ANWENDUNGSGEBIET DER ERFINDUNGFIELD OF THE INVENTION

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Waschmaschine mit einem Verankerungssystem des Laugenbehälters einer Haushaltswaschmaschine an ihrem entsprechenden Rahmen mit den Merkmalen gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, um eine Feststellung des Laugenbehälters beim Transport der Waschmaschine zu erzielen und Bewegungen oder Schwingungen des Laugenbehälters zu verhindern, die Ursache für Verstellungen und sogar Brüche oder Beschädigungen bestimmter Teile oder Komponenten sein könnten.The present invention relates to a washing machine with an anchoring system of the tub of a household washing machine to its corresponding frame with the features according to the preamble of claim 1 to achieve a determination of the tub during transport of the washing machine and to prevent movement or vibration of the tub, the cause of adjustments and even breakages or damage to certain parts or components.

ALLGEMEINER STAND DER TECHNIKGENERAL PRIOR ART

Wie allgemein bekannt, werden in Haushaltswaschmaschinen vor ihrer Verpackung zum Transport Elemente eingegliedert, die zum Feststellen des Laugenbehälters bezüglich des Rahmens der Waschmaschine bestimmt sind und ein Verankerungssystem bilden, das normalerweise ausgebildet ist durch ein Paar von Teilen und eine dazwischen liegende Feder, wobei sich eines auf den Innenteil des Rahmenblechs der Waschmaschine und das andere auf den entsprechenden Laugenbehälter stützt, so daß die Feder, die zwischen diesen zwei Teilen angeordnet ist, mit ihnen zusammen als Trennelement zwischen dem Laugenbehälter und dem Rahmen dient; und ein anderes Teil außen am Rahmen, wobei die Einheit mithilfe einer axialen Durchgangsschraube befestigt ist, die in eine Öffnung eingeschraubt ist, welche zu diesem Zweck in dem Laugenbehälter ausgebildet ist.As is well known, household washing machines, prior to their packaging for transport, incorporate elements intended for securing the tub to the frame of the washing machine and forming an anchoring system normally formed by a pair of parts and a spring therebetween on the inner part of the frame plate of the washing machine and the other on the corresponding tub supports, so that the spring, which is arranged between these two parts, together with them serves as a separating element between the tub and the frame; and another part outside the frame, the unit being secured by means of an axial through-bolt screwed into an opening formed in the tub for that purpose.

Solche Verankerungssysteme, bei denen zum Festellen einer Einheit diese Einheit mittels einer axialen Durchgangsschraube mit dem Rahmen befestigt wird, wobei die Durchgangsschraube durch ein zwischen der Einheit und einem Rahmen positioniertes Trennelement geführt wird, sind beispielsweise aus WO 02/44458 A1 , DE 198 52 129 A1 und DE 42 15 780 A1 bekannt. Darüber hinaus ist beispielsweise aus DE 199 14 370 A1 ein Verankerungssystem bekannt, welches Sicherungsstangen mit außenliegenden Nasen umfasst, mit welchen jeweils ein Formschluß zwischen den Stangen und der Einheit einerseits und zwischen den Stangen und dem Rahmen andererseits durch Drehung der Stangen herstellbar ist. Über die starre Stange wird somit das Feststellen der Einheit erzielt.Such anchoring systems in which, for securing a unit, this unit is secured to the frame by means of an axial through-bolt, the through-bolt being guided by a separator positioned between the unit and a frame, are for example out WO 02/44458 A1 . DE 198 52 129 A1 and DE 42 15 780 A1 known. In addition, for example, off DE 199 14 370 A1 an anchoring system known, which comprises locking bars with outer lugs, with each of which a positive engagement between the rods and the unit on the one hand and between the rods and the frame on the other hand by rotation of the rods can be produced. About the rigid rod thus the detection of the unit is achieved.

Wenn die Waschmaschine an ihrem endgültigen Standort montiert wird, müssen diese Verankerungs- oder Feststellungsmittel des Laugenbehälters entfernt werden, was logischerweise durch Entfernen der Schraube, die manchmal zusammen mit dem Rest der Einheit durch ein Schlüsselloch Im Rahmen entnehmbar ist, oder durch Fallenlassen der Trenneinheit ins Geräteinnere und späteres Herausnehmen dieser Teile unter Anheben des Unterbaus erfolgt.When the washing machine is mounted in its final location, these anchoring or securing means of the tub must be removed, which is logically achieved by removing the screw, which is sometimes removable together with the remainder of the unit through a keyhole in the frame, or by dropping the separation unit into the The interior of the unit and later removal of these parts is done by lifting the substructure.

BESCHREIBUNG DER ERFINDUNGDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Die Waschmaschine mit dem erfindungsgemäße Verankerungssystem weist eine Reihe von Besonderheiten auf, die es gestatten, die Nachteile und Probleme der gegenwärtigen Systeme zu bewältigen, wobei bei den Problemen die Tatsache zu nennen ist, daß die Gegenüberstellung der zwei Außenteile und der Feder, die die Trenneinheit ausbilden, zum Ermöglichen des Durchgangs der Befestigungsschraube schwer durchzuführen ist.The washing machine with the anchoring system according to the invention has a number of features that allow to overcome the disadvantages and problems of the current systems, the problems being the fact that the juxtaposition of the two outer parts and the spring, the separation unit is difficult to perform to enable the passage of the fastening screw.

