Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Auszugsführung für einen Geschirrkorb einer Spülmaschine, bestehend aus einer am Spülbehälter einer Spülmaschine festlegbaren Führungsschiene und einer mit einem gitterartigen Geschirrkorb verbindbaren Laufschiene sowie einer auszugsverlängernden Mittelschiene, wobei die Laufschiene mit der Mittelschiene derart gekoppelt ist, dass die Laufschiene nach Aufhebung der Kopplung von der Mittelschiene in Auszugsrichtung abziehbar ist.The present invention relates to a pull-out guide for a dish rack of a dishwasher, consisting of a fixable on the washing container of a dishwasher guide rail and connectable to a lattice-like crockery track rail and an aussverlängernden middle rail, wherein the running rail is coupled to the center rail such that the running rail after lifting the Coupling of the center rail in the extension direction is removable.

Auszugsführungen der vorerwähnten Art sind an sich bekannt, wobei die Möglichkeit, den Geschirrkorb nebst Laufschiene vollständig von der Auszugsführung im übrigen zu trennen, dem Zweck dient, bei Bedarf auch großflächige Bauteile wie Backbleche oder dergleichen in einer Spülmaschine unterbringen und reinigen zu können. Auch bei eventuell erforderlich werdenden, gründlichen Reinigungsarbeiten ist es von Vorteil, wenn der Geschirrkorb nebst Laufschiene vollständig von den übrigen Bestandteilen der Auszugsführung trennbar ist.Pull-out guides of the aforementioned type are known per se, the possibility of completely separating the crockery basket along with running rail of the pullout guide, serves the purpose, if necessary, also large components such as baking trays or the like in a dishwasher to accommodate and clean. Even when eventually become necessary, thorough cleaning, it is advantageous if the crockery basket along with running rail is completely separated from the other components of the pullout guide.

Bei den bekannten Konstruktionen wird die Trennbarkeit erreicht dadurch, dass an den stirnseitigen Enden der Mittelschienen der links- und rechtsseitig angeordneten Auszugsführungen Anschlagstopfen vorgesehen sind, die bei Bedarf von den Mittelschienen entfernt werden können.In the known constructions, the separability is achieved in that stopper plugs are provided at the front ends of the middle rails of the left and right side arranged drawer guides, which can be removed if necessary from the center rails.

Eine derartige Lösung ist aus mehreren Gründen nachteilig.Such a solution is disadvantageous for several reasons.

Da die Stopfen an den stirnseitigen Enden der Mittelschienen im Normalbetrieb die Kräfte aufnehmen müssen, die beim vollständigen Herausziehen des Geschirrkorbes auftreten können, ist es erforderlich, die Stopfen fest mit den Mittelschienen zu verbinden, woraus eine entsprechend umständliche Manipulation beim Entfernen der Stopfen resultiert, sei es, dass Befestigungsschrauben gelöst werden oder Klammern zur formschlüssigen Festlegung der Stopfen an der Mittelschiene entfernt werden müssen.Since the plugs at the front ends of the center rails in normal operation must absorb the forces that can occur when completely pulling out of the dish rack, it is necessary to connect the plugs firmly with the center rails, resulting in a correspondingly cumbersome manipulation when removing the plug results that fixing screws must be loosened or brackets for positively fixing the plugs to the center rail must be removed.

Ein weiterer Nachteil der bekannten Konstruktionen liegt darin, dass für den Fall, dass nach dem erneuten Einschieben der Laufschienen in die Mittelschienen die Gefahr besteht, dass das Ansetzen und Verriegeln der Stopfen vergessen wird, was zur Folge hat, dass beim nachfolgenden Herausziehen des Geschirrkorbes dieser unkontrolliert von den übrigen Führungselementen getrennt wird und herunterfallen kann.Another disadvantage of the known constructions is that in the event that after re-insertion of the rails in the middle rails the There is a risk that the placement and locking of the plug will be forgotten, with the result that the subsequent removal of the dish rack this is uncontrollably separated from the other guide elements and may fall.

