Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tub for a drum washing machine with at least one fastened by means of screw ballast weight, which is pressed onto bearing areas on the container wall, wherein for the screw on the container wall in each case a pin is formed, which projects into a corresponding opening in the ballast weight, wherein between the Spigot and the opening a circumferential cavity remains.
  • Such a tub is from the DE 42 38 686 C1 known.
  • dome or pin are formed on the end walls, which protrude into openings in the ballast weight.
  • the domes are each provided with an axial bore into which a screw is screwed, which presses with its screw head the ballast weight against the support area.
  • the opening in the ballast weight is covered with a spring plate, which provides a biasing force on the ballast weight after screwing the screw.
  • a relaxation can not be avoided in the contact area, whereby the preload force gradually decreases. At higher weights or larger imbalances, the ballast weight can loosen and in the worst case solve.
  • a tub in which fastening elements and domes or pins are formed on the end wall.
  • the fasteners and domes protrude into corresponding recesses or openings in the ballast weight, wherein the ballast weight rests on the end wall and wherein the recesses closely surround the lateral border of the projecting fasteners.
  • the weight is connected through corresponding openings by means of connecting means with the tub.
  • it is necessary that the contour of the openings in the weight are carried out very accurately and with high dimensional accuracy, so that the positive connection between the opening and dome is achieved and the weight does not rattle or vibrate in operation relative to the container wall.
  • the DE 11 86 413 B discloses a Laugenbereheatter, wherein the ballast weight is secured by means of a embedded in a rubber-elastic layer socket on the container wall.
  • the ballast weight is not pressed against a support area on the container wall, since the weight must be movable relative to the container wall to counteract occupancies of the container can.
  • ballast weight has a conical passage opening, which is slipped over a hollow pin on the tub wall.
  • a conical or wedge-shaped part is inserted in the hollow pin, which the walls of the pin outwardly against the inner periphery of the passage opening of the Ballast weight presses. Due to the spreading apart of the walls, which then nestle against the conical passage opening, the ballast weight is fixed to the container wall. Since the plastic material of the pin bears against the ballast weight under pressure, it may deform slightly due to relaxation phenomena, as a result of which the pressure against the inner wall of the through hole decreases. Due to the decreasing pressure, the ballast weight can loosen slightly, which can cause heavy rattling of the tub rattling or in the worst case to release the ballast weight.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a plastic tub with an improved attachment for at least one ballast weight.
  • a circumferential, elastic element is used, which at least partially fills the cavity.
  • a permanent and secure installation of the ballast weight is at least partially provided on the outer circumference of the pin, whereby possible relative movements between ballast weight and lye container wall can be avoided.
  • For the attachment of a large biasing force is no longer necessary, whereby the container wall is not heavily loaded in the support area.
  • the service life is increased and possible cracks due to excessive stresses or strains are avoided.
  • the elastic element is designed as a sleeve which rests with its substantially flat jacket portion on the inner wall of the opening of the ballast weight and on the side remote from the container wall has a circumferential, outwardly directed collar as a support for the screw.
  • the screw acts with the interposition of the likewise elastic collar on the ballast weight, whereby a limited, uniform pressure on the ballast weight and in the region of the support on the container wall is achieved.
  • the sleeve has on the front wall facing the container wall another circumferential, outwardly directed collar, which is located between ballast weight and container wall and provides the support for the ballast weight.
  • this intermediate layer an increased frictional resistance between the ballast weight and the container wall is achieved, whereby lateral relative movements of the ballast weight are avoided for all occurring operating situations over the entire life of the washing machine.
  • the sleeve consists of an elastomer or rubber material which has a hardness in the range between 40 to 80 ShoreA. With this hardness, a limited deformability is achieved, whereby at least partially a positive connection with the pin and / or the opening in the ballast weight is provided.
  • the material-related, high frictional resistance in the support area also ensures good adhesion.
  • the material for a stable attachment is hard enough so that no possible relative movements of the ballast weight occur.
  • At least one fastening tab is integrally formed on an end wall of the tub, on which the fastening pin extends from the plane of the end wall pioneering.
  • the attachment can be performed regardless of the circumstances of the container wall.
  • the fastening strap can be made with a higher material thickness to better withstand the stresses.
  • a nut is arranged on the fastening tab, in which the screw is screwed.
  • the screw is screwed.
  • a circumferential shoulder is arranged, on which rests the circumferential collar of the elastic sleeve, wherein a disc is arranged between the screw and the collar is who presses the collar on the heel.
  • the disk for receiving the screw in the central region has an elongated opening which allows a displacement of the position for the screw.
