Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Halterung eines Heizkörpers in Trommelwaschmaschinen, wobei der als Rohrschlange ausgebildete Heizkörper von außen durch eine Öffnung in den Laugenbehälter einsetzbar ist, und wobei für das freie Ende der Rohrschlange innen am Laugenbehältermantel ein Halteelement vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a device for mounting a radiator in drum washing machines, wherein the trained as a pipe coil heater can be inserted from the outside through an opening in the tub, and wherein a retaining element is provided for the free end of the coil inside the tub jacket.

Bei Trommelwaschmaschinen ist es bekannt, den Heizkörper von außen her durch eine Öffnung in der Laugenbehälterkappe in den Bereich zwischen dem Laugenbehältermantel und dem Trommelmantel einzuschieben. Das freie Ende des als Rohrschlange ausgebildeten Heizkörpers wird über Halteelemente an der Behälterrand festgelegt. Dadurch erlangt der Heizkörper eine Stabillage in der Lauge.In drum washing machines, it is known to insert the radiator from the outside through an opening in the tub container cap in the area between the tub tank jacket and the drum shell. The free end of the heater designed as a tube coil is determined by holding elements on the container edge. As a result, the radiator acquires a Stabillage in the liquor.

So ist aus dem Stand der Technik, beispielsweise aus der DE 198 44 568 C1 oder der DE 41 12 230 A1 eine derartige Vorrichtung zur Halterung eines Heizkörpers in einer Trommelwaschmaschine bekannt. Dabei wird die Rohrschlange einerseits von der durchdringenden Öffnung und andererseits durch das an der Laugenbehältermantelwand angeordnete Halteelement festgelegt. Die in der Druckschrift des Standes der Technik offenbarte Vorrichtung zur Halterung des Heizkörpers ist insbesondere für Laugenbehälter bestimmt, die aus einem metallischen Werkstoff gefertigt sind.So is from the prior art, for example from the DE 198 44 568 C1 or the DE 41 12 230 A1 Such a device for holding a radiator in a drum washing machine known. In this case, the coil is determined on the one hand by the penetrating opening and on the other hand by the holding element arranged on the tub wall jacket wall. The disclosed in the document of the prior art device for holding the radiator is particularly intended for tubs, which are made of a metallic material.

Aus der DE 197 48 704 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Halterung eines Heizkörpers in Trommelwaschmaschinen bekannt, die ein am Boden des Laugenbehälters befestigtes Trägerblech umfasst. Aus diesem Blech sind senkrecht abgewinkelte Haltetaschen angeformt, durch die die Heizstäbe durchsteckbar sind.From the DE 197 48 704 A1 a device for mounting a radiator in drum washing machines is known, which comprises a fixed to the bottom of the tub support plate. For this sheet metal vertically angled holding pockets are formed, through which the heating elements are pushed through.

Aus der DE 66 05 408 U ist eine Vorrichtung zur Halterung eines Heizkörpers in einer Waschmaschine bekannt. Hierbei ist am Behälterboden eine topfförmige Erhebung angeformt, auf die die Halterung mit den Heizschlangen aufsteckbar ist.From the DE 66 05 408 U a device for mounting a radiator in a washing machine is known. Here, a cup-shaped elevation is formed on the container bottom to which the holder with the heating coils can be plugged.

Aus der DE 37 23 007 A1 oder DE 38 32 144 A1 ist eine weitere Vorrichtung zur Halterung eines Heizkörpers in einer Trommelwaschmaschine bekannt, die aus einem Trägerblech und einem zu einem Rahmen oder einem U geformten Federdrahtbügel besteht. Das Trägerblech besitzt an seinen Längsenden je eine nach oben zum Innenraum des Behälters gewölbte halbrunde Sicke mit einer Öffnung. Der U-förmige Federdrahtbügel hat an seinen freien Schenkeln ausgeformte Nasen. Der Federdrahtbügel wird von unten her mit seinen Nasen in die Öffnungen des Halteblechs eingeschnappt. Das so komplettierte Trägerblech wird auf der Innenseite des Behälterbodens angeschweißt oder eingeschraubt.From the DE 37 23 007 A1 or DE 38 32 144 A1 Another device for mounting a radiator in a drum washing machine is known, which consists of a support plate and a molded into a frame or a U spring wire clip. The support plate has at its longitudinal ends depending on a curved upwards to the interior of the container semicircular bead with an opening. The U-shaped spring wire has noses formed on its free legs. The spring wire hanger is from below with his noses in snapped the openings of the retaining plate. The thus completed carrier sheet is welded or screwed on the inside of the container bottom.

