Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Besteckhalterung und eine Spülguthaltevorrichtung für einen Geschirrkorb einer Geschirrspülmaschine, einen Geschirrkorb mit einer Besteckhalterung und/oder einer Spülguthaltevorrichtung und eine Geschirrspülmaschine mit einem Geschirrkorb.The invention relates to a cutlery holder and a Spülguthaltevorrichtung for a crockery basket of a dishwasher, a crockery basket with a cutlery holder and / or Spülguthaltevorrichtung and a dishwasher with a crockery basket.

Bei einem herkömmlichen Geschirrkorb für Geschirrspülmaschinen ist ein Grundgestell aus Metalldraht aus Korrosions- und hygienischen Gründen mit einer harten Polyamidschicht überzogen. Beim Spülvorgang können Vibrationen durch den Pumpenbetrieb auf den Geschirrkorb und auf das darin lagernde Spülgut übertragen werden was zu Klappergeräuschen und Stößen führt. Weiterhin können beim Herausziehen oder Hineinschieben des Geschirrkorbes Bewegungen und Stöße zwischen dem gelagerten Spülgut und zwischen dem Spülgut und dem Geschirrkorb auftreten, so dass die Gefahr einer Beschädigung des Spülguts besteht.In a conventional dish rack for dishwashers, a base frame made of metal wire for corrosion and hygienic reasons is covered with a hard polyamide layer. When flushing vibrations can be transmitted by the pump operation on the crockery basket and the stored therein dishes, resulting in rattling noises and bumps. Furthermore, when pulling out or pushing in the crockery basket movements and shocks between the stored items and between the items to be washed and the crockery basket occur, so there is a risk of damage to the items to be washed.

Aus der Druckschrift EP 0 186 157 A1 ist ein Besteckkorb mit Besteckaufnahmen bekannt, der entweder vollständig aus Kunststoff oder aus einem Metall mit entsprechender Kunststoffummantelung gefertigt ist.From the publication EP 0 186 157 A1 a cutlery basket with cutlery receptacles is known which is made either entirely of plastic or of a metal with corresponding plastic casing.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Geschirrkorb, eine Besteckhalterung, eine Spülguthaltevorrichtung und eine Geschirrspülmaschine mit einem dieser Elemente vorzusehen, bei denen der Bedienungskomfort und die Bedienungssicherheit erhöht sind. Insbesondere ist bei deren Verwendung die Geräuschbildung und die Gefahr einer Beschädigung des gelagerten Spülguts reduziert.It is an object of the invention to provide a crockery basket, a cutlery holder, a Spülguthaltevorrichtung and a dishwasher with one of these elements, in which the ease of use and operator safety are increased. In particular, in their use the Noise and the risk of damage to the stored dishes reduced.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1, 3, 4, 5, 17 bzw. 18 gelöst.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1, 3, 4, 5, 17 and 18, respectively.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand von Unteransprüchen.Advantageous embodiments are the subject of dependent claims.

Gemäß Anspruch 1 ist die Oberfläche einer Besteckhalterung, insbesondere eines Besteckkorbs, Messerkorbs, einer Besteckschublade oder eines Besteckeinsatz, oder einer Spülguthaltevorrichtung, insbesondere einer Tassenauflage oder eines Gläserhalters, für einen Geschirrkorb einer Geschirrspülmaschine, zumindest in einem oder mehreren Teilbereichen mit einer weichen Oberflächenbeschichtung beschichtet.According to claim 1, the surface of a cutlery holder, in particular a cutlery basket, knife basket, a cutlery drawer or a cutlery insert, or Spülguthaltevorrichtung, in particular a cup support or a glass holder, for a dish rack of a dishwasher, at least in one or more sub-areas coated with a soft surface coating.

Ein Geschirrkorb für eine Geschirrspülmaschine wird zumindest in Teilbereichen mit einem weichen Material überzogen oder beschichtet. Weiches Material schließt insbesondere ein elastisches Material, ein gummiartiges Material und/oder ein Material mit erhöhtem Haftreibungswert mit ein.A dish rack for a dishwasher is coated or coated at least in some areas with a soft material. Soft material includes in particular an elastic material, a rubber-like material and / or a material having an increased static friction value.

