Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Geschirrspülmaschine, insbesondere eine Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine, nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, according to the preamble of claim 1.

In der Großserienproduktion ist ein montagetechnisch einfacher sowie zeitsparender Zusammenbau einer Geschirrspülmaschine von Bedeutung, deren Tragstruktur insbesondere den Spülbehälter sowie weitere Geräteaggregate trägt.In mass production, a mounting technology simpler and time-saving assembly of a dishwasher of importance, the support structure carries in particular the washing and other equipment units.

Eine Tragkonstruktion einer Geschirrspülmaschine kann einen Montageboden als Tragbodenstruktur aufweisen, der an seinen beiden frontseitigen Eckbereichen jeweils eine Scharnierplatte aufweist. Unter dem Begriff Montageboden kann dabei, insbesondere auch im Hinblick auf die Erfindung, vorzugsweise auch eine Bodenbaugruppe oder Basisträgerbaugruppe verstanden werden, auf die der Spülbehälter der Geschirrspülmaschine aufgesetzt wird. In ihr können verschiedene Funktionskomponente der Geschirrspülmaschine wie z.B. eine Laugepumpe, Umwälzpumpe, Steuereinrichtung, ein Leistungsmodul, usw.... untergebracht sein. An den beiden Scharnierplatten des Montagebodens kann einerseits die Gerätetür schwenkbar angelenkt sein. Andererseits können die Scharnierplatten den dazwischen angeordneten Spülbehälter tragen, abstützen und/oder lagefixieren. Insbesondere kann dazu an ihnen ein am Spülbehälter im Bereich dessen frontseitiger Beschickungsöffnung angebrachtes Tragrahmenteil fixiert bzw. befestigt sein. Der Spülbehälter kann ggf. auch geräterückseitig unmittelbar auf dem Montageboden abgestützt sein. Der Spülbehälter kann zweiteilig aus einer oberen, im Querschnittsprofil von vorne betrachtet U-förmigen Blechhaube, die die Seiten-, Rück- und Deckwand des Spülraums bildet, und einer Kunststoff-Bodenwanne ausgeführt sein, die zwischen den beiden Scharnierplatten des Montagebodens gehaltert sein kann. Die von der Blechhaube begrenzte, frontseitige Beschickungsöffnung des Spülbehälters kann von einem Tragrahmenteil entlang einem frontseitigen Randbereich teilweise oder ganz umzogen sein, der insbesondere aus Kunststoffmaterial hergestellt ist. Diese Art der Konstruktion kann ggf. insbesondere auch bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Geschirrspülmaschine verwendet werden.A support structure of a dishwasher may have a mounting base as a support floor structure which has a hinge plate at its two front corner areas. The term assembly floor can, in particular also with regard to the invention, preferably also be understood to mean a floor assembly or base support assembly to which the washing container of the dishwasher is placed. In it, various functional components of the dishwasher such as a lye pump, circulating pump, control device, a power module, etc .. be housed. On the two hinge plates of the mounting base, on the one hand, the appliance door can be pivoted. On the other hand, the hinge plates can carry, support and / or fix the intermediate rinsing container arranged therebetween. In particular, a carrier frame part attached to the washing container in the region of its front-side feed opening can be fixed or fastened to it. If necessary, the washing container can also be supported on the back of the appliance directly on the mounting floor. The rinsing container can be made in two parts from an upper, in the cross-sectional profile viewed from the front U-shaped sheet metal hood, which forms the side, rear and top wall of the washing compartment, and a plastic bottom pan, which can be supported between the two hinge plates of the mounting base. The limited by the metal cover, front loading opening of the washing can be partially or completely wrapped by a support frame part along a front edge region, which is in particular made of plastic material. If necessary, this type of construction can also be used in a dishwashing machine according to the invention.

Z.B. ein Anheben der Geschirrspülmaschine kann eine oberseitige Tischplatte der Geschirrspülmaschine oder Küchenarbeitsplatte oder eine Deckenwandung einer Einbaunische untergriffen werden. Die Tischplatte oder Arbeitsplatte wird meist unmittelbar mit dem Tragrahmenteil verbunden, so dass die Hubkräfte bis zu den Anbindungsstellen zwischen dem Tragrahmenteil und den Scharnierplatten weitergeleitet werden. Beim Anheben der Geschirrspülmaschine wirken daher sowohl die Hubkräfte als auch gegensinnig dazu die Gewichtskräfte des Montagebodens auf diese Anbindungsstellen. Entsprechend sind an diese Anbindungsstellen hohe Anforderungen bezüglich Festigkeit zu stellen.For example, Lifting the dishwasher, a top-side table top of the dishwasher or kitchen worktop or a ceiling wall of a niche can be attacked. The table top or worktop is usually connected directly to the support frame part, so that the lifting forces are forwarded to the connection points between the support frame part and the hinge plates. When lifting the dishwasher therefore both the lifting forces and in the opposite direction to the weight forces of the mounting floor act on these connection points. Accordingly, high demands are to be made on strength at these connection points.

Beim Spülbehälter der Geschirrspülmaschine der EP 0 711 527 A1 sind an den beiden Schenkeln 11, 13 des U-förmigen "support frame 10" bzw. Tragrahmens "bearing members 18, 19, d.h. Scharnierplatten lediglich geklemmt angebracht.When washing the dishwasher of the EP 0 711 527 A1 are on the two legs 11, 13 of the U-shaped "support frame 10" or support frame "bearing members 18, 19, ie hinged plates mounted only clamped.

