- the metallic bearing cross is placed as a one-piece workpiece in the injection mold, the cross centering lugs for angular fixation and bearing lugs to prevent tilting in the injection mold contains. Then the bearing cross in the form with a particular glass fiber reinforced plastic is molded around so that the metallic bearing cross is at least almost completely embedded in the material of the end face. If such a molded part is now cooled, shrinking stresses arise due to the different materials, which can lead to these hair cracks in the material described above.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kunststofflaugenbehälter für eine Waschmaschine, umfassend ein eine Trommel umgebendes, zylinderförmig geformtes Behältnis, wobei in einer der Stirnwände eine Nabe oder ein metallisches Lagerkreuz mit einer Nabe zur Aufnahme einer Antriebswelle für die Trommel in der Kunststoffmasse eingebunden ist. Die Erfindung betrifft ferner ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines solchen Kunststofflaugenbehälters.The invention relates to a plastic tub for a washing machine, comprising a surrounding a drum, cylindrical shaped container, wherein in one of the end walls, a hub or a metallic bearing cross is integrated with a hub for receiving a drive shaft for the drum in the plastic mass. The invention further relates to a method for producing such a plastic liquor container.
Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Kunststofflaugenbehälter für Waschmaschinen bekannt, die als zylinderförmig geformtes Behältnis die Trommel umgeben. Dabei ist in einer der Stirnwände ein metallisches Lagerkreuz mit einer Nabe zur Aufnahme einer Antriebswelle für die Trommel in der Kunststoffmasse eingebunden. Durch das Umspritzen des metallischen Lagerkreuzes kommt es im Laugenbehälter zu erheblichen Eigenspannungen, die daraus resultieren, dass der Kunststoff von der Erstarrungstemperatur auf Raumtemperatur abkühlt und dabei schrumpft. Kräfte, die dadurch auf das Lagerkreuz einwirken sind derart groß, dass sich hierbei das Bauteil verformen kann. Die Folge ist, dass die Homogenität des Laugenbehälters in Mitleidenschaft gezogen wird, wobei infolge der Spannungsspitzen Haarrisse auftreten können, die insbesondere dazu führen, dass die Lebensdauer eines derartig geformten Laugenbehälters stark in Mitleidenschaft gezogen wird.Plastic tubs for washing machines are known from the prior art, which surround the drum as a cylindrically shaped container. In this case, a metallic bearing cross with a hub for receiving a drive shaft for the drum in the plastic mass is involved in one of the end walls. The encapsulation of the metallic bearing cross causes considerable residual stresses in the tub, which result from the fact that the plastic cools from the solidification temperature to room temperature and thereby shrinks. Forces that act on the bearing cross are so large that in this case the component can deform. The result is that the homogeneity of the tub is affected, which can occur as a result of the voltage spikes hairline cracks, which in particular lead to the life of such a molded tub is severely affected.
Aus dem Stand der Technik ist hierzu aus der
Das Problem, welches sich dennoch trotz Verwendung eines glasfaserverstärkten Kunststoffes ergibt, ist, dass insbesondere im Einbindungsbereich des metallischen Lagerkreuzes, und hier im Grenzbereich von Kunststoff und Metall, diese Haarrissbildungen auftreten, die eine eingeschränkte Lebensdauer für den Laugenbehälter darstellen.The problem which nevertheless arises despite the use of a glass-fiber-reinforced plastic is that, especially in the binding region of the metallic bearing cross, and here in the border region of plastic and metal, these hairline cracks occur, which represent a limited service life for the tub.
Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem, einen Kunststofflaugenbehälter für eine Waschmaschine mit einem eingebundenen Lagerkreuz derart weiter zu bilden, der insbesondere hinsichtlich seiner Lebensdauer wesentlich verbessert wird. Der Erfindung stellt sich ferner das Problem, ein geeignetes Verfahren zur Herstellung eines solchen Kunststofflaugenbehälters bereitzustellen.The invention thus raises the problem of continuing to form a plastic container for a washing machine with an integrated bearing cross, which is substantially improved, in particular with respect to its life. The invention also has the problem of providing a suitable method for producing such a plastic tote container.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 sowie den Merkmalen der Ansprüche 10 und 11 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 9 und 12.According to the invention this problem is solved with the features of
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Laugenbehälter werden in der Kunststoffmasse zusätzlich zumindest bereichsweise Gewebematten als Bewehrungsmittel mit eingebunden, die insbesondere dort in der Kunststoffmasse eingebunden werden, wo die Spannungsspitzen beim Schrumpfungsprozess oder beim Betrieb der Waschmaschine vornehmlich auftreten könnten. Dabei bestehen die Bewehrungsmittel aus flächigen in die Form einlegbaren Gewebematten, die im Bereich des metallischen Lagerkreuzes oder der Nabe angeordnet sind und zumindest teilweise das Lagekreuz oder die Nabe überdecken. Hierdurch wird eine kraftschlüssige Anbindung des Lagerkreuzes bzw. der Nabe mit der Behälterrückwand bereitgestellt.In the tub according to the invention in addition at least partially tissue mats are included as reinforcing means in the plastic mass, which are particularly involved there in the plastic mass, where the voltage peaks during shrinkage process or during operation of the washing machine could occur primarily. In this case, the reinforcing means consist of flat fabric mats which can be inserted into the mold and which are arranged in the region of the metallic bearing cross or the hub and at least partially cover the positional cross or the hub. As a result, a frictional connection of the bearing cross or the hub is provided with the container rear wall.
Es ist zweckmäßig, die Gewebematten im Bereich des überdeckten Lagerkreuzes oder der Nabe mit einer von der Ebene der Behälterwand abweichenden Kontur auszuführen, damit die Gewebematte in diesen Bereichen mit der Kontur bzw. Form des Lagerkreuzes oder der Nabe korrespondiert. Hierbei schmiegt sich der Gewebematte an das Lagerkreuz oder der Nabe an, wodurch die Anbindung an die zu überdeckenden Bereiche des Lagerkreuzes oder der Nabe verbessert wird.It is expedient to carry out the fabric mats in the region of the overlapping bearing cross or the hub with a deviating from the level of the container wall contour so that the fabric mat corresponds in these areas with the contour or shape of the bearing cross or the hub. Here, the fabric mat nestles against the bearing cross or the hub, whereby the connection to the areas to be covered of the bearing cross or the hub is improved.
In einer zweckmäßigen Ausführung sind die Gewebematten aus GFK (Glasfaser-Kunststoff)-Fasern oder GFK-Fäden hergestellt. Sofern erhöhte Festigkeiten oder ein besonderes Dehnverhalten erforderlich ist, können in alternativen Ausführungsformen die Gewebematten aus Polyester-Fasern- oder Fäden, Keflar-Fasern oder Keflar-Fäden oder Carbon-Fasern oder Carbon-Fäden hergestellt werden. Eine Kombination der Fasern oder Fäden ist ebenfalls denkbar.In an expedient embodiment, the fabric mats are made of fiberglass (GRP) fibers or GRP yarns. If increased strengths or a particular elongation behavior is required, in alternative embodiments, the fabric mats may be made of polyester fibers or filaments, keflar fibers or keflar filaments or carbon fibers or carbon filaments. A combination of the fibers or threads is also conceivable.
Es ist vorteilhaft, die Fasern der einzelnen Matten derart auszurichten, dass die Einzelfasern oder Einzelfäden dem Verlauf der auftretenden Spannungskraftlinien entsprechen. Somit können die auftretenden Kräfte aufgenommen werden, wobei Dehn, - oder Schrumpfungsbewegungen vermindert werden.It is advantageous to align the fibers of the individual mats such that the individual fibers or individual threads correspond to the course of the tension lines that occur. Thus, the forces can be absorbed, with Dehn, - or shrinkage movements are reduced.
In einer alternativen Ausführungsform ist die zumindest eine Gewebematte so dimensioniert, dass sie im wesentlichen den gesamten Bereich des metallischen Lagerkreuzes einfasst bzw. überdeckt. Die Nabe wird hierbei zumindest teilweise überdeckt, da zumindest der Bereich für die eingesetzten Lager frei bleibt.In an alternative embodiment, the at least one fabric mat is dimensioned so that it essentially covers or covers the entire area of the metallic bearing cross. The hub is at least partially covered, as at least the area remains free for the bearings used.