Beim Beladen oder Handhaben des Geschirrkorbs zufällig auftretende oder durch Vibrationen ständig wiederkehrende Stöße zwischen empfindlichem Spülgut (insbesondere Gläser) und den Geschirrkorb bzw. zwischen dem Geschirrkorb und anderen Teilen einer Geschirrspülmaschine werden durch die weiche Beschichtung gedämpft. Dadurch werden einerseits das Spülgut oder andere Teile der Geschirrspülmaschine geschont und andererseits wird auch der Verschleiß des Geschirrkorbs reduziert bzw. eine Beschädigung beispielsweise der Lager oder der darunterliegenden, harten Oberfläche verhindert.When loading or handling the crockery basket randomly occurring or constantly repeating vibrations between sensitive items (especially glasses) and the crockery basket or between the crockery basket and other parts of a dishwasher are damped by the soft coating. As a result, on the one hand the dishes or other parts of the dishwasher are spared and on the other hand, the wear of the dish rack reduces or prevents damage to, for example, the bearings or underlying hard surface.

Vorteilhaft sind nur Teilbereiche des Geschirrkorbs mit der weichen Beschichtung überzogen, ganz besonders vorteilhaft zumindest Anlagebereiche für das zu lagernde Spülgut. Auf diese Weise wird Beschichtungsmaterial eingespart, während die Funktion der weichen Beschichtung in keiner Weise eingeschränkt ist. Durch die weiche Beschichtung werden auch Klappergeräusche vibrierender Spülgutteile im Geschirrkorb weitgehend gedämpft. Auch erhöht sich durch die weiche Lagerung der Widerstand gegen eine Verschiebung des Spülguts z.B. während des Ein- und Ausfahrens des Geschirrkorbs, was die Wahrscheinlichkeit des Umfallens des Spülguts oder von Stößen reduziert. Auch ein Verkratzen von empfindlichen Oberflächen des Spülguts bei Verschiebungen an der Geschirrkorboberfläche ist ausgeschlossen.Advantageously, only portions of the dish rack coated with the soft coating, very particularly advantageous at least investment areas for the dishes to be stored. In this way, coating material is saved, while the function of the soft coating is in no way limited. Due to the soft coating, rattling noises of vibrating items in the dish rack are also largely damped. Also, due to the soft bearing, the resistance to displacement of the dishes increases, e.g. during retraction and extension of the crockery basket, which reduces the likelihood of falling over the dishes or bumps. Also, scratching of sensitive surfaces of the items to be washed during shifts on the Geschirrkorboberfläche is excluded.

Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung sind zusätzlich oder alternativ Griffelemente mit der weichen Beschichtung zumindest teilweise versehen. Dies erhöht einerseits das ästhetische Empfinden des Nutzers, der den Geschirrkorb händisch bewegt. Andererseits ist der Bedienkomfort bzw. die Bediensicherheit verbessert, da mit erhöhtem Formschluss zum weichen Material und/oder mit erhöhter Haftreibung die Gefahr des Abrutschens minimiert ist. Dies trifft auch an Stellen oder auf Elemente des Geschirrkorbs zu, die nicht speziell als Griffelement ausgebildet sind, sondern sich zum Greifen eignen. Beispielsweise obere Gitterstäbe, an denen der Geschirrkorb zum Entnehmen aus der Geschirrspülmaschine ergriffen wird.In a further advantageous embodiment, grip elements are additionally or alternatively provided with the soft coating at least partially. On the one hand, this increases the aesthetic sensation of the user who moves the dishwashing basket by hand. On the other hand, the ease of use and the operating safety is improved because with increased positive engagement with the soft material and / or with increased static friction, the risk of slipping is minimized. This is also true in places or on elements of the dish rack, which are not designed specifically as a handle element, but are suitable for gripping. For example, upper grid bars on which the dish rack is taken for removal from the dishwasher.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist die weiche Beschichtung auf eine Grundbeschichtung, insbesondere eine Polyamid-Beschichtung, des Geschirrkorbs aufgebracht. Die Grundbeschichtung überzieht vorteilhaft das vollständige Grundgestell des Geschirrkorbs und stellt den Korrosions- und Spülmittelschutz des Grundgestells bereit. Damit wird für die Materialwahl der weichen Beschichtung eine höhere Flexibilität erreicht.In an advantageous embodiment, the soft coating is applied to a base coat, in particular a polyamide coating, of the dish rack. The base coat advantageously coats the entire base of the dish rack and provides the corrosion and detergent protection of the base. Thus, a higher flexibility is achieved for the choice of material of the soft coating.

