Definitions

  • the invention is in the field of equipment and machines which are used for treating, in particular for drying and / or washing, laundry or other objects and which are generally referred to below as laundry treatment machines.
  • the invention relates to a method for producing a loading door for a laundry treatment machine with a door frame and a sight glass held in the door frame, on which a seal is applied, wherein the door frame is formed at least by joining at least one frame inner part with at least one frame outer part, and the sight glass between the frame inner part and the frame outer part is introduced such that it is supported with at least one support surface on a plurality of door frame side support areas.
  • the invention further relates to a loading door for a laundry treatment machine having a door frame comprising at least one frame inner part and a frame outer part, and with a sight glass arranged in the door frame, which rests at least partially on contact areas of the door frame and on which a seal is applied.
  • a door frame which comprises at least one frame inner part and at least one outer frame part joined thereto. Between the frame parts, an insert is held and introduced in such a way that it is supported with at least one support surface on a plurality of door frame side support areas.
  • Insert is a preferably cup-shaped glass (sight glass), the edge of which is received in a circumferential gap or receiving space formed by the frame parts.
  • the receiving space is dimensioned so that enough clearance is available to compensate for production-related deviations in the actual measure of the thickness of the glass safely.
  • a seal is arranged between the frame inner part and the glass pane, which ensures a secure seal by its elasticity and its cross-section and also compensates for said manufacturing tolerances of the insert by a more or less strong axial compression.
  • the actual thickness of the door frame may vary by design if the elasticity of the seal is insufficient to completely compensate for any dimensional deviations of the insert thickness.
  • an object of the present invention is to specify a method for producing a loading door or in the creation of a loading door, is provided by or in which a tolerance compensation of the insert dimensions such that the thickness of the loading door always in a predetermined Target dimension is adjustable and thus design specifications can be met to the effect that, for example, the frame inner part and the frame outer part at predetermined edges without joints and gap lie on each other.
  • the material of the bearing areas is brought into a temporarily plastically deformable state before joining the frame parts, forces are applied to the bearing areas with inserted sight glass, so that they are so deformed by deformation of the geometry of the sight glass adjust that a given target amount of door thickness is adjusted, wherein the door thickness, the frame parts, which comprises between these inserted sight glass and the seal, and wherein the bearing areas then brought back into an undeformable (solid) state and the frame parts are joined.
  • a first significant advantage of the invention is thus that as well comparatively large tolerances can be accepted, in particular, in the dimensions of the insert that are relevant for the loading door thickness, because these are compensated for individually by displacement, erosion or deformation of the material of the door frame-side support areas. This also has a positive effect on the production costs because higher tolerances in the actual thickness of the insert are acceptable as a result.
  • the inventive method is also characterized by a simple feasibility and automation, because advantageously at the same time applied to the forces exerted on the door frame parts on these forces can also serve for deformation or shape adaptation / Vertikalwashanpassung the support areas.
  • the bearing areas After the bearing areas have again been brought into a substantially non-deformable or solid state-for example, a hardened or solidified state-they can reliably exert their supporting and holding functions in a geometry optimally adapted to the shape of the bearing surface of the insert.
  • a method of manufacturing a loading door which meets even the most demanding specifications regarding the gauge size of the loading door and the design specifications - e.g. a gapless joining of the door frame parts in the externally visible area (for example on the door frame lateral surface) - is sufficient.
  • the insert is brought into a prestressed position which is withdrawn with respect to the support areas during the joining and is released again after completion of the joining.
  • a bias is applied to the usually provided between inserts such as sight glasses and a frame part seal and thus creates a tight fit between the insert and the respective support area.
  • the insert sight glass
  • the insert can be detected by a suction cup and drawn in the direction of biasing.
  • the inventive temporary plastic deformability of at least the bearing areas can basically be realized by various physical and / or chemical methods.
  • a dissolving or softening of the support areas by a solvent or by (thermal) energy supply is conceivable.
  • the bearing areas or particularly preferably the frame inner part and the frame outer part are made of a thermoplastic material.
  • these can preferably be provided with cooperating connecting webs, which are heated together with the support areas and plastically deformed or connected.
  • a so-called heating mirror between the joining partners (frame inner part and frame outer part) can be positioned, so that the thermoplastic material melts due to the heat energy thus supplied. Then, the heating mirror is removed and the frame parts are placed on each other (joined) such that the cooperating connecting webs merge with each other.
  • the respective support region is adapted to the geometry of the insert or the support surface such that excess material is displaced.
  • the loading door manufacturing technology can be particularly elegant and expedient brought to a predetermined target thickness.