Eine weitere Auszugsführung für Geschirrspülmaschine mit einer Führungsschiene, einer Mittelschiene sowie einer Laufschiene ist aus der EP-A-1 589 291 bekannt.Another drawer slide for dishwasher with a guide rail, a center rail and a running rail is from the EP-A-1 589 291 known.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Auszugsführung der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, die sich durch eine einfache Handhabung beim Trennen der Laufschiene von der Mittelschiene ebenso auszeichnet wie durch eine automatische Sicherung zwischen Laufschiene und Mittelschiene nach einem Einschieben des Geschirrkorbes in seine Einschubposition.The present invention has for its object to provide a pullout guide of the generic type, which is characterized by ease of use when separating the track from the center rail as well as an automatic backup between track and middle rail after insertion of the dish rack in its slot position.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Kopplungsmittel aus einem mittelschienenseitig angeordneten und in Richtung der Laufschiene vorstehenden Anschlag sowie einem an der Laufschiene angeordneten und den Anschlag in Auszugsrichtung hintergreifenden Mitnehmer bestehen und der Mitnehmer durch eine Betätigungsvorrichtung quer zur Auszugsrichtung aus dem Kontaktbereich zum Anschlag herausbewegbar ist.This object is achieved in that the coupling means arranged from a middle rail side and arranged in the direction of the rail protruding stop and arranged on the running rail and the attack in the extension direction engaging behind driver and the driver by an actuator transversely to the extension direction from the contact area to the stop moved out is.

Eine derartige Konstruktion bietet den Vorteil, dass bei einer gewünschten Trennung von Laufschiene und Mittelschiene lediglich eine Betätigungsvorrichtung auszulösen ist, um die gewünschte Trennung herbeiführen zu können, da in diesem Falle der Mitnehmer aus dem Kontaktbereiche des mittelschienenseitig angeordneten Anschlages herausbewegt ist und in der Laufschiene unverlierbar verbleibt.Such a construction has the advantage that when a desired separation of running rail and center rail only an actuator is triggered to bring about the desired separation, since in this case the driver is moved out of the contact areas of the middle rail side stop arranged and captive in the running rail remains.

Eine besonders praxisgerechte Konstruktion ergibt sich dann, wenn der Mitnehmer mittels eines Kraftspeichers, bevorzugt einer Feder, in Richtung zur Mittelschiene belastet ist.A particularly practical design results when the driver is loaded by means of an energy storage device, preferably a spring in the direction of the center rail.

Hieraus ergibt sich, dass bei einem Zusammenfügen von Laufschiene und Mittelschiene nach einer vorherigen Trennung die Kopplung automatisch wieder herbeigeführt wird, da der Mitnehmer in diesem Falle den Anschlag beim Einschieben einfach überfahren und in seine Wirkposition zurückbewegt werden kann.It follows that in an assembly of track rail and center rail after a previous separation, the coupling is automatically brought back, as the driver in this case, the stop when pushing over easily and can be moved back into its operative position.

Besondere Aufmerksamkeit durch den Benutzer ist hierbei also nicht erforderlich, so dass auch die Gefahr gebannt ist, dass bei einem erneuten Herausziehen des Geschirrkorbes eine unbeabsichtigte Trennung zwischen Laufschiene und Mittelschiene erfolgt.Special attention by the user is therefore not required, so that the danger is also that when renewed pulling out of the crockery basket unintentional separation between running rail and center rail.

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung sind Gegenstand weiterer Unteransprüche.Further features of the invention are the subject of further subclaims.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 jeweils ein Spülbehälter einer ansonsten nicht weiter dargestellten Spülmaschine bezeichnet, der einen gitterartigen Geschirrkorb 2 aufnimmt, welcher seinerseits über Auszugsführungen 3, von denen aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit lediglich eine gezeigt ist, aus dem Inneren des Spülbehälter 1 in die dargestellte Beschickungsposition herausziehbar ist.In the FIGS. 1 and 2 is denoted by the reference numeral 1 respectively a washing container of a dishwasher not otherwise shown, which receives a lattice-like crockery basket 2, which in turn is shown on pullout guides 3, of which only one is shown for reasons of clarity, from the interior of the washing container 1 in the illustrated loading position is removable.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist lediglich die linksseitige Auszugsführung 3 dargestellt, zur vollständigen Führung des Geschirrkorbes 2 ist selbstverständlich auch an der rechten Seite eine entsprechende Auszugsführung vorgesehen.In the FIGS. 1 and 2 only the left-side pullout guide 3 is shown, for the complete guidance of the dish rack 2 is of course also provided on the right side a corresponding pullout guide.

