Definitions
- the invention relates to a front-loadable laundry treatment machine having a housing, having a substantially circular housing opening, which can be closed by a door, and a tub, which is attached in a swinging manner in the housing and has a substantially circular opening and a sealing cuff, which is arranged for connection between the housing opening and the tub opening.
- the sealing sleeve is slipped onto a circumferential edge around the housing opening and this everted portion cooperates with a clamping element designed as a clamping element, and wherein in this area a circumferential door opening directed to the sealing lip is arranged for the door.
- a gasket for sealing connections in household appliances is known, which is arranged for connection between the front housing wall and the tub portion.
- the gasket is provided at the housing opening with an annular clamping element.
- the clamping element is pre-assembled in this embodiment of the prior art in the interior of the portion to be fastened of the sleeve, in order to reduce the installation effort on site considerably in this way.
- the gasket is slipped over a circumferential fold, wherein the everted portion cooperates with a clamping element designed as a clamping element.
- a clamping element which braces the door seal in a circumferential groove or fold in the radial direction. Due to the distance between the force application points in the area of the sealing lip and the force output to the clamping ring axial and radial compressive forces must be absorbed by the elastomer. Due to the material, this leads to buckling and thus to a poor dimensional stability of the over-turned region, as a result of which the sealing lip becomes unstable or changeable with respect to its position. In addition, the dimensional stability of the elastomer is deteriorated by the long-term action of alkali and washing temperature. This can lead to leaks in the transition between the sealing lip of the door seal and the door sight glass with increased life.
- the invention thus raises the problem of improving the dimensional stability of the gasket, and here in particular in the binding region on the circumferential fold of the housing opening, in terms of stability, in order to achieve an increased life and reliable tightness in this way.
- the advantages achieved by the invention are that as a result of an additional, separate and inexpensive to produce stabilization element of the connection area of the sleeve is significantly stabilized at the fold of the housing opening, because a positive connection of the stabilizing element gives the sealing ring adapted supporting position, which also has an additional Stabilization of the sealing lip provides.
- the stabilizing element cooperates with the wire ring, which can be easily mounted on the stabilizing element as an assembly for fixing the door ring on the housing front wall.
- the stabilizing element is designed so that it can be extruded as a plastic profile and deformed due to a one-sided accumulation of material when cooling according to the cylindrical shape of the door seal, so that the extruded profile after cooling assumes a ring shape that can be very easily connected to the clamping ring.
- an at least approximately circulating stabilizing element is advantageously stabilizingly attached to the everted region of the sealing collar, which stabilizer accommodates the clamping ring and supports the over-pushed region.
- the stabilizing element is formed in cross-section substantially V-shaped, so that it with its legs in the likewise V-shaped everted portion of the gasket, which is the Inner side of the fold of the housing extends, at least almost completely rests. This results in an at least almost positive fit especially in the area of the edge of the sleeve at the fold.
- the free ends of the legs of the stabilizing element are each angled outwardly.
- the angled region affects about 25% to 50% of the respective leg length of the stabilizing element in cross section.
- the leg ends correspond approximately to the shape of the collar edge, so that continues in this area, the positive connection to the collar edge.
- the clamping ring between the legs on the inside in the region of the tip of the V-shaped cross section of the stabilizing element is arranged.
- each locking lugs are integrally formed on the inside of the legs.
- the stabilizing element consists of an extruded plastic extruded profile, which is substantially annular, wherein the tip of the V-shaped cross section is radially inward.
- the clamping ring thus pushes the wedge shape in the predetermining fold.
- the stabilizing element has a substantially symmetrical cross-section over the circumference.
- it can be placed in any position, based on the circumference, on the over-protuberance of the sleeve and provided with the clamping element.
- FIG. 1 shows in the cut, sketched representation of a front loadable laundry treatment machine 1 with a housing 2. It is with a door 3 a substantially circular housing opening 4 closed. At the housing opening 4 is a sealing sleeve 5 via a peripheral fold 6, shown in the detail view of FIG. 2 slipped, wherein in this area a circumferential sealing lip 7 for the door 3 and for the sight glass 3a of the door 3 is arranged. As from the cut representation of the FIG. 1 becomes clear, the gasket 5 bridges the area between the housing opening 4 and a tub opening 8, wherein in the tub 9 itself a rotatably mounted and drivable by a motor 11 drum 10 is arranged.
- the gasket 5 is slipped onto a circumferential around the housing opening 4 fold 6, said over-turned portion 12 cooperates with a tensioning ring designed as a clamping element 13.
- the door opening directed sealing lip 7 is arranged for the door 3 in this area.
