Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Federlager für eine Federöse einer Feder an einem Bauteil, Rahmen oder dergleichen.The invention relates to a spring bearing for a spring eye of a spring on a component, frame or the like.

Bei einem Federlager, und hier insbesondere im Ösenbereich der Feder, ergibt sich das Problem, dass die Federöse auf einem Bolzen oder einer Welle gelagert wird, wobei bei entsprechender Beanspruchung der Feder, auch unter einer Neigung, nicht nur im Lagerungspunkt Verschleißerscheinungen auftreten, sondern es treten hierbei auch akustische Erscheinungen auf.In a spring bearing, and here in particular in Ösenbereich the spring, there is the problem that the spring eye is mounted on a bolt or a shaft, with appropriate stress on the spring, even under a slope, not only wear in the bearing point, but it In this case also appear acoustic phenomena.

Aus der JP 58 000261 A ist ein Federlager für eine Federöse einer Feder bekannt. Hierbei ist ein Kunststoffformteil in einer Mulde in einer Abkantung eines Rahmens oder Gehäuseteils angeordnet, in dem eine gebogene Nut zur Aufnahme der als Haken ausgebildeten Federöse vorgesehen ist. Durch diese Anordnung kann die Federöse nicht geneigt werden, so dass bei einer entsprechenden Beanspruchung mit erhöhtem Verschleiß zu rechnen ist.From the JP 58 000261 A is known a spring bearing for a spring eye of a spring. Here, a plastic molded part is arranged in a recess in a fold of a frame or housing part, in which a curved groove for receiving the hook formed as a spring eye is provided. By this arrangement, the spring eyelet can not be inclined, so that is to be expected at a corresponding stress with increased wear.

Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem, ein Federlager für eine Öse an einem Bauteil oder einem Rahmen derart weiter zu bilden, welches die beschriebenen Nachteile überwindet und hier insbesondere die Verschleißerscheinungen und/oder die Akustik-Erscheinungen im Lagerpunkt unterbindet.The invention thus raises the problem of further developing a spring bearing for an eyelet on a component or a frame in such a way that overcomes the described disadvantages and in particular prevents the signs of wear and / or the acoustic phenomena in the bearing point.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst, vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.According to the invention, this problem is solved by the features of claim 1, advantageous embodiments and modifications of the invention will become apparent from the following subclaims.

Das Federlager als solches wird gemäß der Erfindung aus einem Kunststoffformteil gebildet, in dem einerseits eine gebogene Nut zur Aufnahme der als Haken ausgebildeten Federöse vorgesehen ist, und wobei das Kunststoffformteil andererseits eine eingeformte Wellenauflage aufweist, die vorzugsweise mit einer kurbelartigen Welle zusammenwirkt, die wiederum an dem Bauteil schwenkbar gelagert ist. Das erfindungsgemäße Kunststoffformteil unterbindet somit einen Kontakt von Federöse zum Bauteil bzw. zum Rahmen an dem die Feder angebracht ist. Die erzwungene Schwenkbewegung bei einer Beanspruchung der Feder unter einer Neigung erfolgt gegenüber dem Bauteil oder dem Rahmen über die kurbelartige Welle, so dass die Reiberscheinungen auf eine Minimum beschränkt werden.The spring bearing as such is formed according to the invention of a plastic molding in which on the one hand a curved groove for receiving the hook formed as spring eye is provided, and wherein the plastic molded part on the other hand has a molded shaft support, which preferably cooperates with a crank-like shaft, in turn is pivotally mounted to the component. The plastic molding according to the invention thus prevents contact of spring eye to the component or to the frame on which the spring is mounted. The forced pivoting movement when the spring is subjected to an inclination against the component or the frame via the crank-like shaft, so that the friction phenomena are kept to a minimum.

