Description

The invention relates to a dishwasher, in particular domestic dishwasher, comprising a top part comprising at least one washing container and a front container door and having a plurality of base units supporting at least one machine base and arranged below the upper part, wherein the container door has an inner door facing the washing compartment and an inner door Rinsing container facing away from the inner door of the container door at least partially outer door comprises, wherein between the outer door of the container door and the front machine base of the base support at least one sound shield is disposed, wherein the at least one sound shield arranged either on the machine base of the base support or on the outer door of the container door and on the other unit, ie on the outer door of the container door or on the machine base of the base support, only at g eschlossener container door rests soundproof, and wherein the at least one sound shield engages at least when the container door open in a located at least between the outer door of the container door and the inner door of the container door door space or located in a region of the machine base of the base support space.

In dishwashers of the type mentioned, there is a difficulty, in particular with built-in appliances, in that sound can easily escape in a boundary region between a movable container door and a lower base region located below the washing container. This possibly easily emerging sound is caused on the one hand by resulting in the washing water jets, such as spray arms introduced via spray arms, on the other hand it is generated by generated in the base area technology noise, such as through the drain pump, heat pump and valves that emerge via generated airborne sound at the mentioned boundary point can, caused. This possibly easily emerging sound is particularly undesirable if the site, such as the kitchen, where the dishwasher is usually located, should also be used as living space.

Swing-down container doors of such dishwashers are often constructed in such a way that an inner area, often made of stainless steel, is liquid-tight and steam-sealed in relation to the washing compartment. This area is often referred to as the inner door. Outwardly, the inner door in an outer region of the container door, often referred to as the outer door, added, which forms at least a front optical seal, which in turn can be provided on the front with a furniture panel or similar decor. The container door can swing when opening with its lower portion in a gap in front of a recessed machine base. For this purpose, it may be desirable to equip the outer door, although the front side and the front side, so the device sides, with panels, but down to leave an open space that allows a collision-free pivoting of the container door relative to the machine base. However, this keeping open promotes the sound leakage from the dishwasher to the outside.

The publication DE 199 07 145 A1 discloses a domestic dishwasher with a pivotable about a horizontal axis, an inner door and an outer door shell-shaped door for closing a Spülbehälters extending to its lower edge in the region of the upper edge of the bottom-near completion of the domestic dishwasher dishwasher-forming machine base. A gap formed between the bottom edge of the door and the top edge of the machine base is closed over the entire width of the household dishwasher.

The publication WO 2008/117906 A1 discloses a gasket which completely bridges a gap width formed between the machine base and the outer door and is solidified on both units. However, this requires a complex assembly and a high and durable material to be maintained elasticity, so that the cost is considerable.

In addition, dishwashers are known in which the gap located in the lower area of the outer door to the base area is closed by a rubber apron. The rubber apron is glued to the lower part of the outer door and hangs down from there with a component downwards. However, no reliable seal is guaranteed. In addition, the bonding process is complex, the rubber material expensive and hanging down the rubber apron down can be visually disadvantageous.

There are also known solutions that require a closed lower edge of the outer door, which is unfavorable in terms of the pivot geometry.

The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, of the type mentioned with a low-priced and easy-to-install sound shield.

This object is achieved in that the at least one sound shield at least one hard holding area to an arrangement on the machine base of the base support or on the outer door of the container door, the hard holding area facing away and hard lip area to a soundproof system to the other unit, so the outer door of the container door or on the machine base of the base support, only with the container door closed and lying between the hard holding area and the hard lip area and soft neck area, on the elastic deformability of a soundproof system of hard lip area only when the container door to the outside door of the container door or on the machine base of the base support is included.

The invention provides a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, in which the sound shield is arranged, in particular fixed, on only one of the two known structural units outside door of the container door and machine base of the base carrier. Also, a simplification of assembly, since in contrast to a two-sided mounting a Vormontierbarkeit is simply given and further assembly steps in unfavorable position for the employee after installation of the container door no longer need to be done. Since the sound shield on the other unit, ie on the outer door of the container door or on the machine base of the base support, rests soundproof only when the container door closed, the sound shield does not require flexibility to follow the container door movement at its opening. Suffice it a small elastic range, such as a sealing lip or a neck area to ensure the sealing system with the container door closed. Due to the fact that the sound shield engages, at least when the container door is open, in a door space located at least between the outer door of the container door and the inner door of the container door or in a space located in a region of the machine base of the base support, the sound shield is optically concealed and can not be seen from the outside. The seal can For example, with respect to a washing container facing the inner surface of the outer door of the container door done. The outer door of the container door does not require a closed lower edge, on which the sound shield could be supported, but can be favorable for the swing geometry open down. Moreover, the sound-shielding end of the sound-shielding which bears only soundly when the container door is closed is preferably arranged in a cantilevered manner.

