Description

Gehäuse für Haushaltsgeräte wie beispielsweise Wäschetrockner, Waschmaschine, Geschirrspülmaschine oder dergleichen.Housing for household appliances such as tumble dryer, washing machine, dishwasher or the like.

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gehäuse für Haushaltsgeräte wie beispielsweise Wäschetrockner, Waschmaschine, Geschirrspülmaschine oder dergleichen, welches in seiner Grundbauform ein Bodenmodul, eine Rückwand, Seitenwände und eine Vorderwand umfasst.The invention relates to a housing for household appliances such as dryers, washing machines, dishwashers or the like, which in its basic design comprises a floor module, a rear wall, side walls and a front wall.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind gemäß der DE 103 03 131 , der DE 198 23 424 sowie aus der DE 38 13 462 Waschmaschinengehäuse bzw. Gehäuse für Haushaltsgeräte bekannt. Bei diesen aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Gehäusen gibt es unterschiedliche Bauformen für die jeweilige Oberfläche oder Montageart, was eine frühe Variantenbildung beim Gehäuseaufbau erfordert. Die DE 603 13 461 T2 und die KR 100 261 715 B1 zeigen rahmenlos aufgebaute Gehäuse mit Bodenplatte, Seitenwänden, Rückwand und Vorderwand, bei denen die Vorderwand gegenüber den Seitenwänden mittels formschlüssig mit Bereichen der Seitenwände verbundenen Elementen unter Einbindung eines Haltelements an den Seitenwänden festlegbar ist.From the prior art are according to the DE 103 03 131 , of the DE 198 23 424 as well as from the DE 38 13 462 Washing machine housing or housing for household appliances known. In these known from the prior art housings there are different designs for each surface or mounting style, which requires an early variant formation in the housing structure. The DE 603 13 461 T2 and the KR 100 261 715 B1 show frameless constructed housing with bottom plate, side walls, rear wall and front wall, in which the front wall relative to the side walls by means of positively connected to areas of the side walls elements with the inclusion of a retaining element on the side walls can be fixed.

Bei den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Gehäusen, welche einen eigenständigen inneren Rahmen aufweisen, ist es erforderlich, dass die von außen auf das Gerät wirkenden Lasten passend verteilt werden. Die von außen sichtbaren Spaltbilder sollen dabei möglichst eng und gleichmäßig sein. Zudem sollen die gewählten Lösungen möglichst auch montagefreundlich sein.In the known from the prior art housings, which have a separate inner frame, it is necessary that the externally acting on the device loads are distributed appropriately. The visible from the outside slit images should be as narrow and even. In addition, the solutions chosen should be as easy as possible assembly.

Der Erfindung stellt sich das Problem, ein rahmenloses Gehäuse für Haushaltsgeräte, wie beispielsweise einen Wäschetrockner, Waschmaschine, Geschirrspüler oder dergleichen, derart bereit zu stellen, welches ein Einheitsgehäuse mit Variantenbildung durch Anbauteile und geeigneter Verbindungstechnik umfasst.The invention addresses the problem of providing a frameless housing for household appliances, such as a tumble dryer, washing machine, dishwasher or the like, to provide such a unit housing with variant formation by attachments and suitable connection technology.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.According to the invention, this problem is solved by the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention will become apparent from the following subclaims.