Beispiele für weiches Beschichtungsmaterial sind Polyoximethylen (POM), Polypropylene, thermoplastische Elastomere (TPE) oder EPDM (Ethylen-Propylen-Dien-Kautschuk). Diese Materialien sind alle geeignet, um eine Geräuschentwicklung sowie ein Verkratzen oder andere Beschädigungen des Spülgutes zu vermeiden. Vorteilhaft liegt die Beschichtungsstärke im Bereich von 0,1 bis 3 mm, ganz besonders vorteilhaft im Bereich von 0,2 bis 1 mm. Die Materialeigenschaft weich bedeutet hier weich gegenüber der Grundbeschichtung oder dem Grundmaterial des Geschirrkorbs, der Besteckhalterung oder der Spülguthaltevorrichtung. Insbesondere ist das Material weicher als der üblicherweise verwendete Kunststoffgrundkörper oder die Kunststoffbeschichtung. Vorteilhafterweise wird ein Materialaufbau gewählt, der eine Shore A-Härte von höchstens 95, besser höchstens 70 und am günstigsten höchstens 55, aufweist. Es ist weiterhin vorteilhaft, wenn der Elastizitätswert der weichen Beschichtung höchstens die Hälfte oder ein Drittel des Elastizitätswerts des Grundmaterials (Kunststoff) oder der Grundbeschichtung beträgt.Examples of soft coating material are polyoxymethylene (POM), polypropylenes, thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) or EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene rubber). These materials are all suitable to avoid noise, scratching or other damage to the items to be washed. The coating thickness is advantageously in the range from 0.1 to 3 mm, very particularly advantageously in the range from 0.2 to 1 mm. The material property soft here means soft against the base coating or the base material of the dish rack, the cutlery holder or Spülguthaltevorrichtung. In particular, the material is softer than the commonly used plastic body or the plastic coating. Advantageously, a material structure is selected which has a Shore A hardness of at most 95, better at most 70, and most preferably at most 55. It is furthermore advantageous if the elasticity value of the soft coating is at most half or one third of the elasticity value of the base material (plastic) or the base coating.

Vorteilhafte Verfahren, mit denen die weiche Beschichtung auf das Grundgestell des Geschirrkorbs oder eine darauf befindliche Grundbeschichtung aufgebracht wird, sind beispielsweise die Wirbelpulverbeschichtung, das Tauchverfahren, das Besprühen oder das Umspritzen. Letzteres eignet sich besonders zum Auftragen einer TPE-Schicht. Als eine ganz besonders geeignete Beschichtungsart hat sich die Sinterbeschichtung, vor allem die Wirbelsinterbeschichtung, herausgestellt, bei der sich kosteneffektiv eine gewünschte Beschichtung auf vorgegebenen Bereichen eines Grundgestells abscheiden lässt, ohne das Material des Grundgestells oder einer darauf vorhandenen Beschichtung besonders zu beanspruchen.Advantageous methods by which the soft coating on the base of the crockery basket or on it For example, the whirling powder coating, the dipping method, the spraying or the overmolding are applied. The latter is particularly suitable for applying a TPE layer. As a particularly suitable type of coating, the sintered coating, especially the fluidized bed coating, has proven to be cost effective in depositing a desired coating on predetermined areas of a base without significantly stressing the material of the base or any coating thereon.

Die Grundform oder das Grundgestell des Geschirrkorbs, der Besteckhaltung oder der Spülguthaltevorrichtung kann aus mehreren Elementen zusammengesetzt oder einteilig ausgebildet sein. Die Grundform ist beispielsweise aus gebogenen Drahtelementen, einem Kunststoffspritzgussteil, einem tiefgezogenen Blechelement oder dergleichen ausgebildet. An der Grundform sind vorzugsweise zusätzliche Elemente angeordnet, wie beispielsweise Rastelemente, Lagerelemente, Rollen oder dergleichen. Diese zusätzlichen Elemente sind vorteilhaft ebenfalls mit einer weichen Beschichtung ganz oder teilweise überzogen.The basic shape or the base frame of the crockery basket, the cutlery position or the Spülguthaltevorrichtung can be composed of several elements or formed in one piece. The basic shape is formed for example of bent wire elements, a plastic injection molded part, a deep-drawn sheet metal element or the like. On the basic shape, additional elements are preferably arranged, such as latching elements, bearing elements, rollers or the like. These additional elements are advantageously also completely or partially coated with a soft coating.

Entsprechend den obigen Ausführungen ist die weiche Beschichtung auch auf der Besteckhaltevorrichtung und/oder auf der Spülguthaltevorrichtung nach Anspruch 1 oder anderen Teilen eines Geschirrkorbs entsprechend anwendbar. Die Vorteile der Geräuschreduzierung, der Erhöhung der Griffsicherheit und einer besseren Sicherung des Spülguts gegen ein Verrutschen treffen auf diese Elemente ebenfalls zu.According to the above embodiments, the soft coating is also applicable to the cutlery holder and / or on the Spülguthaltevorrichtung according to claim 1 or other parts of a dish rack accordingly. The advantages of noise reduction, the increase in grip and a better backup of the dishes against slippage also apply to these elements.

