Description

Gebiet der ErfindungField of the invention

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Hausgerät, insbesondere auf ein solches, bei dem ein Schaltungs-Verbindungselement einteilig mit einer elektrisch leitenden Stütze ausgebildet ist.The present invention relates to a domestic appliance, in particular to such, in which a circuit connecting element is formed integrally with an electrically conductive support.

Technischer HintergrundTechnical background

In derzeit bekannten Hausgeräten, insbesondere in elektrischen Bügeleisen, sind eine metallische Halterung und Leitungen zum Verbinden mit den einzelnen elektrischen Elementen integriert. Hierzu brauchen die Leitungen, welche mit einem isolierenden hochwarmfesten Werkstoff ummantelt sein müssen, manuel Stück für Stück an das jeweilige elektrische Element geschweißt zu werden, da beim Betrieb des elektrischen Bügeleisens in dessen Innern, insbesondere in der Nähe der elektrischen Heizplatte des elektrischen Bügeleisens, eine hohe Temperatur besteht. So muss beim Aufstecken oder Anschweißen der Leitungen dafür gesorgt werden, dass diese nicht in Kontakt mit den hochwarmen Körpern, wie z.B. der elektrischen Heizplatte, innerhalb des elektrischen Bügeleisens kommen, um ein Durchbrennen der Leitungen und einen damit verbundenen Schaltungsfehler zu vermeiden. Darüber hinaus müssen eine Vielzahl von Leitungen manuel in das elektrische Bügeleisen verlegt werden, was eine automatisierte Produktion erschwert.In currently known domestic appliances, in particular in electric irons, a metallic holder and lines for connection to the individual electrical elements are integrated. For this purpose, the lines, which must be sheathed with an insulating refractory material, manuel piece by piece to be welded to the respective electrical element, as in the operation of the electric iron in the interior, especially in the vicinity of the electric hot plate of the electric iron, a high temperature exists. Thus, when attaching or welding the leads, care must be taken that they are not in contact with the high-heat bodies, e.g. the electric hot plate, come within the electric iron to avoid a burn through of the wires and an associated circuit failure. In addition, a variety of lines must be manuel laid in the electric iron, which complicates automated production.

Beschreibung konkreter AusführungsformenDescription of specific embodiments

In ABB 1 ist eine konkrete Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Hausgeräts am Beispiel eines Bügeleisens dargestellt. In dieser Ausführungsform handelt es sich bei dem Bügeleisen 100 um ein mit einer Dampferzeugungsvorrichtung versehenes Dampfbügeleisen, das ein Gehäuse 1 und einen Grundträger 2 umfasst. Selbstverständlich lässt sich die Erfindung auch bei elektrischen Bügeleisen ohne Dampferzeugungsvorrichtung oder Bügeleisen mit einer extern angeordneten Dampferzeugungsvorrichtung einsetzen. Wie ferner aus ABB 2 hervorgeht, ist das Gehäuse 1 üblicherweise aus Kunststoff gefertigt und umfasst ein Griffteil 11 und einen sich innerhalb des Gehäuses 1 befindenden Wasserbehälter 12. Das Griffteil 11 weist eine bogenförmige Innenwand 111 auf, die dem Benutzer einen Griff des Bügeleisens zu dessen Betätigung ermöglicht. Hingegen weist der Grundträger 2 eine an der Unterseite des Gehäuses 1 angeordnete, metallische Bodenplatte 21 zum Bügeln von Kleidungsstücken und ein elektrisches Heizelement 22 zum Heizen der Bodenplatte 21 auf. Das elektrische Heizelement kann einen Widerstandsdraht hoher Impedanz umfassen, dessen Plus- und Minusanschluss jeweils über ein Kabel mit einer 220V- oder 110V-Wechselstromversorgung verbunden ist. In der Bodenplatte 21 sind mehrere Durchgangsöffnungen 211 ausgebildet. Im Grundträger 2 ist zudem eine mit dem Wasserbehälter 12 verbundene Dampferzeugungskammer (nicht dargestellt) vorgesehen, wobei das Wasser aus dem Wasserbehälter 12 in die Dampferzeugungskammer tropfen kann, durch das elektrische Heizelement 22 zu Dampf erhitzt und über die Durchgangsöffnungen 211 herausgespritzt wird, um die zu bügelnden Kleidungsstücke zu benetzen.FIG. 1 shows a concrete embodiment of a household appliance according to the invention using the example of an iron. In this embodiment, the iron 100 is a steam iron provided with a steam generating device, which comprises a casing 1 and a base support 2. Of course, the invention can also be used in electric irons without steam generating device or iron with an externally arranged steam generating device. As further shown in FIG. 2, the housing 1 is usually made of plastic and comprises a grip part 11 and a water tank 12 located inside the housing 1. The grip part 11 has an arcuate inside wall 111 which gives the user a handle of the iron to the latter Operation possible. On the other hand, the base support 2 has a metallic bottom plate 21 for ironing garments arranged on the underside of the housing 1 and an electric heating element 22 for heating the bottom plate 21. The electrical heating element may include a high impedance resistance wire whose plus and minus terminals are each connected via a cable to a 220V or 110V AC power supply. In the bottom plate 21, a plurality of through holes 211 are formed. In the base support 2 also connected to the water tank 12 steam generating chamber (not shown) is provided, the water can drip from the water tank 12 into the steam generating chamber, heated by the electric heating element 22 to steam and is injected through the through holes 211 to the to wet ironing garments.

