Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung mit einer Einspülschale zum Einschieben in ein oder Herausziehen aus einem Aufnahmegehäuse, das hinter einer Einschuböffnung einer Waschmaschine angeordnet ist, und mit ersten linearen Führungsmitteln hinsichtlich eines ersten Freiheitsgrads quer zur Bewegungsrichtung der Einspülschale in ihrem Randbereich und mit zweiten linearen Führungsmitteln hinsichtlich eines zweiten Freiheitsgrads quer zur Bewegungsrichtung der Einspülschale im Zentralbereich zum Führen der Einspülschale im Aufnahmegehäuse.The present invention relates to a Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung with a Einspülschale for insertion into or withdrawal from a receiving housing, which is arranged behind an insertion opening of a washing machine, and with first linear guide means with respect to a first degree of freedom transverse to the direction of the Einspülschale in its edge region and with second linear guide means with respect to a second degree of freedom transverse to the direction of movement of the dispenser tray in the central area for guiding the dispenser tray in the receiving housing.
Einspülschalen für Waschmaschinen sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt. Solche Einspülschalen dienen zur Aufnahme von Waschmittel, welches pulverförmig oder flüssig sein kann. Das Waschmittel wird vor oder während des Waschvorgangs in die Einspülschale gegeben und von dort mittels Zufuhr von Frischwasser in den Laugenbehälter der Waschmaschine eingespült. Typischerweise ist eine Einspülschale in mehrere Kammern durch Trennwände unterteilt, wobei die Kammern z. B. zur Aufnahme von Waschmittel für den Vorwasch- und Hauptwaschgang bzw. für den Weichspüler vorgesehen sind.Dishwashing dishes for washing machines are known from the prior art. Such Einspülschalen serve to receive detergent, which may be powdery or liquid. The detergent is added before or during the washing process in the dispenser tray and rinsed from there by means of supply of fresh water in the tub of the washing machine. Typically, a Einspülschale is divided into several chambers by partitions, wherein the chambers z. B. are provided for receiving detergent for the pre-wash and main wash or for the fabric softener.
Eine eingangs beschriebene Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung ist aus DE 89 07 905 U1 bekannt. Darin sind mehrere Führungsmittel seitlich und am Boden der Einspülschale angeordnet, wobei die zusätzlichen Führungselemente am Boden der Einspülschale in einer völlig anderen Ebene liegen als die seitlichen Führungsmittel. Daraus entsteht zwischen diesen zusätzlichen Führungselementen und den seitlich an der Einspülschale angeordneten Führungselementen ein weiteres Verkantungsmoment, das wegen seiner Winkelstellung schräg zur Horizontalen durch keine noch so große Genauigkeit der Führungen verhindert werden kann. Außerdem sind die Führungsaufgaben zwischen den einzelnen Führungselement-Paaren nicht klar genug definiert, so dass bei Fertigungsungenauigkeiten, die bei regelmäßig angewendeter Kunststoff-Spritztechnik nie vermeidbar sind, völlig unreproduzierbare Zustände in den Führungsqualitäten erzielt werden.A Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung described above is known from DE 89 07 905 U1. Therein, a plurality of guide means are arranged laterally and at the bottom of the dispenser tray, wherein the additional guide elements at the bottom of the dispenser tray lie in a completely different plane than the lateral guide means. This results between these additional guide elements and the laterally arranged on the dispenser bowl guide elements another Verkantungsmoment that can be prevented because of its angular position obliquely to the horizontal by no amount of accuracy of the guides. In addition, the management tasks between the individual guide element pairs are not defined clearly enough, so that in manufacturing inaccuracies, which are never avoidable with regularly applied plastic injection molding technique, completely irreproducible conditions in the leadership qualities can be achieved.
Eine weitere Waschmitteleinspülvorrichtung ist aus DE 20 38 324 A1 bekannt, in der die Einspülschale ebenfalls über mehrere Führungsmittel mit unterschiedlichen Freiheitsgraden eine gewisse Auszuglänge weit geführt werden.Another Waschmitteleinspülvorrichtung is known from DE 20 38 324 A1, in which the Einspülschale also be guided over a plurality of guide means with different degrees of freedom a certain extension length.
