A door-side hinge part (12) between front and rear door shells (17,18) is held in a recess (9) and comprises two edge sections (20) in the corresponding breaks in the rear shell and the pedestal (15). The breaks serve to receive the hinge connections.

Description

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Tür zum Verschließen einer frontseitigen Beschickungsöffnung im Gehäuse einer Waschmaschine oder eines Wäschetrockners, bei der zwei Türschalen mittels eines Scharniers derart mit dem Gehäuse verbunden sind, dass die Tür um einen Öffnungswinkel von mindestens annähernd 180° schwenkbar ist und in Schließstellung derart in einem Frontwand-Rücksprung eingesenkt ist, dass sie mit der Frontfläche des Gehäuses bündig oder annähernd bündig abschließt.The invention is based on a door for closing a front-side charging opening in the housing of a washing machine or a tumble dryer, in which two door shells are connected to the housing by means of a hinge in such a way that the door can be pivoted through an opening angle of at least approximately 180 ° and in the closed position is sunk in such a front wall recess that it is flush or approximately flush with the front surface of the housing.

Bei einem marktgängigen Gerät dieser Art ist die Tür ausgerüstet mit einer klarsichtigen Topfscheibe, die zwischen einem die Innenseite des Türrahmens bildenden Haltering und einem frontseitigen Blendrahmen eingefügt und durch die Verbindung der beiden Rahmenteile mechanisch fest arretiert ist. Die Stabilität der Tür hängt wesentlich ab von dem aus Kunststoff gefertigten Rahmen. Eine notwendige Biege- und Verwindungssteifigkeit erhält die Tür durch die Form der Rahmenteile und durch innen eingeformte Verstärkungsrippen und - stege. Die Türen der hier interessierenden Art werden von Hand bewegt. Dazu weisen diese einen Griff bzw. einen Griffbereich auf, der gewöhnlich einem Scharnier gegenüber liegt oder gegenüber der waagerechten Mittellinie etwas nach oben versetzt angeordnet ist.In a marketable device of this type, the door is equipped with a transparent cup wheel, which is inserted between a forming the inside of the door frame retaining ring and a front side frame and mechanically locked by the connection of the two frame parts. The stability of the door depends essentially on the plastic frame. The door is given the necessary bending and torsional rigidity by the shape of the frame parts and by reinforcing ribs and ribs formed on the inside. The doors of the kind of interest here are moved by hand. For this purpose, they have a handle or a grip area, which is usually opposite to a hinge or offset slightly upwards relative to the horizontal center line.

Die auf das Scharnier einwirkende Belastung wird einerseits bestimmt durch das Eigengewicht der Tür und andererseits durch die beim Öffnen und Schließen der Tür vom Benutzer aufgebrachte Kraft. Vom Scharnier einer Waschmaschine oder eines Wäschetrockners ist zu fordern, dass seine Stabilität auch dafür noch ausreicht, dass sich der Benutzer leicht auf die geöffnete Tür stützt.The load applied to the hinge is determined on the one hand by the dead weight of the door and on the other hand by the force exerted by the user when opening and closing the door. From the hinge of a washing machine or a tumble dryer is to demand that its stability is sufficient for the fact that the user is easily supported on the open door.

Den Kundenwünschen nach einer möglichst guten Einsicht in das Geräteinnere und einem möglichst bequemen Zugriff in die Trommel beim Be- und Endladevorgang kann nur durch eine insgesamt große Tür und eine große im Türrahmen gehaltene Klarsichtscheibe entsprochen werden. Proportional zur Größe der Tür steigen die auf das Scharnier und seine Befestigung am Türrahmen einwirkenden mechanischen Belastungen.The customer's wishes for the best possible insight into the interior of the device and the most convenient access to the drum during loading and unloading can only be met by a large overall door and a large held in the door frame clear window. Proportional to the size of the door increase the mechanical loads acting on the hinge and its attachment to the door frame.

Aus Gründen des Designs, insbesondere bei einem Gerät, das in einer Möbelzeile aufgestellt werden soll, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Tür in Schließstellung mit der Frontfläche bündig abschließt. Die bündige Einordnung der Tür kann auch aus praktischen Gründen geboten sein. Eine Tür, die wegen ihrer Größe bis nahe an die Seitenkanten des Gerätes heranreicht, sollte zur Vermeidung von Stoßkanten nicht oder nur geringfügig aus der Ebene der Gerätefront herausstehen.For reasons of design, especially in a device that is to be placed in a furniture line, it is advantageous if the door in the closed position flush with the front surface concludes. The flush arrangement of the door can also be required for practical reasons. A door, which, because of its size, reaches almost to the side edges of the device, should not or only slightly protrude from the plane of the device front to avoid impact edges.

