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 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 a door for household appliances with a base recess is known, which is formed pivotable about a horizontal axis and is constructed shell-shaped from an inner door and an outer door. Through an extendable door part, which has lateral fastening strips with rows of holes, manages an artificial extension of the door, which is thus customizable even without attaching a decorative plate to the height of the base - especially the current short socket height - of kitchen furniture or other household appliances.

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 publications DE 27 16 952 and DE 29 37 440 are corresponding household appliances with a door known that have two-piece attachment plates. The upper header plate is attached directly to the door, while the lower header plate extends between the base recess of the household appliance and the lower door end extending device section. The known household appliances are each equipped with means for pivoting the lower header plate in the base recess, the base panel occupies a starting position with the door closed and a target position with the door open. These are different, but complicated pivoting mechanisms, both of which have a possible gap-free veneering of the device by placing the lower plinth panel directly to the upper header plate to the destination. The problem is that when the door is open, an oblique position of the lower base panel in the base recess is created and thus their abutment on the device housing must be prevented by separate locking measures, a minor role.

Aus der US 4,900,109 ist ein Geschirrspüler mit einem Gehäuse bekannt. Eine Tür ist um eine horizontale Achse mit einem Gelenk verschwenkbar mit dem Gehäuse verbunden. Eine untere Leiste ist im Wesentlichen vertikal beweglich beim Verschwenken der Tür mit dem Gelenk derart verbunden, dass die untere Leiste kann nur durch einen Mechanismus in Abhängigkeit von der Drehbewegung der Tür bewegt werden kann.From the US 4,900,109 is a dishwasher with a housing known. A door is pivotally connected to the housing about a horizontal axis with a hinge. A lower bar is substantially vertically movable when pivoting the door connected to the hinge such that the lower bar can only be moved by a mechanism in response to the rotational movement of the door.

Aus der EP 0 517 159 A1 ist ein Geschirrspüler mit einer Tür bekannt, wobei die Tür um eine horizontal verlaufende Achse schwenkbar am Gerätekörper gelagert ist. An der Tür ist eine Vorsatzplatte als Frontblende angebracht. An die Vorsatzplatte schließt eine untere kleinere Blende flächenbündig an, die mit einem Scharnier mit der Vorsatzplatte verbunden ist. Am unteren Ende der Blende befindet sich ein Lenker, der mit dem vom Boden entfernten Randabschnitt einer Sockelblende verbunden ist. Das untere Ende der Blende ist mit einem Lenker mit der Sockelblende verbunden. Beim Öffnen der Tür kann dadurch die Blende nach unten bewegt werden.From the EP 0 517 159 A1 a dishwasher is known with a door, wherein the door is pivotally mounted about a horizontally extending axis on the device body. On the door, a front plate is attached as a front panel. To the header plate includes a lower lower panel flush, which is connected to a hinge with the attachment plate. At the lower end of the panel is a handlebar, which is connected to the remote from the bottom edge portion of a plinth panel. The lower end of the panel is connected to a handlebar with the plinth panel. When opening the door can be moved down the aperture.

Aus der US 3 393 950 ist ein Gehäuse mit einer Tür bekannt, die um eine horizontale Achse verschwenkbar am Gehäuse gelagert ist. Am unteren Ende der Tür ist mit Hilfe von Stiften eine Platte gelenkig an der Tür befestigt. Die Platte ist des Weiteren an ihrem unteren Ende mit einem Verbindungsarm gelenkig am Gehäuse gelagert. Dadurch bewegt sich beim Öffnen der Tür die Platte mit nach unten. Die Platte besteht im Wesentlichen aus einer Deckplatte.From the US 3,393,950 a housing with a door is known which is mounted pivotably about a horizontal axis on the housing. At the bottom of the door a plate is hinged to the door with the help of pins. The plate is also hinged at its lower end with a connecting arm on the housing. As a result, when you open the door, the plate moves down with. The plate consists essentially of a cover plate.