Aus dem Stand der Technik sind weitere als Schubladen ausgebildete Einspülschalen bekannt. Sie weisen gegenüber der Einschuböffnung in der Waschmaschine eine relative große Toleranz auf. Eine Toleranz ist einerseits erforderlich, da Einspülschalen im Allgemeinen als Kunststoffspritzgussteil hergestellt werden. Solche relativ großen Spritzgussteile lassen sich bei vertretbarem Aufwand nur mit relativ großen Toleranzen herstellen.From the prior art further trained as drawers Einspülschalen are known. They have relative to the insertion opening in the washing machine to a relatively large tolerance. On the one hand, a tolerance is required since induction dishes are generally produced as a plastic injection-molded part. Such relatively large injection-molded parts can be produced at reasonable cost only with relatively large tolerances.
Die Toleranz zwischen der Einspülschublade und den entsprechenden Führungselementen der Einschuböffnung in der Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung soll andererseits aber möglichst klein sein, damit ein Verkanten der Einspülschale während des Einschubvorgangs in die Waschmaschine verhindert werden kann.The tolerance between the dispensing drawer and the corresponding guide elements of the insertion opening in the Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung but on the other hand should be as small as possible, so that tilting of the dispenser can be prevented during the insertion process in the washing machine.
Nachteilig hierbei ist, dass ein solches Verkanten auch bei vertretbar engen Toleranzen im Allgemeinen nur wirksam vermieden wird, wenn die durch den Benutzer der Waschmaschine zum Einschieben der Einspülschale ausgeübte Einschubkraft in etwa in der Mitte der Frontseite der Einspülschale ansetzt, der Benutzer die Einspülschale also etwa in der Mitte der Frontseite anfasst. Drückt der Benutzer hingegen auf einen außermittigen Bereich der Einspülschale - bei technisch ungebildeten Benutzern häufig -, um diese in die Einschuböffnung einzuschieben, so kommt es auch bei relativ kleinen Toleranzen noch zu einem Verkanten.The disadvantage here is that such tilting is only effectively avoided even at reasonably close tolerances, if the insertion force exerted by the user of the washing machine for inserting the dispenser inserts approximately in the middle of the front of the dispenser tray, the user so the dispenser in the middle of the front touches. On the other hand, if the user presses on an off-center area of the dispensing tray - frequently with technically uneducated users - in order to insert it into the insertion opening, tilting occurs even with relatively small tolerances.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine verbesserte Einspülschale für eine Waschmaschine und eine verbesserte Waschmaschine zu schaffen. Diese der Erfindung zu Grunde liegende Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale der unabhängigen Patentansprüche gelöst. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen sind in den abhängigen Patentansprüchen angegeben.The invention is based on the object to provide an improved Einspülschale for a washing machine and an improved washing machine. This object of the invention is achieved by the features of the independent claims. Preferred embodiments are given in the dependent claims.
Nach der Erfindung werden die horizontale und die vertikale Führung der Einspülschale in zwei voneinander getrennte Bereiche aufgeteilt: Beispielsweise dient die äußere Kante der Einspülschale zur vertikalen Führung, während in einem mittleren oberen Bereich der Einspülschale eine Führung in horizontaler Richtung vorgesehen ist. Dies erlaubt es, das seitliche Spiel zwischen der Einspülschale und der Einschuböffnung zu minimieren, um so ein Verkanten auch bei außermittigem Einleiten der Einschubkraft in die Einspülschale während des Einschubvorgangs zu verhindern.According to the invention, the horizontal and the vertical guide of the dispenser are divided into two separate areas: For example, the outer edge of the dispenser serves for vertical guidance, while in a central upper portion of the dispenser tray a guide is provided in the horizontal direction. This makes it possible to minimize the lateral play between the dispenser tray and the insertion opening, so as to prevent tilting even with off-center introduction of the insertion force into the dispenser during the insertion process.