  • the ballast weight can be displaced laterally before attachment to a limited extent relative to the container wall, whereby manufacturing tolerances are compensated.
  • ballast weight circular arc When attaching the ballast weight on the front side of the layer container, it is expedient to perform the ballast weight circular arc.
  • Fig. 1 is a washing machine 8 with a tub 1 outlined in a side view as a section.
  • the tub 1 consists at least of a cylindrical shell 2, which surrounds a drum 3.
  • the cylindrical shell 2 is closed by at least one rear bottom wall 6a.
  • a hub 4 is integrated, which receives the drive shaft 5 for driven by a motor 12 drum 3.
  • the front end wall 6, which is also referred to as a lye container cap, is provided with a loading opening 7, which can be closed by a door 9.
  • Ballastmonye 10, 11 are attached.
  • Fig. 2 the tub 1 is shown in a perspective view from the front. This view corresponds to the operational position of the tub.
  • the ballast weights 11 are arranged on the outside of the front end wall 6, wherein they are arcuately formed as a ring segment and the outside approximately follow the course of the shell 2 and inside the loading opening 7 keep clear.
  • the weights 11 are fastened with screws 13 on the end wall 6, wherein in this case the attachment to fastening tabs 14 takes place, which are integrally formed on the end wall 6 and / or on the jacket 2.
  • the upper weight 11 is sketched without screws, so that the openings 16, 16a, 16b can be seen.
  • the openings 16, 16a are arranged at the outer, lateral ends.
  • the opening 16 b is arranged in the region of the apex 27 of the arcuate ballast weight 11.
  • Fig. 3 the attachment of the ballast weight 11 is sketched in detail.
  • a pin 15 (not shown) integrally formed, which rises from the plane of the tab 14.
  • the ballast weight 11 has an opening 16 into which the pin 15 projects from the wall side. With the help of the screw 13 and an underlaid disc 21, the ballast weight 11 is pressed against the container wall 6 and the tab 14.
  • the opening 16 is dimensioned so that it surrounds the pin 15 (not shown) to form a cavity.
  • the opening 26 in the attached disc 21 is elongated, and thus provides a tolerance compensation for the screw fastening.
  • Fig. 4a the attached ballast weight 11 is sketched in a detailed sectional view.
  • the ballast weight 11 is pressed against the contact area 17 on the container wall 6 and on the tab 14.
  • the pin 15 rises, which projects into the opening 16 of the ballast weight 11.
  • the elastic sleeve 19 is located in the cavity 18 on the inner wall 28 of the opening 16, wherein the cavity 18 between the pin 15 and the inner wall 28 of the opening 16 is only partially filled by the sleeve 19.
  • a circumferential collar 23 is formed, which is directed radially outward and rests on a peripheral shoulder 24 of the ballast weight 11.
  • the flat portion 22 of the ring 19 is slightly compressed and pressed the circumferential collar 23 on the ballast weight 11 and on the shoulder 24. Due to the resilience of the collar 23, the ballast weight 11 is pressed with a limited force against the contact area 17 on the container wall 6 and tab 14, whereby a reliable and permanent tight fit of the ballast weight 11 is achieved.
  • Fig. 4b shows the ballast weight 11 in a sketched sectional view in another position.
  • the cavity 18 between the pin 15 and the inner wall 28 of the opening 16 is almost completely filled, wherein the flat portion 22 of the elastic ring 19 abuts both the pin 15 and on the inner wall 28 of the opening 16 and within the Cavity 18 is compressed.
  • Fig. 5 shows an embodiment of the sleeve 19, in which on the end facing the container wall 6, a further circumferential, outwardly directed collar 25 is formed, which is located between ballast 11 and container wall 6 and the support 17 provides for the ballast weight 11.
  • This collar 25 causes an intermediate friction increased resistance between ballast weight 11 and container wall 6, whereby lateral relative movements of the ballast weight 11 can be avoided. Due to the increased frictional resistance of the collar 25 of the interference fit is further improved, the ballast weight 11 does not have to be pressed so firmly against the end face 17 of the pin 15. As a result, the relaxation behavior in the plastic in the attachment or the support 17 is largely avoided. This is a reliable attachment for all operating situations occurring over the entire life of the washing machine 8 (FIG. Fig. 1 ) provided.
  • Fig. 6 shows a further embodiment in which the nut 20 to the tab 14 towards angled segments 30 includes, which are partially passed through openings 29 in the tab 14. The free end of these segments 30 forms the support 17 for the ballast weight 11. With this fastening, the screw 13 can be very tightened because the ballast weight 11 is no longer pressed with its support portion 17 on the plastic of the container wall 6 and the tab 14 and therefore can not eat into the plastic.