Bei der DE 44 43 918 A1 sind entsprechend der Textstelle in Spalte 6, Zeilen 43 - 55 (siehe auch Anspruch 18) die freien Enden 26' der Rahmenschenkel 25' des über den vorderen Rand des Spülbehälters 10'übergestülpten U-förmigen Rahmens 20' mit Verlängerungen 27'verbunden. Diese sind "... in einer unterhalb des Spülbehälters 10' angeordneten Montagewanne 7'aufgenommen und von dieser, aufgrund der Lage von Aufnahmebohrungen 8'für die Verlängerungen 27', verspannt".In the DE 44 43 918 A1 are according to the passage in column 6, lines 43-55 (see also claim 18), the free ends 26 'of the frame legs 25' of over the front edge of the Spülbehälters 10'übergestülpten U-shaped frame 20 'with extensions 27'verbunden. These are "... in a below the washing container 10 'arranged mounting trough 7' received and from this, due to the location of receiving holes 8'für the extensions 27 ', braced".

Bei der US 4, 359, 250 findet sich in der Spalte 4, Zeilen 29 - 31 lediglich die ganz allgemeine Angabe "Hinge support flanges 82 are suitably secured to legs 64 and 66 just above cross member 78. Flanges 82 provides mounts for the door hinge assembly (not shown)".In the US 4,359,250 in column 4, lines 29 - 31, only the very general statement "Hinge support flanges 82 are suitably secured to legs 64 and 66 just above cross member 78. Flanges 82 provides mounts for the door hinge assembly (not shown)".

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, eine Geschirrspülmaschine mit stabiler Tragstruktur bereitzustellen, mit der ein einfacher Zusammenbau ermöglicht ist.
Die Aufgabe ist durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.
Dadurch, dass bei der erfindungsgemäßen Geschirrspülmaschine, insbesondere Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine, mit einem Spülbehälter, an dem im Bereich seiner frontseitigen Beschickungsöffnung ein Tragrahmenteil angebracht ist, wobei das Tragrahmenteil an zumindest einem bodenseitigen Halterungsteil befestigt ist, das Tragrahmenteil des Spülbehälters über mindestens eine Rastverbindung mit dem bodenseitigen Halterungsteil verbunden ist, ist eine konstruktiv einfacherer und leichterer Zusammenbau der erfindungsgemäßen Geschirrspülmaschine bereitgestellt.
The object of the invention is to provide a dishwasher with a stable supporting structure, with which a simple assembly is made possible.
The object is solved by the features of claim 1.
Characterized in that in the dishwasher according to the invention, in particular domestic dishwasher, with a washing container, in which a supporting frame part is mounted in the region of its front loading opening, wherein the support frame part is attached to at least one bottom support member, the support frame part of the washing through at least one latching connection with the bottom side support member is connected, a structurally simpler and easier assembly of the dishwasher according to the invention is provided.

Die erfindungsgemäße Geschirrspülmaschine weist vorzugsweise ein, eine frontseitige Beschickungsöffnung eines Spülbehälters umziehenden Tragrahmenteil auf. Dieses ist insbesondere an zumindest einem bodenseitigen Halterungsteil, vorzugsweise einer bodenseitigen Stützstrebe, bevorzugt einer Scharnierplatte eines Montagebodens, befestigt. Erfindungsgemäß ist das Tragrahmenteil über mindestens eine Rastverbindung mit dem bodenseitigen Halterungsteil, insbesondere der Stützstrebe, verbunden. Das Tragrahmenteil bzw. der Tragrahmen, der insbesondere ein- oder mehrteilig ausgebildet sein kann, kann daher in einfacher Weise beim Zusammenbau auf das Halterungsteil, insbesondere die Stützstrebe des Montagebodens gesetzt und gleichzeitig damit verrastet werden, wodurch zusätzliche Montageschritte, etwa zur Verschraubung der Stützstrebe am Tragrahmen, entfallen können. Dabei kann bereits schon allein, d.h. ausschließlich die erfindungsgemäße Verrastung zur Befestigung des Tragrahmens und des bodenseitigen Halterungsteils aneinander genügen. Weitere Fixierungsmittel wie z.B. Schrauben oder Nieten wie bei herkömmlichen Konstruktionen von Geschirrspülmaschinen, die einen Werkzeuggebrauch erfordern, sind nun nicht mehr erforderlich. Die erfindungsgemäße Rastverbindung erlaubt in vorteilhafter Weise eine montagefreundliche Steckbewegung des Tragrahmens auf das bodenseitige Halterungsteil beim Zusammenbau der erfindungsgemäß konstruierten Geschirrspülmaschine.The dishwashing machine according to the invention preferably has a supporting frame part which moves around a front loading opening of a washing container. This is in particular at least one base-side support member, preferably a bottom-side support strut, preferably a hinge plate of a mounting base attached. According to the invention, the support frame part is connected via at least one latching connection with the base-side support part, in particular the support strut. The support frame part or the support frame, which may be formed in particular one or more parts, can therefore be set in a simple manner during assembly on the support member, in particular the support strut of the mounting base and simultaneously locked so that additional assembly steps, such as for screwing the support strut on Support frame, can be omitted. It already alone, ie only the latching according to the invention for attachment of the support frame and the bottom side Bracket to satisfy each other. Other fixatives such as screws or rivets as in conventional designs of dishwashers that require a tool use, are now no longer necessary. The latching connection according to the invention advantageously allows a mounting-friendly plug-in movement of the support frame to the bottom-side support member during assembly of the dishwasher constructed according to the invention.

