elements can also be kept small. In this case, the prefixing screws are first used to align the header plate, if then the final installation position is found, the Vorfixierschrauben finally tightened as mounting screws and the other fasteners are used.

Erfolgt der Einbau der vorsatzplatte in deren senkrechter Ausrichtung, so erfolgt die vorfixierung durch Einfädeln der Vorfixierschrauben in die Schlüssellöcher an der Gerätetür und Abstützen dieser Schrauben auf dem unteren Rand der Schlüssellöcher. Um hierbei schon eine ziemlich genaue Ausrichtung der Vorsatzplatte zu haben, ist es günstig, die Position der Vorfixierschrauben durch eine Einbauschablone zu bestimmen.If the installation of the header plate in their vertical orientation, the prefixing is done by threading the Vorfixierschrauben in the keyholes on the door and supporting these screws on the lower edge of the keyholes. In order to already have a fairly accurate orientation of the attachment plate, it is advantageous to determine the position of Vorfixierschrauben by a template.

Insbesondere bei Geschirrspülmaschinen ist jedoch ein Einbau der Vorsatzplatte in deren annähernd waagrechter Ausrichtung aus Gründen der Praktikabilität vorzuziehen. Dabei werden die Vorfixierschrauben in die Schlüssellöcher bei einer anfänglichen senkrecht ausgerichteten, also geschlossenen Beschickungstüre eingefädelt. Nach einem anschließenden Öffnen der Türe durch Überführen in eine waagrechte Ausrichtung hängt die Vorsatzplatte an der Beschickungstüre. Nun kann die Vorsatzplatte mit vorzugsweise handelsüblichen Schrauben von oben durch Bohrungen an der Gerätetür hindurch angeschraubt werden.In particular, in dishwashers, however, an installation of the front plate in their approximately horizontal orientation is preferable for reasons of practicability. The Vorfixierschrauben be threaded into the keyholes at an initial vertically oriented, so closed loading door. After a subsequent opening of the door by transferring it to a horizontal orientation, the attachment plate hangs on the loading door. Now, the header plate can be screwed with preferably commercially available screws from above through holes in the appliance door.

Üblicherweise werden die Vorfixierschrauben, selbst bei Verwendung einer Einbauschablone, bei der Montage nicht exakt passend in die Vorsatzplatte eingedreht. Daher ist es in der Regel erforderlich, dass die Vorsatzplatte nach dem Einfädeln der Vorfixierschrauben in die Schlüssellöcher erst ausgerichtet werden muss. Für diesen Fall ist die Vorsatzplatte nach dem Einfädeln der Vorfixierschrauben in die Schlüssellöcher zunächst vorläufig in diesen festschraubbar, so dass die Ausrichtung der Vorsatzplatte überprüft werden kann. Wird festgestellt, dass die endgültige Lage noch nicht eingestellt ist, so können die Vorfixierschrauben wieder gelöst werden, so dass sie innerhalb der Langlochabschnitte der Schlüssellöcher zur Korrektur der Ausrichtung der Vorsatzplatte verschiebbar sind. Nach einem Wiederfestziehen der Vorfixierschrauben ist die Vorsatzplatte in ihrer endgültigen Lage vorfixiert. Auf diese Weise kann eine optimale Ausrichtung, ggf. durch mehrmaliges Wiederholen des vorstehend beschriebenen Ausrichtvorgangs, erfolgen.Usually, the Vorfixierschrauben, even when using a mounting template, not screwed exactly fitting in the attachment plate during assembly. Therefore, it is usually necessary that the attachment plate after the threading of Vorfixierschrauben must be aligned in the keyholes first. In this case, after the threading of the prefixing screws into the keyholes, the attachment plate is first provisionally screwed into them, so that the alignment of the attachment plate can be checked. If it is determined that the final position has not yet been set, the prefixing screws can be released again so that they are displaceable within the slot sections of the keyholes for correcting the alignment of the attachment plate. After re-tightening the Vorfixierschrauben the intent plate is prefixed in its final position. In this way, an optimal alignment, possibly by repeated repeating the alignment process described above, take place.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand der Zeichnung eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Dabei zeigt die einzige Figur eine Beschickungstüre einer Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine sowie eine daran zu befestigende Vorsatzplatte im nicht angebauten Zustand.The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing of an embodiment. The single figure shows a loading door of a household dishwasher and attached to it attachment plate in the unassembled state.