Vorteile bietet eine frontbündige Tür auch bei der Verpackung des Gerätes. Diese Verpackung kann bei ansonsten gleichen Gehäuseabmessungen etwas kleiner gehalten werden und es können alle Vorkehrungen entfallen, die vorspringende Tür gesondert abzusichern.Advantages of a flush-mounted door even with the packaging of the device. This packaging can be kept slightly smaller with otherwise the same housing dimensions and it can be omitted all precautions to secure the protruding door separately.

Eine Scharniervorrichtung für eine bündig in die Frontebene einzuordnende Tür ist beispielsweise aus DE 198 04 962 C1 zu entnehmen. Die dort beschriebene Lösung zeichnet sich durch einen besonders großen Verschwenkwinkel der Tür aus. Wesentliche Merkmale dieses Scharniers sind eine Scharnierstrebe und eine Steuerstrebe, die mit benachbarten Achsen hinter der Frontwand gelagert sind und mit einem bogenförmigen Abschnitt durch eine Öffnung in der Frontwand nach außen ragen und mit ihren äußeren Enden mittels zweier äußerer Achsen an einem Türflansch angelenkt sind. Beim Öffnen der Tür wird diese einmal um die innere Achse und in derselben Drehrichtung um eine äußere Achse verschwenkt. Mittels eines solchen Scharniers kann die bündig in der Frontwand eingepasste Tür aus der Ebene der Front herausgeführt werden.A hinge device for a door to be arranged flush in the front plane is for example off DE 198 04 962 C1 refer to. The solution described there is characterized by a particularly large pivot angle of the door. Essential features of this hinge are a hinge strut and a control strut, which are mounted with adjacent axes behind the front wall and project with an arcuate portion through an opening in the front wall to the outside and hinged at their outer ends by means of two outer axes to a door flange. When the door is opened, it is pivoted once around the inner axis and in the same direction of rotation about an outer axis. By means of such a hinge, the flush mounted in the front wall door out of the level of the front can be led out.

Ferner offenbart WO 03/004754 A1 ein Gehäuse mit allen Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des vorliegenden unabhängigen Anspruchs 1.Further disclosed WO 03/004754 A1 a housing with all features of the preamble of the present independent claim 1.

Die Herstellung eines derartigen aus vielen Einzelteilen bestehenden Scharniers ist jedoch aufwendig und vergleichsweise teuer. Die beiden Schwenkachsen machen das Scharnier schwer und instabil und seine Befestigung an der Tür erfordert wegen des hohen Gewichts einen sehr stabilen Rahmen. Insbesondere bei großen und dadurch schwereren Türen ist ein erheblicher Aufwand erforderlich, um für ein solches Scharnier die notwendige Robustheit zu erzielen.However, the production of such a multi-part hinge is complex and relatively expensive. The two swivel axles make the hinge heavy and unstable and its attachment to the door requires a very sturdy frame due to its heavy weight. Especially with large and therefore heavier doors a considerable effort is required to achieve the necessary robustness for such a hinge.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, für eine eingangs beschriebene Tür und deren Scharnier eine gegenüber dem Stand der Technik verbesserte Lösung anzugeben. Die neue Lösung soll mit einfacheren Mitteln einen gleichermaßen großen Öffnungswinkel haben, stabil sein und eine insgesamt ökonomisch günstigere Herstellung ermöglichen.The object of the invention is to provide a comparison with the prior art improved solution for a door and its hinge described above. The new solution should have a simpler means an equally large opening angle, be stable and allow a total economically more economical production.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch die im Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmale gelöst.According to the invention the object is achieved by the features mentioned in claim 1.

