Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a laundry care apparatus having a cabinet-shaped housing, which has on its front side a door with a handle for opening a lock of the door.
  • the publication EP 0 728 861 A1 shows a washing machine.
  • the patent GB 893 945 A shows a washing machine.
  • top loaders are the opening for filling the laundry care device at the top, where a flap is arranged, which allows for opening the access to the interior of the housing and thus also to the laundry drum.
  • the laundry drum can in this case have a horizontal or a vertical axis of rotation.
  • front loaders the laundry drum is mounted horizontally with respect to its axis of rotation and opened to the front. Therefore, there is a suitably round opening on the front, which can be closed by a door.
  • this door is designed as a so-called porthole.
  • Such a door usually has a viewing window, which is arranged in a door frame.
  • the door itself usually has a round, the opening of the housing adapted form, but may also have other shapes.
  • the door is hinged to the housing, the door being pivotable about a substantially vertical axis so as to expose the opening of the housing.
  • Doors of Wäschenchetzen usually also have a locking device, since especially in washing machines due to the large amounts of water, the door must be closed and sealed.
  • a lock is also the safety, since in centrifuges of washing machines large centrifugal forces and thus large vibrations can occur.
  • Such locking devices are thus conveniently located on the opposite side of the hinge of the door, so that possibly against the door falling or oppressive against these amounts of water or laundry items can not open the door.
  • the locking device By default, located approximately on the horizontal axis of the frontal opening of the housing of a laundry care device, usually the handle for opening is arranged at this point.
  • the DE 10 2006 029 202 A1 a washing machine having a flap and a movable handle member disposed substantially above the horizontal centerline of the flap, the flap being rotatable about a substantially vertical hinge axis.
  • the locking device in this case is a Schnepper, which is arranged on the horizontal center line of the flap, in order to achieve a better locking effect, since the Schnepper this is exactly opposite to the hinge.
  • the Schnepper also has a vertical axis which is parallel to the hinge axis of the flap.
  • the handle is arranged at an acute angle ⁇ to the Schnepperachse, said angle can be a maximum of 80 °.
  • the disadvantage of this embodiment is that the grip element and Schneppervor substances are spatially separated from each other on the flap. As a result, complex deflection mechanisms are necessary in order to move the Schneppervortechnisch by actuation of the handle and so to open the lock.
  • the present invention thus had the object of providing a laundry care device that allows an ergonomically favorable grip position for the door of the washing machine.
  • a laundry care device with a cabinet-shaped housing having on its front side a door with an opening device, wherein the door is pivotally mounted on a substantially vertical axis, and wherein the opening means comprises a locking device for locking the door with a locking opening in the housing corresponds, and a handle element comprises.
  • the handle member is pivotable about a substantially horizontal axis, wherein the door is to be opened by pivoting the handle member, and the horizontal axis of the handle member is disposed below the locking device, wherein the locking device is mechanically coupled to the handle member, so by pivoting the handle member in the opening direction of the door at the same time the locking device is moved so that a release is effected.
  • the starting point of the present invention is thus a laundry care device, such as a washing machine or a dryer or a washer-dryer, which is designed as a front loader.
  • Front loaders have a door on the front of the unit, unlike top loaders on the top, and the door is designed like a cabinet door, i. it is pivotable about a substantially vertical axis and can thus release the opening to the interior of the device when the door is opened.
  • the vertical axis of the door is typically formed in the form of a hinge, which is conveniently located at the horizontal centerline of a typically round door.
  • a locking device is further provided, which corresponds to a locking opening in the housing.
  • this locking device is located directly opposite to the hinge, as in this way the forces acting from the inside on the door can best be distributed and thus the door closes most secure.
  • a viewing window also called sight glass
  • the sight glass is usually surrounded by a round frame. This frame is equipped with a handle element for opening the door.
  • the grip element is a part of the door.
  • the grip element is designed as part of the frame.
  • the grip element should be placed as possible in an ergonomically favorable location. It is therefore preferable to provide the upper part of the door or of the frame of the door with this handle element or to design it as such, since this is the most ergonomic place for the user to touch the door without stooping. It is important that the grip element is pivotable about a horizontal axis.
  • the horizontal axis of the handle member is preferably at the lower end thereof so that the entire handle member pivots in the same direction, typically this will be away from the front wall and towards the user.
  • the horizontal axis is formed by a hinge, via which the grip element can be pivoted.
  • the hinge is preferably attached to the lower edge of the handle member. But it is also possible that the hinge is mounted toward the center, so that the handle element is pivoted when actuated according to the principle of a rocker. However, a one-armed pivoting of the handle element is preferred, which requires an external hinge.
  • the opening device further comprises, in addition to the grip element, a locking device which corresponds to a locking opening in the housing.
  • a locking device which corresponds to a locking opening in the housing.
  • Such locking devices are already known in the art. As already mentioned, it is particularly advantageous if the locking device is located in the region of the horizontal center line of the door.