Insbesondere kann es zweckmäßig sein, wenn bei der Geschirrspülmaschine, insbesondere Haushaltsgeschirrspülmaschine, mit einem Spülbehälter, an dem im Bereich seiner frontseitigen Beschickungsöffnung ein Tragrahmenteil angebracht ist, wobei der Spülbehälter auf einer Tragbodenstruktur sitzt, die ein bodenseitiges Halterungsteil aufweist, und wobei das Tragrahmenteil an dem bodenseitigen Halterungsteil angebracht ist, das Tragrahmenteil des Spülbehälters und das bodenseitige Halterungsteil lediglich mittels einer oder mehrerer Rastverbindungen in ihre Zusammenfügerichtung, insbesondere werkzeugfrei, aneinanderkoppelbar und in ihrer Endmontageposition in Auseinanderziehrichtung gegen Lösen fixiert sind. Dies erleichtert die Montage der Geschirrspülmaschine und sichert zugleich in zuverlässiger Weise den Zusammenhalt deren Montagekomponenten Spülbehälter und Tragbodenstruktur.In particular, it may be expedient if in the dishwasher, in particular domestic dishwasher, with a rinsing container to which a support frame part is attached in the region of its front loading opening, wherein the rinsing container sits on a support base structure having a bottom-side support member, and wherein the support frame part on the is mounted on the bottom side support member, the support frame part of the washing and the bottom support member are fixed only by means of one or more snap-in connections in their assembly direction, in particular tool-free, aneinanderkoppelbar and in their final assembly position in the direction of separation against loosening. This facilitates the assembly of the dishwasher and at the same time reliably ensures the cohesion of their components flushing container and supporting floor structure.

Zur Herstellung der Rastverbindung können sowohl an dem bodenseitigen Halterungsteil, insbesondere der Stützstrebe, als auch am Tragrahmen jeweils miteinander zusammenwirkende Rastelemente vorgesehen werden. Die Rastelemente können dabei im Hinblick auf eine Bauteilreduzierung materialeinheitlich und einstückig jeweils an dem Halterungsteil, insbesondere der Stützstrebe, und am Tragrahmen integriert sein. Die so hergestellte Rastverbindung kann bevorzugt durch Ansetzen eines entsprechenden Werkzeuges wieder gelöst werden.To produce the latching connection, latching elements cooperating with each other may be provided both on the base-side support part, in particular the support strut, and on the support frame. The locking elements can be integrated materially and integrally with respect to a component reduction in each case on the support member, in particular the support strut, and on the support frame. The latching connection produced in this way can preferably be released again by applying a corresponding tool.

Die Anbindungsstelle zwischen dem Tragrahmenteil und den bodenseitigen Halterungsteilen, insbesondere den Scharnierplatten, wird vor allem dann stark belastet, wenn die Geschirrspülmaschine im oberen Bereich untergriffen und dann angehoben wird. In diesem Fall wirkt die gesamte Gewichtskraft des mit Gerätekomponenten bestückten Montagebodens auf diese Anbindungsstelle. Um daher eine sichere Halterung des Tragrahmens auf den beiden bodenseitigen Halterungsteilen, insbesondere den Stützstreben der Scharnierplatten des Montagebodens, zu gewährleisten, ist der jeweiligen Rastverbindung insbesondere ein Höhenanschlag zugeordnet, der den Tragrahmen gegen ein Lösen vom jeweiligen bodenseitigen Halterungsteil, insbesondere von der jeweiligen Stützstrebe, in der Gerätehochrichtung sichert.The connection point between the support frame part and the base-side support parts, in particular the hinge plates, is especially heavily loaded when the dishwasher is engaged in the upper area and then lifted. In this case, the entire weight of the fitted assembly components with device components acts on this connection point. In order to ensure a secure mounting of the support frame on the two bottom support members, in particular the support struts of the hinge plates of the mounting base, is the respective latching connection assigned in particular a height stop, which secures the support frame against loosening of the respective bottom-side support member, in particular of the respective support strut in the device vertical direction.

Der Höhenanschlag kann in Doppelfunktion zugleich auch ein Rastelement der Rastverbindung sein. Sofern die jeweilige Stützstrebe aus einem Blechmaterial gefertigt ist, kann das Rastelement aus dem Blechmaterial gestanzt und als eine Blechlasche aus der Stützstrebe abgebogen werden. Die als Höhenanschlag wirkende Blechlasche kann in der Gerätehochziehrichtung von dem zweiten Rastelement der Rastverbindung untergriffen sein. Bei einem vertikalen Anheben der Geschirrspülmaschine ist somit betriebssicher ein unbeabsichtigtes Loslösen des Tragrahmens von der Stützstrebe verhindert. Das zweite Rastelement kann im Unterschied zur oben erwähnten Blechlasche als eine elastisch nachgiebige Rastlasche ausgeführt sein. Die elastisch nachgiebige Rastlasche kann beim Zusammenfügen des Tragrahmens mit der Stützstrebe unter Aufbau einer Rückstellkraft ausweichen und bei lagerichtiger Positionierung die starre Blechlasche überwinden und diese hintergreifen.The height stop can be in a double function at the same time also a locking element of the locking connection. If the respective support strut is made of a sheet metal material, the latching element can be punched from the sheet material and bent as a sheet metal tab from the support strut. The sheet metal tab acting as a height stop can be underrun in the device pulling direction by the second latching element of the latching connection. With a vertical lifting of the dishwasher thus reliable inadvertent release of the support frame is prevented by the support strut. The second locking element may be executed in contrast to the above-mentioned sheet metal tab as an elastically resilient locking tab. The elastically yielding locking tab can escape when assembling the support frame with the support strut to build up a restoring force and overcome the rigid sheet metal tab in positionally correct positioning and reach behind this.

Um ein einfaches Zusammenfügen des Tragrahmens mit der Stützstrebe zu unterstützen, kann der Tragrahmen an seinem, der Stützstrebe zugewandten Ende zweckmäßigerweise einen Positionierschacht aufweisen. Im zusammengebauten Zustand kann die Stützstrebe in den Positionierschacht einragen, während der Positionierschacht beim Fügevorgang eine lagerichtige Positionierung gewährleisten kann.In order to assist a simple assembly of the support frame with the support strut, the support frame may expediently have a positioning shaft at its, the support strut end facing. In the assembled state, the support strut can protrude into the positioning shaft, while the positioning shaft can ensure a correct position positioning during the joining process.