Die Auszugsführung 3 besteht, was die Figuren 5 und 6 besonders anschaulich zeigen, aus einer Führungsschiene 3a, einer auszugsverlängernden Mittelschiene 3b und einer Laufschiene 3c.The pullout guide 3 is what the Figures 5 and 6 particularly clearly show, from a guide rail 3a, an auszeltverlängernden center rail 3b and a running rail 3c.

Die Führungsschiene 3a ist am Spülbehälter 1 der Spülmaschine festgelegt und die Laufschiene 3c trägt den Geschirrkorb 2, wobei ein Träger 4 zur Verbindung zwischen Geschirrkorb 2 und Laufschiene 3c vorgesehen ist. Der Träger 4 ist in beliebiger Weise an der Laufschiene 3 c befestigt und so gestaltet, dass der Geschirrkorb 2 vorzugsweise klemmend und ohne zusätzliche Befestigungsmittel in einer bestimmungsgemäßen Lage gehalten werden kann.The guide rail 3a is fixed to the washing compartment 1 of the dishwasher and the running rail 3c carries the dish rack 2, wherein a support 4 is provided for connection between the dish rack 2 and the running rail 3c. The carrier 4 is attached in any way to the running rail 3 c and designed so that the crockery basket 2 can be preferably held by clamping and without additional fastening means in a proper position.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist zwischen der Mittelschiene 3b und der Laufschiene 3c ein Wälzlagerkäfig 5 angeordnet, auf dessen Wälzkörpern 5a die Laufschiene 3c außenseitig und die Mittelschiene 3b innenseitig geführt ist.In the illustrated embodiment, a rolling bearing cage 5 is arranged between the middle rail 3b and the running rail 3c, on the rolling elements 5a, the running rail 3c on the outside and the middle rail 3b is guided on the inside.

Wie insbesondere die Figuren 7 und 8 zeigen, ist am Wälzkörperkäfig 5 zwischen der Mittelschiene 3b und der Laufschiene 3c ein in Richtung der Laufschiene 3c vorstehender Anschlag 6 vorgesehen.How the particular FIGS. 7 and 8th show, on the Wälzkörperkäfig 5 between the middle rail 3b and the running rail 3c in the direction of the running rail 3c projecting stop 6 is provided.

Dieser Anschlag 6 wird, wie in Figur 7 gezeigt, von einem Mitnehmer 7 hintergriffen, so dass beim Herausziehen des Geschirrkorbes 2 über den Mitnehmer 7 und den Anschlag 6 alle Bauteile der Auszugsführung 3 bis zum jeweiligen Endanschlag ausgezogen werden können.This stop 6 will, as in FIG. 7 shown behind engaged by a driver 7, so that when pulling out of the crockery basket 2 on the driver 7 and the stop 6 all components of the pullout guide 3 can be pulled out to the respective end stop.

Der Mitnehmer 7 ist quer zur Verschieberichtung beweglich gelagert und mit einer Betätigungsvorrichtung 8 verbunden, mittels derer der Mitnehmer 7 aus seiner Kopplungsposition gemäß Figur 7 in eine Entkopplungsposition gemäß Figur 8 bewegbar ist. In dieser Entkopplungsposition gemäß Figur 8 kann der Mitnehmer 7 über den Anschlag 6 des Wälzlagerkäfigs 5 hinwegbewegt werden, ohne dass eine Mitnahme erfolgt. Folglich kann die Laufschiene 3c, nachdem der Mitnehmer 7 den Anschlag 6 überfahren hat, vollständig von der Mittelschiene 3b getrennt werden.The driver 7 is movably mounted transversely to the direction of displacement and connected to an actuating device 8, by means of which the driver 7 from its coupling position according to FIG. 7 in a decoupling position according to FIG. 8 is movable. In this decoupling position according to FIG. 8 the driver 7 can be moved over the stop 6 of the roller bearing cage 5, without entrainment takes place. Consequently, the running rail 3 c, after the driver 7 has passed over the stop 6, completely separated from the center rail 3b.

