Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verschlussanordnung für eine Wäschebehandlungsmaschine wie beispielsweise eine Waschmaschine oder einen Wäschetrockner mit einer in einer Gehäusewand angeordneten Beschickungsöffnung an der mittels einer Scharnieranordnung eine Tür schwenkbar gelagert ist, und wobei der Scharnieranordnung gegenüberliegend eine Schlossanordnung zur Verriegelung der Tür angeordnet ist, und die Tür hinsichtlich ihrer Anschlagseite variierbar ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to a closure assembly for a laundry treating machine such as a washing machine or a tumble dryer with a housing wall disposed in a loading opening on the means of a hinge assembly a door is pivotally mounted, and wherein the hinge assembly opposite a lock assembly is arranged to lock the door, and the door is formed variable in terms of their stop side.

Aus dem Stand der Technik, wie der US 2006/0123855 A1 , sind Verschlussanordnungen bekannt, bei denen an der einen Seite der Beschickungsöffnung eine Scharnieranordnung vorgesehen ist, wobei an der anderen gegenüberliegenden Seite zum Öffnen bzw. zum Verschließen der Tür eine Schlossanordnung vorgesehen ist. Diese Art der Verschlussanordnung an Wäschebehandlungsmaschinen weist den Nachteil auf, dass insbesondere die Festlegung des Scharniers bzw. die Festlegung der Schlossseite werkseitig vorgegeben wird, wobei diese vorgegebene Anordnung der Verschlussanordnung sich insbesondere dann als nachteilig darstellen kann, wenn die Wäschebehandlungsmaschine in einem engen Raum aufgestellt wird. Dann ergibt sich das Problem, dass der Zugang zu der Beschickungsöffnung nicht optimal gegeben ist, da die Scharnierseite ungünstig liegt. Für diesen Fall besteht dann die Möglichkeit, dass beispielsweise der Tausch von Scharnier und Schlossanordnung durch einen Monteur vorgenommen werden kann, so dass die Tür dann entsprechend zur anderen Seite hin aufgeschwenkt werden kann, wobei sich der Umbau sehr aufwendig gestaltet.From the state of the art, like the US 2006/0123855 A1 , Locking arrangements are known in which on one side of the loading opening a hinge arrangement is provided, wherein on the other opposite side to open or close the door, a lock assembly is provided. This type of closure arrangement on laundry treatment machines has the disadvantage that in particular the determination of the hinge or the determination of the lock side is specified by the factory, this predetermined arrangement of the closure assembly can be particularly disadvantageous when the laundry treatment machine is placed in a narrow space , Then there is the problem that the access to the charging port is not given optimally, since the hinge side is unfavorable. For this case, then there is the possibility that, for example, the exchange of hinge and lock assembly can be made by a technician, so that the door can then be swung accordingly to the other side, with the conversion designed very expensive.

Das Scharnier setzt sich dabei aus zwei Bauteilen zusammen, die durch die Achse verbunden sind, wobei jeweils ein Scharnierteil mit der Vorderwand und ein Scharnierteil mit der Tür verschraubt ist. Ein Herauslösen der Achse aus dem Scharnier ist hierbei nicht möglich, da die Achse ein fester Bestandteil der Sicharnieranordnung ist.The hinge is composed of two components which are connected by the axis, wherein in each case a hinge part with the front wall and a hinge part is bolted to the door. A detachment of the axis from the hinge is not possible here, since the axis is an integral part of the Sicharnieranordnung.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist beispielsweise eine Türverschlussanordnung bekannt, wie sie in der US 5,187,836 A sowie der US 5,171,078 A beschrieben ist, wobei diese insbesondere das wahlweise Öffnen bei Möbeltüren oder bei einem Kühlschrank zulassen. Dabei gestalten sich diese Ausführungen in ihrer mechanischen Ausbildung sehr aufwendig und sind insbesondere für Wäschebehandlungsmaschinen äußerst ungeeignet, da sie nicht die hinreichende Stabilität und Dichtigkeit für eine Wäschebehandlungsmaschine aufweisen.From the prior art, for example, a door lock assembly is known, as shown in the US 5,187,836 A as well as the US 5,171,078 A is described, which in particular allow the optional opening in furniture doors or a refrigerator. These designs are very complicated in their mechanical training and are particularly unsuitable for laundry treatment machines, since they do not have the sufficient stability and tightness for a laundry treatment machine.