Das Wesentliche der erfindungsgemäßen Tür besteht darin, dass die Tür mittels eines einachsigen Scharniers am Gehäuse angelenkt ist und ein türseitiges Scharnierteil zwischen der frontseitigen Türschale und der gehäuseseitigen Türschale in einer Aufnahmestruktur gehalten ist und das türseitige Scharnierteil zwei mit Randeinschnitten in der gehäuseseitigen Türschale korrespondierende Durchbrüche und ihnen zugeordnete Lagerböcke aufweist, wobei die Durchbrüche zum Aufnehmen von form- und positionsgerecht am gehäuseseitigen Scharnierteil angeordneten und nach vorn aus dem Frontwand-Rücksprung ragenden Scharnierarmen dienen. Das gehäuseseitige Scharnierteil ist vorteilhafterweise der Form und Geometrie des Türrahmens angepasst und als Druckgussteil gefertigt, während das türseitige Scharnierteil aus einem verstärktem Kunststoff bestehen kann.The essence of the door according to the invention is that the door by means of a uniaxial Hinge is hinged to the housing and a door-side hinge part between the front door shell and the housing-side door shell is held in a receiving structure and the door-side hinge part has two recesses in the housing side door shell corresponding openings and associated bearing blocks, wherein the openings for receiving of form and Positionally arranged on the housing side hinge part and serve forward from the front wall recess projecting hinge arms. The housing-side hinge part is advantageously adapted to the shape and geometry of the door frame and manufactured as a die-cast part, while the door-side hinge part may consist of a reinforced plastic.

Durch ein derartig ausgebildetes Scharnier werden die einwirkenden Kräfte großflächig aufgenommen und in die stabilen Rahmenbereiche weitergeleitet sowie die seitlichen Aussparungen für die Achshalter überbrückt, so dass eine Instabilität des Türrahmens in diesen Bereichen vermieden wird. Trotz dieser für einen Leichtbau mit wenigen Teilen geeigneten Anordnung lässt sich die Tür um ca. 180° vor die Frontseite des Gehäuses schwenken, so dass Benutzer der Wasch- oder Trockenmaschine den bestmöglichen Zugang zum Inneren der Maschine erhalten. Das türseitige Scharnierteil liegt unmittelbar an der Innenfläche des Tragteils der Tür plan an. Die Scharnierachse ist nahe der Frontebene angeordnet, so dass der dadurch festgelegte Drehpunkt auf einfache Weise einen großen Schwenkbereich der Tür ermöglicht.By such a trained hinge the acting forces are absorbed over a large area and forwarded to the stable frame areas and bridged the lateral recesses for the Achshalter, so that instability of the door frame is avoided in these areas. Despite this arrangement, which is suitable for lightweight construction with few parts, the door can be pivoted about 180 ° in front of the front of the housing so that users of the washing or drying machine get the best possible access to the interior of the machine. The door-side hinge part lies directly on the inner surface of the support member of the door plan. The hinge axis is arranged near the front plane, so that the fulcrum defined thereby enables a large pivoting range of the door in a simple manner.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung korrespondieren in der frontseitigen Türschale im in Schließstellung der Tür zum Gehäuse weisenden Rand eingeformte Schlitze positionsgleich mit den Durchbrüchen des gehäuseseitigen Scharnierteils und mit den Randeinschnitten der gehäuseseitigen Türschale und umgreifen in Offenstellung der Tür die Scharnierarme. Das türseitige Scharnierteil bildet mit der Ausnahmestruktur einen Presssitz und ist dadurch an der gehäuseseitigen und/oder frontseitigen Türschäle gehalten. Durch den Presssitz des Scharniers wird die Krafteinleitung in den Rahmen begünstigt.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention correspond in the front door shell in the closed position of the door facing the edge of the edge molded slots position equal to the openings of the housing side hinge part and the edge incisions of the housing side door shell and embrace the hinge arms in the open position of the door. The door-side hinge part forms a press fit with the exception structure and is thereby held on the housing-side and / or front door shells. The interference fit of the hinge promotes the introduction of force into the frame.

Diese und weitere Merkmale der Unteransprüche sind in beliebiger Weise miteinander und mit den Merkmalen des Hauptanspruches kombinierbar.These and other features of the subclaims can be combined in any manner with each other and with the features of the main claim.

Die Anpassung des Scharniers an verschiedene Gerätetypen und damit an die unterschiedlichen auf das Scharnier einwirkenden Belastungen erfolgt in einfacher Weise durch entsprechende Dimensionierung des Scharnierhalters, d.h. durch Variation seiner Breite, Stärke und/oder Längserstreckung entlang des Türrahmens über die seitlichen Durchbrüche hinaus. Das erfindungsgemäße Scharnier ist daher besonders geeignet zum Einsatz bei großen Türen.The adaptation of the hinge to different types of equipment and thus to the different loads acting on the hinge takes place in a simple manner by appropriate Dimensioning of the hinge holder, ie by varying its width, thickness and / or longitudinal extent along the door frame on the side openings addition. The hinge according to the invention is therefore particularly suitable for use in large doors.