- an at least approximately circumferential stabilizing element 14 is arranged on the side facing away from the fold 6. In this case, the stabilizing element 14 settles in a stabilizing manner on the outside of the slipped-over region 12.
- the stabilizing element 14 receives the clamping ring 13 and supports at least almost the entire everted region 12, which is pressed by the clamping ring 13 in the V-shaped circumferential fold 6.
- the stabilizing element 14 is formed in cross-section substantially V-shaped.
- the stabilizing element 14 rests with its legs 15 and 16 on the region 12 of the sealing collar 5, which is likewise pulled over in a V-shaped manner, such that it extends to the inside of the fold 6 of the housing 2 and covers it at least almost completely.
- Fig. 4 is clarified that the stabilizing element 14 receives the force acting on the predetermined bending points 7a forces of the sealing lip 7, so that caused deformations in the over-protuberance region 12 and in the planar region avoided or at least minimized.
- the free ends or the end portions of the legs 15 and 16 are each angled outwardly. So it is clear that, for example, when the sealing lip 7 is under load, as in the FIG. 4 is shown in the closed position of the door 3, the deformation of the edge region of the gasket 5 is reduced by the projecting beyond the fold 6 area is supported by the free leg 15 with its angled portion. The angled portion of the free leg 15 in this case extends beyond the fold 6, so that the everted portion 12 is detected above the fold 6 with.
- the clamping ring 13 is arranged between the legs 15 and 16 on the inside in the region of the tip 17 of the V-shaped cross section of the stabilizing element 14.
- 15 and 16 each locking lugs 18 and 19 are integrally formed on the inside of the legs, which are executed segmentally or completely circumferentially.
- the stabilizing element 14 consists of an extruded plastic extruded profile, which is formed substantially annular, wherein the material accumulation in the tip 17 of the V-shaped cross-section, this aligns radially inward.
- the self-alignment occurs during the manufacturing process and is caused by the increased shrinkage at the sites of accumulation of material during cooling. This effect is used here for the shaping of the annular stabilizing element 14.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine frontbeschickbare Wäschebehandlungsmaschine mit einem Gehäuse, mit einer durch eine Tür verschließbaren im Wesentlichen kreisförmigen Gehäuseöffnung und einem in dem Gehäuse schwingbeweglich befestigten Laugenbehälter mit einer im Wesentlichen kreisförmigen Öffnung und einer Dichtungsmanschette, die zur Verbindung zwischen der Gehäuseöffnung und der Laugenbehälteröffnung angeordnet ist, wobei die Dichtungsmanschette auf eine um die Gehäuseöffnung umlaufende Abkantung gestülpt ist und dieser überstülpte Bereich mit einem als Spannring ausgebildeten Spannelement zusammenwirkt, und wobei in diesem Bereich eine umlaufende zur Türöffnung gerichtete Dichtlippe für die Tür angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a front-loadable laundry treatment machine having a housing, having a substantially circular housing opening, which can be closed by a door, and a tub, which is attached in a swinging manner in the housing and has a substantially circular opening and a sealing cuff, which is arranged for connection between the housing opening and the tub opening. wherein the sealing sleeve is slipped onto a circumferential edge around the housing opening and this everted portion cooperates with a clamping element designed as a clamping element, and wherein in this area a circumferential door opening directed to the sealing lip is arranged for the door.
Aus dem Stand der Technik gemäß der
Gemäß der
Eine andere Ausführungsform der Einbindung der Dichtungsmanschette zwischen der Gehäuseöffnung und der Laugenbehälteröffnung dokumentiert die
Aus der
Jedoch weisen diese aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Lösungen noch Nachteile auf, die darin zu sehen sind, dass die Einbindung der Dichtungsmanschette noch zu optimieren ist, zumal die Dichtlippe, die sich bei geschlossener Tür an das Türschauglas anlegt, beim wieder Öffnen der Tür sehr großen Spielraum aufweist, und dies zu nachteiligen Verformungen der Dichtlippe führen kann. Das bedeutet, dass bei einer schlechten radialen Führung bzw. Einbindung im Bereich der Überstülpung dies unter ungünstigen Umständen auch bei geschlossener Tür zu Undichtigkeiten führen kann.However, these known from the prior art solutions still have disadvantages that can be seen in the fact that the integration of the gasket still has to be optimized, especially since the sealing lip, which rests against the door glass when the door is closed, when opening the door again has very large margin, and this can lead to adverse deformations of the sealing lip. This means that with poor radial guidance or involvement in the area of the protuberance this can lead to leaks under unfavorable circumstances even with the door closed.