Um ein versehentliches Lösen der Rastverbindung zu vermeiden, ist diese bevorzugt geschützt vor äußeren mechanischen Belastungen angeordnet. Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn die Rastverbindung zwischen einer Seitenwand des Positionierschachts und der Stützstrebe ausgeführt ist. Um dabei einen einfachen Werkzeug-Zugriff zur Rastverbindung zu gewährleisten, kann die tragrahmenseitige Rastlasche einfach zugänglich in der, in Gerätebreitenrichtung äußeren Seitenwand des Positionierschachts angeordnet sein. In dieser äußeren Seitenwand des Positionierschachts kann darüber hinaus ein seitlich von außen zugängliches Werkzeug-Fenster vorgesehen sein. Die Rastlasche kann dabei unmittelbar am unteren Fensterrand dieses Werkzeugfensters angeordnet werden.To avoid accidental release of the latching connection, this is preferably protected from external mechanical stresses. It is particularly preferred if the latching connection between a side wall of the positioning shaft and the support strut is executed. In order to ensure a simple tool access to the locking connection, the support frame-side locking tab can be easily accessible in the, arranged in the device width direction outer side wall of the positioning shaft. In addition, a laterally accessible tool window can be provided in this outer side wall of the positioning shaft. The locking tab can be arranged directly on the lower edge of the window of this tool window.

Die Geometrie des Positionierschachts ist vorzugsweise derart gestaltet, dass sie der Formgebung der darin einzusetzenden Stützstrebenkontur der jeweiligen Stützstrebe angepasst folgt. Insbesondere kann dabei der Positionierschacht einen Tiefenanschlag aufweisen, der in Bautiefenrichtung des Spülbehälters eine im Wesentlichen spielfreie Anlage zwischen dem Tragrahmen und der Stützstrebe ermöglicht. Zudem kann der Positionierschacht einen Seitenanschlag aufweisen, der Bewegungsspiel zwischen dem Tragrahmen und der Stützstrebe in Gerätebreitenrichtung unterbindet.The geometry of the positioning shaft is preferably designed such that it follows the shaping of the support strut contour of the respective support strut to be inserted therein. In particular, the positioning shaft may have a depth stop, which allows a substantially backlash-free contact between the support frame and the support strut in the depth direction of the washing container. In addition, the positioning shaft can have a side stop, which prevents movement play between the support frame and the support strut in the device width direction.

Bevorzugt ist die Scharnierplatte beziehungsweise die Stützstrebe aus einem Blechmaterial mit ausreichend großer Blechstärke ausgebildet, um eine geforderte Bauteilstabilität bereitzustellen. Entsprechend ist die aus der jeweiligen Stützstrebe herausgebogene Blechlasche insbesondere weitgehend starr ausgeführt, während die jeweilig damit zusammenwirkende Kunststofflasche des Tragrahmenteils im Vergleich dazu elastisch nachgiebig ist. Zum Lösen der Rastverbindung wird daher das Werkzeug bevorzugt an der jeweiligen Kunststoff-Lasche angesetzt.Preferably, the hinge plate or the support strut is formed from a sheet material having a sufficiently large sheet thickness in order to provide a required component stability. Accordingly, the sheet metal tab bent out of the respective support strut is in particular designed to be substantially rigid, while the respectively cooperating plastic bottle of the support frame part is elastically yielding in comparison thereto. To release the locking connection, therefore, the tool is preferably attached to the respective plastic tab.

Für eine spielfreie Halterung des Tragrahmenteils kann es insbesondere zweckmäßig sein, wenn die Spaltbreite des Positionierschachts gering bemessen ist, dass heißt in etwa der Materialstärke der Stützstrebe entspricht. In diesem Fall wird beim Zusammenfügen der Positionierschacht unter Aufbau einer Rückstellkraft ausgeweitet. Um das Zusammenfügen weitgehend behinderungsfrei zu gestalten, kann die Stützstrebe als eine Einführhilfe eine seitlich abragende Ausprägung aufweisen. Die in der Stützstrebe eingeformte Ausprägung dient dazu, den Positionierschacht beim Zusammenfügen auszuweiten. Bevorzugt kann die Blechlasche unmittelbar in der seitlich, insbesondere in Gerätebreitenrichtung abragenden Ausprägung eingeformt sein.For a play-free mounting of the support frame part, it may be particularly useful if the gap width of the positioning shaft is dimensioned small, that is approximately equal to the material thickness of the support strut. In this case, when assembling the positioning shaft is expanded under construction of a restoring force. In order to make the assembly largely disability-free, the support strut can have as an insertion aid a laterally projecting expression. The molded in the support strut expression is used to expand the positioning shaft during assembly. Preferably, the sheet metal tab can be molded directly in the laterally, in particular in the device width direction protruding expression.

In der Fig. 1 ist ausschnittsweise sowie beschränkt auf einen vorderen, unteren Eckbereich der Geschirrspülmaschine eine Tragbodenstruktur von außen betrachtet gezeigt, die den Spülbehälter 1 der Geschirrspülmaschine trägt. Auf dieser Tragbodenstruktur sitzt also der Spülbehälter 1 auf. Der in der Fig. 1 nicht dargestellte gegenüberliegende vordere Eckbereich der Geschirrspülmaschine ist demgegenüber mit einer dazu spiegelbildlich gestalteten Tragbodenstruktur ausgebildet.In the Fig. 1 is fragmentary and limited to a front, lower corner region of the dishwasher, a supporting floor structure viewed from the outside, which carries the washing compartment 1 of the dishwasher. Thus, the washing container 1 sits on this support structure. The Indian Fig. 1 In contrast, opposite front corner region of the dishwasher, which is not illustrated, is designed with a supporting floor structure which is designed as a mirror image of it.

