Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Haushaltsgerät mit einer Schwingungsdämpfungseinrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a household appliance with a vibration damping device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Waschmaschinen und Trockner mit einer drehbar in einem Laugenbehälter gelagerten Wäschetrommel weisen für gewöhnlich eine Schwingungsdämpfungseinrichtung auf, welche den Laugenbehälter mit dem Gehäuse verbindet. Mittels der Schwingungsdämpfungseinrichtung werden durch die Rotationsbewegung der Trommel verursachte Schwingungen und Geräusche gedämpft. Üblicherweise werden die Schwingungen des Laugenbehälters mittels einer Zylinder-Kolbenvorrichtung der Schwingungsdämpfungseinrichtung aufgenommen.Washing machines and dryers with a laundry drum rotatably mounted in a tub usually have a vibration damping device which connects the tub with the housing. By means of the vibration damping device, vibrations and noises caused by the rotational movement of the drum are damped. Usually, the vibrations of the tub are received by means of a cylinder-piston device of the vibration damping device.

Die DE 14 60 968 A1 beschreibt einen Reibungsdämpfer für Wäschewaschmaschinen, bei welchem Backen an einer Metallplatte reiben, die an einer zu dämpfenden, beweglichen Anordnung befestigt ist. Die Backen tragende Arme sind an einem Zwischenhalter angebracht, welcher um eine zu der Ebene der Metallplatte parallele Achse schwenkbar ist, wobei die Verschwenkung des Zwischenhalters durch Zwischenschaltung eines Reibungsbelags gebremst werden kann.The DE 14 60 968 A1 describes a friction damper for laundry washing machines, wherein jaws rub on a metal plate which is fixed to a damped, movable assembly. The jaws supporting arms are mounted on an intermediate holder which is pivotable about an axis parallel to the plane of the metal plate, wherein the pivoting of the intermediate holder can be braked by interposition of a friction lining.

Die JP 1111 4280 A beschreibt eine Waschmaschine mit einem Dämpfer, welcher in einer Richtung lotrecht zur Rotationsachse verschiebbar am Gehäuse der Waschmaschine gelagert ist.The JP 1111 4280 A describes a washing machine with a damper, which is mounted in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation slidably mounted on the housing of the washing machine.

Aus der WO 2007/013021 A1 ist ein weiteres Haushaltsgerät mit einer Zylinder-Kolbenvorrichtung als Schwingungsdämpfungseinrichtung bekannt, welche einen Laugenbehälter mit dem Gehäuseboden des Haushaltsgerätes verbindet. Die Zylinder-Kolbenvorrichtung ist verschiebbar am Gehäuseboden gelagert, wodurch eine begrenzte Gleitbewegung der Zylinder-Kolbenvorrichtung entlang des Gehäusebodens ermöglicht ist. Auf diese Weise kann zumindest ein Teil der betriebsbedingten Schwingungen des Laugenbehälters in eine lineare Gleitbewegung der Zylinder-Kolbenvorrichtung umgewandelt werden. Nachteilig ist eine derartige Schwingungsdämpfungseinrichtung relativ bauteilaufwändig.From the WO 2007/013021 A1 is another household appliance with a cylinder-piston device known as vibration damping device which connects a tub to the housing bottom of the household appliance. The cylinder-piston device is slidably mounted on the housing bottom, whereby a limited sliding movement of the cylinder-piston device along the housing bottom is made possible. In this way, at least a part of the operational vibrations of the tub in a linear sliding movement of the cylinder-piston device being transformed. A disadvantage of such a vibration damping device is relatively complex.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, ein Haushaltsgerät mit einer montage- und bauteiltechnisch einfachen Lösung für eine Schwingungsdämpfungseinrichtung bereitzustellen.The object of the invention is to provide a household appliance with a simple assembly and component technically simple solution for a vibration damping device.

