Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spring bearing for a spring eye of a spring on a component, frame or the like.
  • a spring bearing for a spring eye of a spring is known.
  • 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.
  • the spring eyelet can not be inclined, so that is to be expected at a corresponding stress with increased wear.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a hook spring eyelet 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.
  • the plastic molding is quasi edged by the hook-shaped spring eyelet and it is held in a predicament.
  • 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.
  • the groove has a V-shaped profiling, wherein on the groove walls each ear segments are formed.
  • the bearing surfaces for the hook ends of the spring eye are formed on the curved approach.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the groove 5 has a V-shaped profiling, wherein on the groove walls each ear segments 16 and 17 are integrally formed.
  • a support surface 18 is formed for the hook ends of the spring lug 3 on the curved projection 15.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the mounting aperture is configured to taper inwardly for ease of assembly.
  • 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.
  • 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.