Eine Besteckhaltevorrichtung ist beispielsweise eine aus dem Geschirrspülraum ausziehbare Besteckschublade, eine schwenkbar am Geschirrkorb gelagerte Besteckablage, eine Messerablage insbesondere zur Aufnahme großer Messer, ein aus dem Geschirrkorb entnehmbarer Besteckkorb oder dergleichen.A cutlery holding device is, for example, a cutlery drawer which can be pulled out of the dishwashing compartment, a cutlery tray pivotally mounted on the dish rack, a knife rest, in particular for holding large knives, a cutlery basket which can be removed from the dish rack or the like.

Eine Spülguthaltevorrichtung ist ein am Geschirrkorb permanent oder wiederlösbar befestigtes Element. Vorzugsweise ist es schwenkbar am Geschirrkorb gelagert und bei Bedarf in den Laderaum einschwenkbar, beispielsweise eine Tassenauflage oder ein schwenkbarer Tellereinsatz. Vorteilhaft ist auch ein Gläserbügelhalter, wie er z.B. aus der EP 1 356 761 A2 bekannt ist, zumindest teilweise weich beschichtet. Die Spülguthaltevorrichtung ist vorteilhaft mit Polyamid als Grundbeschichtung beschichtet und kann aus einem Metalldraht und/oder aus Kunststoff gefertigt sein.A Spülguthaltevorrichtung is a permanent or retractable attached to the dish basket element. Preferably, it is pivotally mounted on the crockery basket and, if necessary, can be pivoted into the loading space, for example a cup pad or a pivotable plate insert. Also advantageous is a lens holder, as he eg from the EP 1 356 761 A2 is known, at least partially soft coated. The Spülguthaltevorrichtung is advantageously coated with polyamide as a base coat and can be made of a metal wire and / or plastic.

Da die Spülguthaltevorrichtung vom Geschirrkorb abgeklappt werden kann und sie das im Geschirrkorb lagernde Spülgut zum Beispiel auch an der Unterseite berührt, ist eine vollständige Beschichtung vorteilhaft. Zur Beschichtung der Spülguthaltevorrichtung und des Besteckeinsatzes kommen vorzugsweise die gleichen Materialien und Verfahren zur Anwendung wie bei der Beschichtung des Geschirrkorbes oder der Besteckhalterung.Since the Spülguthaltevorrichtung can be folded away from the dish rack and it touches the stored in the dish rack items, for example, on the bottom, a complete coating is advantageous. To coat the Spülguthaltevorrichtung and the cutlery insert preferably the same materials and methods are used as in the coating of the dish rack or cutlery holder.

Wie oben bereits erwähnt, ist die weiche Beschichtung vorteilhaft auf einem Griffelement des Geschirrkorbs, der Besteckhalterung oder der Spülguthaltevorrichtung vorgesehen, beispielsweise auf dem Griff des Besteckeinsatzes oder dem vorderen, oberen Drahtbügel des Geschirrkorbs. Dabei ist einerseits die Griffigkeit für den Benutzer beim Herausnehmen oder Einsetzen erhöht und andererseits resultiert daraus ein höherer BedienungskomfortAs already mentioned above, the soft coating is advantageously provided on a handle element of the dish rack, the cutlery holder or the Spülguthaltevorrichtung, for example on the handle of the cutlery insert or the front, upper wire hanger of the dish rack. On the one hand the grip for the user when removing or insertion increases and on the other hand results in a higher ease of use

Nachfolgend wird ein teil-beschichteter Geschirrkorb als eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung näher beschrieben.Hereinafter, a partially-coated crockery basket will be described as an advantageous embodiment.

Ein Geschirrkorb für eine Geschirrspülmaschine ist aus einem Grundgestell aus Draht gefertigt. Das Grundgestell ist vollständig mit einer Schutzbeschichtung überzogen, die einen Korrosions- und Spülmittelschutz bereitstellt. Die Korbinnenseite des grundbeschichteten Geschirrkorbs, d.h. die nach innen weisenden Oberflächen der Drähte, ist mit einer aufgesprühten, weichen Beschichtung aus TPE überzogen. Diese weiche Beschichtung dämpft eine Übertragung von Schwingungen und Stößen vom Geschirrkorb auf das darin lagernde Geschirr und vermindert eine Geräuschentwicklung beim Pumpenbetrieb während der Spüldurchläufe und beim Ein- und Ausfahren des Geschirrkorbs.A dish rack for a dishwasher is made of a basic frame made of wire. The base frame is completely covered with a protective coating that provides corrosion and detergent protection. The basket inside of the ground-coated dish rack, i. the inward-facing surfaces of the wires are covered with a sprayed soft TPE coating. This soft coating dampens transmission of vibration and impact from the crockery basket to the dishes stored therein, and reduces noise in pump operation during purging and retraction and extension of the crockery basket.