In einer zweckmäßigen Ausführung ragt die zumindest eine Gewebematte über den Bereich der Stirnwand hinaus in den Randbereich der zylindrischen Behälterwand. Hierdurch erfolgt die Anbindung des Lagerkreuzes über eine größere Fläche, wodurch Kraftspitzen im Übergangsbereich zwischen Gewebematte und Kunststoffmasse vermieden werden. Zusätzlich wird die Verbindung der einen Stirnwand mit der zylindrischen Behälterwand verstärkt, wodurch der gesamte Kunststofflaugenbehälter stabilisiert wird.In an expedient embodiment, the at least one fabric mat projects beyond the region of the end wall into the edge region of the cylindrical container wall. This results in the connection of the bearing cross over a larger area, whereby force peaks are avoided in the transition region between fabric mat and plastic mass. In addition, the connection of the one end wall is reinforced with the cylindrical container wall, whereby the entire plastic tub is stabilized.
Die Erfindung betrifft auch das Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Kunststofflaugenbehälters für eine Waschmaschine umfassend ein die Trommel umgebendes, zylinderförmig geformtes Behältnis, wobei in einer der Stirnwand ein metallisches Lagerkreuz mit einer Nabe zur Aufnahme der Antriebswelle für die Trommel in der Kunststoffmasse mit eingebunden wird, wobei zunächst in einem ersten Schritt in die Spritzgussform ein als Matte ausgebildetes Bewehrungsmittel eingelegt wird und in einem zweiten Schritt das metallische Lagerkreuz in der Spritzgussform fixiert wird, wobei dann in einem dritten Schritt, nach Schließung der Form, die Kunststoffmasse in die Form eingebracht wird.The invention also relates to the method for producing a plastic tub for a washing machine comprising a cylinder-shaped container surrounding the drum, wherein in one of the end wall, a metallic bearing cross with a hub for receiving the drive shaft for the drum in the plastic mass is involved, wherein first in a first step in the injection mold a trained as a mat reinforcement is inserted and in a second step, the metallic bearing cross is fixed in the injection mold, then in a third step, after closure of the mold, the plastic material is introduced into the mold.
Gemäß einer Alternative zur Herstellung des Kunststofflaugenbehälters wird ebenfalls vorgeschlagen, dass zunächst in einem ersten Schritt ein als Matte ausgebildetes Bewehrungsmittel um das metallische Lagerkreuz gelegt wird und in einem zweiten Schritt das metallische Lagerkreuz mit der Bewehrung in der Spritzgussform fixiert wird, wobei dann in einem dritten Schritt, nach Schließung der Form, die Kunststoffmasse in die Form eingebracht wird. Somit liegt die Bewehrung ziemlich dicht an dem metallischen Lagerkreuz, so dass hier im Grenzbereich, wo die Hauptspannungen auftreten, die Bewehrungsmatte ihre Aufgabe erfüllt. In Weiterbildung des Verfahrens wird vorgeschlagen, dass das als Matte ausgebildete Bewehrungsmittel bereichsweise in die Form oder an das metallische Kreuz angebracht wird.According to an alternative to the production of the plastic liquor container is also proposed that initially formed in a first step as a mat reinforcement is placed around the metallic bearing cross and in a second step, the metallic bearing cross with the reinforcement in the injection mold is fixed, in which then in a third Step, after closing the mold, the plastic mass is introduced into the mold. Thus, the reinforcement is fairly close to the metallic bearing cross, so that here in the boundary region where the main stresses occur, the reinforcing mat fulfills its task. In a further development of the method, it is proposed that the reinforcing means formed as a mat is applied in regions in the form or on the metallic cross.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung wird nach Schließung der Form die Kunststoffmasse in einem 2-K Verfahren in die Form eingebracht. Hierbei wird zunächst unverstärkte Kunststoffmasse, die keine Fasern enthält, in die geschlossene Form eingebracht bzw. eingespritzt. Anschließend wird faserverstärkte Kunststoffmasse, die beispielsweise GFK-Fasern enthält, in die Form eingebracht. Die unverstärkte Kunststoffmasse umschließt zuverlässig die eingelegten Matten und bindet diese fest in der Kunststoffmasse ein. Die im zweiten Schritt eingebrachte verstärkte Kunststoffmasse erhöht die Stabilität und die Festigkeit des gesamten Kunststofflaugenbehälters. Sowohl für die Bereiche mit Gewebematten als auch für die Bereiche ohne Gewebematten werden durch die faserverstärkte Kunststoffmasse die Stabilität und Festigkeit zusätzlich erhöht.In an advantageous embodiment, after closing the mold, the plastic mass is introduced into the mold in a 2-K process. Here, initially unreinforced plastic material containing no fibers introduced or injected into the closed mold. Subsequently is fiber-reinforced plastic material containing, for example, fiberglass fibers, introduced into the mold. The unreinforced plastic compound reliably encloses the inserted mats and binds them firmly in the plastic compound. The reinforced plastic compound introduced in the second step increases the stability and strength of the entire plastic tub. Both for the areas with fabric mats and for the areas without fabric mats the fiber-reinforced plastic mass additionally increases the stability and strength.

