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 sowie 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 - vor allem die heute übliche kurze Sockelhöhe - 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. Through a pull-out door part, which has side fastening strips with rows of holes, succeed an artificial extension of the door, which can be done without attaching a decorative panel the height of the plinth - especially the short plinth height common today - of kitchen furniture or other household appliances is customizable.

Aus den Offenlegungsschriften DE 27 16 952 und DE 29 37 440 sind entsprechende Haushaltgeräte mit einer Tür bekannt, die zweiteilige Vorsatzplatten aufweisen. Die obere Vorsatzplatte ist direkt an der Tür angebracht, während die untere Vorsatzplatte bzw. Sockelblende sich zwischen dem Sockelrücksprung des Haushaltgeräts und dem unteren Türende verlaufenden Geräteabschnitt erstreckt. Die bekannten Haushaltgeräte sind jeweils mit Mittel zum Verschwenken der unteren Vorsatzplatte in den Sockelrücksprung ausgestattet, wobei die Sockelblende eine Ausgangsstellung bei geschlossener Tür und eine Zielstellung bei geöffneter Tür einnimmt. Dabei handelt es sich um unterschiedliche, aber komplizierte Schwenkmechanismen, die beide eine möglichst spaltfreie Verblendung des Geräts durch Anordnung der unteren Sockelblende unmittelbar an die obere Vorsatzplatte zum Ziel haben. Dabei spielt das Problem, dass bei geöffneter Tür eine Schräglage der unteren Sockelblende in den Sockelrücksprung hinein entsteht und dadurch deren Anstoßen am Gerätegehäuse durch gesonderte Sperr-Maßnahmen verhindert werden muss, eine untergeordnete Rolle.From the published documents DE 27 16 952 and DE 29 37 440 are corresponding Household appliances with a door known, which have two-part facing plates. The upper Attachment plate is attached directly to the door, while the lower attachment plate or plinth panel between the base recess of the household appliance and the lower one Door end extending device section extends. The known household appliances are each with means for pivoting the lower facing plate into the base recess equipped, the plinth panel a starting position with the door closed and assumes a target position with the door open. These are different, but complicated swivel mechanisms, both of which are as gap-free as possible of the device by arranging the lower plinth panel directly on the upper facing plate have the objective. The problem here is that when the door is open an inclined position the lower plinth panel is created in the plinth recess and thereby their Impact on the device housing can be prevented by special locking measures must, a subordinate role.

Insbesondere bei heutigen hohen Küchen mit niedrigem Sockel ist der zur Verfügung stehende Raum des Sockelrücksprungs begrenzt, so dass das schräge Einschwenken der an die Tür anschließenden Sockelblende im geöffneten Zustand der Tür noch ohne Anstoßen an das Gehäuse nicht immer gewährleistet ist. Bei Verzicht auf gesonderte Sperroder Stopmittel kann dies auch zu einer Beschädigung der Sockelblende nach häufigem Öffnen und Schließen der Tür führen.Especially in today's high kitchens with a low base is the one available Space of the base recess limited, so that the inclined swiveling of the plinth panel adjoining the door when the door is open, without bumping to the housing is not always guaranteed. In the absence of separate blocking or Stop agents can also damage the plinth panel after frequent Guide opening and closing the door.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Tür der eingangs beschriebenen Art so zu gestalten, dass sie die Nachteile bekannter Lösungen vermeidet und ein Anstoßen der an die Tür anschließenden Sockelblende am Gehäuse sicher verhindert.The invention is based on the object, a door of the type described above to be designed in such a way that it avoids the disadvantages of known solutions and initiates the plinth panel on the housing connected to the door is reliably prevented.

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.

Dadurch, dass die Sockelblende von der Ausgangsstellung durch einen zwischen einem Gehäuse des Haushaltgeräts und der Sockelblende angeordneten Abstandshalter in etwa vertikaler Richtung nach unten in die Zielstellung bewegbar ist, entsteht kein Einschwenken der Sockelblende in den Raum des Sockelrücksprungs gemäß den bekannten Mechanismen. Vielmehr wird bei geöffneter Tür in der Zielstellung durch die etwa gerade Bewegung der Sockelblende nach unten ein mögliches Anstoßen am Gehäuse sicher und mit einfachen Mitteln eines Abstandshalters verhindert. Die gemäß der Erfindung gestaltete Tür ist somit prinzipiell unabhängig von dem zur Verfügung stehenden Raum des Sockelrücksprungs - insbesondere auch für hohe Küchen mit niedrigen Sockelhöhen - für beliebige Haushaltgeräte, besonders aber für Geschirrspülmaschinen vorteilhaft einsetzbar.The fact that the base panel from the starting position by a between one Housings of the household appliance and the base panel arranged spacers approximately vertically downwards into the target position, there is no pivoting the base panel in the space of the base recess according to the known mechanisms. Rather, when the door is open in the target position by the straight Movement of the base cover down a possible bump on the housing safely and prevented with simple means of a spacer. The designed according to the invention In principle, the door is therefore independent of the space available for the base recess - especially for high kitchens with low plinth heights - for any household appliances, but particularly advantageously for dishwashers.

