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 Gehäusebauformen für die jeweilige Oberfläche oder Montageart, was eine frühe Variantenbildung beim Gehäuseaufbau erfordert.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 housing designs for each surface or mounting style, which requires an early variant formation in the housing structure.

Aus der DE 603 13 461 T2 ist ein Gehäuse für einen Wäschetrockner bekannt, das rahmenlos aufgebaut ist. Das Gehäuse umfasst dabei drei mit dem Bodenteil fest verbundene Wände, nämlich die Rückwand und die beiden Seitenwände. Die Vorderwand ist dabei fronseitig auf das Bodenteil aufgestellt, wobei am Bodenteil befindliche Rastzapfen die Befestigung bereitstellen.From the DE 603 13 461 T2 is known a housing for a tumble dryer, which is frameless. The housing comprises three walls fixedly connected to the bottom part, namely the rear wall and the two side walls. The front wall is fronseitig placed on the bottom part, with the locking pin located on the bottom part provide the attachment.

Bei den Gehäusen müssen die von außen auf das Gerät wirkenden Lasten passend verteilt werden. Die von außen sichtbaren Spaltbilder sollen möglichst eng und gleichmäßig sein. Bei einem Sackkarreneinsatz seitlich unter die Seitenwand dürfen keine Verformungen der Seitenwand auftreten, zudem sollen die gewählten Lösungen möglichst montagefreundlich sein.For the housings, the loads acting on the device from the outside must be distributed appropriately. The visible from the outside slit images should be as narrow and uniform. In a sack truck use laterally under the side wall no deformation of the side wall may occur, also the chosen solutions should be as easy to install as possible.

Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem ein Gehäuse für ein Haushaltsgerät, wie beispielsweise einen Wäschetrockner derart weiter zu bilden, welches die geschilderten Nachteile überwindet, wobei insbesondere der Seitenwandbereich des Gehäuses die hinreichende Formstabilität aufweist, so dass ein Ausbeulen bei Einsatz einer Sackkarre von der Seite her unterbunden wird.The invention thus raises the problem of forming a housing for a domestic appliance, such as a tumble dryer, which overcomes the disadvantages described, wherein in particular the side wall portion of the housing has sufficient dimensional stability, so that bulging when using a hand truck from the side is suppressed ago.

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 darin, dass eine einfache Montage der Seitenwände gewährleistet wird, wobei von außen seitlich wirkende Kräfte beim Transport aufgenommen werden können, die in das Gehäuse weitergeleitet werden. Somit wird ein sicherer Sackkarreneinsatz von der Seite unter der Seitenwand her gewährleistet, ohne dass eine Verformung der Seitenwand erfolgen kann, wobei insbesondere von außen das sichtbare Spaltbild möglichst eng und gleichmäßig ist. Die Seitenwände bekommen ihre Höhenposition über die Auflage der Winkel auf der Vorderwand. Damit ist die Seitenwand in der Höhenposition nicht überbestimmt. Die Seitenwand liegt unten nicht auf dem Bodenmodul auf. Damit die Seitenwand an der unteren Abkantung in Y-Richtung grob geführt wird und somit nicht ausbeulen kann, greifen jeweils links und rechts zwei Zapfen des Bodenmoduls von unten durch Löcher der Seitenwand. In X-Richtung haben die Zapfen deutlich Luft zur Seitenwand. Für eine einfachere Montage der Seitenwand ans Gehäuse sind die Zapfen einseitig stark eingeschrägt, da beim Montieren die Seitenwände eher zu weit nach außen aufstehen und dann beim Montieren nach innen herangeholt werden. Die Schräge ist daher bewusst so ausgeführt, dass die Seitenwand beim Montieren (Seitenwand wird in Haken eingeführt und dann in die Haken an der Vorderwand heruntergedrückt) unten in die Zapfen des Bodenmoduls von außen nach innen zur Trommelmitte herangezogen wird. Da die Seitenwand in Y-Richtung vorne über die Vorderwand/Haken und hinten über die Rückwand geführt wird, haben die durchgestellten Löcher der Seitenwand etwas mehr Luft in Y-Richtung, um die Montage nicht zu schwierig zu gestalten, wobei zudem diese Formschlüsse auch nicht maßbestimmend für die Gehäusebreite sein sollen, sondern diese nur gegen Ausbeulen der Seitenwand bei Sackkarreneinsatz oder anderen Einflüssen bestimmt sind. Es sind zwei Zapfen je Seitenwand eingesetzt, um das Ausbeulen nachhaltig zu vermeiden.The advantages achieved by the invention are that a simple assembly of the side walls is ensured, from the outside laterally acting forces can be absorbed during transport, which are forwarded into the housing. Thus, a safe Sackkarreneinsatz is ensured from the side below the side wall, without any deformation of the side wall can take place, in particular from the outside, the visible slit image is as narrow and uniform. The side walls get their height position on the support of the angle on the front wall. Thus, the side wall in the height position is not overdetermined. The sidewall does not rest on the bottom module at the bottom. So the side wall At the bottom fold in the Y direction is coarsely guided and thus can not bulge, grab on the left and right two pins of the floor module from below through holes in the side wall. In the X direction, the pins have clear air to the side wall. For easier installation of the side wall of the housing, the pins are strongly skewed on one side, as when mounting the side walls rather too far outward and then be fetched when mounting inward. The slope is therefore deliberately designed so that the side wall during assembly (side wall is inserted into hooks and then pressed down into the hooks on the front wall) is pulled down into the pins of the floor module from outside to inside to the middle of the drum. Since the side wall in Y-direction front over the front wall / hook and back over the rear wall, the through-holes of the side wall have a little more air in the Y direction, so as not to make the installation too difficult, and also these form-fitting not Maßbestimmend should be for the case width, but they are intended only against buckling of the side wall in Sackkarreneinsatz or other influences. There are two pins per side wall used to avoid bulging sustainable.

