Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Tür für Haushaltgeräte nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a door for household appliances according to the preamble of the claim 1.

Aus dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster DE 88 10 959 ist eine Tür für Haushaltgeräte mit einem Sockelrücksprung bekannt, die um eine horizontale Achse schwenkbar ausgebildet und aus einer Innentür und einer Außentür schalenförmig aufgebaut ist. Durch einen ausziehbaren Türteil, der seitliche Befestigungsstreifen mit Lochreihen aufweist, gelingt eine künstliche Verlängerung der Tür, die somit auch ohne Anbringen einer Dekorplatte an die Höhe des Sockels von Küchenmöbeln oder weiteren Haushaltgeräten anpassbar ist.From the German utility model DE 88 10 959 is a door for household appliances a base recess known, which is pivotable about a horizontal axis and is built in a bowl shape from an inner door and an outer door. With an extendable Door part, which has lateral fastening strips with rows of holes, succeeds Artificial extension of the door, which is therefore also without attaching a decorative plate to the Height of the base of kitchen furniture or other household appliances is adjustable.

Bekanntlich weist die Innentür Mittel - die beispielsweise mit an dem Gerätegehäuse angebrachten Gegenhalterelementen zusammenwirken - auf, durch die die Tür vollständig und dicht zugehalten werden kann. Handelt es sich bei dem Haushaltgerät um eine Geschirrspülmaschine, so dient folglich die Innentür zum Schließen und Öffnen eines Spülbehälters, der mit vorzugsweise in einem oder mehreren Geschirrkörben eingeordnetem Spülgut bestückt ist.As is known, the inner door has means - which are attached, for example, to the device housing Counterholder elements work together - through which the door completely and can be kept tight. If the household appliance is a dishwasher, consequently the inner door is used to close and open a rinsing container, the one with preferably arranged in one or more crockery baskets Is loaded.

Die Außentür weist bekanntlich Mittel zur Bildung einer Gerätefrontseite auf, so dass sie im wesentlichen eine dekorative Funktion wahrnimmt. Im Falle der Geschirrspülmaschine übernimmt sie darüber hinaus auch eine Schutzfunktion für im Zwischenraum zwischen Innentür und Außentür angeordnete Einbauelemente, wie z.B. die im oberen Bereich der Gerätefrontseite in einem Blendenkasten befindlichen Bedien- und Anzeigeelemente sowie den Programmwahlschalter und das Programmsteuergerät, die elektrischen Kabel sowie Schall- und Wärmedämmmatten.As is known, the outer door has means for forming a device front, so that it essentially performs a decorative function. In the case of the dishwasher it also assumes a protective function for in between Fitting elements arranged on the inner door and outer door, e.g. the top of the Operating and display elements as well as in the front of the device in a panel box the program selector switch and the program control unit, the electrical cables as well as sound and thermal insulation mats.

In dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster 79 02 525 ist ein Haushaltgerät mit einer im oberen Bereich der Gerätefrontseite angeordneten Blende beschrieben, die durch an der unteren Randzone des Blendenkörpers angeordnete Lamellen an die Abmessungen von Schubladenblenden benachbarter Küchenmöbel anpassbar ist. Das Ausführungsbeispiel zeigt eine Geschirrspülmaschine, deren Maschinenfrontseite aus einer auf die Tür der Geschirrspülmaschine aufgesetzten Frontplatte und einer darunter angeordneten Verkleidungsplatte besteht, um das Aussehen der Geschirrspülmaschine in seiner Gesamtheit an das der benachbarten Küchenmöbel anzugleichen.In the German utility model 79 02 525 is a household appliance with one in the upper Area of the front of the device, described by the cover on the lower Edge zone of the panel body arranged slats to the dimensions of drawer panels neighboring kitchen furniture is customizable. The embodiment shows a dishwasher, the front of the machine from one on the door of the dishwasher attached front panel and a cladding panel arranged underneath consists of the appearance of the dishwasher in its entirety to match that of the neighboring kitchen furniture.