Dies bedeutet, dass der Geschirrkorb 2 auf einfache Art und Weise vollständig von den links- und rechtsseitigen, am Spülbehälter 1 verbleibenden Teilen der dort angeordneten Auszugsführungen 3 getrennt werden.This means that the crockery basket 2 in a simple manner completely separated from the left and right side, remaining on the washing container 1 parts of the there arranged pull-out guides 3.

Soll der Geschirrkorb 2 wieder in seine bestimmungsgemäße Position gebracht werden, ist es lediglich erforderlich, die Laufschienen in die Mittelschienen "einzufädeln" und den Geschirrkorb in seine Einschubposition zurückzuschieben. Bei diesem Zurückschieben überfährt der Mitnehmer 7 den Anschlag 6 entgegen der Auszugsrichtung "A" und hintergreift somit anschließend wieder diesen Anschlag 6, so dass bei einem erneuten Öffnungsvorgang wieder eine Mitnahme und auch ein Endanschlag in maximaler Auszugsposition gewährleistet ist.If the crockery basket 2 are brought back to its intended position, it is only necessary to "thread" the rails in the middle rails and push back the dish rack in its insertion position. During this pushing over the driver 7 moves over the stop 6 against the extension direction "A" and thus subsequently engages behind this stop 6, so that in a renewed opening operation again entrainment and an end stop is guaranteed in the maximum extension position.

Um das Überfahren des Anschlages 6 durch den Mitnehmer 7 beim Einschieben des Geschirrkorbes 2 zu erleichtern, ist der Anschlag 6 mit einer zur Rückseite des Spülbehälter 1 hin ansteigenden Anlaufschräge 6a und der Mitnehmer 7 mit einer entsprechenden Abschrägung 7a ausgestattet.In order to facilitate driving over the stop 6 by the driver 7 during insertion of the dish rack 2, the stop 6 is equipped with a rising to the back of the washing container 1 starting ramp 6a and the driver 7 with a corresponding bevel 7a.

Der Mitnehmer 7 wird im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Figuren 1 bis 8 mit einer Betätigungsvorrichtung 8 gekoppelt, die integraler Bestandteil des Trägers 4 ist. Dabei ist der Träger 4 insgesamt vorzugsweise aus korrosionsbeständigem Blech hergestellt und die angeformte Betätigungsvorrichtung 8 als eine Art Biegefeder ausgestaltet, durch deren Federkraft der Mitnehmer 7 ständig in Richtung zur Mittelschiene 3b belastet ist. Soll der Mitnehmer 7 aus dieser Kopplungsposition (entsprechend der Darstellung in Figur 7) herausbewegt werden, muss die Betätigungsvorrichtung 8 entgegen der ihr innewohnenden Federkraft in die Position gemäß Figur 8 herausgezogen werden (siehe Pfeil "B" in den Figuren 7 und 8).The driver 7 is in the illustrated embodiment according to the FIGS. 1 to 8 coupled to an actuator 8, which is an integral part of the carrier 4. In this case, the support 4 is preferably made of corrosion-resistant sheet metal and the molded actuator 8 designed as a kind of spiral spring, by the spring force of the driver 7 is constantly loaded in the direction of the center rail 3b. If the driver 7 from this coupling position (as shown in FIG FIG. 7 ) are moved, the actuator 8 against its inherent spring force in the position according to FIG. 8 be pulled out (see arrow "B" in the FIGS. 7 and 8th ).

Die beiden unterschiedlichen Schwenkpositionen der Betätigungsvorrichtung 8 ergeben sich auch aus den Figuren 5 und 6, wobei Figur 5 die nicht aktivierte Betätigungsvorrichtung 8 und damit den Kopplungszustand und die Figur 6 die aktivierte Betätigungsvorrichtung 8 und damit den entkoppelten Zustand zeigt.The two different pivot positions of the actuator 8 also result from the Figures 5 and 6 , in which FIG. 5 the non-activated actuator 8 and thus the coupling state and the FIG. 6 the activated actuator 8 and thus the decoupled state shows.