Wie aus der Fig. 1 hervorgeht, weist der die Tragbodenstruktur des Spülbehälters 1 einen Montageboden 3 mit seitlich hochgezogenen, umlaufenden Seitenwänden auf. Im Montageboden 3 sind in an sich bekannter Weise Gerätekomponenten, etwa eine Laugenpumpe und/oder eine Umwälzpumpe, angeordnet. Der Montageboden kann insbesondere auch in Form einer Bodenbaugruppe oder einer Basisträgerstruktur ausgebildet sein. Der Montageboden 3 ist beispielhaft aus Kunststoff gefertigt und weist gemäß der Fig. 1 einen Montageschacht 5 auf, in dem als eine nach oben ragende Stützstrebe ein Scharnierträger, insbesondere eine Scharnierplatte 7 eingesetzt ist. Die Scharnierplatte 7 ist aus einer Blechplatine geformt und als ein starres, tragendes Bauteil mit entsprechend großer Blechstärke ausgeführt. An der Scharnierplatte 7 ist einerseits in einer Lageröffnung 9 ein nicht dargestellter Scharnierhebel für eine Gerätetür angelenkt, wodurch diese um eine in der Fig. 1 gezeigte Schwenkachse A schwenken kann. Andererseits tragen die beiden frontseitigen Scharnierplatten 7 hier im Ausführungsbeispiel eine dazwischen angeordnete Kunststoff-Bodenwanne 11 des Spülbehälters 1. Gemäß der Fig. 1 weist die Bodenwanne 11 vordere abgewinkelte Seitenflanken 13 auf, die in etwa dem jeweiligen, vorderen Kantenverlauf der beiden seitlich am Montageboden angebrachten Scharnierplatten 7 folgen und auf der Vorderkante 14 der Scharnierplatten 7 abgestützt sind.Like from the Fig. 1 shows, the support structure of the washing container 1 has a mounting base 3 with laterally raised, circumferential side walls. In the mounting base 3 device components, such as a drain pump and / or a circulating pump, are arranged in a conventional manner. The mounting floor can also be in the form of a floor assembly or a base support structure be educated. The mounting base 3 is made for example of plastic and has according to the Fig. 1 an assembly shaft 5, in which a hinge support, in particular a hinge plate 7 is used as an upwardly projecting support strut. The hinge plate 7 is formed from a sheet metal blank and designed as a rigid, supporting member with a correspondingly large plate thickness. On the hinge plate 7 is hinged on the one hand in a bearing opening 9, an unillustrated hinge lever for a door, making it a in the Fig. 1 shown pivot axis A can pivot. On the other hand, in the exemplary embodiment, the two front hinge plates 7 here carry an interposed plastic base pan 11 of the washing container 1 Fig. 1 the bottom pan 11 has front angled side edges 13, which follow approximately the respective front edge profile of the two laterally mounted on the mounting base hinge plates 7 and are supported on the front edge 14 of the hinge plates 7.

Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel weist der Spülbehälter 1 eine kastenförmige, nach unten offene Blechhaube auf, die sowohl die Seitenwände, die Rückwand als auch die Deckenwand des Spülbehälters 1 bildet. Die Blechhaube ist also von vorne betrachtet U-förmig ausgebildet, d.h. sie weist eine frontseitige Beschickungsöffnung 17 auf, die von seitlich im durch die Breite des Montagebodens 3 vorgegebenen Querabstand voneinander angeordneten Seitenwandstirnseiten und einer Dachwandstirnseite begrenzt bzw. berandet ist und bodenseitig offen ist. In der Fig. 1 ist lediglich eine Seitenwand 15 der U-förmigen Blechhaube in gepunkteter Linie angedeutet. Die frontseitige Beschickungsöffnung 17 des Spülbehälters 1 ist durch einen in der Fig. 1 lediglich in gestrichelter Linie angedeuteten Kunststoffrahmen 18 begrenzt. Der Kunststoffrahmen 18 folgt insbesondere der U-förmigen Kontur der frontseitigen Stirnseite des Spülbehälters 1 nach.In the present embodiment, the washing compartment 1 has a box-shaped, downwardly open sheet metal hood, which forms both the side walls, the rear wall and the top wall of the washing compartment 1. The sheet metal hood is therefore U-shaped viewed from the front, ie it has a front loading opening 17, which is bounded or bounded by laterally arranged in the width of the mounting base 3 transverse distance sidewall end faces and a roof wall front side and bottom open. In the Fig. 1 only one side wall 15 of the U-shaped sheet metal hood is indicated in dotted line. The front-side charging opening 17 of the washing compartment 1 is characterized by a in the Fig. 1 limited only in dashed line indicated plastic frame 18. The plastic frame 18 follows in particular the U-shaped contour of the front end face of the washing container 1.