Bei den beschriebenen herkömmlichen Vorderwandanbindungen wird ein Spannelement benutzt, das in radialer Richtung den Türdichtring in einer umlaufenden Nut bzw. Abkantung verspannt. Bedingt durch die Entfernung zwischen den Krafteinleitungspunkten im Bereich der Dichtlippe und der Kraftausleitung zum Spannring müssen axiale und radiale Druckkräfte durch das Elastomer aufgenommen werden. Dies führt materialbedingt zum Ausknicken und somit zu einer mangelhaften Formstabilität des überstülpten Bereichs, wodurch die Dichtlippe instabil bzw. hinsichtlich Ihrer Lage veränderbar wird. Zusätzlich wird die Formstabilität des Elastomers durch die dauerhafte Einwirkung von Lauge und Waschtemperatur verschlechtert. Dies kann bei erhöhter Lebensdauer zu Undichtigkeiten im Übergang zwischen der Dichtlippe des Türdichtringes und dem Türschauglas führen.In the described conventional front wall connections a clamping element is used, which braces the door seal in a circumferential groove or fold in the radial direction. Due to the distance between the force application points in the area of the sealing lip and the force output to the clamping ring axial and radial compressive forces must be absorbed by the elastomer. Due to the material, this leads to buckling and thus to a poor dimensional stability of the over-turned region, as a result of which the sealing lip becomes unstable or changeable with respect to its position. In addition, the dimensional stability of the elastomer is deteriorated by the long-term action of alkali and washing temperature. This can lead to leaks in the transition between the sealing lip of the door seal and the door sight glass with increased life.
Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem, die Formstabilität der Dichtungsmanschette, und hier insbesondere im Einbindungsbereich an der umlaufenden Abkantung der Gehäuseöffnung, im Hinblick auf die Stabilität zu verbessern, um auf diese Weise eine erhöhte Lebensdauer und eine zuverlässige Dichtigkeit zu erreichen.The invention thus raises the problem of improving the dimensional stability of the gasket, and here in particular in the binding region on the circumferential fold of the housing opening, in terms of stability, in order to achieve an increased life and reliable tightness in this way.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem mit einer Waschmaschine mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen 2 bis 7.According to the invention, this problem is solved with a washing machine having the features of
Die mit der Erfindung erreichten Vorteile bestehen darin, dass infolge eines zusätzlichen, separaten und kostengünstig herzustellenden Stabilisierungselementes der Anbindungsbereich der Manschette an der Abkantung der Gehäuseöffnung wesentlich stabilisiert wird, weil ein Formschluss des Stabilisierungselementes eine dem Dichtring angepasste Stützlage verleiht, die darüber hinaus noch eine zusätzliche Stabilisierung der Dichtlippe bereitstellt.The advantages achieved by the invention are that as a result of an additional, separate and inexpensive to produce stabilization element of the connection area of the sleeve is significantly stabilized at the fold of the housing opening, because a positive connection of the stabilizing element gives the sealing ring adapted supporting position, which also has an additional Stabilization of the sealing lip provides.
Dabei wirkt das Stabilisierungselement mit dem Drahtring zusammen, der vormontiert an dem Stabilisierungselement als Baugruppe zur Fixierung des Türringes an der Gehäusevorderwand leicht angebracht werden kann. Das Stabilisierungselement ist dabei so gestaltet, dass es als Kunststoffprofil extrudiert werden kann und sich aufgrund einer einseitigen Materialanhäufung beim Erkalten entsprechend der Zylinderform des Türdichtringes verformt, so dass das Strangprofil nach dem Erkalten eine Ringform einnimmt, die sich sehr leicht mit dem Spannring verbinden lässt.In this case, the stabilizing element cooperates with the wire ring, which can be easily mounted on the stabilizing element as an assembly for fixing the door ring on the housing front wall. The stabilizing element is designed so that it can be extruded as a plastic profile and deformed due to a one-sided accumulation of material when cooling according to the cylindrical shape of the door seal, so that the extruded profile after cooling assumes a ring shape that can be very easily connected to the clamping ring.