Die DE 17 10 572 A1 offenbart eine Toplader Waschmaschine, bei der die Schwenkachse der Verschlussklappe nach zwei rechtwinklig zueinander liegenden Seiten aufgeklappt werden kann. Die Scharnieranordnungen sind hierbei für jede Schwenkachse in der Klappe und an der oberseitigen Gehäusewand komplett bestückt, wobei zur jeweiligen Auswahl die nicht benötigte Schwenkachse durch bereichsweises Herausziehen deaktiviert werden kann. Das eckseitige Scharnierteil ist als Kugelgelenk ausgebildet und bietet einen fixen Lagerungspunkt.The DE 17 10 572 A1 discloses a top loader washing machine in which the pivot axis of the flap can be opened according to two mutually perpendicular sides. The hinge assemblies are in this case completely equipped for each pivot axis in the flap and on the upper-side housing wall, wherein the pivot axis not required for each selection can be deactivated by regional extraction. The corner-hinge part is designed as a ball joint and provides a fixed storage point.

Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem eine Verschlussanordnung für eine Wäschebehandlungsmaschine wie beispielsweise eine Waschmaschine oder einen Wäschetrockner derart weiter zu gestalten, die hinsichtlich der Ausgestaltung der Scharnieranordnung in einfacher Weise eine wahlweise Festlegung der Scharnieranordnung an der Beschickungsöffnung ermöglicht, unter Bereitstellung der geforderten Stabilität und Dichtigkeit.The invention thus raises the problem of further designing a closure arrangement for a laundry treatment machine such as a washing machine or a tumble dryer which makes it possible to selectively fix the hinge arrangement to the charging opening with regard to the configuration of the hinge arrangement, thereby providing the required stability and tightness ,

Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem mit einer Verschlussanordnung mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden abhängigen Ansprüchen.According to the invention, this problem is solved with a closure arrangement having the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and modifications of the invention will become apparent from the following dependent claims.

