Description

Verfahren zur Befestigung der Trommel einer Waschmaschine und Process for fastening the drum of a washing machine and
Befestigung dafürAttachment for it
GEGENSTAND DER ERFINDUNGOBJECT OF THE INVENTION
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Befestigung der Rückwand einer Trommel einer Waschmaschine an einem Tragstern, an dem die Trommel über eine Achse drehbar gelagert ist und eine Befestigung, die mithilfe des Verfahrens erzielt wird. Sie hat zur Aufgabe, die Befestigung mit Merkmalen bereitzustellen, die das Aushalten größerer Belastungen beim Drehen der Trommel ermöglichen, vor allem bei Waschmaschinen, die mit hohen Geschwindigkeiten schleudern.The invention relates to a method for fastening the rear wall of a drum of a washing machine to a supporting star, on which the drum is rotatably mounted about an axis, and to a fastening which is achieved using the method. Its task is to provide the attachment with features that can withstand greater loads when turning the drum, especially in washing machines that spin at high speeds.
ALLGEMEINER STAND DER TECHNIKGENERAL PRIOR ART
Es ist bekannt, dass Trommeln von Waschmaschinen mit Drehmöglichkeit im Inneren eines Behälters angeordnet sind, wozu sie an einer Halterung (Tragstern genannt) befestigt sind, die mit einer Drehachse fest verbunden ist, die durch einen geeigneten Motor angetrieben wird. Der Tragstern ist sternförmig gestaltet, und seine Halterungsarme sind an der Trommel befestigt. Eine bekannte Ausführungsform zur Befestigung der Halterungsarme an der Trommel sieht vor, die Enden der Halterungsarme an einem umfänglichen Vorsprung zu verschrauben, der an der Rückwand der Trommel gebildet ist.It is known that drums of washing machines with the possibility of rotation are arranged inside a container, for which purpose they are fastened to a holder (called a star) which is fixedly connected to an axis of rotation which is driven by a suitable motor. The support star is star-shaped and its support arms are attached to the drum. A known embodiment for fastening the holding arms to the drum provides for the ends of the holding arms to be screwed to a circumferential projection which is formed on the rear wall of the drum.
Gegenwärtig hat man sich dafür entschieden, statt der Schraubverbindungen an dem umfänglichen Vorsprung das Ende jedes Halterungsarms des Tragsterns an der Rückwand der Trommel selbst und mithilfe einer metallischen Verstärkungsplatte zu vernieten, womit der Verbund zur Halterung der Trommel hergestellt ist. BESCHREIBUNG DER ERFINDUNGAt present, it has been decided to rivet the end of each support arm of the support star to the rear wall of the drum itself and with the aid of a metal reinforcement plate, instead of the screw connections on the circumferential projection, with which the connection for holding the drum is produced. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Diese bekannten Halterungsarten weisen Nachteile auf. Im ersten Fall werden die Belastungen, die beim Drehen der Trommel mit hohen Geschwindigkeiten auftreten, durch die Punkte aufgenommen, an denen die Verbindung des Endes der Halterungsarme mit dem umfänglichen Vorsprung der Trommel hergestellt ist. Dies kann - insbesondere bei hohen Schleuderdrehzahlen - Risse in der Trommel hervorrufen, oder die Halterungspunkte können den Belastungen bei hohen Drehzahlen selbst nicht standhalten.These known types of brackets have disadvantages. In the first case, the stresses encountered when rotating the drum at high speeds are absorbed by the points at which the end of the support arms connects to the peripheral projection of the drum. This can cause cracks in the drum, especially at high spin speeds, or the mounting points cannot withstand the loads at high speeds themselves.
Im zweiten Fall sind die notwendigen metallischen Verstärkungsplatten Ursache für hohe Kosten der Befestigungart. Außerdem ist lediglich eine Befestigung für jeden der Halterungsarme des Tragstems vorhanden, wodurch trotz der Verstärkung durch die Verstärkungsplatte die Halterungspunkte für mit hohen Schleudergeschwindigkeiten drehende Trommeln nicht fest genug sind.In the second case, the necessary metal reinforcement plates are the cause of the high costs of the type of fastening. In addition, there is only one attachment for each of the support arms of the support stem, whereby the support points are not strong enough for drums rotating at high spin speeds despite the reinforcement by the reinforcement plate.
Um die vorstehend genannten Nachteile zu beseitigen, hat die Erfindung zur Aufgabe, ein neues Befestigungsverfahren für die Trommel einer Waschmaschine zu entwickeln, bei dem der Tragstern für die Drehachse und ihre Befestigung billiger aber dennoch stabiler ist.In order to eliminate the disadvantages mentioned above, the object of the invention is to develop a new fastening method for the drum of a washing machine, in which the support star for the axis of rotation and its fastening is cheaper but nevertheless more stable.