Erfindungsgemäß liegt hierbei in vorteilhafter Weise an dem überstülpten Bereich der Dichtungsmanschette ein zumindest nahezu umlaufendes Stabilisierungselement stabilisierend an, welches den Spannring aufnimmt und den überstülpten Bereich stützt. Dabei ist das Stabilisierungselement im Querschnitt im Wesentlichen V-förmig ausgebildet, so dass es mit seinen Schenkeln im ebenfalls V-förmigen überstülpten Bereich der Dichtungsmanschette, der sich zur Innenseite der Abkantung des Gehäuses erstreckt, zumindest nahezu vollständig anliegt. Somit ergibt sich eine zumindest nahezu formschlüssige Anlage insbesondere im Bereich des Manschettenrandes an der Abkantung.According to the invention, an at least approximately circulating stabilizing element is advantageously stabilizingly attached to the everted region of the sealing collar, which stabilizer accommodates the clamping ring and supports the over-pushed region. In this case, the stabilizing element is formed in cross-section substantially V-shaped, so that it with its legs in the likewise V-shaped everted portion of the gasket, which is the Inner side of the fold of the housing extends, at least almost completely rests. This results in an at least almost positive fit especially in the area of the edge of the sleeve at the fold.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind die freien Enden der Schenkel des Stabilisierungselementes jeweils nach außen hin abgewinkelt ausgebildet. Der abgewinkelte Bereich betrifft etwa 25 % bis 50 % der jeweiligen Schenkellänge des Stabilisierungselementes im Querschnitt. Somit entsprechen auch die Schenkelenden etwa der Formgebung des Manschettenrandes, so dass sich in diesem Bereich auch der Formschluss zum Manschettenrand fortsetzt.In a further development of the invention, the free ends of the legs of the stabilizing element are each angled outwardly. The angled region affects about 25% to 50% of the respective leg length of the stabilizing element in cross section. Thus, the leg ends correspond approximately to the shape of the collar edge, so that continues in this area, the positive connection to the collar edge.
In zweckmäßiger Weise ist der Spannring zwischen den Schenkeln an der Innenseite im Bereich der Spitze des V-förmigen Querschnitts des Stabilisierungselementes angeordnet. Zur Aufnahme des Spannrings für eine Vormontage sind an der Innenseite der Schenkel jeweils Rastnasen angeformt.Conveniently, the clamping ring between the legs on the inside in the region of the tip of the V-shaped cross section of the stabilizing element is arranged. To accommodate the clamping ring for pre-assembly each locking lugs are integrally formed on the inside of the legs.
Gemäß einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht das Stabilisierungselement aus einem extrudierten Kunststoff-Strangprofil, welches im Wesentlichen ringförmig ausgebildet ist, wobei die Spitze des V-förmigen Querschnitts radial innen liegt. Der Spannring drückt somit die Keilform in die vorgebende Abkantung.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the stabilizing element consists of an extruded plastic extruded profile, which is substantially annular, wherein the tip of the V-shaped cross section is radially inward. The clamping ring thus pushes the wedge shape in the predetermining fold.
In einer weiteren, vorteilhaften Ausführung hat das Stabilisierungselement über den Umfang gesehen einen im Wesentlichen symmetrischen Querschnitt. Damit kann es in beliebiger Lage, bezogen auf den Umfang, auf den Überstülpungsbereich der Manschette aufgesetzt und mit dem Spannelement versehen werden.In a further advantageous embodiment, the stabilizing element has a substantially symmetrical cross-section over the circumference. Thus, it can be placed in any position, based on the circumference, on the over-protuberance of the sleeve and provided with the clamping element.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Spannring 13 zwischen den Schenkeln 15 und 16 an der Innenseite im Bereich der Spitze 17 des V-förmigen Querschnittes des Stabilisierungselementes 14 angeordnet. Zur verbesserten Vormontage des Spannringes 13 ist es hier besonders vorteilhaft, dass an der Innenseite der Schenkel 15 und 16 jeweils Rastnasen 18 und 19 angeformt sind, die segmentweise oder vollständig umlaufend ausgeführt sind. Es versteht sich nun von selbst, dass, bevor das Stabilisierungselement 14 in den überstülpten Bereich 12 eingebracht wird, zunächst der Spannring 13 zwischen die Rastnasen 18 und 19 verbracht wird, bevor die gesamte Baugruppe dann an den überstülpten Bereich 12 und hier in den Abkantungsbereich der Gehäuseöffnung 4 eingebracht wird.In a further development of the invention, the clamping
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, dass das Stabilisierungselement 14 aus einem extrudierten Kunststoff-Strangprofil besteht, welches im Wesentlichen ringförmig ausgebildet ist, wobei durch die Materialanhäufung in der Spitze 17 des V-förmigen Querschnitts sich diese radial nach innen ausrichtet. Die selbständige Ausrichtung geschieht während des Fertigungsprozesses und wird durch die erhöhte Schrumpfung an den Stellen mit Materialanhäufung während des Erkaltens verursacht. Dieser Effekt wird hierbei für die Formgebung des ringförmigen Stabilisierungselementes 14 genutzt.It is particularly advantageous that the stabilizing