Die mit der Erfindung erreichbaren Vorteile bestehen darin, dass mit der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung einerseits der bisherige Aufbau des Scharniers beibehalten werden kann, wobei die Scharnieranordnung aus einem Bauteil besteht, das an der Vorderwand montiert wird. Das Gegenstück der Scharnieranordnung umfasst das Scharnierteil welches am Türring befestigt ist, wobei die Schwenkachse zum Scharnierteil am Türring gehörig ausgebildet ist. Ein Anschlagwechsel wird so umgesetzt, dass lediglich die Achse aus dem Scharnierteil am Türring herausgelöst wird, wobei der Türring abgenommen werden kann. Im Anschluss kann das gehäuseseitige Scharnierteil auf die andere Seite gesetzt werden und dort durch Einbringen der Achse wieder mit dem Scharnierteil am Türring verbunden werden. Dadurch, dass bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung quasi die Schwenkachse in Form eines Bolzens Bestandteil des Türringes ist, kann dieser auch entsprechend bei aufgeschwenkter Tür im Bereich des Türringes bedient bzw. gelöst und herausgenommen werden. Dadurch ergibt sich eine leichte Trennbarkeit der Tür von dem Scharnierteil, welches gehäuseseitig an der Beschickungsöffnung festgelegt ist. Ist die Tür mit der Schwenkachse von dem gehäuseseitigen Scharnierteil getrennt, besteht ein leichter Zugang, um hier das Scharnierteil am Gehäuse zu Lösen und dieses dann auf die andere Seite setzen zu können. Ist das Scharnierteil auf der anderen Seite befestigt, so kann dann wiederum der Türring angesetzt werden, wobei entsprechend auf der diametral gegenüberliegenden Seite eine entsprechende Bolzen- und Schwenkachseneinrichtung vorhanden ist, so dass dann durch Einbringen des Bolzens wieder die Wirkverbindung der Scharnierteile als solches komplettiert ist. Ein derartiger Aufbau einer Scharnieranordnung ermöglicht es nun, dass beispielsweise der Kunde bzw. der Benutzer selbst hier die Anschlagseite wechseln kann, wobei ein Montagedienst oder Service nicht unbedingt erforderlich ist.The achievable with the invention advantages are that with the inventive solution on the one hand, the previous structure of the hinge can be maintained, wherein the hinge assembly consists of a component which is mounted on the front wall. The counterpart of the hinge assembly comprises the hinge part which is attached to the door ring, wherein the pivot axis is formed to the hinge part on the door ring belonging. A stop change is implemented so that only the axis is released from the hinge part on the door ring, the door ring can be removed. Subsequently, the housing-side hinge part can be placed on the other side and there connected by introducing the axis again with the hinge part on the door ring. Due to the fact that in the solution according to the invention, as it were, the pivot axis in the form of a bolt is part of the door ring, it can also be operated or released and swung out in the area of the door ring when the door is swiveled open. This results in an easy separability of the door of the hinge part, which is fixed to the housing side of the loading opening. If the door with the pivot axis separated from the housing side hinge part, there is an easy access to here to release the hinge part on the housing and then put this on the other side. If the hinge part is fastened on the other side, the door ring can then be attached again, correspondingly having a corresponding bolt and pivot axis device on the diametrically opposite side, so that the operative connection of the hinge parts is completed as such by inserting the bolt , Such a construction of a hinge arrangement now makes it possible, for example, for the customer or the user himself to be able to change the stop side here, wherein an assembly service or service is not absolutely necessary.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, dass in vorteilhafter Weise die die Scharnieranordnung umfassende, aus wenigstens einem Bolzen gebildete Schwenkachse hier integrierter Bestandteil des am Türring befestigten Scharnierteils ist. Somit kann der Türring mit Schwenkachse von dem Scharnierteil, welches gehäuseseitig zurückbleibt, getrennt werden, um auf diese Weise eine wechselseitige Festlegung der Scharnieranordnung an der Beschickungsöffnung vorzunehmen.According to the invention, it is proposed that advantageously the hinge assembly comprising, formed from at least one bolt pivot axis is an integral part of the door ring attached to the hinge part. Thus, the door ring with pivot axis of the hinge part, which remains on the housing side, are separated to on this way make a mutual determination of the hinge assembly on the feed opening.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht die die Scharnieranordnung bildende Schwenkachse am Scharnierteil des Türringes aus vorzugsweise zwei lösbaren Bolzen. Die Bolzen sind hierbei in am Türring angeordneten Buchsenpaaren lösbar festgelegt. Hierbei sind jeweils zwei Buchsenpaare am Türringrand diametral im Randbereich des Türringes eingeformt. Infolge der beiden Buchsenpaare ergibt sich eine voll integrierte beidseitige Schwenkachsenlösung am Türringrand. In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann hierbei der einzelne Bolzen aus einem Steckstift bestehen oder aus einem Gewindestift. Eine weitere Ausführung des einzelnen Bolzens kann hierbei auch aus einem abgestuften Gewindestift hergestellt sein. Der abgestufte Gewindestift weist wenigstens drei Abstufungen auf, wobei der abgestufte Gewindestift an seiner ersten und seiner dritten Stufe einen Gewindebereich aufweist, der insbesondere mit dem jeweiligen Schenkelbereich des Buchsenpaares verschraubbar ist.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the hinge assembly forming the pivot axis on the hinge part of the door ring from preferably two releasable bolts. The bolts are here releasably fixed in arranged on the door ring bushing pairs. Here, two pairs of sockets are formed on the edge of the door ring diametrically in the edge region of the door ring. As a result of the two pairs of sockets results in a fully integrated two-sided Schwenkachsenlösung on the edge of the door ring. In a further development of the invention, in this case, the single bolt consist of a pin or a threaded pin. A further embodiment of the individual bolt can in this case also be produced from a graduated threaded pin. The graduated threaded pin has at least three gradations, wherein the stepped threaded pin has at its first and its third stage a threaded portion which is in particular screwed to the respective leg portion of the socket pair.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind zwischen den am Türring angeordneten Buchsenpaaren Halterungen für die Bolzen vorgesehen. Auch kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Raum zwischen den am Türring angeordneten Buchsenpaaren mit einer Abdeckkappe verschließbar ist. Somit kann für jede Seite entsprechend das Bolzenpaar vorgehalten werden, welches durch eine Abdeckkappe am Türdichtring verschlossen gehalten wird.In a further development of the invention, holders for the bolts are provided between the pair of bushes arranged on the door ring. It can also be provided that the space between the pair of bushes arranged on the door ring can be closed with a cover cap. Thus, for each side corresponding to the pair of bolts can be held, which is held closed by a cap on the door seal.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine Verschlussanordnung 1 für eine Wäschebehandlungsmaschine 2, wie es beispielsweise eine Waschmaschine oder ein Wäschetrockner sein kann. Die Wäschebehandlungsmaschine 2 umfasst hierbei ein Gehäuse 3, wobei in der Frontwand 4 eine Beschickungsöffnung 5 angeordnet ist, an der eine Scharnieranordnung 6 vorgesehen ist, zur schwenkbaren Lagerung einer Tür 7. Dabei ist gegenüberliegend zu der Scharnieranordnung 6 eine Schlossanordnung 8 vorgesehen, die insbesondere zur Verriegelung der Tür 7 bestimmt ist. Dabei besteht auch die Möglichkeit, dass die Tür 7 hinsichtlich ihrer Anschlagseite, die hier in der dargestellten Figur rechts vorgesehen ist, variiert werden kann, wobei dann die gesamte Schamieranordnung 6 auf die andere Seite gesetzt werden muss. Gemäß der Erfindung wird nun vorgeschlagen, dass die die Scharnieranordnung 6 umfassende, aus wenigstens einem Bolzen 9.1, 9.2 gebildete Schwenkachse 10 integrierter Bestandteil des am Türring 11 befestigten Scharnierteils 12 ist, wie dies in den Figuren 2, 3 und 4 zu erkennen ist, wo insbesondere in der Figur 2 erkennbar ist, wie das Scharnierteil 12 sich am Türring 11 einbindet.The FIG. 1 shows a closure assembly 1 for a laundry treating machine 2, as it may be, for example, a washing machine or a tumble dryer. The laundry treatment machine 2 here comprises a housing 3, wherein in the front wall 4, a loading opening 5 is arranged on which a hinge assembly 6 is provided for pivotally mounting a door 7. In this case, opposite to the hinge assembly 6, a lock assembly 8 is provided, in particular for Locking the door 7 is determined. In this case, there is also the possibility that the door 7 with respect to its stop side, which is provided here in the figure shown on the right, can be varied, in which case the entire hinge assembly 6 must be set to the other side. According to the invention, it is now proposed that the hinge assembly 6 comprehensive, formed from at least one bolt 9.1, 9.2 pivot axis 10 is an integral part of the door ring 11 attached to the hinge part 12, as shown in the Figures 2 . 3 and 4 it can be seen where, especially in the FIG. 2 It can be seen how the hinge part 12 binds to the door ring 11.