Das Verfahren gemäß der Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe dadurch, dass die Rückwand der Trommel am Tragstern an mehreren Öffnungen des Tragsterns mit unterschiedlich großen Eingangs- und Ausgangsdurchmessern befestigt wird, indem für jede Öffnung eine Düse aus dem Blech der Rückwand der Trommel so in die zugeordnete Öffnung durch den Eingang mit dem kleineren Durchmesser gezogen wird, dass danach die Düse gegen die Wände der Öffnung hin erweitert wird, die den Größenunterschied zwischen den Eingangs- und Ausgangsdurchmessern der Öffnung festlegen.The method according to the invention achieves this object in that the rear wall of the drum is attached to the support star at a plurality of openings of the support star with differently sized inlet and outlet diameters, in that for each opening a nozzle made from the sheet metal of the rear wall of the drum is inserted into the associated opening is drawn through the smaller diameter entrance, then the nozzle is extended towards the walls of the opening which define the size difference between the entrance and exit diameters of the opening.
Das Verfahren der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die bezeichnete Verformung der bereits gezogenen Düse durch den Einsatz eines Presswerkzeugs ausgeführt wird, indem das Presswerkzeug mit einer zur Kegelstumpffläche der späteren Düsenform passenden Ergänzungsfläche durch das größere Loch und den oberen Teil der Düse geführt wird und gegen die Innenseite der Düse drückt, wodurch ihre endgültige Form erreicht wird.The method of the invention provides that the designated deformation of the nozzle already drawn by the use of a pressing tool is carried out by passing the pressing tool with a complementary surface matching the truncated cone surface of the later nozzle shape through the larger hole and the upper part of the nozzle and pressing it against the inside of the nozzle, thereby achieving its final shape.
Das Verfahren der Erfindung ist auf jegliche Gestaltung des Tragsterns anwendbar. Da dieser jedoch herkömmlicherweise eine Sternform aufweist, sieht das Verfahren der Erfindung vor, dass in jedem Halterungsarm des Sterns zumindest eine Öffnung für e ine D üse i n d er Trommelrückwand vorgesehen ist.The method of the invention is applicable to any configuration of the support star. However, since this conventionally has a star shape, the method of the invention provides that at least one opening for a nozzle in the drum rear wall is provided in each mounting arm of the star.
Bei einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung weisen die Wände der Öffnung, gegen welche die entsprechende Düse der Trommel drückt, eine Fläche auf, die sich in Richtung auf das obere Ende der Düse erweitert, so dass sich beim Verformen der Düse diese in Richtung auf die genannte Fläche öffnet und gegen die Fläche drückt. Dadurch wird die Befestigung zwischen dem Tragstern und der Trommel hergestellt.In one embodiment of the invention, the walls of the opening, against which the corresponding nozzle of the drum presses, have a surface which widens in the direction of the upper end of the nozzle, so that when the nozzle is deformed, the latter widens in the direction of said surface opens and presses against the surface. This creates the attachment between the support star and the drum.
Die Erweiterung der Wände der Öffnung, gegen die die Düse drückt, kann jegliche Gestalt annehmen. Bei der bevorzugten Ausführungsform hat sie eine kegelstumpfförmige Gestalt, vorzugsweise in ihrer von der Düse bestimmten Gesamtheit.The enlargement of the walls of the opening against which the nozzle presses can take any shape. In the preferred embodiment it has a frusto-conical shape, preferably in its entirety determined by the nozzle.
Es g ibt a uch d ie M öglichkeit, d ass d ie Wände d er Öffnung, welche d en Größenunterschied zwischen den Eingangs- und Ausgangsdurchmessern festlegen und gegen die die jeweilige Düse der Trommel drückt, zumindest eine Abstufung enthalten, an die sich die Düse beim Verformen und Drücken anpasst.There is also the possibility that the walls of the opening, which define the size difference between the inlet and outlet diameters and against which the respective nozzle of the drum presses, contain at least one gradation to which the nozzle is attached adapts when deforming and pressing.
Eine weitere Ausführungsform enthält im kegelstumpfförmigen Bereich der Öffnung mehrere Abstufungen, um die Trommel noch sicherer zu befestigen. Ersichtlich kann in jedem Halterungsarm des Tragsterns eine so große Anzahl von Löchern enthalten sein, die den Anforderungen an die Trommel j e n ach d er g ewünschten S chleudergeschwindigkeit a ngepasst ist, und auf diese Weise die Befestigung an verschiedenen Punkten der Halterungsarme erfolgen.Another embodiment contains several steps in the frustoconical area of the opening in order to secure the drum even more securely. Obviously, there can be such a large number of holes in each support arm of the support star, which is adapted to the requirements of the drum according to the desired centrifugal speed, and in this way the attachment to different points of the support arms.