Ein derartiges Federlager besitzt die hinreichenden Freiheitsgrade für eine Feder, die insbesondere bei Haushaltgeräten wie Waschautomaten zum Einsatz kommen. Das heißt, die Feder kann quer zu der Nut verschwenkt werden. Ein Verdrehen der Feder in Längsrichtung zur Nut ist nicht möglich. In diese Richtung wird durch die besondere Form des Kunststoffformteils eine Relativbewegung unterdrückt. Sollte eine solche Bewegung über die Feder erzwungen werden, findet die Relativbewegung zwischen der Welle und dem Bauteil statt.Such a spring bearing has the sufficient degrees of freedom for a spring, which are used in particular in household appliances such as washing machines. That is, the spring can be pivoted transversely to the groove. A twisting of the spring in the longitudinal direction of the groove is not possible. In this direction, a relative movement is suppressed by the special shape of the plastic molded part. Should such a movement be forced by the spring, the relative movement takes place between the shaft and the component.

Hierzu schließt zur Verdrehsicherung des Kunststoffformteils in der als Haken ausgebildeten Federöse sich zur einen Seite an die Nut eine Anlagefläche an, die entsprechend an den geraden Abschnitt der Federöse im eingesetzten Zustand ausgerichtet ist. Zur anderen Seite der Nut schließt sich eine Anlagefläche an, die entsprechend der Erstreckung der freien Haken ausgebildet ist. Somit wird quasi das Kunststoffformteil von der hakenförmigen Federöse eingefasst und es wird in einer Zwangslage gehalten.To this end, to prevent rotation of the plastic molded part in the form of a hook spring eyelet includes on one side to the groove a contact surface, which is aligned in accordance with the straight portion of the spring eye in the inserted state. To the other side of the groove is followed by a contact surface, which is formed according to the extension of the free hooks. Thus, the plastic molding is quasi edged by the hook-shaped spring eyelet and it is held in a predicament.

In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung schließt sich an die Anlagefläche für die Haken ein gebogener Ansatz an, der bis in die Ebene der Anlagefläche für den geraden Abschnitt der Federöse ragt. Somit ergibt sich einerseits ein Montageschlitz für die Wellenauflage, und andererseits eine zusätzliche Abstützung für die geraden Abschnitte der Federöse. Die Nut weist eine V-förmige Profilierung auf, wobei an den Nutwänden jeweils Ohrensegmente angeformt sind. In Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind an dem gebogenen Ansatz die Auflageflächen für die Hakenenden der Federöse angeformt.In an advantageous development, a curved projection adjoins the contact surface for the hook, which protrudes into the plane of the contact surface for the straight section of the spring eye. Thus, on the one hand results in a mounting slot for the shaft support, and on the other hand, an additional support for the straight portions of the spring eye. The groove has a V-shaped profiling, wherein on the groove walls each ear segments are formed. In a further development of the invention, the bearing surfaces for the hook ends of the spring eye are formed on the curved approach.

An embodiment of the invention is shown purely schematically in the drawings and will be described in more detail below. Show it:
FIG. 1:

FIG. 2:
a sectional side view of a washing machine with a tilting device for the drum; in which a possible use for the spring bearing according to the invention is given;
FIG. 3:

FIG. 4:
another perspective view in another direction according to the FIG. 3 ,

Die Figur 1 zeigt in der Perspektive ein Kunststoffformteil 1, welches ein Federlager 2 für eine Federöse 3 an einem Bauteil oder an einem Rahmen 4, wie beispielsweise in der Figur 2 dargestellt, eines Waschautomaten bildet. Wie aus der perspektivischen Darstellung der Figur 1 ersichtlich, umfasst das Kunststoffformteil 1 einerseits eine gebogene Nut 5 zur Aufnahme der als Haken 6 ausgebildeten Federöse 3, und andererseits eine eingeformte Wellenauflage 7, die vorzugsweise mit einer kurbelartigen Welle 8, wie dies insbesondere in der Figur 3 und 4 dargestellt ist, zusammenwirkt. Die kurbelartige Welle 8 ist dabei mit ihren Ansätzen 9 und 10 an dem Rahmen 4 des in der Figur 2 abgebildeten Waschautomaten schwenkbar gelagert.The FIG. 1 shows in perspective a plastic molding 1, which is a spring bearing 2 for a spring eye 3 on a component or on a frame 4, such as in the FIG. 2 represented, a washing machine forms. As seen from the perspective view of FIG. 1 can be seen, the plastic molded part 1 comprises on the one hand a curved groove 5 for receiving the hook 6 formed as a spring eye 3, and on the other hand, a molded shaft support 7, preferably with a crank-like shaft 8, as shown in particular FIGS. 3 and 4 is shown, cooperates. The crank-like shaft 8 is with their lugs 9 and 10 on the frame 4 in the FIG. 2 pictured washing machine pivotally mounted.