Bei aus Kunststoff gefertigten Laugenbehältern ergibt sich das Problem, dass infolge der Temperaturempfindlichkeit des Werkstoffes eine geeignete Halterung für den Heizkörper in dem Kunststofflaugenbehälter gegeben sein muss. So ist es beispielsweise auch bekannt, dass Blech- oder Drahthalterungen in dem Laugenbehälter verschraubt werden. Eine derartige Ausgestaltung einer Halterung ist nicht ohne Zusatzkosten für Schrauben und entsprechende Montageschritte zu verwirklichen.When made of plastic tubs, the problem arises that due to the temperature sensitivity of the material must be given a suitable support for the radiator in the plastic tub. For example, it is also known that sheet metal or wire holders are screwed into the tub. Such a design of a holder can not be realized without additional costs for screws and corresponding assembly steps.

Es stellt sich somit das Problem, eine Vorrichtung zur Halterung eines Heizkörpers in Trommelwaschmaschinen bereit zu stellen, die einerseits eine gute thermische Isolation gegenüber dem Laugenbehälter aufweist, einfach zu montieren und auszutauschen ist, bei Gewährleistung eines sehr festen Haltes an der Behälterwand, wobei andererseits der Halter klein bauend sein soll, damit Verflusung / Versottung im Laugenbehälter möglichst unterbunden werden.It thus raises the problem of providing a device for holding a radiator in drum washing machines, on the one hand has a good thermal insulation compared to the tub, easy to assemble and replace, while ensuring a very firm hold on the container wall, on the other hand Holder should be small building so that leaching / sooting in the tub are prevented as possible.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen. Die mit der Erfindung erreichten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, dass sich das Halteelement, welches einen Haltebügel umfasst, aus einem kostengünstigen Drahtbiegeteil verwirklichen lässt, das einfach montiert werden kann, einen festen Sitz garantiert und eine gute thermische Isolation aufweist. Der Haltebügel ist dabei selbsthaltend in am Laugenbehältermantel angeformten Halterungen einrastbar. Er lässt sich somit werkzeuglos im Laugenbehälter einsetzen.According to the invention this problem is solved with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention will become apparent from the following subclaims. The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that the holding element, which comprises a headband, can be realized from a cost-effective bent wire part, which can be easily mounted, guarantees a tight fit and has a good thermal insulation. The headband is self-locking snapped into molded on the tub container mounts. It can thus be used without tools in the tub.

Der Haltebügel besteht hierzu vorzugsweise aus einem trapezförmig gebogenen Drahtbügel, wobei die kurze Seite des Trapezes zu parallel verlaufenden Enden aufgebogen ist. Dies ermöglicht eine kleine flach bauende Halterung, die insbesondere eine Verflusung bzw. Versottung im Laugenbehälter gering hält. Zum werkzeuglosen Einsetzen des Haltebügels sind die Enden in angeformte ebenfalls parallel verlaufende Hülsen am Laugenbehältermantel einsteckbar. Um ein ungewolltes Selbstlösen des Haltebügels aus den angeformten Halterungen zu unterbinden, sind einschubseitig an den angeformten Hülsen Rastelemente zur verspannenden Selbsthalterung des Drahtbügels angeformt. Das einzelne Rastelement ist derart ausgebildet, dass es eine Einführschräge aufweist, an die sich ein Hinterschnitt anschließt, in den sich der Ansatz des parallel verlaufenden Endes spannend drückt. So versteht es sich von selbst, dass der mit seinen Enden aufgebogene Drahtbügel beim Einsetzen zunächst leicht zusammengedrückt wird und über die Einführschrägen hinweggleitet, so dass bei Durchtreten der angeformten Hülsen die Ansätze sich in den Hinterschnitt einlegen, so dass sich eine Stabillage des Haltebügels in den Halteelementen ergibt.The headband is for this purpose preferably from a trapezoidal curved wire bow, the short side of the trapezoid is bent up to parallel ends. This allows a small flat-mount holder, which holds in particular a lime or sooting in the tub low. For tool-free insertion of the retaining clip, the ends in integrally formed also parallel sleeves on Laugenbehältermantel be inserted. In order to prevent accidental self-loosening of the retaining clip from the integrally formed brackets, snap-in elements for the self-holding bracing of the wire bracket are integrally formed on the molded-in sleeves. The individual latching element is designed such that it has an insertion bevel, to which an undercut adjoins, in which the projection of the parallel end presses excitingly. So it goes without saying that the straightened with its ends wire hanger is initially slightly compressed during insertion and slides over the chamfers, so that when passing through the molded sleeves, the lugs are inserted into the undercut, so that a Stabillage of the retaining clip in the Retaining elements results.