Aus der DE 297 13 611 U1 ist eine Frontverkleidung für Haushaltsgeschirrspülmaschinen bekannt. Die Haushaltsgeschirrspülmaschine verfügt über eine Beschickungstür, die an ihrem unteren Rand um eine Schwenkachse drehbar gelagert ist. Eine Sockelblende ist am unteren Ende der Beschickungstür mit Lagerstiften an dieser gelenkig gelagert. Außerdem ist die Sockelblende an einem Abstützelement mit einer Abstützrolle gelagert Das Abstützelement ist horizontal verstellbar mittels einer Langlochverschraubung, um eine vertikale Ausrichtung der Sockelblende für beliebige Frontverkleidungen zu ermöglichen. Bei einem Öffnen der Tür wird die Sockelblende nach unten bewegt, und verschwenkt aus der vertikalen Position um eine Andrückrolle.From the DE 297 13 611 U1 is a front panel for household dishwashers known. The household dishwasher has a loading door, which is rotatably mounted at its lower edge about a pivot axis. A plinth is hinged at the lower end of the loading door with bearing pins on this. In addition, the base panel is mounted on a support element with a support roller The support element is horizontally adjustable by means of a slot screw to allow vertical alignment of the base panel for any front panels. When opening the door, the base panel is moved down, and pivoted from the vertical position to a pressure roller.

Gemäß der DE 196 13 300 C1 ist der Gerätekörper einer Geschirrspülmaschine mit einer Tür verschlossen. An der unteren Stirnseite der Tür ist über ein verdecktes Scharnier eine Türverlängerungsplatte angelenkt. Das Scharnier erlaubt ein Abklappen der Türverlängerungsplatte in Richtung zur Vorderseite der Tür um mindest 90°. An einem Sockelrücksprung ist eine starre Schubstange fest angebracht, die mit ihrem freien, vorzugsweise abgewinkelten Ende in einer schlitzförmigen Führung verstellbar geführt ist. Die Führung ist auf der Rückseite der Türverkleidungsplatte angebracht und parallel zu dieser ausgerichtet. Damit führt der Sockelrücksprung eine Drehbewegung beim Öffnen und Schließen der Tür aus.According to the DE 196 13 300 C1 the appliance body of a dishwasher is closed with a door. On the lower front side of the door is hinged on a hidden hinge a door extension plate. The hinge allows folding the door extension plate towards the front of the door by at least 90 °. At one Base recess is rigidly attached to a rigid push rod, which is adjustably guided with its free, preferably angled end in a slot-shaped guide. The guide is mounted on the back of the door trim panel and aligned parallel to it. Thus, the base recess performs a rotational movement when opening and closing the door.

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 Sperr- oder Stopmittel kann dies auch zu einer Beschädigung der Sockelblende nach häufigem Öffnen und Schließen der Tür führen.In particular, in today's high kitchens with low base of the available space of the base recess is limited, so that the oblique pivoting of the adjoining the door base panel in the open state of the door is still not guaranteed without abutting the housing. In the absence of separate blocking or stop means, this can also lead to damage to the base panel after frequent opening and closing of 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 to design a door of the type described above so that it avoids the disadvantages of known solutions and reliably prevents abutment of the adjoining the door base panel on the housing.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 erfindungsgemäß gelöst. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1 according to the invention. Further 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.Characterized in that the base panel is movable from the starting position by a arranged between a housing of the household appliance and the base panel spacers in about vertical direction down to the target position, no pivoting of the base panel in the space of the base recess according to the known mechanisms. Rather, with the door open in the target position by the approximately straight movement of the plinth panel down a possible bumping on the housing safely and by simple means of a spacer prevented. The designed according to the invention door is thus in principle independent of the available space of the base recess - especially for high kitchens with low base heights - for any household appliances, but especially for dishwashers advantageously used.

Gemäß einer besonders günstigen Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Abstandshalter am Gerätegehäuse und an der Sockelblende schwenkbar gelagert sowie mit fest verbunden.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the spacer is pivotally mounted on the device housing and the base panel and connected with fixed.

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.Thus, only the spacer performs a pivoting movement and pulls the base panel this advantageous approximately straight in about a vertical direction down. Damage to the base panel, which may arise in the known pivoting movement by possible abutment in the space of the base recess, are 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 Haushaltsgeräten bzw. der entsprechenden Ausgestaltung des jeweils zugehörigen Sockelrücksprungs flexibel anpassbar.According to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the spacer is arranged in the region of the base recess and adapted to the distance between the housing and plinth panel. Thus, the spacer for use in various household appliances or the corresponding design of the respective associated base return is flexibly adaptable.