Außerdem hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, wenn die horizontale Führung der Einspülschale über eine hintere Begrenzung der Einspülschale hinwegragt, so dass bei einer Einschubbewegung der Einspülschale in die Einschuböffnung der Waschmaschine zunächst die überragende horizontale Führung der Einspülschale mit den entsprechenden Führungselementen in der Einschuböffnung zur Wirkung kommt. Auf diese Art und Weise ist eine relativ große Führungslänge der horizontalen Führungselemente der Einschuböffnung und der Einspülschale während des Einschubvorgangs gewährleistet, und zwar bei gleichzeitig geringer Führungsbreite der horizontalen Führungselemente. Die Toleranz zwischen Einspülschale und Einschuböffnung in horizontaler Richtung ist deshalb enger einstellbar, was einem Verkanten auch beim Einschieben der Einspülschale durch Drücken auf einen seitlichen Bereich der Frontplatte der Einspülschale entgegenwirkt.In addition, it has proved to be advantageous if the horizontal guidance of the dispenser tray protrudes beyond a rear boundary of the dispenser, so that at an insertion movement of the dispenser in the insertion opening of the washing machine first the superior horizontal guidance of the dispenser with the corresponding guide elements in the insertion opening to the effect comes. In this way, a relatively large guide length of the horizontal guide elements of the insertion opening and the dispenser shell during the insertion process is ensured, with a simultaneous low guide width of the horizontal guide elements. The tolerance between the dispensing tray and the insertion opening in the horizontal direction is therefore more closely adjustable, which counteracts jamming even when the dispenser tray is inserted by pressing on a lateral area of the front panel of the dispenser tray.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Trennwände der mittleren Kammer der Einspülschale als horizontale Führungselemente ausgebildet. Dazu können diese Wände auch nach oben etwas über den Rand der Kammer hinaus ragen. Bei der mittleren Kammer handelt es sich typischerweise um die Kammer für ein Weichspülmittel. Die beiden Trennwände dieser Kammer sind in einem oberen Bereich jeweils über eine hintere Begrenzung der Einspülschale hinausgezogen und greifen beim Einschieben der Einspülschale in entsprechende Führungselemente in der Einschuböffnung der Waschmaschine ein. Die Führungselemente der Waschmaschine weisen dabei vorzugsweise eine Einfädelungshilfe auf, die zum Beispiel trichterförmig ausgebildet sein kann.In a further preferred embodiment, the partitions of the middle chamber of the dispenser shell are formed as horizontal guide elements. These walls can also protrude slightly above the edge of the chamber. The middle compartment is typically the compartment for a fabric softener. The two partitions of this chamber are pulled out in an upper region in each case via a rear boundary of the dispenser shell and engage when inserting the dispenser tray in corresponding guide elements in the insertion opening of the washing machine. The guide elements of the washing machine preferably have a Einfädelungshilfe, which may be funnel-shaped, for example.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind zumindest die Trennwände der mittleren Kammer der Einspülschale doppelwandig ausgebildet. Dies hat den Vorteil einer größeren Stabilität der durch die Trennwände realisierten horizontalen Führung. Durch die doppelwandige Ausführung wird aber auch eine größere Stabilität und geringere Verformbarkeit der Trennwände und des gesamten Schubladenkörpers erreicht, so dass bei unsymmetrisch eingeleiteten Schubkräften keine schädliche Verformung der Schublade auftreten kann, die zu einer Verkantung beitragen könnte. Ein weiterer Vorteil der doppelwandigen Ausbildung der Trennwände ist, dass die Trennwände nicht wellig wirken, sondern ein hochwertiges Aussehen haben. Damit verbunden ist eine gesteigerte Wertanmutung der Waschmaschine insgesamt.In a further preferred embodiment, at least the partitions of the middle chamber of the dispenser shell are double-walled. This has the advantage of greater stability of realized by the partitions horizontal guide. Due to the double-walled design but also greater stability and lower deformability of the partitions and the entire drawer body is achieved, so that when asymmetrically initiated thrust forces no damaging deformation of the drawer can occur, which could contribute to a tilting. Another advantage of the double-walled design of the partitions is that the partitions do not appear wavy, but have a high-quality appearance. This is associated with an increased perceived value of the washing machine as a whole.