Aus der konstruktiven Gestaltung des Scharniers und seiner Befestigung in der Tür ergeben sich, gemessen an bekannten Scharnieren, geringere Anforderungen an die Stabilität des Türrahmens. Das erfindungsgemäße Scharnier ist daher insbesondere für schmale Rahmen und Rahmen mit geringer Tiefe vorteilhaft einsetzbar.From the structural design of the hinge and its attachment in the door arise, measured against known hinges, lower requirements for the stability of the door frame. The hinge according to the invention can therefore be used advantageously in particular for narrow frames and frames with a shallow depth.

Die Erfindung stellt daher eine insgesamt sehr ökonomische Lösung dar. Dies betrifft sowohl die Herstellung des Türrahmens und des Scharniers, sowie deren Montage und die erforderliche Stabilität des Türrahmens.The invention therefore represents an overall very economical solution. This concerns both the production of the door frame and the hinge, as well as their installation and the required stability of the door frame.

In Fig. 1 ist das Gehäuse 1 eines von vorn beschickbaren Wäschetrockners mit einer einseitig schwenkbar angelenkten Tür 2 dargestellt. Die Tür 2 zum Verschließen der Beschickungsöffnung besteht aus einem zweiteiligen Kunststoffrahmen 6 mit eingepasstem Glasfenster 3. Die Tür 2 ist mittels eines Scharniers 4 am Gerätegehäuse 1 angelenkt. Gegenüber dem Scharnier 4, im Randbereich des Rahmens 6 nach oben versetzt, ist ein Türgriff 5 angeformt. Beim Schwenken der Tür 2 taucht der Rand 22 hinter die Scharnierarme (21, Fig. 6), so dass die Scharnierarme 21 in Schlitze 23 des Rands 22 eindringen.In Fig. 1 the housing 1 of a front-loadable clothes dryer with a hinged side hinged door 2 is shown. The door 2 for closing the loading opening consists of a two-part plastic frame 6 with fitted glass window 3. The door 2 is hinged by means of a hinge 4 on the device housing 1. Across from the hinge 4, offset in the edge region of the frame 6 upwards, a door handle 5 is formed. When pivoting the door 2, the edge 22 dives behind the hinge arms (21, Fig. 6 ), so that the hinge arms 21 penetrate into slots 23 of the edge 22.

Das Scharnier 4 besteht gemäß Fig. 2 bis 4 aus zwei Teilen, einem türseitigen Scharnierteil 12 und einem geräteseitigen Scharnierteil 16, die über nur eine Drehachse 8 miteinander verbunden sind. Die Drehachse 8 des Scharniers 4 ist zweigeteilt. Die sichelförmige Grundplatte 26 des türseitigen Scharnierteils 12 überbrückt die seitlichen Durchbrüche 11 (Fig. 7) im Türrahmen 6, die mit Randeinschnitten 20 der gehäuseseitigen Türschale 18 zwischen den Lagerböcken 15 korrespondieren. Die sichelförmige Grundplatte 26 des türseitigen Scharnierteils 12 folgt der Form eines Kreisbogens, der der Krümmung des Türrahmens 6 angepasst ist, und weist auf der Seite zur frontseitigen Türschale 17 eine plane Anlagefläche auf. Zur Verbesserung der Einbindung in den Türrahmen 6 ist das türseitige Scharnierteil 12 passgenau in die im Rahmenteil 6 eingearbeitete Aufnahmestruktur 9 eingeformt. Außerdem ist das türseitige Scharnierteil 12 über Schraubdome 10 mit entsprechenden, hier nicht sichtbaren Sacklöchern im Rahmenteil 6 formschlüssig verbunden und mittels nicht dargestellter Schrauben befestigt. Die Schraublöcher 7 dienen zur Befestigung der in Fig. 7 nicht dargestellten, gehäuseseitigen Türschale.The hinge 4 is made according to Fig. 2 to 4 of two parts, a door-side hinge part 12 and a device-side hinge part 16, which are connected to each other via only one axis of rotation 8. The axis of rotation 8 of the hinge 4 is divided into two parts. The sickle-shaped base plate 26 of the door-side hinge part 12 bridges the lateral openings 11 (FIG. Fig. 7 ) in the door frame 6, which correspond with edge recesses 20 of the housing-side door shell 18 between the bearing blocks 15. The crescent-shaped base plate 26 of the door-side hinge part 12 follows the shape of a circular arc, which is adapted to the curvature of the door frame 6, and has on the side of the front door shell 17 a plane contact surface. To improve the integration into the door frame 6, the door-side hinge part 12 is formed accurately in the incorporated in the frame part 6 receiving structure 9. In addition, the door-side hinge part 12 is positively connected via screw domes 10 with corresponding, not visible here blind holes in the frame part 6 and fastened by means not shown screws. The screw holes 7 are used to attach the in Fig. 7 not shown, housing-side door shell.

