Definitions

  • the invention relates to a domestic appliance, in particular a dishwasher, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the correct position arrangement of the door is important to maintain a uniform gap between the door and the frame parts. With a uniform gap, it is ensured, inter alia, that the inside of the door of the door is reliably in sealing contact with a, a feed opening of the work space moving sealing element.
  • the washing container opening is surrounded by a plastic frame.
  • the plastic frame has a reduced rigidity compared to a steel frame. Thus, it can lead to a deformation of the plastic frame in a slanted position of the dishwasher, whereby a sufficient overlap of the door inside the door with the frame provided on the plastic sealing element is no longer guaranteed.
  • essentially mushroom-shaped insertion aids are inserted into holes. However, this increases the assembly costs.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a household appliance, in which the appliance door in the closed position with reduced assembly costs in reliable sealing system with a sealing element.
  • the object is solved by the features of claim 1.
  • Preferred embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the subclaims.
  • the invention relates to a household appliance, in particular a dishwasher, at least comprising a container for receiving material to be treated, in particular ware having a closable with a device door container opening, at least partially associated with stiffening means to increase the rigidity of the container in the container opening are, which have at least one centering element, by the closed door a orientation of the door to the container opening can be effected.
  • the stiffening means and the at least one centering element of the same material and / or integrally formed as a plastic profile part, in particular in the plastic injection molding process Upon movement into the closed position, the appliance door is thus centered in the correct position by means of the centering element, whereby a sufficient overlap between the appliance door and the sealing element is ensured.
  • the appliance door in the closed position, is arranged at least between two mutually opposite sections of the container opening arranged stiffening means. This two-sided arrangement ensures particularly reliably that the appliance door is aligned with the opening in such a way that an optimum sealing effect is achieved.
  • the stiffening means are formed as the container opening at least partially encircling frame parts.
  • the frame parts may be arranged in a U-shaped manner on three sides of a substantially rectangular container opening and thus at the same time cause a mechanical stiffening of the container in the region of the container opening.
  • the at least one centering element defines a gap dimension (a) between the appliance door and the stiffening means.
  • the centering according to the invention ensures perfect sealing between the inside of the door and the sealing element.
  • the frame parts may form part of a, a feed opening of the washing container moving frame, in particular plastic frame.
  • the centering element can be a protrusion projecting from the frame part.
  • the bulge may preferably not only be rotationally symmetrical, but be elongated strip-shaped in a depth direction of the household appliance. As a result, a reliable lateral guidance of the appliance door between the two frame parts is ensured during a closing movement.
  • The, the front-side utility space opening pulling sealing element can be supported in a sealing groove. This can in turn be integrally formed on the frame parts.
  • the sealing groove can be designed to be open at the front.
  • the centering element integrally formed on the boundary side of the plastic frame extends as far as a section projecting from the limiting side. In this way, no undercut is formed between the centering and the projecting portion.
  • the boundary-side projecting portion may be e.g. a gradation on which the sealing element sits.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view as a household appliance, a dishwasher with half-open door.
  • FIG. 2 shows a partial sectional view along the sectional plane L-1 shown in FIG. 1;
  • Fig. 3 in a cross-sectional view of plastic injection molding tools that define an injection molding chamber for forming a plastic frame.
  • a dishwasher is shown in a perspective view as a household appliance, the front-side appliance door 1 is shown half open.
  • the dishwasher has a usable space made of stainless steel sheet washing container 3.
  • the washing container 3 is connected at its front loading opening with a plastic frame 5. This moves the front loading port and has two lateral, vertical frame parts 7, which are connected to an upper horizontal frame part 9.
  • the appliance door 1 of the dishwasher is in a known manner in two parts from a front outer part 1 1, on which approximately a furniture plate 12 is provided, and a door inner part 13 formed from deep-drawn sheet, which are shown in FIG. 2 in an indicated screw 15.
  • the door inner part 13 of the door 1 has at least partially circumferential, deep-drawn side rails 17 at the edge. In a closed position of the door 1, the side rails 17 of the door inner part 13 between facing boundary sides 19 of the frame parts 7, 9 of the plastic frame 5 are immersed.
  • the outer edge sides 21 of the side rails 17 are in the closed position of the appliance door 1 via a gap a from the boundary sides 19 of the frame parts 7, 9 spaced, as indicated in FIG.