Both the holding region of the sound shield and the lip region of the sound shield have in principle a greater hardness than the neck region of the sound shield. The hardnesses of the acoustic shield holding portion and the lip portion of the sound shield may be the same, approximately the same or different.

The sound shield of the dishwasher according to the invention, in particular household dishwasher, also effectively avoids a so-called stick-slip effect or stick-slip effect and contributes optimally to a reduction in the noise level. In spite of the essentially rigidly executed body of the sound shielding with the dense system, the result is a good soundproofing of the otherwise open gap between the outer door of the container door and the machine base.

Under production-related aspects, the neck region of the sound shield which lies between the hard holding region and the hard lip region is preferably injection-molded onto the hard holding region of the sound shield. In addition, the hard holding region facing away from the hard holding area and hard lip portion of the sound shield is preferably molded onto the soft neck region of the sound shield.

Furthermore, the hard outer lip region of the soundproofing of the dishwasher according to the invention, in particular domestic dishwasher, preferably has at least one of the following properties: a hardness in the range of 71 to 75 Shore D, preferably 72 to 74 Shore D, in particular of about 73 Shore D, a Range length of 3 to 7 mm, preferably from 4 to 6 mm, in particular from about 5 mm, an area cross section of 3 to 10 mm ² , preferably from 4 to 7 mm ² , in particular from about 5 mm ² , and / or an end-side radius from 0.25 to 1 mm, in particular from about 0.5 mm. The value of Shore D hardness is determined here according to DIN 53505 and DIN EN ISO 868. This elastic deformability enables a soundproof installation of the hard lip area only when the container door is closed on the outer door of the container door or on the machine base of the base support.

The soft sound-absorbing neck region between the hard holding region and the hard lip region preferably has at least one of the following properties: a hardness in the range from 73 to 77 Shore A, preferably from 74 to 76 Shore A, in particular from approximately 75 Shore A, an area length of 1 to 5 mm, preferably of 1.5 to 3 mm, in particular of about 2 mm, and / or an area cross section of 1 to 5 mm ² , preferably of 1.5 to 3 mm ² , in particular of about 2 mm ² . The value of the Shore A hardness is determined here in accordance with DIN 53505 and DIN EN ISO 868. Again, this elastic deformability favors a soundproof system of the hard lip area only when the container door is closed on the outside door of the container door or on the machine base of the base support.

The hard lip area of the sound shield facing away from the hard holding area and the hard holding area of the sound shield in an undeformed state are preferably at an angle of 20 to 60 °, preferably 30 to 40 °, in particular about 35 °, to a longitudinal axis of the hard holding area of the sound shield aligned. These angular ranges ensure a sound-proof concern of the soundproofing process reliably and continuously at least when the container door is closed.

If the sound shield of the dishwasher according to the invention, in particular domestic dishwasher, engages both in the open and closed container door in located between the outer door of the container door and the inner door of the container door door space of the container door, the sound shield always invisible and must not follow the movement of the container door ,

The sound shield of the dishwasher according to the invention, in particular domestic dishwasher, is preferably mounted on an end of the machine base, in particular a base rail or the container snout, which is oriented towards the front and to the container door. The preassembled unit can then be attached to the body of the dishwasher, in particular household dishwasher, and then the can Be set container door, without then any adjustment measures of the sound shield would be required to the container door.

Gluing or screwing the sound shield of the dishwasher according to the invention, in particular domestic dishwasher is not necessary, if this is clipped in an advantageous manner to the forward and to the container door aligned end of the machine base, in particular the base rail. Here it is supportive that the sound shield is essentially designed as a rigid and hard, non-rubbery body, so that even a C-shaped jaw can be clipped onto the base rail latching and holds there without further action.

In this or a similar mounting solution, the sound shield of the dishwasher according to the invention, in particular domestic dishwasher is preferably mounted on the forward and to the container door aligned end of the machine base, in particular the base rail, without tools, making the installation is particularly simple and fast.

The sound shield of the dishwasher according to the invention, in particular household dishwasher, may be designed so that it still retains its position during the opening or closing movement of the container door. As a result, a very inexpensive material can be used for the soundproofing of the dishwasher according to the invention, in particular domestic dishwasher, for example a thermoplastic, such as a PVC material.

In particular, in order to avoid implementations and save time, it is also possible for at least the hard holding area, the soft neck area and the hard lip area of the sound shield to be sprayed in a common tool. Manufacturing technology is simple, as already mentioned, preferably between the hard holding portion and the hard lip area and soft neck portion of the sound shield molded to the hard holding portion of the sound shield. In addition, the hard holding region facing away from the hard holding area and hard lip portion of the sound shield is preferably molded onto the soft neck region of the sound shield.