Die mit der Erfindung erreichten Vorteile bestehen nun darin, dass mit der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung eine genaue Höhenposition der Seitenwände gewährleistet wird. Dabei wird ebenfalls eine genaue Gesamtbreite des Gerätes, Breite Seitenwand zu Seitenwand gewährleistet. Zudem ergibt sich eine einfachere Montage der Seitenwände, wobei von außen sichtlich wirkende Lasten aufgenommen werden können und ins Gerät abgeleitet werden. Die von außen sichtbaren Spaltbilder sind eng und gleichmäßig ausgestaltet. Die exakte Höhenposition der Seitenwände ist hierbei für das Spaltbild gewährleistet und somit für die Spritzwassersicherheit und die Elektrosicherheit des Gerätes. Die Seitenwände werden vorne an Anbindungselementen, wie beispielsweise Haken, an der Vorderwand eingehängt. Somit gibt die Breite der Vorderwand quasi die Distanz der Seitenwände zueinander vor, und damit die Gesamtgerätebreite. Dabei können die Seitenwände einfach montiert aber auch im Bedarfsfall demontiert werden.The advantages achieved with the invention now consist in that with the solution according to the invention an exact height position of the side walls is ensured. In this case also an exact overall width of the device, width sidewall to side wall is guaranteed. In addition, there is a simpler installation of the side walls, which from the outside visibly acting loads can be absorbed and discharged into the device. The visible from the outside slit images are designed narrow and uniform. The exact height position of the side walls is ensured here for the slit image and thus for the splash water safety and electrical safety of the device. The side walls are hung on the front wall on attachment elements, such as hooks on the front wall. Thus, the width of the front wall gives quasi the distance of the side walls to each other before, and thus the total device width. The side walls can be easily mounted but also dismantled if necessary.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung werden Haken eingesetzt, die nur für die Ausrichtung in der Y-Ebene der Seitenwände zuständig sind, also nicht für die Höhenposition der Seitenwand zur Vorderwand, das heißt, die Seitenwand liegt nicht im montierten Zustand auf den Haken auf. Die Haken werden in der Vormontage der Baugruppe montiert und mittels Schrauben an der Vorderwand fixiert. Eine Einstellung bzw. Leere für die Haken wird dabei nicht benötigt. Die auf der Vorderwand aufliegenden Winkel werden über Kegelprägungen, welche eine Verdrehsicherung bewirken, an der Seitenwand montiert und positioniert. Eine Verschraubung des Winkels dient zur Fixierung des Formschlusses und zur Kraftübertragung. Um Fehlmontagen der Haken an der Vorderwand zu vermeiden, ist der rechteckige Grundkörper des Hakens, der in die Vorderwand eintaucht, an einer Ecke deutlich erkennbar angefast, was sich auch im Lochbild an der Vorderwand wieder spiegelt. Rastnasen am Haken ermöglichen eine Vorrastung des Hakens an der Vorderwand, so dass der Haken nach dem Einstecken in die Vorderwand selbsthaftend an der Vorderwand losgelassen werden kann, um dann die Schraube zur Sicherung bzw. Klemmung des Hakens setzen zu können. Ist der Haken an der Vorderwand montiert und in seiner montierten Position festgelegt, kann nun die Seitenwand in einfacher Weise an die Vorderwand angehängt werden. Eine Abstützung der Seitenwand in der Höhe ergibt sich durch das als Winkel ausgebildete Halteelement, welches an der Seitenwand vormontiert ist.In the solution according to the invention hooks are used, which are responsible only for the alignment in the Y-plane of the side walls, so not for the height position of the side wall to the front wall, that is, the side wall is not in the assembled state on the hook. The hooks are mounted in the pre-assembly of the assembly and fixed by screws on the front wall. A setting or emptiness for the hook is not needed. The angles resting on the front wall are mounted and positioned on the side wall via conical embossments, which cause an anti-rotation. A screw of the angle is used to fix the positive connection and power transmission. In order to avoid incorrect mounting of the hooks on the front wall, the rectangular base body of the hook, which dips into the front wall, chamfered at one corner clearly recognizable, which also reflects in the hole pattern on the front wall again. Latches on the hook allow a pre-engagement of the hook on the front wall, so that the hook can be released after insertion into the front wall self-adhesive on the front wall, then to put the screw for securing or clamping the hook can. If the hook mounted on the front wall and fixed in its mounted position, the side wall can now be easily attached to the front wall. A support of the side wall in height results from the designed as an angle holding element, which is pre-mounted on the side wall.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird hierzu vorgeschlagen, dass die Seitenwände zum rahmenlosen Aufbau des Gehäuses zur Ausrichtung in der seitlichen Neigung (Y-Ausrichtung) gegenüber der Vorderwand an in der Vormontage montierten Elementen der Vorderwand festlegbar sind, wobei die Elemente aus Haken bestehen, die an dem Abkantungsprofil der Vorderwand festgelegt sind und dass die Seitenwände unter Einbindung eines Halteelementes zur Ausrichtung in der Höhe (Z-Ausrichtung) festlegbar sind, wobei die Halteelemente aus auf der Vorderwand aufliegenden Winkelelementen bestehen, welche mittels einer Kegelprägung jeweils an der Seitenwand festgelegt sind und wobei der einzelne Haken an der Vorderwand mit einer am Abkantungsprofil der Seitenwand angeordneten Schlüssellochstanzung im zusammengefügten Zustand zusammenwirkt.According to the invention, it is proposed for this purpose that the side walls for frameless construction of the housing for alignment in the lateral inclination (Y-orientation) relative to the front wall are fixed to pre-assembled elements of the front wall, wherein the elements consist of hooks on the Bevel profile of the front wall are fixed and that the side walls with the involvement of a retaining element for alignment in the height (Z-orientation) can be fixed, wherein the holding elements consist of resting on the front wall angle elements, which are fixed by means of a conical embossing respectively on the side wall and wherein the individual hooks on the front wall with a arranged on Abkantungsprofil the side wall keyhole punching in the assembled state cooperates.

Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht der einzelne Haken hierbei aus einem Kunststoffformteil. welches eine Rechteckform zur Festlegung der Seitenwand aufweist. Der Haken als solches legt hierbei mit seinen seitlichen Anlageflächen der Rechteckform die Neigung der Seitenwand zur Vorderwand in der Schlüssellochstanzung fest. Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist der einzelne Haken eine Anfasung auf, zur definierten Einbaulage in einer an dem Abkantungsprofil der Vorderwand vorgesehenen Lochstanzung. Zur festen Einbindung des Hakens in der Lochausstanzung an dem Abkantungsprofil der Vorderwand ist der Haken spreizdübelartig ausgebildet. Der Haken umfasst hierbei zur Festlegung in der Lochstanzung zwei Rastnasen, zwischen denen eine Schraube eindrehbar ist. Um insbesondere die Seitenwand leicht an der Vorderwand einfädeln zu können, weist der Haken eine Einfädelprofilierung auf, die im Wesentlichen an dem Hakenelement aus einem horizontal angeformten Steg mit Schrägflanken ausgebildet ist.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the single hook in this case consists of a plastic molding. which has a rectangular shape for fixing the side wall. The hook as such defines here with its lateral contact surfaces of the rectangular shape, the inclination of the side wall to the front wall in the keyhole punching. According to a development of the invention, the single hook on a chamfer, the defined mounting position in a provided on the Abkantungsprofil the front wall hole punching. For fixed integration of the hook in the punched hole in the Abkantungsprofil the Front wall of the hook is spread dowel-like design. The hook comprises here for fixing in the hole punching two locking lugs, between which a screw can be screwed.

Die Figuren 1, 2 und 3 zeigen Gehäusebereiche eines Gehäuses 1 für Haushaltsgeräte, wie beispielsweise einen Wäschetrockner, eine Waschmaschine, eine Geschirrspülmaschine oder dergleichen, welches in seiner Grundbauform ein nicht näher dargestelltes Bodenmodul, eine Rückwand sowie Seitenwände 2 und eine Vorderwand 3 umfasst. In der Figur 1 ist insbesondere die Montageabfolge der Seitenwand 2 an eine vormontierte Vorderwand 3 dargestellt. Dabei wird zunächst die Vorderwand 3 an dem nicht näher dargestellten Bodenmodul festgelegt, die somit in eine senkrechte Lage gestellt wird, wobei dann gemäß der Pfeilrichtung I zunächst die Seitenwand 2 an die Befestigungselemente an der Vorderwand 3 herangeführt wird, wobei dann die Seitenwand 2 in Anbindung an der Vorderwand 3 diese gemäß der Pfeilrichtung II in die haltende Lage verbracht wird, wie dies in der dritten Darstellung gezeigt wird.The FIGS. 1 . 2 and 3 show housing portions of a housing 1 for household appliances, such as a tumble dryer, a washing machine, a dishwasher or the like, which includes a bottom module not shown in detail, a rear wall and side walls 2 and a front wall 3 in its basic design. In the FIG. 1 In particular, the assembly sequence of the side wall 2 is shown on a preassembled front wall 3. Initially, the front wall 3 is fixed to the bottom module, not shown, which is thus placed in a vertical position, in which case, according to the direction of the arrow I, the side wall 2 initially brought to the fasteners on the front wall 3 is, in which case the side wall 2 in connection with the front wall 3, this is spent in the direction of the arrow II in the holding position, as shown in the third illustration.