Der U-förmige Kunststoffrahmen 18 ist an seinen beiden, im Breitenabstand der Beschickungsöffnung voneinander beabstandeten, unteren Schenkelenden sowohl auf der Bodenwanne 11 als auch auf der Scharnierplatte 7 abgestützt. Zudem ist der Tragrahmen 18 über eine Rastverbindung 20 fest mit der Scharnierplatte 7 verbunden. Die jeweilige Scharnierplatte 7 bildet also ein Halterungsteil für den U-förmigen Tragrahmen 18, der im vorderseitigen Bereich der U-förmigen Spülbehälterhaube an dieser fest angebracht ist. Von der Rastverbindung 20 ist in der Fig. 1 aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit lediglich eine Blechlasche 21 der Scharnierplatte 7 gezeigt, die gemäß der Fig. 2 und 3 mit einer Kunststofflasche 29 am U-förmigen Kunststoff- Tragrahmen 18 zusammenwirkt (siehe Figuren 2 - 4). Die Rastverbindung 20 zwischen dem Tragrahmen 18 und der Scharnierplatte 7 sichert den Tragrahmen 18 des Spülbehälters 1 gegen ein Lösen von der Scharnierplatte 7 in Abziehrichtung z nach oben und ist in den folgenden Fig. 2, 3 und 4 detaillierter gezeigt. Hier im Ausführungsbeispiel weist die jeweilige Scharnierplatte 7 einen vorzugsweise vertikal nach oben ragenden Tragschenkel 19 auf, der in einen Positionierschacht 22 am unteren Ende des Kunststoffrahmens 18 eingesetzt ist. Zur Rastverbindung mit dem Kunststoffrahmen 18 weist der Tragschenkel 19 an seinem oberen Bereich die in Gerätebreitenrichtung x nach außen abgebogene Blechlasche 21 auf. Sie steht der sich in Höhen- und Breitenrichtung z, x erstreckende Lageebene der jeweiligen Scharnierplatte 7 in Normalenrichtung x zu dieser hervor. Ihr vorderes Ende hat somit in Breitenrichtung x betrachtet einen Abstand zur äußeren Seitenfläche der Scharnierplatte. Die Rastlasche 21 ist aus dem Blechmaterial des Scharnierträgers 7 ausgestanzt. Die Rastlasche 21 befindet sich in einer nach außen ausgewölbten Ausprägung 23 des Tragschenkels 19. Die Rastlasche 21 ist vorzugsweise durch einen Materialfreischnitt im als plattenförmiger Scharnierträger ausgebildeten Halterungsteil 7 hergestellt. Unterhalb der Rastlasche 21 ist insbesondere ein Fensterdurchbruch 36 im Halterungsteil 7 vorgesehen ist.The U-shaped plastic frame 18 is supported at its two, spaced apart in the width distance of the feed opening, lower leg ends both on the bottom pan 11 and on the hinge plate 7. In addition, the support frame 18 is connected via a latching connection 20 fixed to the hinge plate 7. The respective hinge plate 7 thus forms a support member for the U-shaped support frame 18 which is fixedly attached in the front region of the U-shaped Spülbehälterhaube. Of the locking connection 20 is in the Fig. 1 because of Clarity only a sheet metal tab 21 of the hinge plate 7 shown in accordance with the Fig. 2 and 3 with a plastic bottle 29 on the U-shaped plastic support frame 18 cooperates (see Figures 2-4 ). The locking connection 20 between the support frame 18 and the hinge plate 7 secures the support frame 18 of the washing compartment 1 against loosening of the hinge plate 7 in the peeling direction z upwards and is in the following Fig. 2 . 3 and 4 shown in more detail. Here in the exemplary embodiment, the respective hinge plate 7 has a preferably vertically upwardly projecting support leg 19 which is inserted into a positioning shaft 22 at the lower end of the plastic frame 18. For latching connection with the plastic frame 18, the support leg 19 at its upper portion in the device width direction x bent outward sheet metal tab 21. It stands out in the height and width direction z, x extending positional plane of the respective hinge plate 7 in the normal direction x to this. Her front end thus has in the width direction x considered a distance from the outer side surface of the hinge plate. The latching tab 21 is punched out of the sheet material of the hinge carrier 7. The latching tab 21 is located in an outwardly bulging expression 23 of the support leg 19. The latching tab 21 is preferably made by a material cut in the form of a plate-shaped hinge support member 7. Below the locking tab 21 in particular a window opening 36 is provided in the support member 7.

Wie bereits oben erwähnt, ist im Zusammenbauzustand der Tragschenkel 13 der jeweiligen Scharnierplatte 7 in jeweils einen Positionierschacht 22 im zugeordneten Seitenschenkel des Tragrahmens 18 eingesetzt. Hierzu ist der jeweilige Positionierschacht 22 im Vertikalschnitt in der von der Breitenrichtung x und Höhenrichtung z aufgespannten Ebene in etwa U-förmig nach unten offen ausgeführt. Der Innenkontur-Verlauf des Positionierschachts 22 ist dabei der Kontur des Tragschenkels 19 angepasst, wie insbesondere aus der Fig. 3 ersichtlich ist. Demzufolge weist der Tragschenkel 19 in der von der Breiten- und Höhenrichtung x, z aufgespannten Lageebene jeweils randseitig abgewinkelte Randstege 25, 26 auf, die in der Gerätebreitenrichtung x zueinander gegensinnig sowie gegenüber seiner Erstreckungsebene in Tiefen- und Höhenrichtung y, z rechtwinklig abgekantet sind. In der, in der Fig. 3 gezeigten Zusammenbaulage sind diese beiden Randstege 25, 26 des Tragschenkels 13 im Wesentlichen spielfrei in korrespondierenden Rillenabschnitten 27, 28 des Positionierschachtes 22 eingesetzt, die als Tiefenanschläge den Tragschenkel 19 in Bautiefenrichtung y positionieren. Der die beiden Randstege 25, 26 verbindende Basisbereich 24 des Tragschenkels 19, der sich in der y, z- Lageebene erstreckt, ist ebenfalls spielfrei zwischen der äußeren Seitenwand 31 des Positionierschachts 22 und dessen innerer Seitenwand 31'eingesetzt, wodurch der Tragschenkel 19 auch in der Gerätebreitenrichtung x lagerichtig positioniert ist.As already mentioned above, in the assembled state, the support leg 13 of the respective hinge plate 7 is inserted into a respective positioning shaft 22 in the associated side limb of the support frame 18. For this purpose, the respective positioning shaft 22 is executed in a vertical section in the plane defined by the width direction x and height direction z plane in an approximately U-shaped downwardly open. The inner contour course of the positioning shaft 22 is adapted to the contour of the support leg 19, in particular from the Fig. 3 is apparent. Accordingly, the support leg 19 in the plane spanned by the width and height direction x, z layer edge margins 25, 26 which are bent in the device width direction x in opposite directions and with respect to its extension plane in the depth and height direction y, z are bent at right angles. In the, in the Fig. 3 shown assembly position, these two edge webs 25, 26 of the support leg 13 are substantially free of play in corresponding groove portions 27, 28 of the Positionierschachtes 22 used as depth stops the support legs 19th Position in depth direction y. The base portion 24 of the support leg 19 which connects the two edge webs 25, 26 and extends in the y, z position plane is likewise inserted without clearance between the outer side wall 31 of the positioning shaft 22 and its inner side wall 31 ', as a result of which the support leg 19 is also in the device width direction x is positioned correctly.