Die Aufgabe ist durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst. Bevorzugte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen offenbart.The object is solved by the features of claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the subclaims.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist bei dem Haushaltsgerät, insbesondere Waschmaschine oder Trockner, mit einem Gehäuse, in dem eine Wäschetrommel drehbar in einem Laugenbehälter gelagert ist, der über zumindest ein Stützelement einer Schwingungsdämpfungseinrichtung mit dem Gehäuse verbunden ist, das Stützelement unter Zwischenschaltung eines Schwenkhebels am Gehäuse angelenkt, wobei der Schwenkhebel und/oder das Stützelement unter Überwindung einer zum Dämpfen betriebsbedingter Schwingungen des Laugenbehälters vorgegebenen Reibungskraft schwenkbar ist. Auf diese Weise sind betriebsbedingte Schwingungen des Laugenbehälters in Erstreckungsrichtung des Stützelements auf den Schwenkhebel übertragbar. Die in das Stützelement eingeleiteten Schwingungen bzw. Vibrationen werden mittels des Schwenkhebels zumindest teilweise in Rotationsbewegungen umgewandelt, so dass durch ein Verschwenken des Schwenkhebels die Schwingungen zumindest teilweise dämpfbar sind. Vorteilhaft ist eine derartige Schwingungsdämpfungseinrichtung bauteiltechnisch einfach umzusetzen.According to the invention, in the household appliance, in particular washing machine or dryer, with a housing in which a laundry drum is rotatably mounted in a tub, which is connected via at least one support element of a vibration damping device to the housing, articulated the support element with the interposition of a pivot lever on the housing wherein the pivoting lever and / or the support element is pivotable by overcoming a predetermined for damping vibrations of the tub due to the frictional force. In this way, operational vibrations of the tub in the direction of extension of the support element can be transferred to the pivot lever. The oscillations or vibrations introduced into the support element are at least partially converted into rotational movements by means of the pivoting lever, so that the oscillations can be at least partially damped by a pivoting of the pivoting lever. Advantageously, such a vibration damping device is easy to implement component technology.

Der Schwenkhebel ist über ein erstes Drehgelenk um eine erste gehäuseseitenwandfeste Schwenkachse am Gehäuse angelenkt. Dadurch kann der Montageprozess vereinfacht werden, da bestimmte Bauteile des ersten Drehgelenks am Gehäuse vormontiert werden können. Die Verbindung des Laugenbehälters mit dem Gehäuse über die Schwingungsdämpfungseinrichtung kann somit montagetechnisch einfach ausgestaltet sein.The pivot lever is articulated to the housing via a first rotary joint about a first housing side wall fixed pivot axis. Thereby, the assembly process can be simplified because certain components of the first pivot can be pre-assembled on the housing. The connection of the tub with the housing on the vibration damping device can thus be easily configured montagetechnisch.

Der Schwenkhebel ist über ein zweites Drehgelenk um eine gegenüber dem Gehäuse bewegliche Schwenkachse am Stützelement angelenkt. Das Stützelement ist mit einem behälterfesten dritten Drehgelenk am Laugenbehälter angelenkt. Diese Anordnung stellt eine bauteiltechnisch besonders einfache Lösung zum Verschwenken des Stützelements und somit zur Dämpfung betriebsbedingter Schwingungen des Laugenbehälters dar.The pivot lever is articulated about a second pivot about a pivotable relative to the housing pivot axis on the support element. The support element is with a Fixed container third pivot on the tub. This arrangement represents a technically particularly simple solution for pivoting the support element and thus for damping operational oscillations of the tub.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Haushaltsgerät ist der Schwenkhebel und/oder das Stützelement unter Überwindung einer vorgegebenen Reibungskraft schwenkbar. Dazu kann zumindest eines der Drehgelenke einen erhöhten Reibungswiderstand aufweisen. Auf diese Weise kann wenigstens ein Teil der schwingungsbedingten Translationsenergie in Reibungsenergie umgewandelt werden. Durch die Umwandlung von Translationsenergie in Reibungsenergie kann auf eine Zylinder-Kolbenvorrichtung als Dämpfer gänzlich verzichtet werden.In the household appliance according to the invention, the pivot lever and / or the support element is pivotable by overcoming a predetermined friction force. For this purpose, at least one of the swivel joints can have an increased frictional resistance. In this way, at least a part of the vibration-caused translational energy can be converted into frictional energy. By converting translational energy into frictional energy, a cylinder-piston device as a damper can be completely dispensed with.

Das erste, zweite und/oder dritte Drehgelenk weist eine Lagerbuchse auf, in der zumindest ein Lagerzapfen mit Presspassung drehbar gelagert ist. Auf diese Weise kann eine betriebssichere und zugleich wartungsfreie Ausgestaltung eines bzw. mehrerer Drehgelenke realisiert sein. Besonders bevorzugt kann der Lagerzapfen des ersten Drehgelenks an dem Schwenkhebel drehfest befestigt sein. Der Lagerzapfen kann rohrförmig sein, und ist aus wärmeleitendem, insbesondere metallischem, Material ausgeführt, so dass die Temperatur schnell abgeführt wird, um die Lebensdauer der Reibungsschichten zu verlängern.The first, second and / or third rotary joint has a bearing bush in which at least one bearing journal is rotatably mounted with an interference fit. In this way, a reliable and maintenance-free configuration of one or more swivel joints can be realized. Particularly preferably, the bearing journal of the first rotary joint can be secured against rotation on the pivot lever. The journal may be tubular, and is made of thermally conductive, especially metallic, material, so that the temperature is dissipated quickly to extend the life of the friction layers.