Um einem Benutzer die Handhabung der Betätigungsvorrichtung 8 zu erleichtern, ist diese an ihrem freien Ende mit einem frei stehenden und somit gut zugänglichen Griffstück 8a ausgestattet, was die Figuren 5 und 6 besonders deutlich zeigen.To facilitate a user handling of the actuator 8, this is equipped at its free end with a free-standing and thus easily accessible handle 8 a, which the Figures 5 and 6 show very clearly.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel erfolgt die Kopplung zwischen Laufschiene 3c und Mittelschiene 3b, wie erwähnt, über den Wälzkörperkäfig 5.In the illustrated embodiment, the coupling between the running rail 3c and middle rail 3b, as mentioned, via the Wälzkörperkäfig fifth

Abweichend hiervon ist es natürlich auch denkbar, auf einen Wälzkörperkäfig zwischen der Mittelschienen 3b und der Laufschiene 3c zu verzichten und hier eine reine Gleitführung vorzusehen. In diesem Falle würde die Mittelschiene 3b unmittelbar mit dem Anschlag 6 ausgestattet sein.Deviating from this, it is of course also conceivable to dispense with a rolling element cage between the middle rails 3b and the running rail 3c and provide a pure sliding guide here. In this case, the middle rail 3b would be equipped directly with the stop 6.

In den Figuren 9 bis 16 sind mögliche Ausführungsformen für Betätigungsvorrichtungen 8 für den Mitnehmer 7 dargestellt.In the FIGS. 9 to 16 possible embodiments for actuators 8 for the driver 7 are shown.

So ist in den Figuren 9 bis 10b eine Betätigungsvorrichtung 8 dargestellt, die im Gegensatz zur bisher beschriebenen Betätigungsvorrichtung 8 nicht "gezogen" werden muss, sondern "gedrückt" in dem Sinne, dass durch Betätigung eines Druckes auf den unteren Bereich der Betätigungsvorrichtung 8 das Herausziehen des Mitnehmers 7 aus dem Kontaktbereich zum Anschlag 6 erfolgt.So is in the FIGS. 9 to 10b an actuator 8 is shown, which does not have to be "pulled" in contrast to the previously described actuator 8, but "pressed" in the sense that by pressing a push on the lower portion of the actuator 8, the withdrawal of the driver 7 from the contact area to stop 6 takes place.

Auch bei einer derartigen Lösung ist bevorzugt eine Variante, bei der durch eine Feder oder dergleichen der Mitnehmer 7 ständig in Richtung zur Mittelschiene 3b belastet ist.Even with such a solution is preferably a variant in which by a spring or the like of the driver 7 is constantly loaded in the direction of the center rail 3b.

Die Figuren 11 und 12 zeigen eine mögliche Ausführungsform für eine Betätigungsvorrichtung 8, die im weitesten Sinne als Drehknopf ausgebildet ist. In einer Hülse 8b mit einer gewindeartigen Führungsnut 8c ist ein Bolzen 8a mit einer Führungskugel 8d, der in die Führungsnut 8c eingreift, gelagert. Über eine Drehfeder 9, die einerseits in ein Kopfteil 8e des Bolzens 8a eingreift und andererseits mit der Hülse 8b gekoppelt ist, wird der Betätigungsstift 8a ständig in die Richtung belastet, in der ein hier nicht dargestellter Mitnehmer 7 in Kopplungsstellung gehalten wird.The FIGS. 11 and 12 show a possible embodiment of an actuator 8, which is formed in the broadest sense as a knob. In a sleeve 8b with a thread-like guide groove 8c, a bolt 8a with a guide ball 8d, which engages in the guide groove 8c stored. Via a torsion spring 9, which engages on the one hand in a head part 8e of the bolt 8a and on the other hand is coupled to the sleeve 8b, the actuating pin 8a is constantly loaded in the direction in which a not shown here driver 7 is held in the coupling position.