  • the support areas consist of a temporarily plastically deformable material and that the support areas are plastically deformed by the joining of the frame parts such that adjusts a predetermined target amount of door thickness, compensating for component tolerances of the sight glass, wherein the door thickness comprises the frame parts, the sight glass inserted between them and the seal.
  • frame inner part and frame outer part preferably made of a thermoplastic material and have cooperating connecting webs.
  • the insert may be a glass sheet or a so-called sight glass, e.g. can be made in a conventional manner from a preferably transparent plastic or silicate.
  • the advantages of the invention are also realized and / or preferred in the case of an (additional further) insert which comprises an element extending to the inside of the door, such as a signal transmitter or a locking element.
  • FIG. 1 shows a fragmentary sectional view of essential elements of a loading door 1 according to the invention prior to their final assembly or joining.
  • the loading door 1 comprises a door frame 2, which consists of at least one frame inner part 3 and a (in FIG. 1 not yet joined) frame outer part 4 is formed. Between the frame parts 3, 4, an insert 6 is arranged in the form of a sight glass 7 already inserted into the frame inner part 3, which is held after the joining between the frame parts.
  • the sight glass 7 has a circumferential edge 8, which comprises a door frame inside bearing surface 9 and a door frame outer side bearing surface 10.
  • the sight glass 7 rests on a previously applied to a circumferential ridge 12 or rolled-up seal 14, which provides with an inside sealing lip 15 in a conventional manner for a sealing closure of a feed opening, not shown, a laundry treatment machine through the loading door 1.
  • the support surface 10 is supported in the mounted state of the loading door several doorframe side support areas 20 from, of which in FIG. 1 by way of example only, a support portion of a substantially radially extending rib or ridge 21 is shown.
  • At least the support regions 20 are made of a material 22 which is temporarily plastically deformable.
  • Both the frame inner part 3 and the frame outer part 4 are made of a thermoplastic material.
  • At least the supporting regions 20 are brought into a temporarily plastically deformable state, for example by introducing heat.
  • a so-called (in FIG. 1 not shown) heating mirror are introduced, which specifically heats the areas of the frame parts 3, 4 to be softened due to its adapted geometry.
  • the sight glass 7 is gripped at its curvature by a suction cup, not shown, and pulled in the direction of arrow 24 vertically downwards. Due to the elastic deformation of the seal 14, the insert 6 (sight glass 7) is thus in a prestressed position, which has a somewhat decreasing effect on the material removal or on the material displacement in the region of the support regions 20.
  • the frame parts are preferably made by thermoplastic fusion of connecting webs (as described below in connection with FIGS FIG. 3 even more detailed) and as in FIG. 2 shown connected. How out FIG. 2 can be seen in the region of the support region 20, this is optimally adapted to the geometry of the sight glass 7, ie, on the geometry and the shape of the support surface 10 by the targeted melting described above. After re-hardening of the thermoplastic material, the rib 21 forms a strong and highly resilient support for the sight glass 7. After removal of the bias by removing the suction cup, the door seal 14 resiliently against the direction of the arrow 24 elastically rebound again, resulting in a tight interference fit between support surface 10 and the corresponding cooperating contact surface 25 of the support area 20 leads.
  • FIG. 3 shows in further detail the joining principle and the adjustment of the nominal dimension of the door thickness in a perspective view
  • the insert 6 (FIG. FIG. 1
  • One recognizes several distributed over the circumference holding or support webs 21, of which representative a support web 21 in connection with the FIGS. 1 and 2 has been described in detail.
  • the remaining support webs are at their support areas 20 in a corresponding manner to the individual geometry and tolerant thickness of (in FIG. 3 Not shown) use adapted by melting.
  • It also recognizes a substantially circumferential, corrugated connecting web 30 and a further connecting web 31, which cooperate with correspondingly formed and complementarily positioned connecting webs of the frame inner part 3 when joining the frame parts.
  • FIG. 4 shows in an approximately radial view increases the area A from FIG. 3 , It can be seen a centering post 40 and on both sides arranged posts 41, 42 with an approximately cross-shaped cross section and formed at their respective free end support areas 43, 44. On these support areas 43, 44 is a support surface of a functional insert, such as a signal transmitter pin, using a Frame interior fixed and stored.
  • a functional insert such as a signal transmitter pin
  • FIG. 5 shows in sectional view with attached insert 50, penetrates the centering post 40 a corresponding receiving bore 52 of a door frame inner part 54, which may be formed integrally with the insert 50 as shown in this embodiment.
  • On the inside bearing surfaces 55, 56 of the insert 50 are based on the support areas 43, 44, which made in a corresponding manner by previously done heating the material of the posts 41, 42 temporarily plastically deformable have been prepared and so to a tolerance compensating removal or displacement of the material.