Die erste Schwenkachse steht auf einer hohen von einem Hausgeräteboden entfernten Höhe. Auf diese Weise wird ein Hohlraum unter dem Laugenbehälter freigegeben, in dem man über ausreichenden Raum für andere Gerätebauteile verfügen kann, wie für eine Schublade, in die der Nutzer die von ihm gewünschten Artikel einlegen kann, oder um die gesamte Höhe des Gerätes zu reduzieren.The first pivot axis is at a high height away from a home appliance floor. In this way, a cavity is released under the tub, in which one can have sufficient space for other equipment components, such as a drawer, in which the user can load the articles he wants, or to reduce the overall height of the device.

Die erste Schwenkachse schließt sich mittels eines Trägers an das Gehäuse an, um der Gehäusestruktur Starrheit zu gewähren. Der Träger kann ein Querbalken sein, der an den Ecken der Seitenwand befestigt wird, um sie dadurch nicht zu kontaktieren und auf sie die Schwingungen nicht zu übertragen. Auf diese Weise werden Schwingungen besser aufgenommen. Der Träger kann sogar ein Lagerzapfen sein, der sich in die Richtung der ersten Schwenkachse bis zu den Geräteenden erstreckt, und wo der Schwenkhebel angeschlossen wird. Hierdurch wird außerdem ein flexiblerer Träger erzielt.The first pivot axis connects by means of a carrier to the housing in order to give the housing structure rigidity. The carrier may be a crossbar which is attached to the corners of the side wall so as not to contact them and not transmit the vibrations to them. In this way, vibrations are better absorbed. The carrier may even be a journal which extends in the direction of the first pivot axis to the device ends and where the pivot lever is connected. This also achieves a more flexible carrier.

Insbesondere können das Stützelement und/oder der Schwenkhebel starre Bauteile sein. Die Komplexität der Schwingungsdämpfungseinrichtung kann dadurch weiter reduziert sein. Ferner können herstellungstechnisch einfache Bauteile verwendet werden. Sie können auch aus einem starren Material ausgeführt sein, das aber eine ausreichende Elastizität aufweist, um die durch die Drehung bedingte Reibung auszuhalten.In particular, the support element and / or the pivot lever can be rigid components. The complexity of the vibration damping device can thereby be further reduced. Furthermore, manufacturing technology simple components can be used. They can also be made of a rigid material, but which has sufficient elasticity to withstand the friction caused by the rotation.

Die Länge des Stützelements kann gleich oder größer sein als eine Länge des Schwenkhebels. Auch der Laugenbehälter kann über Vorsprünge verfügen, welche eine von der Rotationsachse der Trommel entferntere Verbindung mit dem Stützelement gestatten, um dieses kürzer zu gestalten. Somit kann ein durch den Schwenkhebel auf das erste Drehgelenk wirkendes Drehmoment reduziert sein.The length of the support member may be equal to or greater than a length of the pivot lever. Also, the tub may have projections having a distance from the axis of rotation of the drum connection with the support member allow it to be shorter. Thus, a torque acting on the first rotary joint by the pivoting lever can be reduced.

Bevorzugt kann das Stützelement bzw. eine Kraftwirkungslinie des Stützelements um eine wirksame Hebelarmlänge vom ersten Drehgelenk beabstandet sein. Die wirksame Hebelarmlänge verläuft dabei senkrecht zur Kraftwirkungslinie und kann aufgrund der betriebsbedingten Schwingungen im Laugenbehälter variieren.Preferably, the support element or a force action line of the support element can be spaced by an effective lever arm length from the first pivot joint. The effective lever arm length is perpendicular to the force of action line and may vary due to the operational vibrations in the tub.

Besonders bevorzugt können mit Bezug auf eine vertikale Mittelebene mindestens zwei auf beiden Seiten des Behälters angeordnete Stützelemente den Laugenbehälter abstützen. Durch diese Anordnung der Stützelemente kann eine betriebssichere Dämpfung der Schwingungen des Laugenbehälters umgesetzt sein.Particularly preferably, with respect to a vertical center plane, at least two support elements arranged on both sides of the container can support the tub. By this arrangement, the support elements can be implemented a reliable damping of the vibrations of the tub.