Eine Demontage des Haltebügels ist ebenfalls jederzeit werkzeuglos durchzuführen, wobei die Ansätze leicht einzudrücken sind, um auf diese Weise den Haltebügel wieder aus dem Halteelement zu entfernen.A disassembly of the retaining clip is also carried out at any time without tools, the approaches are easy to depress, in this way to remove the headband again from the retaining element.

Zur leichteren einführenden Montage ist die Einführschräge der Rundstabform des Drahtbügels angepasst. In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Haltebügel insbesondere für aus Kunststoff hergestellte Laugenbehälter bestimmt.For easier insertion, the insertion bevel of the round bar shape of the wire bracket is adjusted. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the headband is determined in particular for lye containers made of plastic.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in den Zeichnungen rein schematisch dargestellt und wird nachfolgend näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:

Figur 1:
eine perspektivische Einzelansicht eines Haltebügels, der in einer angeformten Halterung eines Laugenbehältermantels, gezeigt im Ausschnitt, eingesetzt ist und
Figur 2:
eine Draufsicht ebenfalls in der Perspektive auf ein Halteelement mit eingebundener Rohrschlange eines teilweise dargestellten Heizkörpers.
An embodiment of the invention is shown purely schematically in the drawings and will be described in more detail below. Show it:
FIG. 1:
a perspective single view of a retaining clip, which is in an integrally formed holder of a tub container jacket, shown in the cutout, is inserted and
FIG. 2:
a plan view also in the perspective of a holding element with integrated tube coil of a radiator partially shown.

Die Figur 1 zeigt in der Perspektive eine Vorrichtung 1 zur Halterung eines Heizkörpers, beispielsweise in Trommelwaschmaschinen. Der Heizkörper als solches ist näher in der Figur 2 dargestellt, wo er als Rohrschlange 2 zu erkennen ist. Die Rohrschlange 2 wird dabei von außen durch eine nicht näher dargestellte Öffnung in den Laugenbehälter eingesetzt, wie dies beispielsweise aus der DE 198 44 568 bekannt ist.The FIG. 1 shows in perspective a device 1 for mounting a radiator, for example in drum washing machines. The radiator as such is closer in the FIG. 2 shown where it can be seen as a pipe coil 2. The coil 2 is thereby inserted from the outside through an opening not shown in the tub, as for example from the DE 198 44 568 is known.

Dabei ist für das freie Ende 3 der Rohrschlange 2 am Laugenbehältermantel 4, der in der Figur 1 auch nur ausschnittsweise dargestellt ist, ein Halteelement 5 vorgesehen. Wie insbesondere aus der Figur 1 ersichtlich wird, umfasst das Halteelement 5 einen Haltebügel 6, der selbsthaltend in am Laugenbehältermantel 4 angeformten Halterungen 7.1 und 7.2 einrastend einsetzbar ist. Die Formgebung des Haltebügels 6 ist dabei vorzugsweise trapezförmig ausgebildet, wobei die lange Seite 8 des Trapezes auf der Rohrschlange 2 liegt, und wobei die kurze Seite 9 des Trapezes zu parallel verlaufenden Enden 10.1 und 10.2 aufgebogen ist. Die Enden 10.1 und 10.2 sind dabei in angeformte ebenfalls parallel verlaufende Hülsen 11.1 und 11.2 am Laugenbehältermantel 4 einsteckbar.It is for the free end 3 of the coil 2 on the tub jacket 4, in the FIG. 1 also shown only in part, a holding element 5 is provided. As in particular from the FIG. 1 it can be seen, the holding element 5 comprises a headband 6, the self-retaining in the lye container shell 4 integrally formed brackets 7.1 and 7.2 is snap-inserted. The shape of the retaining clip 6 is preferably trapezoidal, wherein the long side 8 of the trapezoid lies on the coil 2, and wherein the short side 9 of the trapezoid is bent to parallel ends 10.1 and 10.2. The ends 10.1 and 10.2 are in integrally formed also parallel sleeves 11.1 and 11.2 on the tub container jacket 4 inserted.