Wie sich aus ABB 3 ergibt, ist am Grundträger 2 eine Stütze 3 befestigt, die sich von einem hinteren Bereich der Bodenplatte 21 ausgehend nach oben und hinten erstreckt und der Unterstützung des Gehäuses 1 dient. Des Weiteren sind vier einteilig mit der Stütze 3 ausgebildete Schaltungs-Verbindungselemente 31 auch im hinteren Bereich der Bodenplatte 21 oberhalb dieser angeordnet, wobei die Stütze 3 aus einem hochwarmfesten und gut elektrisch leitenden Werkstoff, wie beispielsweise Metall, gefertigt ist. Deshalb sind auch die damit einteilig ausgebildeten Schaltungs-Verbindungselemente 31 beständig gegen hohe Temperaturen und besitzen eine gute elektrische Leitfähigkeit, was die Anforderungen an gewöhnliche Hausgeräte bezüglich ihrer interner Leitungen erfüllt. Wie aus ABB 4 ersichtlich ist, werden die Stütze 3 und die Schaltungs-Verbindungselemente 31 aus einem einzigen elektrisch leitenden Blechteil, wie Metallblech, einteilig hergestellt. Nach der einteiligen Herstellung wird zwischen den einzelnen Schaltungs-Verbindungselementen 31 bzw. zwischen den Schaltungs-Verbindungselementen 31 und der Stütze 3 eine Verbindungsrippe 311 ausgebildet. Anschließend werden die Stütze 3 und die Schaltungs-Verbindungselemente 31, welche miteinander einteilig ausgebildet sind, als Ganzes an den Grundträger 2 angebracht, wobei die Schaltungs-Verbindungselemente 31 je nach Schaltungsverlauf entsprechend gebogen werden. Überdies weisen die Schaltungs-Verbindungselemente 31 jeweils an beiden Enden ein Anschlussstück 312 auf und können über das Anschlussstück 312 auf oder an das jeweils zugeordnete elektrische Element, wie etwa das elektrische Heizelement 22, einen Temperaturregler 23 oder eine externe Kabelbaugruppe, aufgesteckt bzw. geschweißt werden. Danach werden die unbrauchbaren Verbindungsrippen 311 abgetrennt, damit die einzelnen Schaltungs-Verbindungselemente 31, wie in ABB 3 gezeigt, unabhängig voneinander arbeiten können.As is apparent from FIG. 3, a support 3 is fixed to the base support 2, extending upwardly and rearwardly from a rear portion of the floor panel 21 and serving to support the housing 1. Furthermore, four integrally formed with the support 3 circuit connecting elements 31 in the rear of the Base plate 21 is arranged above this, wherein the support 3 is made of a highly heat-resistant and highly electrically conductive material, such as metal. Therefore, the circuit connectors 31 integrally formed therewith are also resistant to high temperatures and have good electrical conductivity, meeting the requirements of ordinary home appliances with respect to their internal lines. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the support 3 and the circuit connection elements 31 are made of a single electrically conductive sheet metal part, such as sheet metal, in one piece. After the one-piece production, a connecting rib 311 is formed between the individual circuit connecting elements 31 or between the circuit connecting elements 31 and the support 3. Subsequently, the support 3 and the circuit connecting members 31, which are integrally formed with each other, are attached as a whole to the base support 2, wherein the circuit connecting elements 31 are bent according to the course of the circuit accordingly. Moreover, the circuit connectors 31 each have a terminal 312 at both ends and may be plugged or welded to the respective associated electrical element such as the electric heater 22, a temperature controller 23, or an external cable assembly via the connector 312 , Thereafter, the defective connection ribs 311 are cut off so that the individual circuit connection elements 31, as shown in FIG. 3, can operate independently of each other.