Zudem stützt sich die in der Fig. 1 gezeigte Oberkante 33 des jeweiligen Tragschenkels 19 auf dem Boden 34 des ihm jeweilig zugeordneten U-förmigen Positionierschachtes 22 ab. Auf diese Weise ist die zwischen den Rastlaschen 21, 29 hergestellte Rastverbindung weitgehend frei von Gewichtskräften, die erfindungsgemäß hauptsächlich von der Oberkante 33 des Tragschenkels 19 sowie ggf. zusätzlich von der Bodenwanne 11 aufgenommen werden können.In addition, the relies in the Fig. 1 shown top edge 33 of the respective support leg 19 on the bottom 34 of the respective associated U-shaped positioning shaft 22 from. In this way, the latching connection produced between the latching tabs 21, 29 is largely free of weight forces, which according to the invention can be absorbed mainly by the upper edge 33 of the support leg 19 and optionally in addition from the bottom pan 11.

Um ein Lösen des Tragrahmens 18 von den Scharnierplatten 7 in der Gerätehochrichtung z zu verhindern, wird die nach außen abgebogene Blechlasche 29 der Scharnierplatte 7 von der korrespondierenden Kunststoff-Lasche 29 des Tragrahmens 18 untergriffen, wie es in den Fig. 2, 3 und 4 ersichtlich ist. Die Kunststoff-Lasche 29 ist hierfür in der Gerätebreitenrichtung x nach innen abgebogen und in Stoßverbindung mit der nach außen abgebogenen Blechlasche 21.In order to prevent detachment of the support frame 18 of the hinge plates 7 in the device vertical direction z, the bent-out sheet metal tab 29 of the hinge plate 7 is engaged by the corresponding plastic tab 29 of the support frame 18, as shown in the Fig. 2 . 3 and 4 is apparent. The plastic tab 29 is bent for this purpose in the device width direction x inward and in abutting connection with the bent-out sheet metal tab 21st

Wie aus den Fig. 2 und 3 weiter hervorgeht, ist in der, in der Gerätebreitenrichtung x äußeren Seitenwand 31 des Positionierschachts 22 ein Zugangsfenster 37 von außen zugänglich eingeformt, um einen Werkzeugzugriff zum Lösen der Rastverbindung 20 zu ermöglichen. Am unteren Rand des Fensters 37 ist dabei gemäß der Fig. 3 die nach innen abgehobene Kunststoff-Lasche 29 angeformt. Zum Lösen der Rastverbindung ist die Kunststoff-Lasche 29 mittels eines Werkzeugs in der Gerätebreitenrichtung x nach außen zu biegen.Like from the Fig. 2 and 3 Furthermore, in the device width direction x outer side wall 31 of the positioning shaft 22, an access window 37 is formed accessible from the outside in order to allow tool access for releasing the latching connection 20. At the bottom of the window 37 is in accordance with the Fig. 3 formed inwardly lifted plastic tab 29. To release the locking connection, the plastic tab 29 is to be bent outwards by means of a tool in the device width direction x.

Zur Vorbereitung eines Fügevorgangs werden zunächst der noch voneinander getrennte Tragrahmen 18 und die Scharnierplatten 7 zueinander ausgerichtet. Anschließend wird der Tragrahmen 18 auf den Tragschenkel 19 der jeweiligen Scharnierplatte 7 gesetzt. Dabei wird der jeweilige Tragschenkel 19 in den nach unten offenen Positionierschacht 22 des ihm jeweilig zugeordneten Seitenschenkels des Tragrahmens 18 eingeschoben. Zur einfacheren lagerichtigen Positionierung kann der jeweilige Positionierschacht 22 eine Einführhilfe in Form einer Anlaufschräge 35 aufweisen, die in den Rillenabschnitt 27 des Positionierschachts 22 übergeht und sich in diesem fortsetzt.To prepare a joining operation of the still separate support frame 18 and the hinge plates 7 are aligned with each other. Subsequently, the support frame 18 is placed on the support legs 19 of the respective hinge plate 7. In this case, the respective support leg 19 is inserted into the downwardly open Positionierschacht 22 of the respective associated side leg of the support frame 18. For easier positionally correct positioning of the respective positioning shaft 22 a An insertion aid in the form of a run-on slope 35, which merges into the groove portion 27 of the positioning shaft 22 and continues in this.