Das gehäuseseitige Scharnierteil 16 ist als Metallteil im Druckgussverfahren hergestellt. Seine sichelförmige Grundplatte 27 trägt zwei Scharnierarme 21, die von der Drehachse 8 durchdrungen werden. Die Hohlkammern 13 auf seiner Rückseite (Fig. 5) dienen zur Vermeidung von Materialanhäufungen und die entsprechenden Trennstege 14 zur Stabilisierung des Teils. Auch ohne eine solche Darstellung ist aber das türseitige Scharnierteil 12 ebenso strukturiert.The housing-side hinge part 16 is produced as a metal part by die-casting. Its crescent-shaped base plate 27 carries two hinge arms 21, which are penetrated by the axis of rotation 8. The hollow chambers 13 on its rear side ( Fig. 5 ) are used to prevent accumulation of material and the corresponding dividers 14 to stabilize the part. Even without such a representation, however, the door-side hinge part 12 is also structured.

Die Fügung der Scharnierteile 12 und 16 ist sehr einfach. Dazu wird das gehäuseseitige Scharnierteil 16 gemäß Fig. 4 so von hinten an das türseitige Scharnierteil 12 heran geführt, dass die Scharnierarme 21 in die Durchbrüche 11 des türseitigen Scharnierteils 12 zwischen die Lagerböcke 15 gelangen. Sobald die Löcher in den Lagerböcken 15 und in den Scharnierarmen 21 miteinander fluchten, wird je eine Achse 25 in die einander anschließendem Löcher getrieben.The joining of the hinge parts 12 and 16 is very simple. For this purpose, the housing-side hinge part 16 according to Fig. 4 so guided from the rear of the door-side hinge part 12, that the hinge arms 21 get into the openings 11 of the door-side hinge part 12 between the bearing blocks 15. As soon as the holes in the bearing blocks 15 and in the hinge arms 21 are aligned with each other, one axis 25 is driven into each of the subsequent holes.

Die Montage des Scharniers 4 ist ebenso einfach. Dazu wird das türseitige Scharnierteil 12 passgenau in die Aufnahme 9 der gehäuseseitigen Türschale 18 (Fig. 6) eingelegt und dort anschließend verschraubt. Im Ausführungsbeispiel sind eine Verschraubung zwischen den seitlichen Durchbrüchen 11 im Türrahmen 6 und je eine an den Enden des türseitigen Scharnierteils 12 vorgesehen (Fig. 7). Bei größeren Türen 2 ist eine höhere Anzahl von Verschraubungen sinnvoll bzw. notwendig. Die Verschraubung sichert die Verbindung von Scharnierteil 12 und Türschale 18 und ermöglicht einen eng tolerierten Presssitz. Die in der Türschale 18 eingeformten Schraubdome 10 sind vorteilhafterweise rund und leicht konisch ausgebildet und dienen bei der Montage als Positionierhilfen. Abschließend wir die frontseitige Türschale 17 - das ist das von außen sichtbare Teil des Türrahmens 6 - über die mit dem Scharnier 4 verbunden gehäuseseitige Türschale gestülpt und mittel der Rastelemente 24 verrastet.The mounting of the hinge 4 is just as easy. For this purpose, the door-side hinge part 12 fit into the receptacle 9 of the housing-side door shell 18 ( Fig. 6 ) and then bolted there. In the exemplary embodiment, a screw connection between the lateral openings 11 in the door frame 6 and one each at the ends of the door-side hinge part 12 are provided ( Fig. 7 ). For larger doors 2, a higher number of fittings is useful or necessary. The screw ensures the connection of hinge part 12 and door shell 18 and allows a tightly tolerated interference fit. The molded in the door shell 18 Schraubdome 10 are advantageously round and slightly conical and are used during assembly as positioning. Finally, we the front door shell 17 - that is the visible from the outside part of the door frame 6 - slipped over the connected to the hinge 4 housing-side door shell and latched by means of the locking elements 24.
