Definitions

  • the invention relates to a porthole door for a front loadable laundry treatment machine such as washing machine, washer-dryer or dryer which comprises a sight glass, a frame with an inner ring and a glare ring, and a substantially transparent lens.
  • Such a porthole door is from the DE 100 53 413 A1 known.
  • the porthole door includes a sight glass domed to the interior of the unit with a frame consisting of a visible cover frame and a support frame concealed in the closed position. Between the cover frame and support frame, the sight glass is held with its border. In order to achieve optimum centering of the sight glass, the inner diameter of the holding frame is very accurately, with a small tolerance, dimensioned on the contact area of the sight glass.
  • An additional viewing window on the outside of the porthole door covers the curvature of the sight glass directed towards the interior of the machine. The edge of the cover is on the outside in the visible area.
  • the interference fit is achieved by a clamping, wherein an axially outwardly directed edge approach of the cover presses radially on the edge of the window.
  • the lens and the cover must have a high dimensional stability, otherwise a firm and permanent clamping is not guaranteed.
  • small deviations in the dimensional accuracy it may happen that the parts can no longer be joined together or that, if the gaps are too large, a centered alignment must be ensured.
  • a non-centered alignment of the sight glass or the viewing window there is also the risk that the door does not rest evenly on the door seal after closing and does not close very tightly.
  • From the DE 195 15 040 C2 is also a porthole door with a lens known.
  • the lens in the edge region is at least partially clamped under an edge extension of the cover frame against an elastic ring.
  • a visible gap between the edge of the lens and the inner edge of the cover frame is present, wherein the lens and the cover must have a dimensional accuracy with low tolerances. Only then is it ensured that the visible gap is very narrow and has no visible differences.
  • a door for a front loadable laundry treating machine that is suitable for installation in a kitchenette.
  • the sight glass is attached to a closed veneer plate.
  • a centering ring which has a raised peripheral edge. Over this edge, the inner diameter of the sight glass is slipped, whereby the sight glass is brought into the intended position.
  • the centering ring is partially elastic designed so that differences in height of the peripheral edge of the sight glass can be compensated.
  • the invention thus has the task of improving a porthole door of the type mentioned in terms of dimensional accuracy and tightness.
  • the achievable with the invention advantages are in addition to a very good dimensional accuracy of the individual parts to each other in a good and reliable tightness of the door.
  • the sight glass protrudes in the closed state into the loading opening and is located on the door seal, which is arranged around the edge of the loading opening to.
  • a uniform system ensures reliable sealing.
  • the dimensional accuracy of the sight glass within the frame is provided by at least one centering means which is arranged on the frame.
  • the centering means resiliently abuts the peripheral edge of the sight glass and thereby position the sight glass in a substantially centered position within the frame.
  • the centering has a plurality of resilient elements for the sight glass, which are circumferentially distributed substantially uniformly.
  • the resilient elements for the sight glass of the centering effect on the edge of the sight glass each have a radially acting force acting on the sight glass over the peripheral edge at several points. This results automatically a substantially centered position of the sight glass in the frame.
  • the porthole door on the outside has a viewing window, which covers the curvature of the sight glass, which projects at least partially into the loading opening.
  • At least one further centering means is arranged on the frame, which resiliently bears against the peripheral edge of the viewing window and thereby positions the viewing window in a substantially centered position within the frame. The centering happens in the same way as for the sight glass.
  • the centering means further comprises a plurality of resilient elements for the viewing window which are circumferentially distributed substantially uniformly.
  • the resilient elements for the sight glass are not affected by the viewing window in their mode of action, so that the centering of the sight glass is independent of the centering of the lens.
  • the centering means is designed as a circular ring section.
  • the resilient elements for the sight glass and the resilient elements for the lens are arranged, wherein a plurality of annular center-shaped centering circumferentially around the edge of the sight glass and / or the lens on the diaphragm ring or on the inner ring of the frame are arranged.
  • the centering means comprises a ring on which the resilient elements for the sight glass and the viewing window are arranged, wherein the ring is arranged or fixed on the aperture ring or inner ring of the frame.
  • the fixed arrangement of the resilient elements ensures that the resilient elements each comply with their predetermined position. A displacement of the resilient elements during assembly or operation of the laundry treatment machine is thereby prevented.
  • the centering means is made in one piece with the ring and the resilient elements. Due to the small number of items, the centering is easy to manufacture, for example, as a stamped-bent part made of metal or injection-molded plastic part. Furthermore, only a single part needs to be considered during assembly.
  • front loadable laundry treatment machine 1 comprises a housing 2 with a loading opening 4, which is arranged in the front wall 3.
  • a porthole door 5 is fastened by means of a hinge 19.
  • the porthole door 5 consists of a frame 6 and a sight glass 9 surrounded by the frame 6.
  • the loading opening 4 arranged in the front wall 3 can be closed by means of the porthole door 5, the sight glass 6 being arranged on a door seal (not shown) arranged around the edge of the loading opening 4. sealingly rests.
  • FIG. 2 the construction of the porthole door 5 is shown as a section.
  • the frame 6 comprises a blind ring 7, which from the outside of the laundry treatment machine 1 (FIG. Fig. 1 ) is visible.
  • the porthole door 5 comprises a highly curved sight glass 9.
  • the porthole door 5 further comprises a viewing window 10, which covers the inside curvature of the sight glass 9 on the outside of the door 5.
  • the sight glass 9 and the lens 10 are held in a frame 6, which is arranged circumferentially around the sight glass 9 or the viewing window 10.
  • the frame 6 is constructed in several parts, wherein an inner ring 8 is fixed from the inside to the visible aperture ring 7.
  • the lens 10 rests with its edge 13 on the aperture ring 7, wherein the edge 12 of the sight glass 9 rests with the interposition of a sealing ring 16 on the edge 13 of the lens 10.
  • the attachment is achieved in that the inner ring 8 presses on the edge 12 of the sight glass 9, which is supported on the said sealing ring 16 on the edge 13 of the lens 10, which in turn rests with its edge 13 on the inside of the diaphragm ring 7.
  • Fig. 3 the porthole door 2 is shown from the inside with the inner ring 8 removed.
  • the edge 12 of the sight glass 9 is arranged on the diaphragm ring 7, wherein for centering or for providing the centered position of the sight glass 9 and the lens 10 on the inside of the diaphragm 7 centering 11 are arranged circumferentially around the edge 12 of the sight glass 9.