Bei noch nicht genau zueinander ausgerichteten Bauteilen kann daher beim Zusammenfügen der Randsteg 25 des jeweiligen Tragschenkels 19 zunächst gegen die Anlaufschräge 35 im Rillenabschnitt des ihm jeweilig zugeordneten Positionierschachts 22 schlagen. Im weiteren Fügeverlauf kann dann der Randsteg 25 positionssicher in den Rillenabschnitt 27 geführt werden. Gleichzeitig wird während des Fügeverlaufes die nach innen gebogene Kunststofflasche 29 zur Überwindung der starren, nach außen gebogenen Blechlasche 21 elastisch nach außen verstellt. Am Ende des Fügevorgangs springt die Kunststoff-Lasche 29 wieder in Breitenrichtung x nach innen in ihre Ruhelage, in der die starre Blechlasche 21 untergriffen ist.
Figur 4 zeigt schließlich einen Vertikalschnitt durch die Rastverbindung von Figur 3 entlang einer zur Lageebene y, z der Scharnierplatte 7 von Figur 3 senkrechten Schnittebene II - II'. Als erstes Rastelement der jeweiligen Rastverbindung 20 ist eine, insbesondere weitgehend starre, Rastlasche 21 am Schenkel 19 der jeweiligen Scharnierplatte 7 vorgesehen. Dabei ist die Rastlasche 21 durch einen Materialfreischnitt aus dem Blechmaterial der Scharnierplatte 7 hergestellt. Unterhalb der Rastlasche 21 ist insbesondere ein Fensterdurchbruch 36 in der Scharnierplatte 7 vorgesehen (siehe Figur 1). Dieses erste Rastelement 21 ist in der Gerätehochrichtung z von dem zweiten Rastelement 29 an dem Tragrahmenteil 18 untergriffen, wenn die beiden Seitenschenkel des Tragrahmenteils 18 auf die Tragschenkel 19 der beiden Scharnierplatten 7 aufgesteckt und in ihre Endmontageposition gebracht worden sind. Dabei ist das zweite Rastelement 29 insbesondere eine elastisch nachgiebige Rastlasche des Tragrahmenteils 18. In der Endmontageposition von Tragrahmenteil 18 und Halterungsteil 7 steht das Rastelement 21 des Halterungsteils 7 in einen Fensterdurchbruch 37 in der außenseitigen Wandung 31 des profilierten Tragrahmenteils 7 ab. Das zweite Rastelement 29 ist in der Verrastposition von Tragrahmenteil 18 und Halterungsteil 7 dem ersten Rastelement 21 entgegengerichtet und untergreift dieses. Es steht schräg nach oben gerichtet ab, während das erste Rastelement schräg nach unten auf das freie Ende des zweiten Rastelements 29 zu gerichtet ist. Dadurch ist eine Verhakung der beiden Rastelemente gegeneinander sichergestellt, wenn am Tragrahmenteil 18 Kräfte in Höhenrichtung z nach oben wirksam werden. Das vordere Ende des untergreifenden zweiten Rastelements 29 am Tragrahmenteil 18 stützt sich dann am nach unten zeigenden Ende des feststehenden ersten Rastelements 21 des Tragschenkels 19 ab.
In the case of not yet exactly aligned components, the edge web 25 of the respective support leg 19 can therefore initially strike against the run-on slope 35 in the groove section of the respectively assigned positioning shaft 22 during assembly. In the further course of joining, the edge web 25 can then be guided in a positionally reliable manner into the groove section 27. At the same time, the inwardly bent plastic bottle 29 is displaced elastically outwards during the course of the joining in order to overcome the rigid, outwardly bent sheet metal tab 21. At the end of the joining process, the plastic tab 29 jumps back in the width direction x inwards to its rest position, in which the rigid sheet metal tab 21 is under attack.
FIG. 4 finally shows a vertical section through the latching connection of FIG. 3 along a to the plane of y, z of the hinge plate 7 of FIG. 3 vertical section plane II - II '. As the first latching element of the respective latching connection 20 is a, in particular substantially rigid, latching tab 21 is provided on the leg 19 of the respective hinge plate 7. In this case, the locking tab 21 is made by a material cut from the sheet material of the hinge plate 7. Below the locking tab 21 in particular a window opening 36 in the hinge plate 7 is provided (see FIG. 1 ). This first locking element 21 is engaged in the device vertical direction z of the second locking element 29 on the support frame part 18 when the two side legs of the support frame part 18 have been placed on the support legs 19 of the two hinge plates 7 and placed in their final assembly position. In the final assembly position of support frame part 18 and support member 7, the locking element 21 of the support member 7 is in a window opening 37 in the outside wall 31 of the profiled support frame part 7 from. The second latching element 29 is in the latching position of support frame part 18 and support member 7 opposite to the first latching element 21 and engages under this. It is directed obliquely upwards, while the first locking element is directed obliquely down to the free end of the second locking element 29 to. As a result, a hooking of the two locking elements against each other is ensured when 18 forces in the height direction upwards z are effective on the support frame part. The front end of the cross-engaging second locking element 29th on the support frame part 18 is then supported on the downward facing end of the fixed first latching element 21 of the support leg 19.

Zusammenfassend betrachtet ist somit das Tragrahmenteil 18 des Spülbehälters 1 über mindestens eine Rastverbindung 20 mit dem bodenseitigen Halterungsteil 7 in zuverlässiger Weise verbunden. Es kann insbesondere sichergestellt werden, dass das Tragrahmenteil 18 des Spülbehälters 1 und das bodenseitige Halterungsteil 7 lediglich mittels ein oder mehrerer Rastverbindungen 20 in ihre Zusammenfügerichtung, vorzugsweise werkzeugfrei, aneinanderkoppelbar und in ihrer Endmontageposition in Auseinanderziehrichtung gegen Lösen fixiert sind.In summary, therefore, the support frame part 18 of the washing container 1 is connected via at least one locking connection 20 with the bottom-side support member 7 in a reliable manner. In particular, it can be ensured that the support frame part 18 of the rinsing container 1 and the base-side support part 7 are fixed in their assembly direction, preferably tool-free, and can be coupled together in their final assembly position in the direction of separation against loosening only by means of one or more snap-in connections 20.
