Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a household appliance, in particular washing machine or spin dryer, according to Preamble of claim 1 and a stand for a Household machine according to claim 10.
  • a household appliance in particular washing machine or spin dryer, according to Preamble of claim 1 and a stand for a Household machine according to claim 10.
  • the base of the household machine have the feature intended to store the household machine non-slip as well at the same time also to dampen movements of the household machine. In addition, they also serve to unevenness of the underground compensate.
  • the footprint of the known feet consists of a rubbery material, the o. g. Owns properties.
  • known feet have the disadvantage that the mostly used rubber material of the base area relatively hard is formed, whereby its damping effect only limited is. This leads, for example, to washing machines shaking so much during the spin that they do move laterally over the ground or a kind of rotary motion perform. This behavior is very disadvantageous because it This is possible because washing machines during operation for example, hit against a wall and thereby, due to the shaking movements during the spin, repeated against hit the wall. This must be prevented because it too Damage may occur in the environment of the household appliance. Of the Electricity, water supply and drainage can thereby to be damaged. It is also very difficult on the To store laundry items, as these are from the Washing machine can be dropped during operation.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a Household machine, especially washing machine or Wäscheschleuder such form, that the movements or vibrations, for example, the Spin or occur during other operations, be reduced so that there is no risk that the Washing machine or for example a spin dryer during the company's position on the stand space assigned to it leaves. Furthermore, to be achieved by means of the invention be that the household machine is running smoothly and possible transmits little vibrations to their footprint. Farther should be proposed a base, with the help of a Household machine particularly securely positioned and steamed can be stored on a substrate.
  • the household machine with at least three, preferably four feet to design, in which case at least two feet are equipped with faces.
  • the elastic element is the partial surface at vertical motion of the household machine towards the ground pushes or nachcuit, lies the Stand surface of the stand always on the ground. This makes it possible that even vertical vibrations can be damped, as this part of the surface on the ground gets up with a burden.
  • the elastic element can be different be configured, whether as a leaf or coil spring or For example, as a pneumatic piston or gas spring.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention has the inside designed essentially as a circular surface lying surface of the base as a softer material Material, which usually also has a higher deformability has, as the annular surface surrounding this part surface.
  • the invention shown in section in section configured stand 1 can not only the usual He absorbs and dampens vibrations, but he is through his special embodiment of the invention further able the To improve vibration damping, especially from Vibrations that are horizontal, ie parallel to the ground 6, run.
  • An inventively designed household appliance (not shown) has a secure footing and avoids the disadvantages of the known household appliances.
  • the inventive design of the base 2 of the Stand 1 has two partial surfaces 21, 22 which are around a to achieve better damping effect, special properties exhibit.
  • the partial surface 22, the partial surface 21 annular consists of an elastomer, d. H. from a rubbery material, either a rubber or For example, a polyurethane that is attached to an example metallic support 32 is attached by vulcanization.
  • a rubbery material either a rubber or
  • a polyurethane that is attached to an example metallic support 32 is attached by vulcanization.
  • the Carrier 32 is fixedly connected to the holding means 3, so that by turning the carrier 32 via the thread 31, the above mentioned height adjustment of the household machine carried out can be.
  • the partial surface 21 is arranged, in the embodiment axially over the partial surface 22nd also available.
  • This embodiment has the special Advantage that by putting up the household machine the underground owing to the weight of the household machine that Partial surface 21 is pressed in the direction of the holding means 3, whereby the elastic member 5 is put under tension. In this state, the household machine is with her Stand so on the stand on that both the Partial surface 22 and the part surface 21 fixed contact with the Have underground. In this state, the footprint are 2 the partial surface 21 and the partial surface 22 in one plane.
  • the base 1, as shown in the drawing is shown, even then, the vibrations of the Household machine to attenuate, for example, during the Slings, due to imbalance in the machine, this lifted off the ground 6 due to strong vertical movements Has.
  • This condition is due to the graphic representation outlined. While by the vertical movement temporarily the Standing surface 4 of the part surface 22 from the ground 6 lifts, the base 4 of the face 21 still remains in Contact with the Underground 6. This is a consequence of that the elastic element 5, the part surface 21 through her Pretension in the direction of the ground 6 presses.
  • the elastic element receives its bias by the fact that the Part surface 21 by the weight of the household machine in a position is shifted (not shown) in which the Part surface 21 and the partial surface 22 to lie in a plane come. This is done in each case when setting up the machine.
  • the axial displacement of the partial surface 21 in the direction of the Holding means 3 has the consequence that the elastic element 5 deformed and thus biased, then in case of need one Lift off the face 21 counteract, as shown in the graphic representation is disclosed.
  • the material of the part surface 21 are chosen so that this self is capable of such deformations take. If necessary, the partial surface then relaxes correspond to the extent that the part surface 21, even in the case strong vibrations of the household machine, in contact with the Subsoil remains.
  • the material used to the desired Properties are adapted, for example, what that Slip behavior in relation to the respective ground concerns.
  • the design of the size of the Stand surface 2, or the partial surfaces 21 and 22, the desired damping behavior of the household appliance or the foot can be determined.