Ein weiteres Problem, das gelöst wird, ist, daß die äußeren Stützteile und die Feder beim Abbauen und Abschrauben des Systems In das Waschmaschineninnere oder auf den Boden fallen, so daß das Gerät angehoben werden muß, oder daß, wenn sie durch das Schlüsselloch entnommen werden, diese Öffnung so groß sein muß, daß sie den Rahmen schwächt, und außerdem einen Verschluß von erheblicher Größe zum Verschließen der Öffnung erfordert, wenn die Trenneinheit oder das Verankerungssystem abgebaut sind.Another problem that is solved is that the outer support members and the spring when dismantling and unscrewing the system fall into the washing machine interior or on the ground, so that the device must be raised, or that if they are removed through the keyhole This opening must be large enough to weaken the frame and also require a closure of substantial size to close the opening when the separation unit or system is dismantled.

Ein weiteres Problem, das gelöst wird, betrifft die Anbringung der Elemente, die diese Trenneinheit oder dieses Verankerungssystem der gegenwärtigen Systeme bilden, wobei der Monteur zum Festhalten der Elemente und Durchführen und Einschrauben der Befestigungsschraube die Hand zwischen den Rahmen und den Laugenbehälter einführen muß, was mühsam und problematisch ist.Another problem to be solved concerns the attachment of the elements constituting this separation unit or anchoring system of the present systems, with the assembler holding the elements and Carrying out and screwing in the fastening screw must insert the hand between the frame and the tub, which is cumbersome and problematic.

Zur Lösung dieser Probleme stützt sich die Waschmaschine mit dem System der Erfindung darauf, daß am Innenteil des Blechs, das dem Waschmaschinenrahmen entspricht, ein Teil befestigt ist, das als Mutter wirkt und aus Kunststoff hergestellt und durch Klammerung am Rahmen befestigt sein kann bzw. aus Metall hergestellt und beispielsweise mittels Schweißverbindung befestigt sein kann, so daß dieses Teil, das als Mutter wirkt, in jedem Fall einen Gewindegang für ein Element aufweist, das als Trennstück zwischen dem Rahmen der Waschmaschine und dem entsprechenden Laugenbehälter wirkt, wobei dieses Trennelement durch eine Kunststoffhülse mit einem Gewindeabschnitt zur Schraubbefestigung an der Mutter, die am Rahmen befestigt ist, ausgebildet ist, wobei die Hülse das Element ist, durch das die Schraube laufen muß, die die Einheit durch Anschrauben derselben am Laugenbehälter befestigt.To solve these problems, the washing machine with the system of the invention is based on the fact that on the inner part of the sheet, which corresponds to the washing machine frame, a part is attached, which acts as a nut and made of plastic and can be attached by clamping on the frame or Made of metal and may for example be secured by welding, so that this part, which acts as a nut, in each case has a thread for a member acting as a separator between the frame of the washing machine and the corresponding tub, said separating element by a plastic sleeve is formed with a threaded portion for Schraubbefestigung to the mother, which is fixed to the frame, wherein the sleeve of the Element is through which the screw must run, which secures the unit by screwing it to the tub.

Das Kunststoff- oder Metallteil ist deswegen entweder durch Klammerung oder durch Schweißverbindung am Rahmen befestigt, damit das Teil beim Abbauen der Einheit in dieser Position verbleibt, um eine eventuelle, spätere Anbringung zu erleichtern, und auch um die anfängliche Anbringung zu erleichtern.The plastic or metal part is therefore attached to the frame either by clamping or by welding to keep the part in this position when the unit is dismounted, to facilitate eventual subsequent attachment, and also to facilitate initial attachment.

Das Trennelement kann durch eine Feder verwirklicht sein, die dieselbe Funktion wie die Hülse erfüllt.The separator may be realized by a spring that performs the same function as the sleeve.

Außerdem ist vorgesehen, daß das Teil, das als Mutter dient, einen Verschluß aufweist, der damit über eine kleine Zugstrebe oder ein kleines Bogenstück verbunden ist und das Verschließen der Öffnung ermöglicht, wenn die oben beschriebene Einheit des Verankerungssystems abgebaut ist.In addition, it is envisaged that the part serving as a nut has a closure connected thereto by a small tension strut or a small elbow and allows closure of the opening when the above-described unit of the anchoring system is dismantled.

Das Trennelement in Gestalt einer Kunststoffhülse oder einer Feder kann ganz einfach durch Schrauben der Mutter, die am Waschmaschinenrahmen befestigt ist, angebracht und abgebaut werden, mit der Besonderheit, daß sich bei einer Feder als Trennelement ihr äußeres Ende an ein Halteelement stützt, das zu diesem Zweck am Außenteil des Rahmens eingerichtet ist, wobei zwischen dessen äußerem Element und der Mutter das Blech des Rahmens angeordnet ist, wie es auch bei einer Kunststoffhülse als Trennelement der Fall ist, da diese in dieser Ausführungsform eine Art äußeres Kopfstück aufweist, wobei das Blech des Rahmens zwischen diesem und der Mutter angeordnet ist.The separator in the form of a plastic sleeve or a spring can be easily attached and removed by screwing the nut which is attached to the washing machine frame, with the peculiarity that supports a spring as a separating element, its outer end to a holding element that this Purpose is set up on the outer part of the frame, wherein between the outer member and the nut, the plate of the frame is arranged, as is the case with a plastic sleeve as a separating element, since in this embodiment has a kind of outer head piece, wherein the sheet metal of the Frame is arranged between this and the mother.

All dies weist den Vorteil auf, die Montage zu erleichtern, da sie von der Außenseite des Geräts in der Fertigungslinie selbst oder jederzeit zum ordentlichen Festhalten des Laugenbehälters ausgeführt werden kann, wenn es erwünscht ist, das Gerät zu transportieren.All this has the advantage of facilitating assembly since it can be carried out from the outside of the device in the production line itself or at any time for proper retention of the tub when it is desired to transport the device.