In den Figuren 13 und 14 ist eine Betätigungsvorrichtung 8 schematisch dargestellt, bei der ein Schieber 10 als Betätigungselement vorgesehen ist. Dieser Schieber 10 ist mit einem flexiblen Band 11 verbunden, welches an seinem freien Ende den Mitnehmer 7 trägt. Der Schieber 10 ist durch eine Feder 12 derart belastet, dass der Mitnehmer 7 ständig in Richtung zur Mittelschiene 3b belastet ist. Wird der Schieber 10 entgegen der Wirkung der Feder 12 manuell betätigt, wird über das flexible Band der Mitnehmer 7 aus seiner Kopplungsposition herausgezogen.In the FIGS. 13 and 14 an actuator 8 is shown schematically, in which a slider 10 is provided as an actuating element. This slide 10 is connected to a flexible band 11, which carries the driver 7 at its free end. The slider 10 is loaded by a spring 12 such that the driver 7 is constantly loaded in the direction of the center rail 3b. If the slide 10 is operated manually against the action of the spring 12, the driver 7 is pulled out of its coupling position via the flexible band.

Die in den Figuren 13 und 14 gezeigte Ausführungsform ist insofern besonders vorteilhaft, als sich durch die Übertragung der erforderlichen Kräfte auf den Mitnehmer 7 über das flexible Band 11 vielfältige Einbaumöglichkeiten für den Schieber 10 ergeben.The in the FIGS. 13 and 14 embodiment shown is particularly advantageous insofar as resulting from the transmission of the required forces on the driver 7 via the flexible band 11 diverse installation options for the slider 10.

So kann der Schieber 10 innerhalb einer rechtwinklig zur Verschiebeebene des Mitnehmers 7 verlaufenden Ebene angeordnet sein, ebenso können hier andere Winkelpositionen realisiert werden, ohne dass hierdurch die Funktionalität beeinträchtigt ist.Thus, the slider 10 may be disposed within a perpendicular to the sliding plane of the driver 7 extending plane, as well as other angular positions can be realized here, without affecting the functionality is impaired.

Die Figuren 15 und 16 zeigen schließlich noch eine Möglichkeit einer Betätigungsvorrichtung 8 für einen Mitnehmer 7, bei der wiederum ein Schieber 10 zur Handhabung der Betätigungsvorrichtung 8 vorgesehen ist. Mit diesem Schieber 10 verbunden ist ein keilförmiger Ausleger 13, der eine Aussparung 14 des Mitnehmers 7 durchtritt. Je nach Verschieberichtung des Schiebers 10 und damit auch des keilförmigen Auslegers 13 wird folglich der Mitnehmer 7 in seine Kopplungsstellung bewegt oder aus dieser Kopplungsposition herausgezogen.The FIGS. 15 and 16 Finally, a possibility of an actuating device 8 for a driver 7, in which in turn a slide 10 for handling the actuator 8 is provided. Connected to this slide 10 is a wedge-shaped arm 13, which passes through a recess 14 of the driver 7. Depending on the direction of displacement of the slider 10 and thus also of the wedge-shaped arm 13 consequently the driver 7 is moved into its coupling position or pulled out of this coupling position.

Durch entsprechende Anordnung von Federn 12 oder anderen Kraftspeichern, kann auch hier dafür gesorgt werden, dass der Mitnehmer 7 bei unbetätigter Betätigungsvorrichtung 10 ständig in Richtung zur Mittelschiene 3b gehalten ist.By appropriate arrangement of springs 12 or other power storage, it can also be ensured here that the driver 7 is held at unconfirmed actuator 10 constantly in the direction of the center rail 3b.

Die Figuren 9 bis 16 sollen lediglich beispielhaft zeigen, dass bezüglich der Ausgestaltung einer Betätigungsvorrichtung 8 vielfältige konstruktive Möglichkeiten bestehen. Insoweit sind die dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele nicht als abschließend zu betrachten, da weitere Varianten für einen Konstrukteur ohne weiteres denkbar sind.The FIGS. 9 to 16 should show, by way of example only, that with respect to the design of an actuator 8 manifold design options exist. In that regard, the illustrated embodiments are not exhaustive to consider, since further variants are conceivable for a designer without further ado.