Um dies zu ermöglichen sind die Seitenwände 2 zum rahmenlosen Aufbau des Gehäuses 1 zur Ausrichtung in der Höhe (Z-Ausrichtung) bzw. in der seitlichen Neigung (Y- Ausrichtung) gegenüber der Vorderwand 3 an in der Vormontage montierten Elementen 4 an der Vorderwand 3 und unter Einbindung eines als Winkel ausgebildeten Halteelementes 5 an der Seitenwand 2 festlegbar. Wie insbesondere in den Figuren 3, 4, 5, 6 zu erkennen ist, sind die montierten Elemente 4 aus Haken 6 gebildet, die an dem Abkantungsprofil 7 der Vorderwand 3 festgelegt sind. Der einzelne Haken 6 an der Vorderwand 3 wirkt mit einer am Abkantungsprofil der Seitenwand 2 angeordneten Schlüssellochstanzung 8 im zusammengefügten Zustand zusammen, wie dies insbesondere in den Figuren 7, 8, 9 und 10 gezeigt wird. Auch ist dies in der Figur 3 in der Rückansicht zu erkennen, wo das Halteelement 5 mit seinem horizontal verlaufenden Schenkel auf dem oberen Randbereich der Vorderwand 3 aufliegt, und der Haken 6 in der Schlüssellochstanzung 8 eingeführt ist. Der vertikal verlaufende Schenkel des als Winkel ausgebildeten Halteelementes 5 ist hierbei mittels einer Verschraubung 5.1 und einer Kegelprägung 5.2 an der Seitenwand 2 befestigt, wobei die Kegelprägung 5.2 eine Verdrehsicherung bewirkt.To make this possible, the side walls 2 for frameless construction of the housing 1 for alignment in height (Z-orientation) or in the lateral inclination (Y-orientation) relative to the front wall 3 on pre-assembled elements 4 on the front wall. 3 and by incorporating an angle formed as holding element 5 on the side wall 2 can be fixed. As in particular in the Figures 3 . 4, 5, 6 can be seen, the assembled elements 4 are formed of hooks 6, which are fixed to the Abkantungsprofil 7 of the front wall 3. The single hook 6 on the front wall 3 cooperates with a keyhole punching 8 arranged on the fold profile of the side wall 2 in the assembled state, as shown in particular in FIGS FIGS. 7, 8 . 9 and 10 will be shown. Also, this is in the FIG. 3 to recognize in the rear view, where the holding member 5 rests with its horizontally extending leg on the upper edge region of the front wall 3, and the hook 6 is inserted in the keyhole punching 8. The vertically extending leg of the holding element 5 designed as an angle is fastened here by means of a screw connection 5.1 and a conical stamping 5.2 on the side wall 2, wherein the conical stamping 5.2 effects an anti-rotation.

Wie insbesondere aus den Figuren 5, 6, 9 und 10 zu erkennen ist, besteht der einzelne Haken 6 aus einem Kunststoffformteil, wobei dieses im Wesentlichen eine Rechteckform zur Festlegung der Seitenwand 2 aufweist. Die Rechteckform ist insbesondere in den Figuren 7 und 8 deutlich zu erkennen, wo in einer Schnittebene das Zusammenwirken des Hakens 6 mit der Schlüssellochstanzung 8 in der Seitenwand 2 ersichtlich ist. Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung legt hierbei der Haken 6 mit seinen seitlichen Anlageflächen 9 und 10 der Rechteckform die Neigung der Seitenwand 2 zur Vorderwand 3 in der Schlüssellochstanzung 8 fest. Somit wird beim Einhängen der Seitenwand 2 in die Schlüssellochstanzung 8 die justierte Lage der Seitenwand 2 vorgenommen, wobei insbesondere die Anlageflächen 8, 9 die Ausrichtung der Seitenwand 2 in der Y-Ausrichtung vornehmen. Die Höhenlage der Seitenwand 2 gegenüber der fixierten Vorderwand 3 erfolgt hierbei ausschließlich über das Halteelement 5, welches als Winkelelement derart ausgestaltet ist, dass es auf dem oberen Rand der Vorderwand 3 aufliegt, wie dies insbesondere in der Figur 3 gezeigt wird.As in particular from the FIGS. 5, 6 . 9 and 10 can be seen, the single hook 6 consists of a plastic molded part, which has a substantially rectangular shape for fixing the side wall 2. The rectangular shape is particularly in the FIGS. 7 and 8 clearly recognize where in a sectional plane, the interaction of the hook 6 with the keyhole punching 8 in the side wall 2 can be seen. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention in this case the hook 6 defines with its lateral contact surfaces 9 and 10 of the rectangular shape, the inclination of the side wall 2 to the front wall 3 in the keyhole punching 8. Thus, when mounting the side wall 2 in the keyhole punching 8, the adjusted position of the side wall 2 is made, in particular, the contact surfaces 8, 9 make the alignment of the side wall 2 in the Y-orientation. The height of the side wall 2 relative to the fixed front wall 3 takes place here exclusively on the holding element 5, which is designed as an angle element such that it rests on the upper edge of the front wall 3, as in particular in the FIG. 3 will be shown.