Wie aus den beiden Darstellungen der Figur 1 und 2 ersichtlich ist, sind die angeformten Hülsen 11.1 und 11.2 jeweils einschubseitig mit einem angeformten Rastelement 12.1 und 12.2 zur spannenden Selbsthalterung des Drahtbügels 6 versehen. Die Rastelemente 12.1 und 12.2 sind derart ausgebildet, dass sie jeweils eine Einführschräge 13.1 und 13.2 aufweisen, an die sich jeweils ein Hinterschnitt 14.1 und 14.2 anschließt. In den Hinterschnitt 14.1, 14.2 drücken sich die Ansätze 15.1 und 15.2 des parallel verlaufenden Endes 10.1 bzw. 10.2 spannend ein. Aus der perspektivischen Ansicht der Figur 1 ist noch zu erkennen, dass die Einführschräge 13.1 bzw. 13.2 eine angepasste Formgebung an die Rundstabform des Drahtbügels 6 aufweist.As from the two representations of FIGS. 1 and 2 it can be seen, the molded sleeves 11.1 and 11.2 are each provided on the insertion side with an integrally formed latching element 12.1 and 12.2 for exciting self-mounting of the wire bracket 6. The locking elements 12.1 and 12.2 are designed such that they each have an insertion bevel 13.1 and 13.2, to which in each case an undercut 14.1 and 14.2 connects. In the undercut 14.1, 14.2 press the lugs 15.1 and 15.2 of the parallel end 10.1 and 10.2 exciting. From the perspective view of FIG. 1 can still be seen that the insertion bevel 13.1 and 13.2 has an adapted shape of the round bar shape of the wire bracket 6.

Zur werkzeuglosen Montage des Drahtbügels 6 werden die äußeren Enden 10.1 und 10.2 in die angeformten Hülsen 11.1 und 11.2 eingeführt, wobei anschließend der Drahtbügel 6 in axialer Richtung weiter bewegt wird, bis die Ansätze 15.1 und 15.2 des Drahtbügels 6 von außen vor die Einführschrägen 13.1 und 13.2 stoßen. Der Drahtbügel 6 wird nun weiter in axialer Richtung geschoben, so dass die senkrecht verlaufenden Ansätze 15.1 und 15.2 des Drahtbügels 6 sich entlang der Einführschrägen 13.1 und 13.2 nach innen neigen. Hinter der Einführschräge 13.1 und 13.2 schließt sich dann der Hinterschnitt 14.1 und 14.2 an, in den der Drahtbügel 6 durch seine Federwirkung einrastet. In dieser Position nimmt der Drahtbügel 6 die gleiche Form an, wie vor der Montage.For tool-free installation of the wire bracket 6, the outer ends 10.1 and 10.2 are inserted into the molded sleeves 11.1 and 11.2, then the wire bracket 6 is further moved in the axial direction until the lugs 15.1 and 15.2 of the wire bracket 6 from the outside in front of the insertion bevels 13.1 and 13.2 encounter. The wire bracket 6 is now pushed further in the axial direction, so that the vertically extending lugs 15.1 and 15.2 of the wire bracket 6 itself incline inward along the chamfers 13.1 and 13.2. Behind the insertion bevel 13.1 and 13.2 is then followed by the undercut 14.1 and 14.2, in which the wire clip 6 engages by its spring action. In this position, the wire bracket 6 assumes the same shape as before installation.

Der erfindungsgemäße Drahtbügel 6 weist insbesondere durch seine Formgebung eine geschlossene Form auf, die demzufolge eine große Stabilität hat. Somit können Klappergeräusche ausgeschlossen werden. Gemäß einer anderen Variante ist es auch möglich, dass der dargestellte Drahtbügel 6 die Rohrschlange 2 von außen umklammert, wobei auch denkbar ist, dass die Rohrschlange 2 innen zwischen den Heizschlangen gehaltert wird.The wire bracket 6 according to the invention has in particular by its shape a closed shape, which consequently has a high stability. Thus, rattling noises can be excluded. According to another variant, it is also possible that the illustrated wire bracket 6, the coil 2 clasps from the outside, and it is also conceivable that the coil 2 is held internally between the heating coils.