Außerdem sieht das Verfahren gemäß der Erfindung die Möglichkeit vor, zumindest in einem Bereich der Halterungsarme zumindest eine seitliche Verbreiterung hinzuzufügen, in der zumindest eine Öffnung angebracht ist, in der eine entsprechende Düse der Trommel festgehalten wird. In Falle der Ausbildung des Tragsterns als sternförmiges Bauteil wird an den seitlichen Enden jedes Halterungsarms mindestens je eine seitliche Verbreiterung angeordnet.In addition, the method according to the invention provides the possibility of adding at least one lateral widening, at least in a region of the holding arms, in which at least one opening is made, in which a corresponding nozzle of the drum is held. In the case of the design of the support star as a star-shaped component, at least one lateral widening is arranged at the lateral ends of each mounting arm.
Das Verfahren der Erfindung kann vorsehen, dass die Düse der Trommel mithilfe eines Eindrückverfahrens ausgeführt wird.The method of the invention can provide that the nozzle of the drum is carried out using an indentation method.
Die mithilfe des Verfahrens der Erfindung erhaltene Befestigung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Tragstern mehrere Öffnungen mit unterschiedlichen Eingangs- und Ausgangsdurchmessern aufweist, in denen jeweils vom kleineren Eingangsdurchmesser her eine Düse eingeführt ist, die aus der Rückwand der Trommel gezogen ist derart, dass die Düse zumindest gegen denjenigen Bereich der Wände der Öffnung drückt, welche die Unterschiede zwischen den Eingangs- und Ausgangsdurchmessern festlegen.The fastening obtained by means of the method of the invention is characterized in that the support star has a plurality of openings with different inlet and outlet diameters, in each of which a nozzle is inserted from the smaller inlet diameter, which is pulled out of the rear wall of the drum such that the nozzle presses at least against that area of the walls of the opening which defines the differences between the inlet and outlet diameters.
Die Wände der Öffnung des Tragsterns, mit denen die Befestigung ausgeführt ist, sowie der Tragstern selbst und die Trommel weisen die Merkmale auf, die bereits im Verfahren gemäß der Erfindung beschrieben wurden.The walls of the opening of the support star with which the fastening is carried out, as well as the support star itself and the drum have the features which have already been described in the method according to the invention.

In den Figuren ist teilweise eine Trommel 1 und ein Tragstern 2 dargestellt. Da dies notorisch bekannte Elemente sind, wurde auf eine komplette Darstellung aller dieser Elemente verzichtet.A drum 1 and a supporting star 2 are partially shown in the figures. Since these are notoriously known elements, all of these elements have not been shown in full.
Die Trommel 1 wird auf der Außenseite ihrer Rückwand an den Halterungsarmen 3 des Tragsterns 2 befestigt, der sternförmig ausgebildet ist.The drum 1 is fastened on the outside of its rear wall to the mounting arms 3 of the support star 2, which is star-shaped.
Der Tragstern 2 ist seinerseits mit einer Welle 4 fest verbunden, die mit einem nicht dargestellten Antriebsmotor in Verbindung steht, um die Drehung d er Trommel 1 i n einem nicht dargestellten Laugenbehälter z u erzeugen.The support star 2 is in turn firmly connected to a shaft 4 which is connected to a drive motor (not shown) in order to generate the rotation of the drum 1 in a tub (not shown).
Die Rückwand der Trommel 1 ist mit einer Nutung 5 in Sternform versehen, in der sich die Halterungsarme 3 des Tragsterns 2 befinden. Eine der Befestigungen, die herkömmlicherweise zum Verbinden der Enden der Halterungsarme 3 des Tragsterns 2 mit der Trommel 1 zur Anwendung kommt, besteht darin, einen Niet 11 (Figur 4 und 5) mithilfe einer Zwischenlage einer Metallplatte 12 anzubringen, die die Verbindung verstärkt, wie oben anhand des Standes der Technik als für Waschmaschinen, die mit einer sehr hohen Geschwindigkeit schleudern, unzulänglich bezeichnet. Daher schlägt die Erfindung eine alternative oder ergänzende Befestigung zu der auf herkömmliche Weise hergestellten Befestigung vor, wozu in jedem Halterungsarm 3 des Tragsterns 2 zumindest eine Öffnung 6 mit kegelstumpfförmigen Seitenwänden ausgeführt ist, die einen Eingang mit größerem Durchmesser als der Ausgang festlegen.The rear wall of the drum 1 is provided with a groove 5 in a star shape, in which the mounting arms 3 of the support star 2 are located. One of the fixings conventionally used to connect the ends of the support arms 3 of the support star 2 to the drum 1 is to attach a rivet 11 (Figures 4 and 5) by means of an intermediate layer of a metal plate 12 which reinforces the connection, such as referred to above in relation to the state of the art as inadequate for washing machines which spin at a very high speed. The invention therefore proposes an alternative or supplementary fastening to the fastening produced in a conventional manner, for which purpose at least one opening 6 with frustoconical side walls is formed in each mounting arm 3 of the support star 2, which define an inlet with a larger diameter than the outlet.