Further advantages and features will become apparent from the drawing illustrated and described below embodiments of the subject invention.

In the figures, identical, functionally identical or equivalent elements or components are provided with the same reference numerals. In this case, only those components of the dishwasher are provided with reference numerals and explained, which are important for understanding the invention. Of course you can a dishwasher according to the invention but also include other components or assemblies.

In the Fig. 1 Dishwasher 1 shown schematically is preferably a domestic dishwasher and has a liquid-tight washing container 2 for receiving items to be processed dishes such as dishes, pots, cutlery, glasses, cooking utensils and the like. The rinsing container 2 may have an at least substantially rectangular floor plan with a front side V facing a user in the operating position.

The container 2 can be closed on its front side V by a front-side container door 3. The container door 3 is in the Fig. 1 shown in the closed position and, for example, pivotable about a lower and preferably horizontal pivot axis 3.A in the direction of the arrow 3.R ( FIGS. 7 to 9 ). The washing container 2 and the front-side container door 3 form the upper part 1.0 of the dishwasher 1.

The items to be washed can be held in at least one washing basket 4; Here are exactly two baskets 4, 5 are provided one above the other in the washing container 2. The number of washing baskets 4, 5 may vary depending on the extent and type of the dishwasher 1. Also, a so-called cutlery drawer may be additionally provided. These crockery baskets 4, 5 are sprayers 6, 7, 8, for example, over long in the radial direction, each rotatable about a center spray arms 6, 7, or via individual nozzles 8 with fresh water FW and / or with circulating water, with Cleaning agent is added, so-called wash liquor S, acted upon.

Furthermore, the rinsing baskets 4, 5 can be displaced forward, for example, on rollers 10, so as to achieve an access position for the user, in which the rinsing baskets 4, 5 can be conveniently loaded and unloaded. As webs for the rollers 10 side rails are provided in the washing compartment 2. Furthermore, at the respective front edge levels of the washing baskets 4, 5 pull and push handles to simplify the insertion and removal of the washing baskets 4, 5 may be provided.

The fresh water FW and / or the circulating and with cleaning agents and or contaminants from the washware added wash liquor S runs after its or its distribution in the washing compartment 2 and on the items to be washed down over a arranged in the bottom portion of the washing compartment 2 screen unit 11 to a this downstream circulating pump unit 12, of which it has at least one in Fig. 1 only schematically illustrated heater 13 again to a manifold 14 and from there to the said sprayers 6, 7, 8 is passed. For pumping out the liquid from the washing container, however, is passed via a pump 9 as wastewater AW from the dishwasher 1. All these technical units cause - as well as switching valves - in operation usually unwanted noise.

The pivotable container door 3 comprises a fluid-sealed relative to a bottom region 15 of the washing container 2 - the seal is not shown here - inner door 3.1.

This is firmly connected to an outer door 3.2 adjoining it outwards. This comprises at least a front side panel 16 and side panels 17, so that in bottom view ( Fig. 2 ) in the lower region 18 of the outer door 3.2 gives a U-shaped cross-sectional configuration of the outer door 3.2. Due to the fact that it does not have to be completed in the lower area, downwards and backwards, towards the inner door 3.1, it is possible to intervene in the U-shape from below and behind. At the front panel 16 may still connect a furniture panel or other decorative surface forward.

Below the washing container 2, a front-side machine base 19 is provided which can accommodate the above-mentioned pumps 9, 12, the heater 13, the manifold 14 and other equipment units and which is supported for example via feet 20 relative to the ground. The front machine base 19 and the device units are usually carried by a base support 1.U. In the area facing the front and the front V, a front boundary 21 of the machine base 19 terminates here in a base rail 22, wherein there are different geometrical solutions for this area.

Between the outer door 3.2 of the container door 3 and the machine base 19 at least one - according to the drawing exactly one - sound shield 23 is arranged. At least when the container door 3 is open, this sound shield 23 engages in the door space 3.S of the container door 3, which is shielded by at least one covering 16 or 17, in its lower region 18 and is thus optically hidden. Ideally, it fills the gap between the panels 16 and 17 when the container door is closed, so that this possible passage space for sound is closed.

The sound shield 23 is arranged only on one of the two units, namely on the machine base 19 of the base support 1.U or optionally on the outer door 3.2 of the container door 3, and is located on the other unit, ie on the outer door 3.2 of the container door 3 or the machine base 1 of the base support 1.U, soundproofing only when the container door 3 closed by there in the door space 3.S the container door 3 or the open lower portion 18 engages.