Die Stützelemente 31 sind dabei mit Bezug auf eine vertikale Mittelebene des Laugenbehälters 13 symmetrisch zueinander angeordnet. Mehr als ein Stützelement können an einer der Seiten angeordnet werden.The tub 13 is suspended by two springs 17 on a ceiling wall 19 of the housing 3. In the lower region of the tub 13 is connected via two rod-shaped support members 31 with the interposition of pivot levers 33 with the housing side walls 35.

Mit der Schwingungsdämpfungseinrichtung werden durch den Betrieb der Wäschetrommel 11 bedingte Schwingungen des Laugenbehälters 13 aufgenommen und gedämpft.The springs 17, the support members 31 and the pivot lever 33 form a vibration damping device of the washing machine 1. With the vibration damping device 11 caused by the operation of the laundry drum vibrations of the tub 13 are received and damped.

An der dem ersten Drehgelenk 37 gegenüberliegenden Seite ist der Schwenkhebel 33 über ein zweites Drehgelenk 47 um eine zweite gegenüber dem Gehäuse 3 bewegliche Schwenkachse 49 am Stützelement 31 angelenkt. Das Stützelement 31 ist wiederum an seiner dem Drehgelenk 47 gegenüberliegenden Seite über ein behälterfestes drittes Drehgelenk 51 am Laugenbehälter 13 angelenkt. Die Länge a des Stützelements 31 kann kleiner, gleich oder größer als die Länge b des Schwenkhebels 33 sein.According to the Fig. 2 the pivot lever 33 is articulated via a first pivot 37 about a first housing-fixed pivot axis 39 on the housing side walls 35. At the opposite side of the first rotary joint 37, the pivot lever 33 is articulated to the support element 31 via a second pivot 47 about a second pivot axis 49 movable relative to the housing 3. The support member 31 is in turn its opposite the pivot 47 side hinged on a container-fixed third pivot 51 on the tub 13. The length a of the support member 31 may be smaller, equal to or greater than the length b of the pivot lever 33.

Die Fig. 3 zeigt eines der Stützelemente 31 aus der Fig. 2 zusammen mit dem Schwenkhebel 33 in einer Schnittdarstellung. Das erste Drehgelenk 37 weist am Schwenkhebel 33 einen an einem der Gehäuseseitenwand 35 zugeordneten Träger 45 festen Lagerzapfen 43 auf, welcher fest an eine als Blechzuschnitt des Trägers 45 ausgebildete Lagerbuchse 41 angeschlossen ist. Gemäß der Fig. 3 ist die Anlenkung des Schwenkhebels 33 an der Gehäuseseitenwand 35 kurbelwellenartig ausgebildet.The Fig. 3 shows one of the support members 31 from the Fig. 2 together with the pivot lever 33 in a sectional view. The first rotary joint 37 has on the pivot lever 33 on one of the housing side wall 35 associated carrier 45 fixed bearing pin 43 which is fixedly connected to a formed as a sheet metal blank of the carrier 45 bearing bush 41. According to the Fig. 3 the articulation of the pivot lever 33 on the housing side wall 35 is formed crankshaft-like.

Ferner geht aus der Fig. 3 hervor, dass der Lagerzapfen 43 mit einer Presspassung in dem Schwenkhebel gelagert ist. Durch die Presspassung wirkt ein erhöhter Reibungswiderstand zwischen den Lagerzapfen 43 und der Lagerbuchse 41. Der Reibungswiderstand kann durch eine Reibungsschicht 50 zwischen dem Hebel 33 und dem Lagerzapfen 43 weiter erhöht werden.Furthermore, goes from the Fig. 3 shown that the bearing pin 43 is mounted with a press fit in the pivot lever. By the interference fit, an increased frictional resistance between the bearing pin 43 and the bearing bush 41 acts. The frictional resistance can be further increased by a friction layer 50 between the lever 33 and the bearing pin 43.