Oftmals ergibt sich die Notwendigkeit, das Haushaltgerät als teil- oder vollintegrierbares Gerät unmittelbar neben einer anderen Geräteart aufzustellen oder in eine für diese andere Geräteart vorgesehene Nische - beispielsweise als Hocheinbaugerät - einzubauen. Unterscheiden sich das integrierbare Haushaltgerät - z.B: eine Geschirrspülmaschine - und die andere Geräteart - z.B. ein Backofen - wesentlich in den Abmessungen ihrer Gerätefront, insbesondere der zugehörigen Türen, ist eine Anpassung über entsprechende Sockelhöhen der zu den Geräten gehörigen Gehäuse wegen der individuellen Gerätefronten unmöglich. Erschwerend kommt hinzu, dass die oben erwähnten unterschiedlichen Haushaltgeräte zu einer möglichst einheitlichen gesamten Geräte- und Möbelfront einzufügen sind.Often there is a need to make the household appliance partially or fully integrated Place the device next to another type of device or in one for this other Install the niche provided for the device - for example as a built-in device. Do the integrable household appliances differ - e.g. a dishwasher - and the other type of device - e.g. an oven - essentially in the dimensions of its front, especially the associated doors, is an adjustment via corresponding Base heights of the housings belonging to the devices due to the individual device fronts impossible. To make matters worse, the above mentioned different Insert household appliances to create a unit and furniture front that is as uniform as possible are.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Tür der eingangs beschriebenen Art so zu gestalten, dass die Gerätefront des integrierbaren Haushaltgeräts an die Gerätefront eines benachbarten Geräts anderer Geräteart angleichbar und gleichzeitig eine Anpassung an möbelspezifische Sockelhöhen gewährleistet ist.The invention is based on the object, a door of the type described above to design that the front of the integrable household appliance to the front of the device an adjacent device of another device type can be adapted and at the same time an adaptation on furniture-specific plinth heights is guaranteed.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 erfindungsgemäß gelöst. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of patent claim 1. Developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Die Kombination der entsprechend der Maße der anderen Gerätart verkürzten Außentür des integrierbaren Haushaltgeräts mit der auf der weitergehende Innentür angebrachten Verkleidung führt zu einem Einbaukonzept, das einerseits auf Grund der beliebig anpassbaren Außentür eine flexible und mit einfachen Mitteln erzielbare Angleichung von Gerätefronten unterschiedlicher Haushaltgeräte leistet und andererseits wegen der Verkleidung auch die flexible Anpassung an möbelspezifische Sockelhöhen zusätzlich sicherstellt. Dabei braucht in vorteilhafter Weise die gemäß dem Gegenstand der Erfindung gestaltete Tür in ihren Gesamtabmessungen nicht verändert zu werden, was zur Folge hat, dass damit auch die Größe der von der Tür verschließbare Öffnung des Haushaltgeräts - z.B. der Spülbehälter einer Geschirrspülmaschine - nicht kleiner wird. The combination of the outer door shortened according to the dimensions of the other device type of the integrable household appliance with the one attached to the wider interior door Cladding leads to an installation concept that, on the one hand, is customizable due to the fact that it can be customized Outside door a flexible adjustment of device fronts that can be achieved with simple means different household appliances and on the other hand because of the paneling also ensures flexible adaptation to furniture-specific plinth heights. In an advantageous manner, the need according to the subject of the invention designed door to be changed in their overall dimensions, which results has the same size as the opening of the household appliance that can be closed by the door - e.g. the dishwashing container of a dishwasher - doesn't get smaller.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der erfindungsgemäß gestalteten Tür besteht darin, dass durch die flexible und individuelle Angleichung an die Gerätefront anderer Gerätearten bei gleichzeitiger Beibehaltung der Möglichkeit einer Sockelhöhenanpassung eine einheitliche Gerätefront bei Bedarf erzielbar ist.Another advantage of the door designed according to the invention is that the flexible and individual adaptation to the device front of other device types with simultaneous Maintaining the possibility of a base height adjustment a uniform device front can be achieved if necessary.