Gemäß einer besonders günstigen Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Abstandshalter am Gerätegehäuse und an der Sockelblende schwenkbar gelagert sowie mit fest verbunden. Damit vollzieht nur der Abstandshalter eine Schwenkbewegung und zieht die Sockelblende diese vorteilhaft etwa gerade in etwa vertikaler Richtung nach unten. Beschädigungen an der Sockelblende, die bei der bekannten Schwenkbewegung durch mögliches Anstoßen im Raum des Sockelrücksprungs entstehen können, sind dadurch ausgeschlossen.According to a particularly advantageous development of the invention, the spacer is on Device housing and swivel-mounted on the base panel and firmly connected. This means that only the spacer pivots and pulls the plinth this advantageously approximately in a vertical direction downwards. damage on the base panel, which is possible in the known pivoting movement by bumping in the space of the base recess can be excluded.

Gemäß einer anderen vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Abstandshalter im Bereich des Sockelrücksprungs angeordnet und an den Abstand zwischen Gehäuse und Sockelblende anpassbar. Damit ist der Abstandshalter für den Einsatz bei verschiedenen Haushaltgeräten bzw. der entsprechenden Ausgestaltung des jeweils zugehörigen Sockelrücksprungs flexibel anpassbar. According to another advantageous development of the invention, the spacer is in the Area of the base recess arranged and the distance between the housing and Adjustable base cover. This makes the spacer for use in various Household appliances or the corresponding design of the associated base recess flexibly adaptable.

Vorteilhafterweise ist das Haushaltgerät eine Geschirrspülmaschine, wobei in dieser Geschirrspülmaschine die vorbeschriebenen Vorteile sinnvolle Anwendung finden.The household appliance is advantageously a dishwasher, in which dishwasher the advantages described above can be applied sensibly.

Figur 1 zeigt am Beispiel einer in der Seitenansicht dargestellten Geschirrspülmaschine 1 ein in eine üblicherweise mit weiteren Haushaltgeräten und Möbeln ausgestattete - nicht näher dargestellte - Küche integrierbares Haushaltgerät. Die Geschirrspülmaschine 1 weist ein Gehäuse 2 auf, das einen mit zumindest einem Geschirrkorb zur Aufnahme von Spülgut versehenen Spülbehälter umgibt und rückseitig an einer Küchenwand 4 ansteht. Das Gehäuse 2 ist an seiner Unterseite mit einem Gehäuseboden 5, der auf vorzugsweise mehreren den Küchenboden 7 berührenden, höhenverstellbaren Stellfüße 6 steht, fortgesetzt. Im Bereich des Gehäusebodens 5 weist das Haushaltgerät einen Sockelrücksprung 3 auf.FIG. 1 shows an example of a dishwasher 1 shown in a side view one in a usually equipped with other household appliances and furniture - not detailed - kitchen integrable household appliance. The dishwasher 1 has a housing 2, one with at least one crockery basket for receiving Surrounds washware provided washware and is present on the back of a kitchen wall 4. The housing 2 is on its underside with a housing base 5, which is preferably on several height-adjustable feet 6 touching the kitchen floor 7, continued. In the area of the housing base 5, the household appliance has a base recess 3 on.