Nachfolgend sind die physikalischen Gegebenheiten der Schwingungsdämpfungseinrichtung anhand der Prinzipdarstellung in der Fig. 4 beschrieben. Gemäß der Fig. 4 werden die betriebsbedingten Schwingungen bzw. Vibrationen des Laugenbehälters 13 in das Stützelement 31 eingeleitet und durch dieses entlang einer Kraftwirkungslinie f auf den Schwenkhebel 33 übertragen. Mittels des Schwenkhebels 33 werden die Schwingungen in Rotationsbewegungen umgewandelt. Die Kraftwirkungslinie f des Stützelements 31 ist dabei um eine wirksame Hebelarmlänge I vom ersten Drehgelenk 37 beabstandet. Die wirksame Hebelarmlänge I ist senkrecht zur Kraftwirkungslinie f ausgerichtet. Wie oben bereits erwähnt, ist die Länge a des Stützelements 31 um ein Vielfaches größer als die Länge b des Schwenkhebels 33, wodurch ein auf das Drehgelenk 37 wirkendes Drehmoment reduziert ist.The physical conditions of the vibration damping device based on the schematic representation in the Fig. 4 described. According to the Fig. 4 the operational vibrations or vibrations of the tub 13 are introduced into the support member 31 and transmitted through this along a force line of action f on the pivot lever 33. By means of the pivot lever 33, the vibrations are converted into rotational movements. The force of action line f of the support member 31 is spaced from the first pivot 37 by an effective lever arm length I. The effective Hebelarmlänge I is aligned perpendicular to the line of action f. As already mentioned above, the length a of the support element 31 is greater by a multiple than the length b of the pivot lever 33, whereby a torque acting on the pivot 37 is reduced.

Aufgrund der betriebsbedingten Schwingungen des Laugenbehälters 13 variiert die wirksame Hebelarmlänge I zwischen dem Stützelement 31 und dem Drehgelenk 37. Durch den erhöhten Reibungswiderstand im Drehgelenk 37 wird eine Translationsenergie des Laugenbehälters 13 zumindest teilweise in Reibungsenergie umgewandelt. Auf diese Weise werden die beim Betrieb der Wäschetrommel 11 auftretenden Schwingungen und Geräusche weiter reduziert.Due to the operational vibrations of the tub 13, the effective lever arm length I varies between the support member 31 and the pivot 37. Due to the increased frictional resistance in the pivot 37, a translational energy of the tub 13 is at least partially converted into frictional energy. To this Way, the vibrations and noise occurring during operation of the laundry drum 11 are further reduced.

In der Fig. 5 ist das rechte Stützelement 31 aus der Figur 4 zusammen mit dem Schwenkhebel 33 in einer perspektivischen Ansicht gezeigt. Wie aus der Fig. 5 hervorgeht, ist die Lagerbuchse 41 des Drehgelenks 37 über einen Träger 45 and der Gehäuseseitenwand 35 befestigt. Der Schwenkhebel 33 ist an einen durchgehenden, rohrförmigen, festen, dem Hebel 33 gegenüber drehfesten Lagerzapfen 43 befestigt, welcher in der Lagerbuchse 41 drehbar gelagert ist, wo die vorgenannten Reibungsschichten angeordnet sind und die Temperatur abgeführt wird.In the Fig. 5 is the right support member 31 from the FIG. 4 shown together with the pivot lever 33 in a perspective view. Like from the Fig. 5 shows, the bearing bush 41 of the rotary joint 37 via a support 45 and the housing side wall 35 is attached. The pivot lever 33 is fixed to a continuous, tubular, fixed, the lever 33 against rotation bearing pin 43 which is rotatably mounted in the bearing bush 41, where the aforementioned friction layers are arranged and the temperature is dissipated.

Die Fig. 6 zeigt das rechte Stützelement 31 aus der Fig. 5 zusammen mit dem Schwenkhebel 33 in einer perspektivischen Ansicht. Wie aus der Fig. 3 hervorgeht, ist die Lagerbuchse 41 des Drehgelenks 37 über einen longitudinalen querbalkenförmigen Träger 45, der an beiden Seiten befestigt wird, an der Gehäuseseitenwand 35 befestigt. Aus dem Querbalken 45 werden Flügel zugeschnitten und gefaltet, welche die Lagerbuchse 41 bilden, in der der Schwenkhebel 33 durch einen in diesem Fall der Lagerbuchse 41 gegenüber drehfesten durchgehenden Lagerzapfen 43 angeschlossen wird, und die vorgenannten Reibungsschichten sind im Hebel angeordnet.The Fig. 6 shows the right support member 31 from the Fig. 5 together with the pivot lever 33 in a perspective view. Like from the Fig. 3 As can be seen, the bearing bush 41 of the rotary joint 37 is fixed to the housing side wall 35 via a longitudinal crossbar-shaped support 45, which is fastened on both sides. From the crossbar 45 wings are folded and folded, which form the bearing bush 41, in which the pivot lever 33 is connected by a in this case the bearing bush 41 against rotationally fixed through bearing pin 43, and the aforementioned friction layers are arranged in the lever.