Dabei hat es sich gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung als günstig erwiesen, wenn als Verkleidung eine dem Original einer für die andere Geräteart verwendeten Blende entsprechende Blende an dem verbleibenden Türteil der Innentür angebracht ist. Dadurch ergibt sich eine möglichst einheitliche Geräte- und Möbelfront. Dabei weisen die Verkleidung und die Blende vorzugsweise jeweils ein mit dem Muster der Möbelfront identisches Muster auf.According to a development of the invention, it has proven to be advantageous if as a cladding the original of a panel used for the other device type appropriate cover is attached to the remaining door part of the inner door. Thereby the device and furniture front are as uniform as possible. In doing so, the cladding and the panel preferably each identical to the pattern of the furniture front Pattern on.

Gemäß einer alternativen Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist als Verkleidung eine höhenanpassbare variable Blende an dem verbleibenden Türteil der Innentür angebracht. Die variable Blende bildet somit einen Ersatz für die Blende, wenn diese nicht zur Verfügung steht oder auf die einheitliche Möbelfront kein Wert gelegt wird, sondern die Erzeugung einer Variabilität durch eine einzige Blende gewünscht ist. Der besondere Vorteil dieser Blende besteht nämlich darin, dass sie als Einzelblende eine Anpassung der Verkleidung an unterschiedliche Höhen, die beispielsweise aus verschiedenen Sockelhöhen resultieren, auf einfache aber effektive Weise ermöglicht.According to an alternative development of the invention, a height-adjustable panel is used variable cover attached to the remaining door part of the inner door. The variable Aperture thus replaces the aperture when it is not available stands or no value is placed on the uniform furniture front, but the production variability through a single aperture is desired. The particular advantage of this Aperture consists in the fact that as a single panel, it adjusts the cladding to different heights, which result, for example, from different base heights, in a simple but effective way.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die variable Blende aus mehreren Leisten unterschiedlicher oder gleicher Höhe aufgebaut. Damit kann je nach Bedarf die Variabilität der Blende an unterschiedlichste Bedingungen hergestellt werden. Am besten geeignet sind dabei die aus Kunststoff hergestellten Leisten.According to a preferred embodiment, the variable diaphragm consists of several strips different or the same height. This allows variability as needed the cover can be manufactured in a wide variety of conditions. Most suitable are the strips made of plastic.

Als vorteilhaft hat sich erwiesen, wenn der verbleibende Türteil der Innentür ein Befestigungsblech zum lösbaren Anbringen der Verkleidung aufweist. Damit kann die Verkleidung, insbesondere bei Verwendung verschiedener Arten von Möbel- oder Varioblenden jederzeit befestigt und wieder entfernt werden. Eine bevorzugte, weil sichere und schnelle lösbare Verbindung besteht darin, die Verkleidung an dem Befestigungsblech anzuschrauben oder - beispielsweise in entsprechende Rastlöcher - einzustecken. It has proven to be advantageous if the remaining door part of the inner door has a fastening plate for releasably attaching the panel. So the cladding, especially when using different types of furniture or vario panels can be attached and removed at any time. A preferred because safe and quick Detachable connection is to screw the panel to the mounting plate or - for example in appropriate locking holes - to insert.

