Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verschlussanordnung für eine Tür einer Wäschebehandlungsmaschine mit einer eine Beschickungsöffnung verschließbaren Tür, wobei zur Verriegelung der Tür an der Innenseite der Tür ein von der Außenseite der Tür her bedienbares Riegelelement angeordnet ist, welches mit einem an dem Öffnungsrand der Beschickungsöffnung angeordneten Schlosselement zusammenwirkt, und wobei das Schlosselement am Öffnungsrand der Beschickungsöffnung justierbar ist.The invention relates to a closure arrangement for a door of a laundry treatment machine with a door closable a loading opening, wherein for locking the door on the inside of the door operable from the outside of the door locking element is arranged, which cooperates with a arranged at the opening edge of the loading opening lock element , and wherein the lock element is adjustable at the opening edge of the loading opening.

Bei Wäschebehandlungsmaschinen wie beispielsweise bei einer Waschmaschine ist es bekannt, schlossseitig eine Einstellmöglichkeit vorzusehen, um auf diese Weise den schlossseitigen Beschlag für das türseitige Riegelelement zu justieren, so dass eine dichtende Anlage der Tür an der Beschickungsöffnung gegeben ist. Hierzu sind am schlossseitigen Beschlag Langlöcher vorgesehen, die ein Verschieben des Beschlages an am Öffnungsrand befestigten Gewindebolzen ermöglichen.In laundry treatment machines such as a washing machine, it is known to provide a setting on the lock side to adjust in this way the lock-side fitting for the door-side locking element, so that a sealing abutment of the door is given at the loading opening. For this purpose, elongated holes are provided on the lock-side fitting, which allow a displacement of the fitting to the threaded bolt attached to the opening edge.

Zudem ist aus der DE 43 04 086 C1 eine Sicherheitstürverschlussanordnung für Haushaltsgeräte insbesondere für einen Wäschetrockner bekannt, mit einem an der Tür angebrachten Rastelement und einem im Bereich der Türöffnung am Haushaltsgerät angebrachten abgefederten Gegenrastelement, bei dem das Rastelement und das Gegenrastelement in der Schließstellung der Tür eine Raststellung einnehmen, die mit der vorgegebenen Kraft wieder lösbar ist. Dabei ist ein Sicherungselement in der Anschlagleiste in mindestens zwei Stellungen einstellbar gelagert.Moreover, from the DE 43 04 086 C1 a safety door lock assembly for household appliances in particular for a tumble dryer, with a mounted on the door latching element and mounted in the door opening on the household appliance sprung counter-latching element, wherein the locking element and the counter-latching element in the closed position of the door occupy a locking position with the predetermined force is solvable again. In this case, a securing element in the stop bar is mounted adjustable in at least two positions.

Bei den nach dem Stand der Technik bekannten Verschlussanordnungen wird es als nachteilig angesehen, dass der Anpressdruck der Tür im Laufe der Zeit durch Setzverhalten der Dichtung nachlässt und es so zu Undichtigkeiten im Bereich der Türabdeckung kommt. Um hier den Anpressdruck bei einer Verschlussanordnung, wie zuerst geschildert, zu erhöhen, ist entweder eine oder es sind mehrere Scheiben zu entfernen, um auf diese Weise an den Langlöchern eine veränderte Positionierung des Schlosselementes herbeizuführen, die sich unkontrolliert vollzieht. Bei Ansetzen beispielsweise einer neuen Dichtung zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt werden die entnommenen Scheiben nicht wieder eingebaut und die Tür hat einen zu hohen Anpressdruck. Die Verriegelungsspangen der Verriegelung werden verbogen und es kommt zu Fehlfunktionen.In the case of the closure arrangements known from the prior art, it is considered to be disadvantageous that the contact pressure of the door deteriorates over time due to the settling behavior of the seal, leading to leaks in the area of the door cover. In order here to increase the contact pressure in a closure assembly, as first described, is either one or several discs to remove to bring about in this way on the slots changed positioning of the lock element, which takes place uncontrollably. For example, when applying a new seal at a later date, the removed discs are not reinstalled and the door has too high contact pressure. The lock braces of the lock are bent and malfunction occurs.

Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem eine Verschlussanordnung für eine Tür einer Wäschebehandlungsmaschine derart weiterzubilden, mit der der Anpressdruck für die Tür kontrolliert und zuverlässig eingestellt werden kann.The invention thus raises the problem of developing a closure arrangement for a door of a laundry treatment machine in such a way that the contact pressure for the door can be controlled and reliably adjusted.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem mit einer Verschlussanordnung mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 und einer Waschmaschine gemäß Anspruch 11 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.According to the invention, this problem is solved by a closure arrangement having the features of patent claim 1 and a washing machine according to claim 11. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention will become apparent from the following subclaims.

Die mit der Erfindung erreichbaren Vorteile bestehen nun darin, dass man mit der Stellscheibe die Möglichkeit hat, ohne das Entnehmen oder Hinzufügen von Zusatzteilen, wie beispielsweise Scheiben, eine kontrollierte Einstellung des Anpressdruckes von 4 mm durch unterschiedliche Positionen des Schlosselementes vorzunehmen. Beim Einbau einer Austauschdichtung lässt sich die Verriegelung nur dann schließen, wenn die Stellscheibe in der Ausgangsstellung steht.The advantages achievable with the invention consist in the fact that it is possible with the adjusting disc, without removing or adding additional parts, such as discs, make a controlled adjustment of the contact pressure of 4 mm by different positions of the lock element. When installing an exchange seal, the lock can only be closed when the adjusting disc is in the starting position.

Gemäß der Erfindung wirkt hierbei das Schlosselement mit einer Positionseinrichtung zusammen, mittels der der Anpressdruck der Tür auf die Dichtung eingestellt werden kann. Dabei ist die Positioniereinrichtung am Halteblech des Schlosselementes angeordnet, welches am Öffnungsrand der Beschickungsöffnung festgelegt ist. Das Halteblech mit dem Schlosselement ist mittels der Positioniereinrichtung am Öffnungsrand in unterschiedlichen Lagen quer zur Öffnungsebene verschiebbar und festsetzbar.According to the invention, in this case, the lock element interacts with a position device, by means of which the contact pressure of the door can be adjusted to the seal. In this case, the positioning device is arranged on the holding plate of the lock element, which is fixed at the opening edge of the feed opening. The retaining plate with the lock element is displaceable and fixable transversely to the opening plane by means of the positioning device at the opening edge in different positions.

Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht dabei die Positioniereinrichtung aus wenigstens einer Stellscheibe, die in eine Öffnung am Halteblech greift. Die Stellscheibe als solches umfasst hierbei einen Fixierkörper, der aus diametral gegenüberliegenden Nuten gebildet ist. Dabei wirken die Nuten mit in der Öffnung am Halteblech fest angeordneten, ebenfalls gegenüberliegenden Zungen zusammen. Die diametral gegenüberliegenden Nuten bilden ein Nutpaar mit unterschiedlichen Nuttiefen, so dass infolge der Verdrehung der Stellscheibe unterschiedliche Positionen des Halteblechs gegenüber dem Öffnungsrand eingenommen werden können. Somit ergibt sich jeweils mit einem Nutpaar in Verbindung mit den feststehenden Zungen eine definierte, fixierte Lage des Haltebleches am Öffnungsrand der Beschickungsöffnung. Um insbesondere den Fixierkörper zu handhaben, verfügt dieser über eine mit Rändeln versehene Scheibe, so dass insbesondere der Fixierkörper leicht und einfach in der Öffnung, wenn er von den Zungen in der Öffnung entfernt ist, verdreht werden kann. Dabei ist die Stellscheibe auf einem am Öffnungsrand der Beschickungsöffnung angeordneten Bolzen oder Gewindestift drehbar gelagert.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the positioning device consists of at least one adjusting disc which engages in an opening on the retaining plate. The adjusting disk as such in this case comprises a fixing body which is formed from diametrically opposed grooves. The grooves cooperate with in the opening on the retaining plate fixed, also opposite tongues together. The diametrically opposed grooves form a groove pair with different groove depths, so that different positions of the retaining plate relative to the opening edge can be assumed due to the rotation of the adjusting disc. Thus, in each case with a pair of grooves in conjunction with the fixed tongues results in a defined, fixed position of the retaining plate at the opening edge of the feed opening. In particular, in order to handle the fixing body, it has a disk provided with knurling, so that in particular the fixing body can be easily and simply rotated in the opening when it is away from the tongues in the opening. In this case, the adjusting disc is rotatably mounted on a arranged on the opening edge of the feed opening bolt or threaded pin.