An der Frontseite der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 ist eine um eine horizontale Achse 17 schwenkbare und ev. mit einer im Original der Küchenmöbel gestalteten Vorsatzplatte für eine möglichst einheitliche Optik von Geräte- und Möbelfront verkleidete Tür 8 angebracht, die zum Schließen und Öffnen des möglichst großzügig bemessenen Spülbehälters dient. Damit ist der Wunsch nach einer möglichst großen Tür 3 verbunden. Zum Öffnen und Schließen ist im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel an der Tür 8 im oberen Türbereich ein Griff 10, der je nach Geräteart unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein kann, angeordnet. Bezüglich des prinzipiellen Aufbaus der Tür 8 sei auf das DE-GM 88 10 959 verwiesen, das deren schalenartigen Aufbau 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 8, die vorzugsweise mit an dem Gehäuse 2 angebrachten Gegenhalterelementen zusammenwirken, damit die Tür 8 vollständig und dicht zugehalten werden kann. Die Außentür weist Mittel zur Bildung der Gerätefrontseite auf, z.B. zum Befestigen einer Dekor- oder Vorsatzplatte, 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, zu denen beispielsweise die vorzugsweise in einem Blendenkasten 11 befindlichen Bedien- und Anzeigeelemente sowie der Programmwahlschalter und das Programmsteuergerät gehören. Die Oberseite von Gehäuse 5 und Tür 8 ist üblicherweise durch eine Arbeitsplatte 12 abgeschlossen.At the front of the dishwasher 1 there is a horizontal axis 17 swiveling and possibly with an attachment plate designed in the original of the kitchen furniture for as uniform a look as possible of the device and furniture front clad door 8 attached, those for closing and opening the flushing container, which is as generous as possible serves. This is related to the desire for the largest possible door 3. To open and closing is in the exemplary embodiment shown on the door 8 in the upper door area a handle 10, which can be configured differently depending on the type of device. With regard to the basic structure of door 8, reference is made to DE-GM 88 10 959, that the shell-like structure of an inner door with an inner door panel and shows and describes an outer door with an outer door panel. The inner door has via means for closing the door 8, which are preferably also attached to the housing 2 Counterhold elements cooperate so that the door 8 is completely and tightly locked can be. The outer door has means for forming the front of the device, e.g. for attaching a decorative or face plate, so that it is essentially a decorative Function. In the case of the dishwasher 1, it takes over also a protective function for the space between the inner door and the outer door arranged built-in elements, to which, for example, preferably in a panel box 11 operating and display elements and the program selector switch and belong to the program control unit. The top of housing 5 and door 8 is usually completed by a worktop 12.

Im Bereich des Sockelrücksprungs 3 schließt sich an die Tür 8 eine Sockelblende 9 an, die gemäß Figur 1 eine - zumindest nahezu einer vertikalen Lage entsprechende - Ausgangsstellung bei geschlossener Tür 8 und eine - wiederum zumindest nahezu einer vertikalen Lage entsprechende - Zielstellung gemäß Figur 2 bei geöffneter Tür 8 einnehmen kann. Vorteilhafterweise wird als Sockelblende 9 eine im Original der Küchenmöbel gestaltete Möbel-Sockelblende für eine möglichst einheitliche Optik von Geräte- und Möbelfront auf einem Befestigungsblech angebracht, wobei die Sockel blende 9 an der Tür 8 über eine horizontale Achse 15 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Die Tür 8 und die Sockelblende 9 bilden somit im eingebauten Zustand der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 die Maschinenfront, die den Korpus 13 des Haushaltgeräts abdecken. Zwischen der Unterseite des Korpus 12 und dem Küchenboden 7 ist vorzugsweise noch eine Abschlussblende 16 zur Abdeckung der Stellfüße 6 und zumindest eines Teils des Gehäusebodens 5 angeordnet.In the area of the base recess 3, a base panel 9 connects to the door 8, the one according to Figure 1 - at least almost a vertical position - starting position with door 8 closed and one - again at least almost vertical Appropriate position - take target position according to FIG. 2 with door 8 open can. Advantageously, a plinth 9 designed in the original of the kitchen furniture Furniture plinth for a uniform appearance of the appliance and furniture front attached to a mounting plate, the base panel 9 on the door 8th is pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis 15. The door 8 and the plinth 9 thus form the front of the machine in the installed state of the dishwasher 1 cover the body 13 of the household appliance. Between the bottom of the body 12 and the kitchen floor 7 is preferably a cover panel 16 for covering the leveling feet 6 and at least part of the housing base 5.

Gemäß dem Gegenstand der Erfindung ist die Tür 8 derart gestaltet, dass zwischen dem Gehäuse 2 bzw. Gehäuseboden 5 und der Sockelblende 9 ein - vorzugsweise in seinen Abmessungen flexibel anpassbarer - Abstandshalter 14 angeordnet ist, durch den die Sockelblende 9 von der Ausgangsstellung gemäß Figur 1 in etwa vertikaler Richtung nach unten in die Zielstellung gemäß Figur 2 bewegbar ist. Von Vorteil ist dabei, wenn der Abstandshalter 14 an dem Gehäuseboden 5 oder dem Gehäuse 2 und an der Sockelblende 9 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Sobald nämlich ein Benutzer der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 die Tür 8 aus der Schließstellung in Richtung der Offenstellung über die horizontale Achse 17 bewegt, wird der Abstandshalter 14 von seiner ursprünglichen horizontalen Lage über die horizontale Achse 15 ausgelenkt, bewegt sich in eine Schräglage und führt die Sockelblende 9 auf etwa geradem Weg nach unten in Richtung des Küchenbodens 7.According to the object of the invention, the door 8 is designed such that between the Housing 2 or housing base 5 and the base panel 9 - preferably in its Dimensions flexibly adjustable - spacer 14 is arranged through which the Base panel 9 from the starting position according to FIG. 1 in an approximately vertical direction can be moved below into the target position according to FIG. 2. It is advantageous if the spacer 14 on the housing base 5 or the housing 2 and on the base panel 9 is pivotally mounted. As soon as a user of the dishwasher 1 Door 8 from the closed position in the direction of the open position via the horizontal axis 17 moved, the spacer 14 is moved from its original horizontal position over the horizontal axis 15 deflected, moves into an inclined position and guides the plinth 9 on an approximately straight path down towards the kitchen floor 7.