Die Figur 1 zeigt in der perspektivischen Darstellung einen Kunststofflaugenbehälter 1 für eine Waschmaschine umfassend ein die Trommel umgebendes, zylinderförmiges Behältnis 2, wobei in einer der Stirnwände 3 ein metallisches Lagerkreuz 4 mit einer Nabe 5 zur Aufnahme einer hier nicht dargestellten Antriebswelle für eine Trommel in der Kunststoffmasse eingebunden ist.1 shows a perspective view of a
In Figur 5 ist beispielhaft eine Waschmaschine 11 dargestellt, die einen Kunststofflaugenbehälter 1 mit einer darin drehbar angeordneten Trommel 12 umfasst. Die Trommel 12 besitzt an zumindest einem Ende eine Antriebswelle 13, die in der Nabe 5 des am Laugenbehälter 1 befestigten Lagerkreuzes 4 gelagert ist.FIG. 5 shows, by way of example, a washing machine 11 which comprises a plastic
Wie aus der Figur 2 zu erkennen ist, sind an dem Lagerkreuz 4 bereichsweise Gewebematten 6 als Bewehrungsmittel vorgesehen, die mit in die Kunststoffmasse eingebunden werden. Hierbei überdecken die im wesentlichen flächig ausgeführten Gewebematten 6 zumindest teilweise das Lagerkreuz 4 bzw. einige der Lagerkreuzarme 8. Auch die Nabe 5 wird zumindest teilweise von den Gewebematten 6 überdeckt. Die Gewebematten 6 sind so ausgeführt, dass sie der räumlichen Kontur des Lagerkreuzes 4 im Überdeckungsbereich folgen und somit eine von der Ebene der Behälterwand 3 abweichende Form aufweisen. Hierdurch korrespondieren die Gewebematten 6 im wesentlichen mit der Form des Lagerkreuzes 4, bzw. der Lagerkreuzarme 8 und der Nabe 5. Die Gewebematte 6 ist entsprechend der auftretenden Spannungskraftlinien 10 ausgerichtet, um den Bereich optimal zu verstärken und mögliche partielle Materialdehnungen der Behälterwand 3 zu vermindern.As can be seen from Figure 2,
Die Figur 3 zeigt insbesondere eine Ausführungsform, bei der der gesamte Bereich des metallischen Lagerkreuzes 4 von zumindest einer Gewebematte 6 als Bewehrungsmittel eingefasst bzw. überdeckt ist. Hierbei sind alle Lagerkreuzarme 8 vollständig oder nahezu vollständig von der Gewebematte 6 eingefasst. Auch hier weist die Gewebematte 6 eine mit dem Lagerkreuz 4 korrespondierende Form auf, wobei nur ein Bereich an der Stirnseite der Nabe 5 frei bleibt. Die Matte 6 kann als ebenes Teil auf die Kontur des Lagerkreuzes 4 gepresst werden, wodurch sie eine entsprechende von der Ebene abweichende Form enthält. Alternativ kann die zumindest eine Gewebematte 6 als Formteil mit der entsprechenden räumlichen Ausformung vorgefertigt sein, so dass sie mit der Kontur des Lagerkreuzes 4 korrespondiert. Auch in dieser Ausführungsform ist die Gewebematte 6 entsprechend der auftretenden Spannungskraftlinien 10 ausgerichtet,FIG. 3 shows, in particular, an embodiment in which the entire region of the
Wie aus der Figur 4 zu erkennen ist, sind die einzelnen Fasern 9 bzw. Fäden 9, der Gewebematte 6, entsprechend der auftretenden Spannungskraftlinien 10 ausgerichtet. Der Verlauf der Fäden 9 entspricht hierbei im wesentlichen dem Verlauf der Spannungskraftlinien 10, da die Gewebematte 6 in Verlaufsrichtung der Fäden 9 die größte Dehnfestigkeit besitzt.As can be seen from FIG. 4, the