Eine nicht näher dargestellte Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine wird frontseitig durch eine Beschickungstüre 1 abgeschlossen. Diese Beschickungstüre 1 ist an der Geschirrspülmaschine schwenkbeweglich gelagert, wobei sich die waagrechte Schwenkachse 3 am unteren Rand der Beschickungstüre 1 befindet. In ihrer senkrechten Lage verschließt die Beschickungstüre 1 eine Einfüllöffnung der Geschirrspülmaschine. Nach dem Öffnen der Türe 1 durch Aufschwenken in eine waagrechte Lage ist das Be- und Endladen der Geschirrspülmaschine ermöglicht.A domestic dishwasher, not shown, is closed at the front by a loading door 1. This loading door 1 is pivotally mounted on the dishwasher, wherein the horizontal pivot axis 3 is located at the bottom of the loading door 1. In its vertical position, the loading door 1 closes a filling opening of the dishwasher. After opening the door 1 by swinging it into a horizontal position loading and unloading the dishwasher is possible.

Die Beschickungstüre 1 weist an ihrem oberen Rand eine Bedienblende 5 auf, an der nicht dargestellte Bedien- und Anzeigeelemente zum Einstellen eines Spülprogrammes angeordnet sind. Au-ßerdem umfaßt die Bedienblende 5 ein ebenfalls nicht gezeigtes Türschloss zum Verschließen sowie eine Eingriffsöffnung zum Öffnen der Türe 1.The loading door 1 has at its upper edge on a control panel 5, are arranged on the not shown control and display elements for setting a wash program. In addition, the control panel 5 includes a door lock, also not shown, for locking and an engagement opening for opening the door 1.

Damit sich die Geschirrspülmaschine nach einem Einbau in eine Küchenzeile optisch darin einfügt, kann eine Vorsatzplatte 7 an der Beschickungstüre 1 unterhalb der Bedienblende 5 angesetzt werden. Zu diesem Zweck sind an der Beschickungstüre 1 vier Durchgangslöcher 9 vorgesehen, durch die handelsübliche Befestigungsschrauben hindurchgeführt und in die Vorsatzplatte 7 eingedreht werden können, so dass auf diese Weise die Beschickungstüre 1 und die Vorsatzplatte 7 miteinander verschraubt sind.So that the dishwasher visually fits into it after installation in a kitchenette, a front plate 7 can be attached to the loading door 1 below the control panel 5. For this purpose, four through holes 9 are provided on the loading door 1, can be passed through the commercially available fastening screws and screwed into the attachment plate 7, so that in this way the loading door 1 and the attachment plate 7 are screwed together.

Für eine möglichst leichte Montage, die auch von einer Einzelperson durchgeführt werden kann, ist im Bereich der unteren beiden Durchgangslöcher 9 je ein Schlüsselloch 11 auf jeweils einer Seitenkante der Beschickungstüre 1 angeordnet. Diese Schlüssellöcher 11 haben in ihrem oberen Bereich eine Bohrung, die einen Durchmesser hat, der geringfügig größer ist als der Kopfdurchmesser einer handelsüblichen Schraube 13, und in ihrem unteren Bereich ein Langloch, dessen Breite geringfügig größer ist als der Gewindedurchmesser der Schraube 13.For the simplest possible installation, which can also be performed by an individual, a keyhole 11 is arranged in each case on one side edge of the loading door 1 in the region of the lower two through holes 9. These keyholes 11 have in their upper portion a bore which has a diameter which is slightly larger than the head diameter of a commercially available screw 13, and in its lower region a slot whose width is slightly larger than the thread diameter of the screw thirteenth

Die Schrauben 13 werden an entsprechenden Positionen an der Vorsatzplatte 7 soweit eingedreht, dass zwischen dem Schraubenkopf und der Eindrehoberfläche der Vorsatzplatte 7 ein Abstand vorliegt, der geringfügig größer als die Blechdicke der blechförmigen, doppelwandigen Beschickungstüre 1 ist. Die genauen Positionen der Schraubstellen auf der Vorsatzplatte 7 werden mit Hilfe einer der Geschirrspülmaschine beigefügten Montageschablone ermittelt. Je nach Art oder Materialzusammensetzung der Vorsatzplatte 7 kann eine vorherige Kernlochbohrung erforderlich sein.The screws 13 are screwed in at appropriate positions on the attachment plate 7 so far that between the screw head and the screwing of the attachment plate 7 is a distance which is slightly larger than the sheet thickness of the sheet-shaped, double-walled loading door 1. The exact positions of the screw points on the attachment plate 7 are determined by means of an assembly template attached to the dishwasher. Depending on the type or material composition of the attachment plate 7, a previous core hole may be required.

