Definitions

  • the invention relates to a laundry drum for a drum washing machine at least one on the inside of the drum shell by means of fastening elements attached drivers from a hollow body open to the drum shell a cross-sectional area, which is similar to a triangle, and stiffening structures the inside of his flanks.
  • Such a drum is known for example from GB 1 161 219.
  • the drivers made of plastic are fastened to the drum shell by locking pieces, by these locking pieces when inserting the driver into the openings of one the arrangement of the locking pieces congruent hole pattern set and then as far sideways be moved until the locking pieces come under the tabs of the openings and be locked there.
  • the drivers are then through from the outside Driving parts in the drum shell penetrating screws connected to it the drivers cannot move out of the locking position.
  • the invention has for its object a laundry drum of the aforementioned Specify the type in which the drivers are securely and stably fastened, the high-speed Do not spin while deforming the drum and itself Form gaps between themselves and the drum shell and none in the long run Flow deformation are exposed, which leads to the loosening of the connections and to rattling noises leads.
  • this object is achieved in accordance with the characterizing part of claim 1 solved that in the area of at least part of the structures strip-shaped Assembly parts with a substantially parallel to the surface of the drum shell Section are positively connected to the inside of the flanks and the sections have at least two fastening elements, by means of which the driver is attached to the drum shell.
  • the required elasticity is shown in a particularly advantageous manner in that the strip-shaped mounting part at its ends in the direction of the interior of the driver has cranked areas in tab-shaped end sections leak with which the strip-shaped assembly part undercuts the associated Structures. This creates two bending zones in the form of strips Mounting part that provides the necessary elasticity as spring elements.
  • the strip-shaped Mounting part in the area between the fasteners is rigid
  • one of the drivers can be mounted over the connection seam of the drum casing be that the fasteners of the strip-shaped mounting part on both sides the connecting seam and the mounting part as a local reinforcement of the drum shell serves by the weak point of the Drum jacket bridging stabilizing. There and also at the assembly locations of the rest The stiffness of the drum shell is advantageously increased by the driver.
  • the areas around the fastening elements of the strip-shaped mounting part are elastic educated. This makes it easier to attach the assembly parts to the drivers and safer. This allows the elastically designed mounting parts in front of the Installation of the drivers from above the open sides of the drivers by bending together the elastic parts are led under the undercuts.
  • the fastening elements on the strip-shaped elements are particularly advantageous Mounting parts threaded holes and those for connection between the drum shell and the drivers screws. If the reinforcement of the drum jacket connection seam and possibly also the other drum shell surfaces in the foreground the screw connection is the safest fastening method.
  • an embodiment variant of the invention should be roughly equal of the fasteners on the strip-shaped mounting parts holes and those rivets for the connection between the drum shell and the drivers.
  • This fastening method is used because of the cost advantages compared to the screw connection may be preferable.
  • the fasteners on the strip-shaped assembly parts molded rivets are used to connect the driver to the drum shell Pierce holes in the drum jacket.
  • the fasteners lugs formed on the strip-shaped assembly parts for connection of the driver with the drum jacket penetrate slots in the drum jacket and are bent towards the outer surface of the drum shell.
  • strip-shaped assembly parts are formed from sheet metal.
  • Fig. 1 shows a rolled drum shell and held together at the connecting seam 2 1, which is equipped with three evenly distributed drivers 3 on its inside is.
  • the shape of the driver 3 is not of great importance for the invention; however a shape is common that has at least approximately one (symmetrical or asymmetrical) triangle.
  • the carriers are 3 even slightly helical, so that they do not extend in their longitudinal direction are parallel to the drum center axis 4.
  • a section of the cladding sheet 1 is indicated by dashed lines. Furthermore, a fictitious line 5 is indicated, which shows the position of the connecting seam 2 could indicate below the driver 3 and parallel to the drum center axis 4 lies.
  • structures 7 and 9 serve the purpose of Stiffen flanks 6 so that they are in extreme deformations of the drum shell do not collapse during heavy loads during high-speed spinning.
  • stiffening structures Some (9) of the stiffening structures also serve as strip-shaped mounting parts 10 to hold, with which the driver 3 tight at firm connections Drum jacket 1 are attached. Further details can be found in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • the stiffening structures 9 in FIG. 3 are close to the open base side 11 of the driver 3, with which it is connected on the inside of the drum shell 1 by each formed an undercut 12 on each flank 6 so that a flap-shaped End portion 13 of a cranked end 14 of the strip-shaped mounting part 10, here formed as a resilient sheet metal strip, can engage in the undercut 12.
  • the cranked End 14 is designed to be resilient so that the metal strip 10 when inserted can be moved past the upper section 15 of the stiffening structure 9. there the outermost edge of the tab-shaped end portion 13 slides on the oblique edge 16 of the upper section 15 along the stiffening structure 9 and finally falls in Undercut 12 a.
  • middle section 17 which - except for the arched bulge downwards - essentially is parallel to the drum shell 1, resilient.
  • the sheet metal strip 10 has a threaded bore immediately next to each cranked end 14 18, into which one is inserted from the outside of the drum shell 1 Screw 19 (Fig. 1) can be screwed in.
  • This screw 19 pulls the metal strip tight to the inside of the drum shell 1 and thus brings a large force on the cranked end 14 of the sheet metal strip 10.
  • the sheet metal strip 10 is between the threaded holes and the penetrating screws 19 with a rigid Midsection 20 equipped to the area of the drum shell 1 where the Middle section 20 is present, particularly stiffening.
  • a connecting seam 2 of the drum shell 1 of interest which at Skidding due to increased forces in the direction of the circumference of the jacket for installation and tearing open.
  • This effect would primarily relieve the strain on the seam 2 through the sheet metal strip 10 with its rigid central portion 20 on the Counteract seam 2.
  • the stabilization of the connecting seam 2 counteract by the pressure of the metal strip 10 on the joint 2.
  • the metal strip 10 can be provided with a bead 21 in the central section 20 or be made particularly thick.
  • the positive connection between the strip-shaped Mounting part 10 and the driver 3 may be represented by other shapes.
  • the cranked end is shaped in a way through which the tab-shaped end section is also laterally with respect to the longitudinal extent of the mounting part 10 or towards the center of the driver cavity is turned.
  • the cranked end can with such a high spring force be formed so that the sheet metal strip is not for insertion into the assembly position compress more elastically.
  • the undercut 12 can then be formed in this way be that the mounting part 10 insert from the side of the undercut 12 leaves.
  • the strip-shaped mounting part 10 can also, contrary to the exemplary embodiments achieve the same effect without a cranked end 14 if its positive Fastening in the driver succeeds in another way.
  • the ends of the strip should be straight when the entire assembly part is slightly lower in Driver is arranged and the fasteners (e.g. threaded holes) alone are arched further to the base line of the driver.
  • the strip-shaped mounting part can also be formed in several parts in order to insert it to facilitate in the driver.
  • fasteners can be designed completely different, without the Leaving invention.
  • simple holes can be used instead of the threaded holes be provided and rivets instead of the screws.
  • the rivets can be made from loose parts exist or integral part of the strip-shaped assembly part or Drum shell.
  • the strip-shaped assembly part or to the Drum-shaped flaps formed by openings of the same shape and position inserted in the opposite direction (drum jacket or strip-shaped assembly part) and are bent behind each.