In Fig. 6 ist eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung aufgezeigt, bei welcher ein Kunststofflaugenbehälter 1 mit einem zylinderförmigen Behältnis 2 anstelle eines Lagerkreuzes 4 eine Nabe 5a in einer Stirnwand 3 enthält. Diese Nabe 5a ist zumindest teilweise mit Gewebematten 6 überdeckt, wobei sich die Gewebematten 6 in den ebenen Bereich der Stirnwand 3 erstrecken. Es ist auch möglich, die Gewebematten 6 in die Stirnwand 3 und in den Randbereich des zylindrischen Behältnisses 2 zu verlängern, wodurch die Stabilität des Laugenbehälters 1 weiter erhöht wird.In Fig. 6, an embodiment of the invention is shown, in which a
In Figur 7a ist eine Spritzgussform 14 im geöffneten Zustand aufskizziert. Gemäß der Erfindung wird weiter vorgeschlagen, dass bei der Herstellung eines Kunststofflaugenbehälters 1 zunächst in einem ersten Schritt in die Spritzgussform 14 eine Gewebematte 6 als Bewehrungsmittel 6 eingelegt wird, und in einem zweiten Schritt das metallische Lagerkreuz 4 mit der Nabe 5 in der Spritzgussform 14 fixiert wird. Während dieser Schritte befindet sich das Innenteil 15 außerhalb der Form 14. Nach dem Einlegen der Gewebematten 6 und der Fixierung des Lagerkreuzes 4 in der Form 14 wird das Innenteil 15 in die Form 14 eingefahren, wodurch die Form 14 geschlossen wird.In Figure 7a an
Figur 7b zeigt die Spritzgussform 14 im geschlossenen Zustand. In diesem Zustand wird als dritter Schritt die Kunststoffmasse 17 in die Form 14 eingebracht. Hierzu besitzt die Form 14 zumindest eine Zulaufleitung 16, über die die flüssige oder zähflüssige Kunststoffmasse 17 in die Form 14 eingespritzt wird.FIG. 7b shows the
Alternativ hierzu wird auch gemäß einem Verfahren vorgeschlagen, dass zunächst in einem ersten Schritt eine Gewebematte 6 als Bewehrungsmittel um das metallische Lagerkreuz 4 gelegt wird, wie dies in der Figur 2 oder 3 dargestellt wird, und dann in einem zweiten Schritt das metallische Lagerkreuz 4 mit der Gewebematte 6 in der Spritzgussform 14 fixiert wird, wobei dann in einem dritten Schritt, nach Schließung der Form 14, die Kunststoffmasse 17 in die Form 14 eingebracht wird.Alternatively, it is also proposed according to a method that initially in a first step, a
In Figur 7c ist eine mit dem Innenteil 15 geschlossene Form 14 und darin eingelegten Matten 6 und Lagerkreuz 4 aufskizziert. Durch die Zulaufleitung 16 wird zunächst Kunststoffmasse 17 ohne Fasern in die Form eingespritzt, wodurch die Matte 6 in der Kunststoffmasse 17 eingebunden wird. Anschließend wird durch die Zulaufleitung 16a eine faserverstärkte Kunststoffmasse 17a in die Form 14 eingebracht, wodurch eine gute Einbindung aller innerhalb der Form 14 eingebrachten Komponenten 4, 6 in der durch faserverstärkten Kunststoffmasse 17a erfolgt. Es ist auch möglich, die faserverstärkte Kunststoffmasse 17a über die Zulaufleitung 16 für die unverstärkte Kunststoffmasse 17 in die Form einzubringen.In Figure 7c is closed with the
In Figur 7a, 7b, 7c ist die Positionierung der Zulaufleitungen 16, 16a nur beispielhaft skizziert, alternative Positionen oder die Ausführung mit mehreren Zulaufleitungen 16, 16a sind ebenfalls möglich.In FIGS. 7a, 7b, 7c, the positioning of the