Die von der Sockelblende 9 eingenommene Zielstellung bei geöffneter Tür 8 zeigt Figur 2. Dabei ist deutlich eine etwa 45 Grad betragende Schräglage des Abstandshalters 14 bei vollständiger Offenstellung der Tür 8 erkennbar. Während der Abstandshalter 14 eine Schwenkbewegung erfährt, vollzieht die Sockelblende 9 lediglich die etwa gerade Bewegung in etwa vertikaler Richtung von oben nach unten. Der Abstandshalter 14 ist günstiger Weise im Bereich des Sockelrücksprungs 3 angeordnet und an den Abstand zwischen Gehäuse 2 bzw. Gehäuseboden 5 und Sockelblende 9 anpassbar ausgebildet. Vor allem ist die Sockelblende 9 mit Abstandshalter 14 so ausgelegt, dass sie nicht den Küchenboden 7 und die Abschlussblende 16 berührt. Eine zusätzlich als Sperr- bzw. Stopeinrichtung für die Bewegung des Abstandshalters 14 und der Sockelblende 9 in dem Raum des Sockelrücksprungs 3 wird nicht benötigt.FIG. 2 shows the target position assumed by the base panel 9 with the door 8 open. An approximately 45 degree inclined position of the spacer 14 is clearly shown full open position of the door 8 can be seen. During the spacer 14 a Experiences pivoting movement, the base panel 9 only performs the approximately straight movement in a vertical direction from top to bottom. The spacer 14 is cheaper Arranged in the area of the base recess 3 and the distance between Housing 2 or housing base 5 and base panel 9 are made adaptable. Especially the plinth 9 with spacer 14 is designed so that it does not touch the kitchen floor 7 and the end panel 16 touches. One additionally as a blocking or stopping device for the movement of the spacer 14 and the base panel 9 in the space of Base recess 3 is not required.

Gemäß einer Alternative kann sich an die Tür 8 auch eine höhenanpassbare variable Sockelblende anschließen, die ebenfalls an der Tür 8 verschwenkbar gelagert ist. Die variable Sockelblende kann einen Ersatz für die oben beschriebene Sockelblende 9 bilden, wenn diese nicht zur Verfügung steht. Der besondere Vorteil der variablen Sockelblende besteht jedoch darin, dass sie eine Anpassung an unterschiedliche Höhen, die beispielsweise aus verschiedenen Sockelhöhen resultieren, auf einfache aber effektive Weise ermöglicht. Die variable Sockelblende kann aus mehreren einzelnen Leisten unterschiedlicher oder gleicher Höhe aufgebaut sein. Damit ist eine flexible Angleichung an unterschiedlichste Anforderungen an die Abmessungen der variablen Sockelblende erzielbar. Am besten geeignet sind dabei aus Kunststoff hergestellte Leisten.According to an alternative, a height-adjustable variable plinth panel can also be attached to the door 8 connect, which is also pivotally mounted on the door 8. The variable Base panel can be a replacement for the base panel 9 described above, if this is not available. The special advantage of the variable plinth cover However, it is that they adapt to different heights, for example result from different base heights, made possible in a simple but effective manner. The variable plinth can be made from several individual strips or the same height. This is a flexible adjustment to the most varied Requirements for the dimensions of the variable base panel achievable. Moldings made of plastic are best suited.

Durch die etwa gerade Bewegung der Sockelblende 9 nach unten wird erfindungsgemäß ein mögliches Anstoßen am Gehäuse 2, 5 sicher und mit einfachen Mitteln eines Abstandshalters 14 verhindert. Die gemäß der Erfindung gestaltete Tür 8 ist somit prinzipiell unabhängig von dem zur Verfügung stehenden Raum des Sockelrücksprungs 3 - insbesondere auch für hohe Küchen mit niedrigen Sockelhöhen - für beliebige Haushaltgeräte, besonders aber für Geschirrspülmaschinen 1 vorteilhaft einsetzbar.Due to the approximately straight movement of the base panel 9 downward, the invention a possible bump on the housing 2, 5 safely and with simple means of a spacer 14 prevented.
