Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for fastening a functional component to a carrier element of a domestic appliance.
  • a carrier element of the appliance like e. g. a panel has to be equipped with a functional element which has to be fixed at the carrier element.
  • the functional element can be e. g. an electronic part of the domestic appliance, an operational device of the appliance or a fastening element.
  • DE 85 35 431 U1 shows the fixation of a functional component at a carrier element by a specific design by using journals and bushings. With this the functional component can be detachably connected with the carrier element.
  • EP 1 639 935 A2 discloses.
  • a similar solution shows EP 1 045 300 B1 .
  • the adhesive can thus be applied in an economical way and only in those parts of the fixation area where it is really needed.
  • the process can be automated in an easy way.
  • a cleaning process of the fixation area and/or of the counter area is carried out before above step a) .
  • a primer is applied to the fixation area and/or to the counter area before above step a) .
  • the functional component can be a retainer or carrier for an electronic part of the domestic appliance. It can also be an operation device of the domestic appliance. Furthermore, an example for a carrier element is a fastening element of the domestic appliance.
  • the carrier element can be a panel of the domestic appliance.
  • the domestic appliance is preferably a kitchen oven, a washing machine or a dryer. Of course it can also be any other kind of domestic appliances.
  • the actuator is designed to position a tip or grip.portion of it at a defined point of a cartesian coordinate system.
  • FIG 1 shows a domestic appliance 3 which is a. domestic oven for a kitchen.
  • the domestic appliance 3 has - as can be seen in the depicted partly broken view - a carrier element 2 with a front wall 10.
  • the carrier element 2 has an aperture 13 through which a part of a functional component 1 protrudes.
  • the functional component 1 is fixed at the reverse side 9 of the carrier element 2. Therefore, the functional component 1 has a holding section 14 with a fixation area 5.
  • the fixation area 5 contacts in the mounted state of the domestic appliance a counter area 8 of the carrier element 2.
  • FIG 2 A first method step is depicted in FIG 2 .
  • the functional component 1 is shown which is held in position by not depicted means.
  • An adhesive 4 is applied to the fixation areas 5 of the functional component 1. In the embodiment of FIG 2 this is done by means 11 for applying adhesive which are part of a-mounting device 7.
  • FIG 2 in a schematically way only those means 11 have a nozzle 15 by which a defined amount of adhesive can be expelled.
  • the nozzle 15 is arranged at a - not depicted - actuator which moves the nozzle 15 precisely within a cartesian coordinate system with the coordinates x and y to exactly apply a desired amount of adhesive on the fixation area 5.
  • a motion can be executed in the third direction in space, if necessary.
  • the functional component 1 is gripped by a tip or grip.portion 12 of the mounting device 7 as shown in FIG 3 .
  • the functional component 1 is thus precisely brought into the correct position relatively to the carrier element 2 which is stationary.
  • the grip portion 12 is moved within cartesian coordinates x, y (and of course also in z-direction which is perpendicular to the plane of FIG 3 ) by an actuator 6.
  • the functional component 1 can be positioned exactly to the carrier element 2.
  • the functional component 1 is pressed in the direction of the arrow in FIG 3 onto the carrier element 2, i. e. the fixation area 5 - which is supplied with the adhesive 4 - is pressed on the counter area 8 of the carrier element 2.
  • FIG 4 The mounted state of the functional component-1 with the carrier element 2 is shown in FIG 4 and FIG 5 from two different lines of vision.
  • FIG 4 the front wall 10 is depicted.
  • a knob 16 of the functional component 1 is shown which protrudes through the aperture 13 in the carrier element 2.
  • FIG 5 the carrier element 2 with the functional component 1 is shown, seen from the reverse side 9 of the carrier element 2.
  • the functional element can be any possible part which is necessary in a domestic appliance.
  • the automatization of the assembly process is possible in a very easy way as the actuator for moving the nozzle 15 as well as the actuator 6 can have NC-axes by which any-position can be reached with high precision.
  • a primer can be applied before the adhesive is brought on the fixation area 5.
  • the carrier element 2 can be of any suitable material. It can be made from sheet metal, stainless steel, light metal, glass or plastic. It can be enamelled or painted.
  • the carrier element in the form of a panel can have a printing.