Die Figur 1 zeigt in der perspektivischen Darstellung eine Waschmaschine 1 die hier insbesondere für den gewerblichen Bereich Verwendung findet. Die Waschmaschine 1 verfügt hierbei über ein Gehäuse 2, wobei in der Frontwand und in der Rückwand eine Tür 3 angeordnet ist. Die Tür 3 verschließt hierbei eine frontseitige Beschickungsöffnung 4, wie sie beispielsweise näher in der Figur 2 dargestellt ist, wo in Einzelansicht ein Laugenbehälter 5 in Perspektive dargestellt ist, der über eine vordere und eine hintere Beschickungsöffnung 4 und 6 verfügt. Dabei befinden sich Verschlussanordnungen 7 jeweils an den Türen 3, wobei zur Verriegelung an der Innenseite der Tür 3 ein von der Außenseite der Tür 3 her bedienbares Riegelelement 8 angeordnet ist, welches mit einem am Öffnungsrand 9 der Beschickungsöffnung 4, 6 angeordneten Schlosselement 10 zusammenwirkt. Das Schlosselement 10 ist in Detailansichten in den Figuren 3 und 4 in Perspektive sowie in Explosionsdarstellung näher zu erkennen.The FIG. 1 shows in the perspective view of a washing machine 1 which is used here in particular for the commercial sector. The washing machine 1 in this case has a housing 2, wherein in the front wall and in the rear wall, a door 3 is arranged. The door 3 closes in this case a front-side charging opening 4, as for example, closer in the FIG. 2 is shown where in perspective a tub 5 is shown in perspective, which has a front and a rear feed opening 4 and 6. In this case, closure arrangements 7 are each located on the doors 3, wherein for locking on the inside of the door 3 a operable from the outside of the door 3 ago locking element 8 is arranged, which cooperates with a arranged on the opening edge 9 of the charging opening 4, 6 lock element 10. The lock element 10 is in detail views in the Figures 3 and 4 in perspective as well as in exploded view to recognize.

Das Schlosselement 10 in isolierter Darstellung ist der Figur 5 dargestellt. Dabei ist das Schlosselement 10 am Öffnungsrand 9 der Beschickungsöffnung 4 justierbar angeordnet. Die Justierbarkeit des Schlosselementes 10 am Öffnungsrand 9 ist durch die Langlöcher 11 und 12 gegeben, die hier am Schlosselement 10 vorhanden sind. Diese Langlöcher 11 und 12 werden von am Öffnungsrand 9 vorgesehenen Bolzen 13 und 14 durchdrungen. Erfindungsgemäß wirkt hierbei das Schlosselement 10 neben den Langlöcher 11 und 12 mit einer Positioniereinrichtung 15 und 16 zusammen, mittels der der Anpressdruck der Tür 3 auf die Dichtung, hier nicht näher dargestellt, einstellbar ist. Wie aus der Zusammenschau der Figuren 3, 4 und 5 zu erkennen ist, ist die Positioniereinrichtung 15 und 16 am Halteblech 17 des Schlosselementes 10 angeordnet, welches am Öffnungsrand 9 der Beschickungsöffnung 4 festgelegt ist. Letzteres ist insbesondere in den Figuren 3 und 4 näher zu erkennen, wo in der perspektivischen Darstellung der Öffnungsrand 9 angedeutet ist. Neben dem Halteblech 17 weist das Schlosselement 10 noch ein elektromagnetisches Riegelelement 18 auf, welches am Halteblech 17 an einem abgewinkelten Blechbereich angeordnet ist.The lock element 10 in an isolated view is the FIG. 5 shown. In this case, the lock element 10 is arranged adjustable at the opening edge 9 of the feed opening 4. The adjustability of the lock element 10 at the opening edge 9 is given by the elongated holes 11 and 12, which are present here on the lock element 10. These slots 11 and 12 are penetrated by the opening edge 9 provided bolts 13 and 14. According to this invention, the lock element 10 acts in addition to the elongated holes 11 and 12 with a positioning device 15 and 16, by means of which the contact pressure of the door 3 on the seal, not shown here, is adjustable. As from the synopsis of Figures 3 . 4 and 5 can be seen, the positioning device 15 and 16 is arranged on the retaining plate 17 of the lock element 10, which is fixed to the opening edge 9 of the charging opening 4. The latter is especially in the Figures 3 and 4 to recognize closer to where in the perspective view of the opening edge 9 is indicated. In addition to the holding plate 17, the lock element 10 also has an electromagnetic locking element 18, which is arranged on the holding plate 17 on an angled sheet metal area.