Figur 1 zeigt am Beispiel einer nicht näher beschriebenen Geschirrspülmaschine 1 ein in eine üblicherweise mit weiteren Haushaltgeräten und Möbeln ausgestattete, nicht näher dargestellte Küchenmöbelfront integrierbares Haushaltgerät. Die Geschirrspülmaschine 1 weist bekanntlich an ihrer Gerätefrontseite eine um eine horizontale Achse schwenkbare Tür 3 auf. Die Tür 3 dient zum Schließen und Öffnen eines mit zumindest einem nicht gezeigten Geschirrkorb für die Aufnahme von Spülgut versehenen, möglichst großzügig bemessenen, nicht näher dargestellten Spülbehälters. Damit ist der Wunsch nach einer möglichst großen Tür 3 verbunden. Zum Öffnen und Schließen ist an der Tür 3 im oberen Türbereich ein Griff 4 angebracht, der je nach Geräteart unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein kann. In dem in Figur 1 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Griff 4 als Griffbügel gestaltet.FIG. 1 shows an example of a dishwasher 1 (not described in more detail) a usually equipped with other household appliances and furniture, not closer illustrated kitchen furniture front integrable household appliance. The dishwasher 1 has, as is well known, on its front side of a device pivotable about a horizontal axis Door 3 open. The door 3 is not used to close and open one with at least one Dish rack shown for receiving items to be washed, as generously as possible dimensioned, not shown rinsing container. So the desire for one largest possible door 3 connected. To open and close door 3 in the upper Door area attached a handle 4, which are designed differently depending on the type of device can. In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the handle 4 is as a handle designed.

Bezüglich des prinzipiellen Aufbaues der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 sei auf das DE-GM 88 10 959 verwiesen, das auch den schalenartigen Aufbau der Tür aus einer Innentür mit einem Innentürblech und einer Außentür mit einem Außentürblech zeigt und beschreibt. Die Innentür verfügt dabei über Mittel zum Schließen der Tür 3, die vorzugsweise mit an dem Gerätegehäuse angebrachten Gegenhalterelementen zusammenwirken, damit die Tür 3 vollständig und dicht zugehalten werden kann. Die Außentür weist Mittel zur Bildung der Gerätefrontseite auf, so dass sie im wesentlichen eine dekorative Funktion wahrnimmt. Im Falle der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 übernimmt sie darüber hinaus auch eine Schutzfunktion für im Zwischenraum zwischen Innentür und Außentür angeordnete Einbauelemente. Die Außentür ist etwa so lang wie die Innentür. With regard to the basic structure of the dishwasher 1, reference is made to DE-GM 88 10 959, which also includes the shell-like structure of the door from an inner door shows and describes an inner door panel and an outer door with an outer door panel. The inner door has means for closing the door 3, preferably with the counter-holder elements attached to the device housing work together so that the Door 3 can be closed completely and tightly. The outside door has funds for education on the front of the device so that it essentially performs a decorative function. In the case of the dishwasher 1, it also takes over one Protective function for built-in elements arranged in the space between the inner door and outer door. The outer door is about as long as the inner door.

Die Tür 3 gemäß dem Gegenstand der Erfindung ist derart gestaltet, dass ihre Außentür 5 im Vergleich zu ihrer übliche Länge (siehe DE-GM 88 10 959) entsprechend den Abmessungen der Gerätefront eines benachbarten Haushaltgeräts anderer Geräteart - beispielsweise eines Backofens 2 gemäß Figur 2 - gekürzt ist. Durch die Verkürzung lediglich der Außentür 5 und nicht der gesamten Tür 3 lässt sich einerseits die Gerätefront der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 an die Gerätefront des Backofens 2 genau anpassen - was zu einer optimalen Optik der Gesamtgerätefront führt - und gleichzeitig andererseits die Einfüllöffnung des Spülbehälters in ihrer Größe beibehalten. Letzteres ist bei einer Änderung des Einbaukonzepts nach der Erfindung für eine möglichst große Menge an einzuräumendem Spülgut sowie für die Bequemlichkeit der Befüllung des Spülbehälters mit Spülgut besonders wichtig. An dem über die verkürzte Außentür 5 hinausreichenden Türteil 6 der Innentür ist eine Verkleidung 7 - vorzugsweise lösbar - anzubringen. Um die optimale Optik der Gesamtgerätefront zu erhalten, entspricht die Verkleidung 7 in ihren Abmessungen einer für die andere Geräteart - beispielsweise den Backofen 2 gemäß Figur 2 - einsetzbaren Blende. Durch die in Fig. 1 mit gestrichelten Linien angedeutete Verkleidung 7 bleibt die Möglichkeit der Anpassung an prinzipiell beliebige küchenspezifische Sockelhöhen gewährleistet.The door 3 according to the subject matter of the invention is designed such that its outer door 5 compared to their usual length (see DE-GM 88 10 959) according to the dimensions the front of a neighboring household appliance of another type - for example of an oven 2 according to Figure 2 - is shortened. By shortening only the outer door 5 and not the entire door 3, on the one hand, the front of the dishwasher 1 exactly match the front of the oven 2 - what a leads to the optimal appearance of the entire device front - and at the same time the filling opening maintain the size of the washing compartment. The latter is when the Installation concept according to the invention for as large an amount as possible Washware as well as for the convenience of filling the washing compartment with washware important. On the door part 6 of the inner door that extends beyond the shortened outer door 5 is a panel 7 - preferably detachable - to attach. For the optimal look To obtain the overall front of the device, the panel 7 corresponds in its dimensions one for the other type of appliance - for example the oven 2 according to FIG. 2 - can be used Cover. By the panel 7 indicated with dashed lines in FIG. 1 there remains the possibility of adaptation to basically any kitchen-specific plinth heights guaranteed.