  • a bolt is used, for example in the form of a Schneppers, which corresponds to the locking with a counter-element, which is located in the locking opening or behind, and thus can be locked, for example.
  • the latch By changing the position of the locking device, the latch can be released and so a release can be effected.
  • the gripping element and the locking device are coupled to one another in such a way that, by pivoting the gripping element in the opening direction of the door, the locking device is simultaneously moved so that an unlocking is effected. It is possible to effect the unlocking of the door via a separate actuator. In a preferred embodiment, however, the gripping element and the locking device are coupled together.
  • the locking device is fixedly arranged or fastened on the grip element such that the locking device is raised by actuating (ie pivoting) the grip element.
  • the locking can be solved with the counter element.
  • it can also be provided other mechanical couplings, which allow unlocking when opening the door by pivoting the handle member.
  • the handle member is easily pivoted about its horizontal axis toward the user.
  • the locking device is unlocked, and the entire door begins to open with the handle element still slightly pivoted present to the user.
  • the handle member is provided with a return means (e.g., a spring or the like) so that it returns to its original position without further application of force, i.e., a return spring. is flush with the remaining parts of the frame.
  • a further advantage of the invention is that the mechanism for actuating the locking device can be kept simpler, since the grip element is coupled to the locking device and is preferably fastened directly thereto. While expensive constructions had to be devised in the prior art in order to couple a spatially separated locking element with a tiltable grip element, this mechanical connection is now simplified. In the simplest case, the Locking device to be mounted directly on the handle element. If this is tilted by a few degrees, so also raises the locking device, and the door can be opened.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a washing machine 1 in a frontal view of the front 3, which shows the door 10.
  • the washing machine has a housing not shown in detail 2, as well as on the front side 3, the already mentioned door 10, which has a viewing window 11 in the middle, which is enclosed by a frame 24.
  • the frame 24 is annular, wherein from the ring a slightly more than half auskersdes ring segment is divided as opening means 12. Visible from the opening device 12, only the handle member 20 which is attached via two hinges 21 on the remaining part of the frame 24.
  • the two hinges 21 lie on a horizontal straight line and form a horizontal axis 22.
  • a hinge 13 for the door which has a vertical axis 14 about which the door 10 is pivotable.
  • FIG. 2 shows the same embodiment as FIG. 1 but in a perspective view.
  • the door 10 is shown in a half-open state.
  • the door has a sight glass 11 which is bordered by a frame 24.
  • the frame 24 is annular, and a segment of this ring having a horizontal axis 22 represents the handle member 20.
  • the handle member 20 is shown pivoted in this case, the locking means 16 has been brought into an oblique position, whereby it pulled out of the locking hole 18 could be.
  • FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 again shown schematically in a sectional view.
  • the interior of the washing machine consisting of a drum 15 and a tub 17, which are both attached by a sealing collar 19 to the door opening.
  • the door opening is closed by the door 10.
  • Perpendicular through the door runs the vertical axis, which is also the axis about which the door is pivoted about the door hinge 13 (not shown).
  • the handle member 20 which is shown in a solid line in the closed state and in a dashed line in the open, pivoted state. In order to operate the grip element 20, the user merely needs to pull it to himself and thus to pivot.
  • the pivot axis 23 of the handle member 20 is then at an angle ⁇ to the vertical axis of the door fourteenth
  • FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of a washing machine 1 according to the present invention in a further preferred embodiment.
  • the frame 24 is not annular, but has a handle member 20 which has an outer contour at a right angle.
  • This has the advantage that the grip element 20 not only has a single highest point, but the highest point is a horizontal line. This allows even better handling for the user.
  • the grip element 20 is also arranged only in the upper right quarter of the ring and has only a single hinge 21.
  • the remaining frame is connected to the door hinge 13 and pivots, as already described above about a vertical axis.
  • the hinge 21 is not directly connected to the frame 24, but extends rod-shaped inside in the handle member 20. Thus pivots when actuated the upper part of the handle member 20 forward, and a small part to the rear.
  • FIG. 5 is the same washing machine as in FIG. 4 shown, only with slightly swiveled handle. Visible in the approach is thereby the locking device 16 and the associated locking device 18, wherein the locking device 16 is coupled to the handle member 20 so that upon pivoting thereof the locking device 16 from the locking hole 18 is releasable. A counter element, which holds the locking device 16 in its position and thus causes the locking is not shown, only the opening 18, in which engages the locking device 16.
  • FIG. 6 Yet another position of the door 10 of the same washing machine mentioned is shown, wherein the handle member 20 is now back to its original position has fallen, namely is vertical and is flush with the frame 24. However, the door 10 is opened in its entirety and the locking device 16 does not communicate with the locking opening 18 in this position.
  • FIGS. 9, 10, 11 and 12 again show two different embodiments of handle members 20 respectively in the front view and in a position in which the handle member 20 is pivoted and the door is slightly open.
  • the individual components are as in the FIGS. 4 to 6 arranged.