Da sich verschiedene elektrische Bügeleisen in der Struktur voneinander unterscheiden, kann die Stütze 3 auch anders als die vorstehend dargestellte Ausführungsform aufgebaut sein. So wird eine weitere Ausführungsform bereitgestellt, in der die Schaltungs-Verbindungselemente 31 und die Stütze 3 auf eine andere Weise miteinander einteilig ausgebildet sind. Wie der Abbildung 5 entnehmbar ist, sind nach der einteiligen Herstellung der Stütze 3 und der Schaltungs-Verbindungselemente 31 aus einem Blechteil drei Schaltungs-Verbindungselemente 31 jeweils über eine Verbindungsrippe 311 an einem hinteren Ende der Stütze 3 angeschlossen. Darüber hinaus ist ein weiteres Schaltungs-Verbindungselement 31 vorgesehen, dessen Anschlussstück 312 durch Stanzen unmittelbar in der Stütze 3 ausgebildet. Das heißt, dieses Anschlussstück 312, das in der Regel mit einer Erdleitung zu verbinden ist, muss nicht über eine Verbindungsrippe 311 an die Stütze 3 angeschlossen werden. Nachdem die Stütze 3 und die Schaltungs-Verbindungselemente 31, welche miteinander einteilig ausgebildet sind, als Ganzes an den Grundträger 2 angebracht worden sind, werden die drei am hinteren Ende der Stütze 3 befindlichen Schaltungs-Verbindungselemente 31 so verschwenkt, dass sie sich nun an einem vorderen Ende der Stütze 3 befinden. Anschließend werden die einzelnen Schaltungs-Verbindungselemente 31 je nach Schaltungsverlauf entsprechend gebogen. Auch hier weisen die Schaltungs-Verbindungselemente 31 jeweils an beiden Enden ein Anschlussstück 312 auf und können jeweils über ein der beiden Anschlussstücke 312 auf oder an das jeweils zugeordnete elektrische Element aufgesteckt bzw. geschweißt werden. Danach werden die nicht mehr nötigen Verbindungsrippen 311 abgetrennt, siehe hierzu ABB 6.Since various electric irons in the structure differ from each other, the support 3 may be constructed differently from the embodiment shown above. Thus, another embodiment is provided in which the circuit connecting elements 31 and the support 3 are integrally formed with each other in another way. Again Figure 5 can be removed, after the one-piece production of the support 3 and the circuit connecting elements 31 of a sheet metal part three circuit connecting elements 31 are each connected via a connecting rib 311 at a rear end of the support 3. In addition, a further circuit connecting element 31 is provided, whose connecting piece 312 is formed by punching directly in the support 3. That is, this connection piece 312, which is usually to be connected to a ground line, does not have to be connected to the support 3 via a connection rib 311. After the support 3 and the circuit connecting elements 31, which are integrally formed with each other, have been mounted as a whole on the base support 2, the three located at the rear end of the support 3 circuit connecting elements 31 are pivoted so that they are now located at a front end of the support 3. Subsequently, the individual circuit connecting elements 31 are bent accordingly depending on the course of the circuit. Here, too, the circuit connecting elements 31 each have a connection piece 312 at both ends and can each be plugged or welded onto the respectively assigned electrical element via one of the two connection pieces 312. Thereafter, the no longer necessary connecting ribs 311 are separated, see FIG. 6.