Als Verkleidung 7 wird im bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel eine dem Original einer für den Backofen verwendeten Blende - siehe den Backofen 2 der Figur 2 mit einem sogenannten "Herdbrett" 13 - entsprechende Blende 8, an dem verbleibenden Türteil 6 der Innentür angebracht, wobei Blende 8 bzw. Verkleidung 7 vorzugsweise jeweils ein identisches Muster wie die Türen bzw. Schubläden der Küchenmöbel aufweisen. Dadurch ergibt sich eine für eine optimale Optik einheitliche Geräte- und Möbelfront. In der Praxis kann also ein zweites Herdbrett 13 an der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 angebracht werden.In the preferred embodiment, the covering 7 is one for the original the baffle used - see the oven 2 of Figure 2 with a so-called "Stove board" 13 - corresponding panel 8, on the remaining door part 6 of the Inner door attached, the panel 8 or panel 7 preferably each being identical Have patterns like the doors or drawers of the kitchen furniture. This gives a uniform device and furniture front for an optimal look. In practice So a second stove 13 can be attached to the dishwasher 1.

Gemäß dem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel ist als Verkleidung 7 eine in Figur 1 dargestellte, höhenanpassbare variable Blende 9 an dem verbleibenden Türteil 6 der Innentür lösbar befestigt. Die variable Blende 9 kann einen Ersatz für die Blende 8 bilden, wenn diese nicht zur Verfügung steht oder eine Anpassung an die Optik einer Geräte- und Möbelfront nicht notwendig ist. Der besondere Vorteil der variablen Blende 9 besteht jedoch darin, dass sie eine Anpassung der Verkleidung 7 an unterschiedliche Höhen, die beispielsweise aus verschiedenen Sockelhöhen resultieren, auf einfache aber effektive Weise ermöglicht. According to the further exemplary embodiment, a covering 7 shown in FIG. height-adjustable variable screen 9 on the remaining door part 6 of the inner door releasably attached. The variable aperture 9 can form a replacement for the aperture 8, if this is not available or an adaptation to the look of a device and furniture front is not necessary. The particular advantage of the variable aperture 9 is, however in that they adapt the cladding 7 to different heights, for example result from different base heights, in a simple but effective way allows.

Die variable Blende 9 kann aus mehreren einzelnen Leisten 10 unterschiedlicher oder gleicher Höhe aufgebaut sein. Damit ist eine flexible Angleichung an unterschiedlichste Anforderungen an die Abmessungen der variablen Blende erzielbar. Am besten geeignet sind dabei aus Kunststoff hergestellte Leisten 10.The variable aperture 9 can be made of several individual strips 10 different or be built at the same height. This is a flexible adjustment to different Requirements for the dimensions of the variable aperture can be achieved. Most suitable are strips 10 made of plastic.