Aus den Figuren 4 und 5 wird ersichtlich, dass das Halteblech 17 mit dem Schlosselement 10 mittels der Positioniereinrichtung 15 und 16 am Öffnungsrand 9, gemäß Pfeilrichtungen 19, in unterschiedlichen Lagen quer zur Öffnungsebene verschiebbar und festsetzbar angeordnet ist. Die einzelne Positioniereinrichtung 15, 16 besteht hierbei aus einer Stellscheibe 20, wie sie in der Figur 6 in Einzeldarstellung gezeigt wird. Die Stellscheibe 20 greift in eine Öffnung am Halteblech 17. Dabei besteht die Stellscheibe 20 aus einem Fixierkörper 22, wie er aus der Figur 6 zu erkennen ist. Der Fixkörper 22 ist aus diametral gegenüberliegenden Nuten 23.1 und 23.2, 24.1 und 24.2 sowie 25.1 und 25.2 gebildet, welche in der Zusammenschau der Figuren 4 und 5 mit in der Öffnung 21 am Halteblech 17 fest angeordneten, ebenfalls gegenüberliegenden Zungen 26 und 27 zusammenwirken.From the FIGS. 4 and 5 It will be seen that the retaining plate 17 is arranged with the lock element 10 by means of the positioning means 15 and 16 at the opening edge 9, according to arrow directions 19, in different positions transversely to the opening plane displaceable and fixable. The individual positioning device 15, 16 in this case consists of a setting disc 20, as in of the FIG. 6 is shown in individual representation. The adjusting disc 20 engages in an opening on the holding plate 17. In this case, the adjusting disc 20 consists of a fixing body 22, as he said FIG. 6 can be seen. The fixed body 22 is formed of diametrically opposed grooves 23.1 and 23.2, 24.1 and 24.2 and 25.1 and 25.2, which in the synopsis of FIGS. 4 and 5 with fixed in the opening 21 on the retaining plate 17, also opposite tongues 26 and 27 cooperate.

Wie aus der Figur 5 und 6 zu erkennen ist, bilden die diametral gegenüberliegenden Nuten 23.1 und 23.2, 24.1 und 24.2 sowie 25.1 und 25.2 jeweils ein Nutpaar mit unterschiedlichen Nuttiefen, wobei ein Paar 24.1 und 24.2 identische Nuttiefen aufweist. Dieses Nutpaar 24.1 und 24.2 stellt die Nullstellung des Halteblechs 17 am Öffnungsrand 9 bereit. Somit wird deutlich, dass jeweils mit einem Nutpaar in Verbindung mit den feststehenden Zungen 26 und 27 eine definierte, fixierte Lage des Halteblechs 17 am Öffnungsrand 9 der Beschickungsöffnung 4 einstellbar bzw. festlegbar ist. Bei der Darstellung der Figur 5 ist ersichtlich, dass die Lage des Halteblechs 17 durch die Positioniereinrichtung 15 und 16 in der unteren Situation dargestellt ist. Würde der Fixierkörper 22 um 180° gedreht, so käme die niedrige Nuttiefe nach oben und würde hier das Halteblech 17 nach unten drücken, wobei die untere Zunge 27 dann in die größere Nuttiefe eingreifen würde, und sich somit dann die obere Lage des Halteblechs 17 am Öffnungsrand 9 einstellen würde. Entsprechende Zwischenlagen ergeben sich aus den Nutpaaren 23.1 und 23.2 sowie 25.1 und 25.2, wobei insgesamt mit der Positioniereinrichtung 15 und 16 fünf unterschiedliche Positionen des Haltebleches 17 am Öffnungsrand positioniert werden können.Like from the FIGS. 5 and 6 can be seen, the diametrically opposed grooves 23.1 and 23.2, 24.1 and 24.2 and 25.1 and 25.2 each form a groove pair with different groove depths, with a pair 24.1 and 24.2 has identical groove depths. This groove pair 24.1 and 24.2 provides the zero position of the retaining plate 17 at the opening edge 9 ready. Thus, it is clear that in each case with a groove pair in connection with the fixed tongues 26 and 27, a defined, fixed position of the holding plate 17 at the opening edge 9 of the charging opening 4 is adjustable or fixable. In the presentation of FIG. 5 It can be seen that the position of the holding plate 17 is shown by the positioning means 15 and 16 in the lower situation. If the fixing body 22 were rotated by 180 °, then the low groove depth would come up and here would press the retaining plate 17 down, the lower tongue 27 would then engage in the larger groove depth, and thus then the upper layer of the retaining plate 17 on Opening edge 9 would adjust. Corresponding intermediate layers result from the pairs of grooves 23.1 and 23.2 and 25.1 and 25.2, wherein a total of five different positions of the retaining plate 17 can be positioned at the opening edge 15 and 16 with the positioning.