Beim Ausführungsbeispiel sind zwei Öffnungen für jeweils einen der Halterungsarme ausgeführt, es besteht jedoch die Möglichkeit, eine einzelne Öffnung oder mehr als zwei anzuordnen, je nach der durch die Schleudergeschwindigkeit hervorgerufenen Belastung der Trommel. An der Rückwand der Trommel 1 und der Zahl der Öffnungen 6 sind ein oder mehrere Düsen 8 angeordnet, die nach außen vorstehen, so dass die jeweilige Düse 8 in der Öffnung 6 untergebracht werden kann, wie in Figur 3a gezeigt. Die Düse 8 kann durch Eindrücken oder Einziehen von der Innenseite der Rückwand der Trommel 1 her erzeugt werden.In the exemplary embodiment, two openings are made for each of the holding arms, but it is possible to arrange a single opening or more than two, depending on the load on the drum caused by the spin speed. On the rear wall of the drum 1 and the number of openings 6 there are one or more nozzles 8 which protrude outwards so that the respective nozzle 8 can be accommodated in the opening 6, as shown in FIG. 3a. The nozzle 8 can be produced by pushing in or pulling in from the inside of the rear wall of the drum 1.
Wenn die Düse 8 in die Öffnung 6 eingeführt ist, wird ein Durchtreiber 9 durch die Außenseite (größerer Durchmesser) der Öffnung 6 eingeführt, wobei der Durchtreiber 9 eine kegelstumpfförmige Mantelfläche aufweist, die der kegelstumpfförmigen Fläche 7 der Öffnung 6 entspricht. Beim Senken des Durchtreibers 9 dringt sein unteres Ende in die Düse 8 ein, so dass sich die Düse 8 erweitert, bis sie gegen die kegelstumpfförmigen Wände 7 der Öffnung 6 drückt (Figur 3c), so dass beim Entfernen des Durchtreibers 9 (Figur 3d) die Befestigung der Trommel 1 am Tragstern 2 vollzogen ist. Auf diese Weise wird eine Befestigung mit mehreren Halterungspunkten erzielt, die sich die Belastung teilen, wodurch eine größere Beständigkeit gewährleistet ist.When the nozzle 8 is inserted into the opening 6, a puncturer 9 is inserted through the outside (larger diameter) of the opening 6, the puncturer 9 having a frustoconical surface which corresponds to the frustoconical surface 7 of the opening 6. When the drive-through 9 is lowered, its lower end penetrates into the nozzle 8, so that the nozzle 8 widens until it presses against the frustoconical walls 7 of the opening 6 (FIG. 3c), so that when the drive-through 9 (FIG. 3d) is removed the drum 1 is attached to the support star 2. In this way, an attachment is achieved with multiple mounting points that share the load, which ensures greater durability.
In der kegelstumpfförmigen Wand 7 kann eine Abstufung (in den Figuren nicht dargestellt) enthalten sein. In diesem Fall muss der Durchtreiber 9 eine entsprechende Abstufung beinhalten, um den korrekten und möglichst ganzflächigen Druck hinsichtlich der Düse 8 gegen die Wände der Öffnung ausüben zu können.A gradation (not shown in the figures) can be contained in the frustoconical wall 7. In this case, the punch 9 must contain a corresponding gradation in order to be able to exert the correct pressure over the entire area of the nozzle 8 against the walls of the opening.
Außerdem sieht die Erfindung vor, dass - falls gewünscht - für größere Belastungen jeweilige Verbreiterungen 10 an den Enden der Halterungsarme 3 des Tragsterns vorgesehen sein können, in denen zumindest eine Öffnung 6 enthalten ist, um die Befestigung gemäß der Erfindung auszuführen, wobei außerdem eine herkömmliche Verbindung mithilfe des oben schon besprochenen Niets 11 vorgesehen sein kann. In addition, the invention provides that, if desired, respective extensions 10 can be provided for larger loads at the ends of the support arms 3 of the support star, in which at least one opening 6 is contained in order to carry out the fastening according to the invention, a conventional one also Connection can be provided using the rivet 11 already discussed above.