When opening the container door 3 (for example, transition from Fig. 3 to Fig. 4 ) ends the sound shield on the inner surface of the outer door 3.2. This is not a problem since the noise shield is required only during operation, ie when the container door is closed. Nevertheless, even when the container door 3 is open, the sound shield 23 still engages in the exterior area 3.2 of the container door 3, which is shielded by the side 17 and front panels 16, as is the case with the container door 3 closed, and is thus optically hidden and protected against damage.

Thus, the sound shield 23 does not have to follow the movement of the container door 3 and can therefore consist, for example, essentially of a hard and inflexible material, for example a thermoplastic. Here comes about a cheap PVC material into consideration.

According to the embodiment, the sound shield 23 forms an extruded and freely cutable profile, which is mounted on the forward facing base rail 22 of the machine base 19 or the container spout.

The sound shield 23 is here exemplified on the forward and to the container door 3 aligned towards the end of the machine base 19, so clipped to the base rail 22 and has for this purpose of an upper leg 25 and a lower leg 26 limited and hard holding area 24 ( Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 ). In addition, the sound shield 23 on the base rail 22, which is, for example, folded over twice or crimped or thickened otherwise, be tool-free mountable and engage around with a nose-shaped projection 27, the base rail 22. Other types of attachment of the sound shield 23 to the base rail 22 would be possible, for example, a locking over several teeth or sticking.

According to a first embodiment according to Fig. 5 The sound shield 23 furthermore comprises a hard lip region 28 facing away from the hard holding region 24 and forming a soundproof contact with the other structural unit only when the container door 3 is closed. And between the hard holding region 24 and the hard lip region 28, the sound shielding 23 comprises a soft neck region 29 the elastic deformability of a soundproof system of the hard lip portion 28 is only possible when the container door is closed on the outer door 3.2 of the container door 3. Here, however, the actual lip region 28 is hard, so that there is no squeaking noise in the vicinity of the closed container door 3 during a movement of the container door 3 between the latter and the lip region 28. Also in this embodiment, a coextrusion in a common tool or a subsequent injection is possible.

The hard lip region 28 of the sound shield 23 which faces away from the holding region 24 has at least one of the following properties: hardness 28.H in the range from 71 to 75 Shore D, preferably from 72 to 74 Shore D, in particular from approximately 73 Shore D Area length 28.L of 3 to 7 mm, preferably from 4 to 6 mm, in particular from about 5 mm, a range cross section 28.Q of 3 to 10 mm ² , preferably from 4 to 7mm ² , in particular from about 5 mm ² , and / or an end radius 28.R of 0.25 to 1 mm, in particular of about 0.5 mm.

Moreover, the soft neck region 29 of the sound shield 23 located between the hard holding region 24 and the hard lip region 28 has at least one of the following properties: hardness 29.H in the range of 73 to 77 Shore A, preferably 74 to 76 Shore A, in particular of about 75 Shore A, an area length 29.L of 1 to 5 mm, preferably of 1.5 to 3 mm, in particular of about 2 mm, and / or an area cross-section 29.Q of 1 to 5 mm ² , preferably of 1.5 to 3 mm ² , in particular of about 2 mm ² .

The hard lip region 28 of the sound shield 23 facing away from the hard holding region 24 and the hard holding region 24 of the sound shield 23 are each in an undeformed state at an angle W of 20 to 60 °, preferably 30 to 40 °, in particular about 35 °, to a longitudinal axis 24.A of the hard holding portion 24 of the sound shield 23 aligned.

Under manufacturing aspects of lying between the hard holding portion 24 and the hard lip portion 28 and soft neck portion 29 of the sound shield 23 is molded onto the hard holding portion 24 of the sound shield 23: And the hard holding portion 24 facing away and hard lip portion 28 of the sound shield 23 is to the soft neck portion 29 of the sound shield 23 molded.

The fact that the downwardly open gap of the outer door 3.2 of the container door 3 is covered by the sound shield 23 during operation results in a reduction of the sound emerging from the dishwasher 1 by more than one decibel (A). It is a moving sealing point whose relative position relative to the container door 3 does not remain the same when the container door 3 is moved. Despite the one-sided connection, a similar sound reduction is achieved as with a rubber apron tied on both sides. The invention is much cheaper than a rubber apron or a fleece (as occurs in stuffed adsorbent materials) - and also easy to assemble.

In a second embodiment according to Fig. 6 includes the sound shield 23 has a soft, elastically deformable lip portion 28, on the elastic deformability of a slipping system of the sweeping end with closed container door 3 to the inner surface of the outer door 3.2 (or from the container door 3, starting inverted to the base rail 22 down -je after installation) is. The soft lip region 28 can be sprayed onto the remaining regions of the sound shield 23 in a tool or in separate tools.

In summary, it should be noted that the invention further develops a dishwashing machine known in accordance with the preamble of the independent claim, in particular a household dishwasher, in such a way that it provides a low-cost and easy-to-install soundproofing.