Um eine Verdrehsicherung zwischen der Federöse 3 und dem Kunststoffformteil 1 herzustellen, schließt sich zur einen Seite an die Nut 5 eine Anlagefläche 11 an, die entsprechend an den geraden Abschnitt 12 der Federöse 3 im eingesetzten Zustand, wie in der Figur 3 dargestellt, ausgerichtet ist. Die entsprechende Einbindung der als Haken 6 ausgebildeten Federöse 3, wie es in der Figur 4 dargestellt ist, erstreckt sich auf der anderen Seite der Nut 5 an eine weitere Anlagefläche 13, die entsprechend der freien Enden 14 der Haken 6 ausgerichtet ist. Es versteht sich nun von selbst, dass, wenn die Haken 6 der Federöse 3 sich in die Nut 5 einlegen, die Nut 5 beidseitig von den Haken 6 eingefasst wird, so dass eine Relativbewegung von Haken 6 zu Kunststoffformteil 1 nicht stattfinden kann, weil die Anlageflächen 11 und 13 dies verhindern.In order to produce an anti-rotation between the spring eye 3 and the plastic molded part 1, closes on the one side to the groove 5, a contact surface 11, corresponding to the straight portion 12 of the spring eye 3 in the inserted state, as in the FIG. 3 shown, is aligned. The corresponding involvement of trained as a hook 6 spring eye 3, as shown in the FIG. 4 is shown extends on the other side of the groove 5 to a further contact surface 13 which is aligned according to the free ends 14 of the hook 6. It goes without saying that when the hooks 6 of the spring lug 3 insert into the groove 5, the groove 5 is enclosed on both sides of the hook 6, so that a relative movement of hook 6 to plastic molding 1 can not take place because the Contact surfaces 11 and 13 prevent this.

Wie aus der Figur 1, aber auch aus der Figur 3 zu erkennen ist, schließt sich an die Anlagefläche 13 für die Haken 6 ein gebogener Ansatz 15 an, der bis in die Ebene der Anlagefläche 11 für den geraden Abschnitt 12 der Federöse 3 ragt. Es versteht sich weiter von selbst, dass, wenn das Kunststoffformteil 1 auf der kurbelartigen Welle 8 aufgeklipst ist, und der Haken 6 in die Nut 5 eingehängt wird, das Kunststoffformteil 1 verdrehsicher zur Federöse 3 gehalten wird, weil die Anlageflächen 11 und 13 vom dem Haken 6 umgriffen werden.Like from the FIG. 1 , but also from the FIG. 3 can be seen, is followed by the contact surface 13 for the hooks 6 a curved projection 15, which extends into the plane of the contact surface 11 for the straight portion 12 of the spring lug 3. It goes without saying that when the plastic molded part 1 is clipped onto the crank-like shaft 8, and the hook 6 is hooked into the groove 5, the plastic molded part 1 is held against rotation to the spring eye 3, because the contact surfaces 11 and 13 of the Hook 6 are encompassed.

Wie aus der Figur 1 zu erkennen ist, weist die Nut 5 eine V-förmige Profilierung auf, wobei an den Nutwänden jeweils Ohrensegmente 16 und 17 angeformt sind. Zur Stabillage insbesondere der Hakenenden ist an dem gebogenen Ansatz 15 eine Auflagefläche 18 für die Hakenenden der Federöse 3 angeformt.Like from the FIG. 1 can be seen, the groove 5 has a V-shaped profiling, wherein on the groove walls each ear segments 16 and 17 are integrally formed. For Stabillage in particular the hook ends a support surface 18 is formed for the hook ends of the spring lug 3 on the curved projection 15.