Vorteilhafterweise ist das Haushaltgerät eine Geschirrspülmaschine, wobei in dieser Geschirrspülmaschine die vorbeschriebenen Vorteile sinnvolle Anwendung finden.Advantageously, the domestic appliance is a dishwashing machine, wherein the above-described advantages find meaningful application in this dishwasher.

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.On the front of the dishwasher 1 is a pivotable about a horizontal axis 17 and ev. With a designed original kitchen furniture attachment plate for a uniform appearance of device and furniture front paneled door 8 is attached to the closing and opening of the most generously sized rinse tank serves. This is the desire for the largest possible door 3 connected. For opening and closing a handle 10 which can be designed differently depending on the type of device, in the embodiment shown on the door 8 in the upper door area, arranged. Regarding the basic structure of the door 8 reference is made to the DE-GM 88 10 959, which shows the shell-like structure of an inner door with an inner door panel and an outer door with an outer door panel and describes. The inner door has means for closing the door 8, which preferably cooperate with attached to the housing 2 Gegenhalterelementen so that the door 8 can be completely and tightly locked. The outer door has means for forming the front of the device, e.g. for fixing a decorative or intent board, so that it essentially performs a decorative function. In the case of the dishwasher 1, it also assumes a protective function for arranged in the space between the inner door and outer door mounting elements, which include, for example, preferably located in a panel box 11 controls and indicators and the program selector switch and the program control unit. The top of the housing 5 and door 8 is usually closed 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 Sockelblende 9 an der Tür 8 über eine horizontale Achse 15 schwenkbar gelagert ist.

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, the door 8 is adjoined by a base panel 9 which, according to FIG. 1, forms a starting position according to FIG. 2, with the door 8 closed and at least almost corresponding to a vertical position open door 8 can take. Advantageously, as the base panel 9 is a designed in the original kitchen furniture furniture plinth panel for a uniform appearance of equipment and furniture front mounted on a mounting plate, the base panel 9 is pivotally mounted on the door 8 via a horizontal axis 15. The door 8 and the base panel 9 thus form the machine front in the installed state of the dishwasher 1, which cover the body 13 of the household appliance. Between the bottom of the body 12 and the kitchen floor 7 is preferably still one End cover 16 to cover the feet 6 and at least a portion of the housing bottom 5 is arranged.

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 subject matter of the invention, the door 8 is designed in such a way that a spacer 14, preferably flexibly adjustable in its dimensions, is arranged between the housing 2 or housing bottom 5 and the base panel 9, through which the base panel 9 is moved from the initial position according to FIG can be moved in the vertical direction down to the target position shown in Figure 2. It is advantageous if the spacer 14 is pivotally mounted on the housing bottom 5 or the housing 2 and the base panel 9. As soon as a user of the dishwasher 1 moves the door 8 from the closed position in the direction of the open position over the horizontal axis 17, the spacer 14 is deflected from its original horizontal position over the horizontal axis 15, moves into an inclined position and guides the base panel 9 on a 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 when the door 8 is open. In this case, an oblique position of the spacer 14 that is approximately 45 degrees is clearly recognizable when the door 8 is fully open. While the spacer 14 undergoes a pivoting movement, the base panel 9 performs only the approximately straight movement in an approximately vertical direction from top to bottom. The spacer 14 is conveniently arranged in the region of the base recess 3 and formed adaptable to the distance between the housing 2 and the housing bottom 5 and base panel 9. Above all, the base panel 9 with spacer 14 is designed so that it does not touch the kitchen floor 7 and the end panel 16. In addition, as a blocking or stopping means for the movement of the spacer 14 and the base panel 9 in the space of the base recess 3 is not needed.

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, the door 8 can also be adjoined by a height-adjustable variable base panel, which is likewise mounted pivotably on the door 8. The variable base panel may be a substitute for the base panel 9 described above if it is not available. The particular advantage of the variable plinth panel, however, is that they adapt to different heights, resulting for example from different base heights, to simple but effective way allows. The variable plinth panel can be made up of several individual strips of different or the same height. Thus, a flexible approximation to a wide variety of requirements for the dimensions of the variable plinth panel can be achieved. The most suitable are made of plastic strips.

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.By approximately straight movement of the base panel 9 down a possible abutment on the housing 2, 5 is prevented safely and by simple means of a spacer 14 according to the invention. The designed according to the invention door 8 is thus in principle independent of the available space of the base recess 3 - especially for high kitchens with low base heights - for any household appliances, but especially for dishwashers 1 advantageously used.