Anschließend wird die Vorsatzplatte 7 an der Beschickungstüre 1 provisorisch angekoppelt, indem bei geschlossener Türe 1, also in deren senkrechter Lage, die Schraubenköpfe der Schrauben 13 in die Bohrungen der Schlüssellöcher 11 eintaucht und in deren Langlochbereiche eingeschoben werden, bis die Schraubengewinde am unteren Rand der Schlüssellöcher 11 zum Aufliegen kommen. Dann wird die Ausrichtung der Vorsatzplatte 7 im Vergleich zu den benachbarten Möbeltüren überprüft und die Schrauben 13 festgedreht. Zu diesem Zweck ist an der der Geräteinnenseite zugewandten Wand der doppelwandigen Beschickungstüre 1 ein Durchgriff zur Durchführung eines Schraubenziehers vorgesehen. Diese Durchgriffe werden am Ende der Montage mit Abdeckungen versehen, um ein Eindringen von Schmutz in den Innenbereich der Beschickungstüre 1 zu vermeiden.Subsequently, the attachment plate 7 is provisionally coupled to the loading door 1 by the screw heads of the screws 13 immersed in the holes of the key holes 11 and are inserted into the slot areas with the door closed 1, ie in its vertical position until the screw thread at the bottom of the Keyholes 11 come to rest. Then the orientation of the attachment plate 7 is checked in comparison to the adjacent furniture doors and the screws 13 tightened. For this purpose, a passage for the implementation of a screwdriver is provided on the inside of the device facing wall of the double-walled loading door 1. These passages are provided at the end of the assembly with covers to prevent ingress of dirt into the interior of the loading door 1.

Nach einer erneuten Prüfung auf eine korrekte Ausrichtung und ggf. einer entsprechenden Nachjustierung wird die Beschickungstüre 1 aufgeschwenkt und die Vorsatzplatte 7 mittels Befestigungsschrauben durch die Durchgangslöcher 9 hindurch endgültig fixiert. Auch hier kann es erforderlich sein, dass zunächst Kernlochbohrungen gesetzt werden müssen.After rechecking for correct alignment and, if necessary, a corresponding readjustment, the loading door 1 is swung open and the attachment plate 7 is finally fixed by fastening screws through the through holes 9. Again, it may be necessary that first core holes must be set.

Eine erste Ausführungsabwandlung sieht vor, dass die Vorfixierschrauben 13 die Funktion der unteren beiden Befestigungsschrauben übernehmen, so dass diese unteren Befestigungsschrauben und damit auch die unteren beiden Durchgangslöcher 9 entfallen können. Diese Ausführungsform stellt eine besonders kostengünstige Variante dar.A first embodiment variant provides that the prefixing screws 13 take over the function of the lower two fastening screws, so that these lower fastening screws and thus also the lower two through holes 9 can be dispensed with. This embodiment represents a particularly cost-effective variant.

Eine weitere Ausgestaltungsalternative besteht darin, dass die eingefädelten Vorfixierschrauben nicht festgedreht werden, wodurch die entsprechenden Durchführungen am Türinnenblech entbehrlich sind. Dann dienen die Vorfixierschrauben 13 nur als reine Montagehilfe und es sind deshalb vier separate Befestigungsschrauben erforderlich. Nach dem Einfädeln dieser Montagehilfsschrauben 13 und dem Öffnen der Beschickungstüre 1 hängt die Vorsatzplatte 7 lediglich an den Montagehilfsschrauben 13 und muss zusätzlich im oberen Bereich für die weiteren Montageschritte mit einer Hand gehalten werden, um nicht zu verrutschen. Diese Alternative ist zwar etwas unsicherer bezüglich einer exakten Ausrichtung der Vorsatzplatte 7, da aber am Türinnenblech nur die Durchgangslöcher 9 vorzusehen sind, welche nach der Montage der Vorsatzplatte 7 durch die Köpfe der Befestigungsschrauben abgedeckt sind, ist diese Ausgestaltung die optisch günstigere Variante.Another design alternative is that the threaded Vorfixierschrauben are not tightened, making the corresponding openings on the inner door panel dispensable are. Then the Vorfixierschrauben 13 serve only as a pure mounting aid and therefore four separate mounting screws are required. After threading this mounting auxiliary screws 13 and the opening of the loading door 1, the attachment plate 7 depends only on the mounting auxiliary screws 13 and must also be held in the upper area for further assembly steps with one hand so as not to slip. Although this alternative is somewhat uncertain with respect to an exact alignment of the attachment plate 7, but since only the through holes 9 are provided on the inner door panel, which are covered by the heads of the mounting screws after mounting the attachment plate 7, this embodiment is the optically more favorable variant.
