Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cross-piece for a household appliance, wherein the household appliance has a housing with a left side element and a right side element, the traverse having a first holding element, which is adapted to be connected to the left side element, with a second holding element, adapted to be connected to the right side member, the cross member having a truss body with a transverse extension that is greater than a vertical extent of the truss body and greater than a depth extension of the truss body, and wherein the truss body is adapted to along its Transverse extension to connect the left side member and the right side member together, so as to provide a stabilizing effect between the left side member and the right side member.
  • the invention further relates to an assembly for the assembly of a household appliance.
  • the invention also relates to a household appliance with a traverse.
  • the term "household appliance” is understood to mean large household appliances, including in particular washing machines and tumble dryers. Such household appliances usually have a left and a right side element, a bottom plate, a rear wall, a lid and a front element or front panel. These parts or the elements that carry these parts are commonly referred to as a housing of the household appliance.
  • a vibrating system with a drum in a washing machine or a tumble dryer.
  • the drum is accessible through a door from the front or through a flap from above.
  • a control panel with controls and indicators.
  • the control panel has at least a part of the electronics of the household appliance and cables for the electrical supply and signal transmission.
  • the control panel may also have water-bearing elements.
  • a metal cross member which is produced as a sheet metal bent part.
  • the Traverse serves to connect the left and right side element or the left and right side wall.
  • a household appliance of this kind is for example in DE 41 39 588 A1 shown.
  • the object is achieved by a traverse mentioned above, in which the truss body is made of plastic and having a base plate which extends substantially in a plane which is spanned by transverse extent and height extent, wherein on the base plate Webs are formed, which have at least one crossing point in a plan view of the plane which is spanned by transverse extension and height extension.
  • the left and right side element can be both cover plates and frame parts of the household appliance.
  • the Applicant has also found in connection with the invention that the known metal crossbars may have sharp corners, which are still partially ridge.
  • the Applicant has also recognized that the sharp edges may cause cables to be damaged or pre-damaged during installation, and that cables may chafe at the sharp-edged corners over many hundreds of hours of operation.
  • the traverse according to the invention has a truss body made of plastic, inherently no sharp-edged corners arise due to the principle. The problem of the prior art recognized by the Applicant then no longer occurs.
  • the assembly process can be simplified, since the truss body made of plastic offers special opportunities to realize additional functional elements on the traverse. According to the prior art, such functional elements had to be manufactured separately and fastened to the metal cross member, since an integral manufacture of the metal cross member with the functional elements would have been disproportionately expensive.
  • truss body is intended to express that there may be additional elements that ultimately make up the truss in its entirety. However, the truss body represents the largest element of the traverse and provides the stability and robustness needed to connect the left and right side members and sidewalls together.
  • a peculiarity which has a considerable share of the required stability and robustness of the traverse, are the webs which are formed on the base plate, which have at least one crossing point in plan view. It should be understood at the intersection of the situation that the course of a web penetrates the course of the other bridge.
  • two webs which intersect or penetrate at a crossing point can already provide adequate stabilization.
  • at least three, in particular more than three, webs are formed on the base plate, which have in plan view at least two crossing points, in particular more than two crossing points.
  • Such a web arrangement causes the traverse can be well intercepted even with very uneven loads from different directions, as it regularly occurs during operation of a household appliance, the forces occurring. That's the way it is now makes it possible for the first time to replace the known metal cross member without sacrificing a permanent stability by a truss body made of plastic.
  • the webs extend away from the base plate along the depth extension, in particular away from both sides of the base plate, and / or in a plan view of the plane, which is spanned by transverse extension and height extension, the webs have a triangular , Quadrangular or honeycomb shape.
  • the truss body in a plane which is spanned by transverse extension and height extension, a recess which is adapted to receive a drawer or a container for a drawer.
  • This embodiment is advantageous because the traverse can now perform another function.
  • Many household appliances have a drawer into which an additive, e.g. a detergent, is filled for the operation of the household appliance.
  • an additive e.g. a detergent
  • Such a drawer is exposed to considerable loads over the years, especially in the case of operating errors by the user.
  • the fact that the drawer can now be inserted into said recess in the truss body, the truss body provides a very good abutment to ensure that forces that are introduced through the drawer, can be easily absorbed.
  • the truss body has a circumferential wall whose base line extends substantially in a plane which is spanned by transverse extension and height extension, and whose height extends in the direction of the depth extension, in particular on both sides of the base plate of the truss body.
  • the encircling wall offers on the one hand the advantage of an additional reinforcement of the traverse.
  • the stability is advantageously further promoted by the fact that at least one web, preferably more than half of the webs, in particular all webs, end with at least one end on the peripheral wall.
  • the peripheral wall can be advantageously used to protect lying inside the truss body elements.
  • the truss body has a protective wall whose baseline extends substantially in a plane which spanned by transverse extension and height extension is, and whose height extends in the direction of the depth extension, wherein the baseline is substantially a closed polyline, so that the protective wall is adapted to form at least a portion of a space in which a board can be accommodated splash-proof.
  • This embodiment provides an easy way to use the crossbeam, e.g. to provide a splash guard for an electronics, at least with respect to certain directions, from which splashing could come during operation. It is particularly advantageous if the protective wall extends on the base plate and thereby encloses a closed part of the base plate inside. In this way, a splash protection from several sides can be realized in a simple manner.
  • the room should be only splash-proof, but not waterproof, it is advantageously possible to interrupt the protective wall at one point, for example, to allow a cable guide into the splash-proof room inside.
  • Such an advantageous embodiment will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment.
  • the truss body on guide elements which are adapted to guide at least one cable in the traverse or along the traverse, wherein the guide elements are designed in particular as substantially parallel guided walls whose baselines substantially in one Run level, which is spanned by transverse extent and height extent.
  • This embodiment offers a convenient way to move cables or parts of a wiring harness within the household appliance particularly simple and secure. Furthermore, the embodiment is advantageous because the guide elements can represent a mechanical protection for the cable or a part of a wiring harness. In particular, it is advantageous if the guide elements a part the protective wall or end at the protective wall. In this way, despite an opening in the protective wall excellent splash protection can be achieved.
  • the truss body to a feedthrough element which extends substantially in the direction of the depth extension and which is adapted to allow the passage of at least one cable from the front of the cross member to the back of the cross member, wherein the lead-through in particular has a length in the direction of the depth extension, which is greater than the depth extent of the truss body.
  • the lead-through element provides a simple way of protecting the cable, even if it is subjected to continuous vibration. It is particularly advantageous if the lead-through element has an approximately U-shaped cross section along its longitudinal extent.
  • the object is achieved by an assembly for the assembly of a household appliance, the assembly with a previously described Traverse and with a wiring harness, wherein the traverse and the wiring harness are formed such that the wiring harness after assembly of the traverse of can be inserted into the front of the crossbeam and held there by the crossbeam.
  • the assembly in particular if the traverse has a feedthrough element, all these problems can be solved.
  • the leadership of the cable or the wiring harness is particularly simple, since the construction of the cross member, in particular by means of the lead-through element, allows easy insertion, in particular exclusively from the front. Because the truss is made of plastic, there are no sharp edges that could damage a cable or harness during continuous operation. Therefore, the assembly not only reduces the parts cost, but also saves labor costs when assembling the home appliance.
  • the wiring harness is at least partially guided in a cable channel, wherein the cable channel has connecting elements with which the cable channel can be held on the household appliance.
  • the assembly can be installed even more efficient in the home appliance.
  • the wire harness After the wire harness is inserted into the household appliance, it can be easily fixed by means of the connecting elements relative to the household appliance.