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine Prinzipdarstellung einer typischen aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Einspülschublade. Die Einspülschublade 3 weist Kammern 6, 7 und 8 für die Aufnahme von Waschmitteln bzw. Weichspülmitteln auf. Die Kammern 6, 7 und 8 werden durch die Trennwände 9 und 10 in der Einspülschublade 3 gebildet. Zum Einschub der Einspülschublade 3 in die Einschuböffnung 2 ihres Aufnahmegehäuses sind zwischen den Seitenwänden 23 der Einspülschublade 3 und den Seitenwänden 24 des Aufnahmegehäuses nicht im Detail gezeigte Führungsschienen angeordnet, die zur Führung der Einschubbewegung sowohl in horizontaler als auch in vertikaler Richtung dienen.Fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a typical known from the prior art Einspülschublade. The
Dies führt zu der großen Führungsbreite T, die den gesamten Öffnungsbereich der Einschuböffnung 2 abdeckt. Andererseits führt zu dies bei ausgezogener Schublade 3 zu einer kleinen Führungslänge I, was insbesondere bei einer noch geringen Einschubtiefe der Einspülschublade 3 in die Einschuböffnung 2 während des Einschubvorgangs eine hohe Verkantungsneigung impliziert, insbesondere dann, wenn der Benutzer nicht zentral an der Schublade angreift, sondern in einem Randbereich der Frontplatte 4 auf die Einspülschublade 3 drückt, um diese einzuschieben oder auszuziehen.This leads to the large guide width T, which covers the entire opening region of the
Fig. 3 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung einer Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Einspülschublade in einer Ansicht von oben. Die Einspülschublade 3 genäß Fig. 3 weist in deren Randbereichen 11 und 12 jeweils Führungen für die Führung der Einspülschublade in vertikaler Richtung auf. Diese Führungen greifen in entsprechende Führungselemente in der Einschuböffnung 2 ein, wie aus Fig. 4 zu ersehen ist und anhand Fig. 4 näher erläutert werden wird.Fig. 3 shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of a Einspülschublade invention in a view from above. The
Zur horizontalen Führung hat die Einspülschublade 3 in deren Zentralbereich Führungen, die durch Oberkanten der Trennwände 9 und 10 gebildet werden. Die Trennwände 9 und 10 ragen in dem Bereich 13 über die hintere Begrenzung der Einspülschublade 3 hinaus. Im korrespondierenden oberen Bereich der Einschuböffnung 2 befinden sich Führungselemente 14 und 15. Zum Einschub der Einspülschublade 3 in die Einschuböffnung 2 wird zunächst der überstehende Bereich 13 der Trennwände 9 und 10 zwischen die Führungselemente 14 und 15 gebracht und kann dann zwischen diesen Führungselementen hin- und hergeschoben werden.For horizontal guidance, the
Die Führungselemente 14 und 15 begrenzen dabei zusammen mit den Trennwänden 9 und 10 das Spiel in horizontaler Richtung und zwar bei einer geringen Führungsbreite t und einer dazu relativ großen Führungslänge L. Dadurch werden Verkantungen wirksam vermieden, selbst wenn die Einschubkraft nicht zentral sondern über einen seitlichen Bereich der Frontplatte 4 der Einspülschublade 3 eingeleitet wird.The

In ihren seitlichen Randbereichen 11 und 12 weist die Einspülschublade 3 vertikale Führungen 16 und 17 auf. Zwischen der Deckplatte 20 des Aufnahmegehäuses hinter der Einschuböffnung 2 und seinen Führungsschienen 18 und 19 sind jeweils Führungsräume gebildet, in denen die Schienen 16 und 17 für die vertikale Führung während der Logitudinalbewegung der Waschmittelschublade 3 laufen. Dadurch wird die Lage der Einspülschublade 3 in vertikaler Richtung festgelegt.In its
Die Trennwand 9 und die Trennwand 10 der Einspülschublade 3 greifen in den Raum zwischen den Führungen 14 und 15 des Aufnahmegehäuses hinter der Einschuböffnung 2 ein, womit die Lage der Einspülschublade 3 in horizontaler Richtung festgelegt ist. Die Trennwände 9 und 10 sind doppelwandig ausgebildet; dies hat den Vorteil einer größeren mechanischen Steifigkeit. Ferner wird auch das sonst übliche wellige Aussehen der Trennwände in der Einspülschublade vermieden; es ergibt sich ein hochwertiger Eindruck.The
Im Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 5 weisen die Führungen 14 und 15 für die Einspülschublade 3 Endbereiche 21 bzw. 22 auf, die mit den Führungen 14 und 15 einen Winkel bilden, so dass eine trichterförmige Erweiterung der Einführungsöffnung entsteht. Dadurch ist eine Einfädelungshilfe für den gegenseitigen Eingriff der Führungselemente, der Trennwände 9 und 10 sowie der Führungen 14 und 15, realisiert.In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the