Zur Handhabung des Fixierkörpers 22 ist auf dem Fixierkörper 22 eine mit Rändeln 28 versehene Scheibe 29 angeordnet, wie sie insbesondere in der Einzeldarstellung der Figur 6 näher zu erkennen ist. Die Anzahl der Rändeln 28 am Umfang der Scheibe 29 geben hier die fünf unterschiedlichen Positionen I bis V der Einstellmöglichkeiten wieder.For handling the fixing body 22 is provided with a knurling 28 disc 29 is arranged on the fixing body 22, as in particular in the individual representation of FIG. 6 can be seen closer. The number of knurls 28 on the circumference of the disc 29 give here the five different positions I to V of the settings again.

Die Stellscheibe 20 als solches ist auf einem am Öffnungsrand 9 der Beschickungsöffnung 4 angeordneten Bolzen oder Gewindestift 30 und 31 drehbar gelagert, so dass bei Einstellung oder bzw. Positionierung des Fixierkörpers 22 dieser aus den Zungen 26 und 27 herausgehoben wird, um dann die unterschiedlichen Positionierungen I bis V des Fixerkörpers 22 einzustellen, die dann letztendlich die Lage des Halteblechs 17 am Öffnungsrand 9 bestimmen. Am Öffnungsrand 9 des Laugenbehälters 5 sind insgesamt vier Schweißbolzen 13 und 14 sowie 30 und 31 angebracht, an der das Schlosselement 10 mit dem Halteblech 17 befestigt ist. Das Halteblech 17 hat zur Befestigung am äußeren Rand zwei Langlöcher 11 und 12, wie bereits oben erwähnt. Etwas weiter innen liegend befinden sich die zwei Öffnungen mit den zwei Zungen 26 und 27 für die Aufnahme der Stellscheibe 20. Die Stellscheibe 20 besteht aus zwei Teilen, die zusammengeschweißt sind. Die Stellscheibe 20 hat am äußeren Rand Ausklinkungen von 1 bis 5 mm, um die Einstellung im eingebauten Zustand zu erkennen. Des weiteren muss man beim Nachstellen nicht erst die Stellscheibe 20 ganz ausbauen um die Einstellung zu erkennen, sondern man muss nur die Schrauben 32 etwas lösen. Zur Befestigung des Schlosselementes 10 wird dieses auf die Schweißbolzen 13 und 14 aufgeschoben und die Stellschrauben 33 rechts und links angesetzt. Beim Einsetzen der Stellscheiben 20 ist auf die Markierung der Einbaulagenstellung zu achten.The adjusting disk 20 as such is rotatably mounted on a bolt or threaded pin 30 and 31 arranged on the opening edge 9 of the charging opening 4, so that when adjusting or positioning the fixing body 22 it is lifted out of the tongues 26 and 27, in order then to achieve the different positioning I to adjust V of the fuser body 22, which then ultimately determine the position of the holding plate 17 at the opening edge 9. At the opening edge 9 of the tub 5 a total of four welding bolts 13 and 14 and 30 and 31 are attached to which the lock member 10 is fixed to the retaining plate 17. The retaining plate 17 has two slots 11 and 12 for attachment to the outer edge, as already mentioned above. Slightly inward lying are the two openings with the two tongues 26 and 27 for receiving the adjusting disc 20. The adjusting disc 20 consists of two parts which are welded together. The adjusting disc 20 has notches on the outer edge from 1 to 5 mm to recognize the setting when installed. Furthermore, you have to adjust when adjusting not only the adjusting disc 20 completely to recognize the setting, but you just need to solve the screws 32 something. To attach the lock element 10, this is pushed onto the weld studs 13 and 14 and the set screws 33 attached to the right and left. When inserting the adjusting washers 20, pay attention to the marking of the installation position.