  • Fig. 2 the appliance door 1 is shown with approximately half dipped in the plastic frame 5 side member 17 in an enlarged partial sectional view.
  • the side rails 17 of the door inner part 13 are with their front sides 23 in sealing engagement with a sealing element 25 which is provided on the boundary side 19 of the plastic frame member 5 and the feed opening of the washing container 3 moves.
  • the sealing element 25 is indicated only in dash-dotted line.
  • the plastic frame 5 has, according to FIG. 2 in cross-section designed as a U-shaped base body 24, extend in the outwardly open cavity stiffening ribs parallel to the two opposite U-legs 26 of the base body 24. At the end facing away from the front of the base body 24 is extended over a gradation 33 inwardly with a connecting flange 34 into the working space of the washing compartment 3 inside. This is overlapped in the depth direction x with the stainless steel sheet of the washing container 3 and connected by means of integrally formed connecting pin 36 with the washing container 3.
  • the connecting flange 34 is offset over the step 33 with respect to the base body 24 of the plastic frame 5 inwards.
  • the connecting flange 34 is extended with a wall portion 35 to the front of the device, which is parallel to the limiting side 19 of the plastic frame 5.
  • a sealing groove 27 is formed, which extends along the frame parts 7, 9 and the front side is open.
  • the sealing element 25 is inserted into the frame 5 on the plastic molded, front open sealing groove 27. 2, the sealing element 25 is undeformed indicated in dashed line. Consequently, the sealing element 25 has an approximately tubular upper sealing portion 28, which protrudes from the sealing groove 27, and then subsequently a sealing shaft 29 inserted in the sealing groove 27.
  • the sealing groove 27 is formed with its groove bottom, which is formed by the gradation 33, directly to the boundary sides 19 of the plastic frame 5.
  • a centering element 37 is provided on the boundary side 19 of the lateral frame parts 7, of which only one is shown in FIG.
  • the centering element 37 is formed integrally with the frame part 7 as a bulge which extends over a height h of the boundary side 19 protrudes inward.
  • the centering element 37 is formed according to the figures strip-shaped in a Bautiefencardi x and extends into the sealing groove 27, whereby a good lateral guidance of the door 1 is ensured during the closing movement.
  • the strip-shaped bulge 37 transitions directly into the groove base 33 of the sealing groove 27.
  • Such a geometry of the centering element 37 is particularly advantageous in a production of the plastic frame 5 in the injection molding process, which is illustrated with reference to FIG. 3.
  • injection molding tools 39, 40, 41 are shown, which in their closed position jointly delimit an injection molding chamber 43, with which the plastic frame 5 with integrated centering element 37 is formed.
  • the injection mold 39 is important.
  • the injection molding tool 39 adjoins the further injection molding tools 40, 41 via demoulding levels E and has a projection 45, with which the sealing groove 27 for the sealing element 25 is formed.
  • the injection molding tool 39 has a substantially planar shaping surface 47, with which the inwardly facing boundary sides 19 of the plastic frame 5 are formed.
  • a groove-shaped bulge 49 is provided, which forms the centering element 37.
  • the bulge 49 extends at a constant depth, which is identical to the height h of the centering element 37, to the front side of the mold projection 45.
  • the injection molding tool 39 can thus be pushed out of the sealing groove 27 in the demoulding direction I without having to overcome undercuts on the boundary side 19 of the plastic frame 5. Accordingly, after the shaping has taken place, the other two injection molding tools 40, 41 can also be moved apart in the demoulding direction I.
  • a holding section 46 protruding into the sealing groove 27 is provided on the wall section 35.
  • the holding section 46 secures the sealing element 25 inserted in the sealing groove 27 and is provided at the free, front end of the wall section 35.
  • an undercut is formed by the holding portion 46.
  • the wall portion 35 is sufficiently elastically bendable on the plastic frame 5 is formed. In a demolding movement of the injection molding tool 39, therefore, the wall portion 35 can escape elastically with its undercut. The Entformungsvorgang is therefore readily possible.
  • the rigid base body 24 of the plastic frame 5 can not yield elastically with its limiting side 19, so that undercuts on the limiting side are to be avoided on the rigid base body 24.