Um dem Haken 6 hierbei eine definierte Einbaulage zu vermitteln, weist der Haken 6 eine Anfasung 11 auf, welche zur definierten Einbaulage in einer Lochstanzung 12 an dem Abkantungsprofil 13 der Vorderwand 3 gegeben ist. Die Anfasung 11 ist hierbei insbesondere in der Figur 6 deutlich zu erkennen, wo in der Draufsicht der Haken 6 in Rückansicht gezeigt ist, wo deutlich die Anfasung 11 an dem Rechteckprofil zu erkennen ist, die wiederum in Wirkverbindung mit einer angefasten Ausstanzung in der Vorderwand 3 konform geht. Wie insbesondere aus den Figuren 4 und 5, aber auch aus der Figur 10 deutlich zu erkennen ist, ist der Haken 6 zur Festlegung in der Lochstanzung 12 an dem Abkantungsprofil 7 der Vorderwand 3 spreizdübelartig ausgebildet. Der Haken 6 besteht hierbei zur Festlegung in der Lochstanzung 12 aus zwei Rastnasen 14 und 15, die im gesteckten Zustand den Öffnungsrand der Lochstanzung 12 hintergreifen. Zwischen die Rastnasen 14 und 15 ist eine Schraube 16 eindrehbar, die insbesondere die beiden Rastnasen 14 und 15 derart aufspreizt, dass eine feste Lage des Hakens 6 in der Lochstanzung 12 gegeben ist.In order to give the hook 6 a defined installation position, the hook 6 has a chamfer 11, which is given for defined installation position in a hole punching 12 on the fold profile 13 of the front wall 3. The chamfer 11 is here in particular in the FIG. 6 clearly seen where in the plan view of the hook 6 is shown in rear view, where clearly the chamfer 11 can be seen on the rectangular profile, which in turn is in operative connection with a chamfered punched in the front wall 3 compliant. As in particular from the FIGS. 4 and 5 , but also from the FIG. 10 can be clearly seen, the hook 6 is designed to fix in the hole punching 12 at the Abkantungsprofil 7 of the front wall 3 expansion dowel-like. The hook 6 consists here for fixing in the hole punching 12 of two locking lugs 14 and 15, which engage behind the opening edge of the hole punching 12 in the inserted state. Between the locking lugs 14 and 15, a screw 16 can be screwed, which in particular spreads the two locking lugs 14 and 15 such that a fixed position of the hook 6 is given in the hole punching 12.

Wie insbesondere aus der Figur 4 in Zusammenschau mit den Figuren 9 und 10 zu erkennen ist, weist der Haken 6 zur Einfädelung an der Schlüssellochstanzung 8 am Seitenwandprofil eine Einfädelprofilierung 17 auf, wobei die Einfädelprofilierung 17 an dem Haken 6 aus einem horizontal geformten Steg 18 mit Schrägflanken 19 und 20 gebildet ist. Es versteht sich nun von selbst, dass, wenn das Halteelement 5, wie dies in den Figuren 8, 9 und 10 dargestellt ist, montiert ist und der Haken 6 an der Vorderwand 3 entsprechend vormontiert ist, dann durch Zusammenfügen das Halteelement 5 auf der Vorderwand 3 liegt, wobei die Haken 6 dann in die Seitenwand 2 eintauchen, wie dies in der Figur 1 in der Montagefolge gezeigt wird.As in particular from the FIG. 4 in conjunction with the FIGS. 9 and 10 can be seen, the hook 6 for threading on the keyhole punching 8 on the sidewall profile Einfädelprofilierung 17, wherein the Einfädelprofilierung 17 is formed on the hook 6 of a horizontally shaped web 18 with inclined edges 19 and 20. It goes without saying that when the holding element 5, as shown in the FIGS. 8 . 9 and 10 is shown mounted and the hook 6 is pre-assembled on the front wall 3, then by joining the holding element 5 is located on the front wall 3, wherein the hooks 6 then dive into the side wall 2, as shown in the FIG. 1 is shown in the assembly sequence.