Die einteilige Ausbildung von Stütze 3 und Schaltungs-Verbindungselementen 31 ermöglicht weiterhin eine automatisierte Produktion von elektrischen Bügeleisen, indem die Stütze 3 und die Schaltungs-Verbindungselemente 31 auf einer automatisierten Produktionsplattform als Ganzes an den Grundträger 2 angebracht werden, ohne dass dabei die Schaltungs-Verbindungselemente 31 manuel Stück für Stück auf oder an das jeweilige elektrische Element aufgesteckt bzw. geschweißt werden zu müssen.The one-piece construction of support 3 and circuit connectors 31 further enables automated production of electric irons by mounting the support 3 and circuit connectors 31 on an automated production platform as a whole to the base support 2 without the circuit connectors 31 manuel piece by piece on or to the respective electrical element plugged or welded.

Des Weiteren können die zum Verbinden mit einer externen Kabelbaugruppe vorgesehenen Anschlussstücke 312 der einzelnen Schaltungs-Verbindungselemente 31 nebeneinander in einer gemeinsamen Ebene angeordnet sein, um eine einheitliche Steckverbindung zwischen der ganzen Schaltungs-Verbindungselementegruppe 31 und den schaltungsseitigen Anschlussklemmen der externen Kabel herstellen zu können. Dadurch wird die Benutzerfreundlichkeit und Genauigkeit gewährleistet.Further, the terminals 312 of the individual circuit connectors 31 provided for connection to an external cable assembly may be arranged side by side in a common plane to make a unitary connection between the entire circuit connector group 31 and the circuit-side terminals of the external cables. This ensures usability and accuracy.

Dadurch, dass die einzelnen Schaltungs-Verbindungselemente 31 im hinteren Bereich des Grundträgers 2 oberhalb diesem angeordnet sind, können ein Kontakt zwischen Schaltungs-Verbindungselementen 31 und Bodenplatte 21 und ein damit verbundenes Durchbrennen der Schaltungs-Verbindungselemente 31, was wiederum zum Schaltungsfehler führen kann, vermieden werden, da beim Betrieb die Bodenplatte 21 durch das elektrische Heizelement 22 auf eine hohe Temperatur erhitzt wird.Characterized in that the individual circuit connecting elements 31 are arranged in the rear region of the base support 2 above this, a contact between circuit connecting elements 31 and bottom plate 21 and a related burnout of the circuit connecting elements 31, which in turn can lead to circuit failure avoided In operation, since the bottom plate 21 is heated to a high temperature by the electric heating element 22.

Wie ferner aus ABB 7 zu ersehen ist, weist das Gehäuse 1 des elektrischen Bügeleisens eine Heckklappe 4 mit mehreren Aussparungen 41 jeweils zur Aufnahme des einen Anschlussstückes 312 der mehreren Schaltungs-Verbindungselemente 31 auf. Hierbei entstehen die Aussparungen 41 durch ein Trennen mehrerer Rippen voneinander, so dass die schaltungsseitigen Anschlussklemmen der mit den einzelnen Schaltungs-Verbindungselementen 31 verbundenen externen Kabel voneinander isoliert sind und damit eine gegenseitige Beeinflussung unterbunden wird.As further shown in FIG. 7, the housing 1 of the electric iron comprises a tailgate 4 having a plurality of recesses 41 each for receiving the one terminal 312 of the plurality of circuit connectors 31. in this connection The recesses 41 are formed by separating a plurality of ribs from each other, so that the circuit-side terminals of the external cables connected to the individual circuit connecting elements 31 are insulated from each other and thus mutual interference is suppressed.

Das oben Beschriebene stellt keine Einschränkung des Schutzumfangs der Erfindung, sondern lediglich eine nähere Erläuterung möglicher Ausführungsformen der Erfindung dar. So lässt sich die Erfindung, die zwar bisher am Beispiel eines elektrischen Bügeleisens dargestellt und beschrieben wurde, auch bei anderen Hausgeräten, wie beispielsweise einer Kaffeemaschine, einsetzen. Jede gleichwertige Ausführung oder Variation, welche von den Grundideen der Erfindung ausgeht, ist daher vom Schutzumfang der vorliegenden Erfindung umfasst.The above described is not a limitation of the scope of the invention, but only a more detailed explanation of possible embodiments of the invention. Thus, the invention, which has been shown and described using the example of an electric iron, even with other home appliances, such as a coffee machine , deploy. Any equivalent embodiment or variation, which is based on the basic ideas of the invention, is therefore included within the scope of the present invention.