Dabei ist in Zusammenschau mit den Figuren 3, 6 und 7 zu erkennen, dass der Bolzen 9.1, 9.2 am Scharnierteil 12 des Türringes 11 lösbar ausgebildet ist, so dass das Scharnierteil 12 des Türringes 11 vom gehäuseseitigen Scharnierteil 13 trennbar ist, welches angedeutet ist in den Figuren 3, 6 und 7, so dass dadurch eine wechselseitige Festlegung der Scharnieranordnung 6 an der Beschickungsöffnung 5 vorgesehen werden kann. Betrachtet man die Figur 3, so ist erkennbar, dass zwei Bolzen 9.1 und 9.2 die Schwenkachse 10 bilden. Die Bolzen 9.1 und 9.2 können axial zu der Schwenkachse 10 herausgenommen werden, so dass sich die Situation ergibt, wie dies beispielsweise in der Figur 2 dargestellt ist, und das Scharnierteil 12 des Türringes 11 somit vom gehäuseseitigen Scharnierteil 13, wie dies in den Figuren 3, 4 und 5 dargestellt ist, abgenommen werden kann. Somit ergibt sich durch einfaches Verschieben oder Herauslösen der Bolzen 9.1 und 9.2 die Trennung von dem Scharnierteil 13, welches insbesondere an der Gehäuseöffnung 5 festgelegt ist.It is in conjunction with the Figures 3 . 6 and 7 to recognize that the bolt 9.1, 9.2 on the hinge part 12 of the door ring 11 is detachably formed, so that the hinge part 12 of the door ring 11 from the housing-side hinge part 13 is separable, which is indicated in the Figures 3 . 6 and 7 so that thereby a mutual fixing of the hinge assembly 6 can be provided at the loading opening 5. Looking at the FIG. 3 , it can be seen that two bolts 9.1 and 9.2 form the pivot axis 10. The bolts 9.1 and 9.2 can be taken out axially to the pivot axis 10, so that the situation arises, as for example in the FIG. 2 is shown, and the hinge part 12 of the door ring 11 thus from the housing-side hinge part 13, as shown in the Figures 3 . 4 and 5 is shown, can be removed. Thus, by simply displacing or releasing the bolts 9.1 and 9.2, the separation from the hinge part 13, which is fixed in particular to the housing opening 5.

Dabei besteht, wie insbesondere in der Figur 3 aber auch in den Figuren 4 und 5 zu erkennen ist, die die Scharnieranordnung 6 bildende Schwenkachse 10 am Scharnierteil 12 des Türringes 11 aus den zwei lösbaren Bolzen 9.1 und 9.2. Die Bolzen 9.1 und 9.2 sind jeweils in am Türring 11 angeordneten Buchsenpaaren 14.1 und 14.2, sowie 15.1 und 15.2 lösbar festgelegt, wie dies in den Darstellungen der Figuren 3 und 4 bzw. 5, 6, 7 und 8 zu erkennen ist.