Die Figur 2 verdeutlicht einmal die Wirkungsweise sowie ein mögliches Einsatzgebiet des erfindungsgemäßen Kunststoffformteils 1. Daraus ist zu erkennen, dass insbesondere an dem Rahmen 4 die Federösen 3 befestigt sind, wobei die Federösen 3 nun mit dem Kunststoffformteil 1 ausgerüstet sind, die wiederum mit der kurbelartigen Welle 8 in Wirkverbindung stehen. Die Ansätze 9 und 10 sind an dem Rahmen 4 schwenkbar gelagert. Wird nun die Trommel 19 in eine geneigte Stellung verbracht, wie gezeigt, so verhindern die erfindungsgemäßen Kunststoffformteile 1, dass ein Verschleiß sowie auch insbesondere akustische Erscheinungen auftreten.The FIG. 2 It can be seen that in particular on the frame 4, the spring eyes 3 are fixed, the spring eyes 3 are now equipped with the plastic molded part 1, which in turn with the crank-like shaft 8 in Active compound stand. The lugs 9 and 10 are pivotally mounted on the frame 4. If the drum 19 is now moved into an inclined position, as shown, the plastic moldings 1 according to the invention prevent wear and especially acoustic phenomena.

Zu den Figuren 3 und 4 ist noch anzumerken, dass die im Schnitt dargestellte Wellenauflage 7 eine Verengung des Durchmessers aufweist, so dass eine Klipsfunktion zu realisieren ist. Das Kunststoffformteil 1 wird montiert, in dem die Welle 8 durch die Aussparung geführt wird, und das Kunststoffformteil 1 auf die Welle 8 geklipst wird und somit gehalten wird.To the FIGS. 3 and 4 It should also be noted that the shaft support 7 shown in section has a narrowing of the diameter, so that a Klipsfunktion is to be realized. The plastic molded part 1 is mounted, in which the shaft 8 is guided through the recess, and the plastic molded part 1 is clipped onto the shaft 8 and thus held.

Die Montageöffnung ist so ausgestaltet, dass sie sich zum Zwecke der einfachen Montage nach innen verjüngt. Bei der Montage des Kunststoffformteils 1 auf einer Kurbelwelle 8 bzw. gekröpften Welle muss sichergestellt werden, dass das Kunststoffformteil 1 beim Einwirken von Querkräften nicht von der Welle 8 gezogen werden kann. Die Montageöffnung ist aus dem Grunde nicht gerade ausgeführt. Die geraden Schenkel der Kurbelwelle 8 stoßen somit unabhängig von ihrer Stellung stets vor die Vorder- oder Rückseite des Kunststoffformteils 1. Der Querschnitt der Nut 5, in die die Federöse 3 eingelegt wird, muss so gestaltet sein, dass eine Schwenkbewegung der Feder zugelassen wird. In der Mitte der Öse 3 ist ein Mindestradius des Querschnittes der Nut 5 entsprechend der Drahtstärke der Feder erforderlich. Dieser Radius muss selbstverständlich zu den Seiten hin anwachsen. Die Ohren 16 und 17 des Kunststoffformteils erleichtern zum einen die Montage der Feder und verhindern ein Abspringen der Feder im Stoßfall, wenn keine Federkräfte mehr wirken.The mounting aperture is configured to taper inwardly for ease of assembly. When mounting the plastic molded part 1 on a crankshaft 8 or cranked shaft must be ensured that the plastic molded part 1 can not be pulled by the shaft 8 when acting on lateral forces. The mounting hole is not straight made for the reason. The straight legs of the crankshaft 8 thus encounter regardless of their position always in front of the front or back of the plastic molded part 1. The cross section the groove 5, in which the spring eye 3 is inserted, must be designed so that a pivoting movement of the spring is allowed. In the middle of the eyelet 3, a minimum radius of the cross section of the groove 5 corresponding to the wire thickness of the spring is required. Of course, this radius must grow to the sides. The ears 16 and 17 of the plastic molding on the one hand facilitate the assembly of the spring and prevent springing off of the spring in the event of shock, when no spring forces act more.