Erfindungsgemäß wird hierzu vorgeschlagen, dass die Seitenwände zum rahmenlosen Aufbau des Gehäuses zwischen der Vorderwand und der Rückwand im oberen Bereich unter Einbindung von Blechwinkeln festgelegt sind, wobei im unteren Bereich die Seitenwände am Bodenmodul in einem unter einem Spiel gehaltenen Formschluss eingebunden sind. Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind am Bodenmodul mindestens ein oder mehrere Zapfenstege pro Seitenwand vorgesehen, auf die die untere Seitenkante der Seitenwand unter Bildung von Fügestellen steckbar ist. Die Fügestellen umfassen an der unteren Seitenkantenprofilierung der Seitenwand Lochstanzungen, die unter Bildung eines Luftspaltes die Erstreckung der Zapfenstege im angesetzten Zustand der Seitenwand einbindet. Dabei erstreckt sich in Weiterbildung die untere Seitenkantenprofilierung unter einem Luftspalt zum Bodenmodul im montierten Zustand.According to the invention it is proposed for this purpose that the side walls are fixed to the frameless construction of the housing between the front wall and the rear wall in the upper area with the involvement of sheet metal angles, wherein in the lower area, the side walls are integrated at the bottom module in a held under a match positive engagement. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least one or more pin webs are provided per side wall on the floor module, to which the lower side edge of the side wall can be plugged to form joints. The joints comprise at the lower side edge profiling of the side wall punched holes, which integrates the extension of the journal webs in the attached state of the side wall to form an air gap. In this case, in a further development, the lower side edge profiling extends under an air gap to the floor module in the mounted state.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist die Lochstanzung zur besseren Kraftübertragung bzw. besseren Montage einen nach innen gewölbten Kragenrand auf, der insbesondere den Zapfensteg umgibt. Dabei weisen die Zapfenstege zumindest an einer Seitenkante eine Anschrägung auf, was insbesondere das Montieren beim Aufsteckvorgang erleichtert. In Weiterbildung sind die Blechwinkel mit einem Schenkel an der Innenprofilierung der Seitenwand befestigt, wobei der andere Schenkel an bzw. auf der Vorderwand bzw. Rückwand befestigt ist.In a further development of the invention, the hole punching for better power transmission or better mounting on an inwardly curved collar edge, which surrounds in particular the spigot web. In this case, the pin webs on at least one side edge to a chamfer, which facilitates in particular the mounting during Aufsteckvorgang. In a further development, the sheet metal brackets are fastened with a leg on the inner profiling of the side wall, wherein the other leg is attached to or on the front wall or rear wall.

Die Figur 1 zeigt einen Teilbereich eines Gehäuses 1 für ein Haushaltsgerät, wie beispielsweise einen Wäschetrockner, wobei in der Figur 1 der untere Teilbereich im Bereich einer Seitenwand 4, 5 dargestellt ist. Das Gehäuse 1 als solches umfasst hierbei in seiner Grundbauform ein Bodenmodul 2, eine Rückwand 3, Seitenwände 4 und 5 und eine Vorderwand 6. Wie insbesondere aus der Figur 1 zu erkennen ist, ist die Seitenwand 4, 5 hierbei zwischen der Vorderwand 6 und der Rückwand 3 angebracht, wobei im unteren Bereich die Seitenwand 4, 5 unten auf dem Bodenmodul 2 aufgesetzt angebracht ist. Die Seitenwände 4, 5 sind zum rahmenlosen Aufbau des Gehäuses 1 zwischen der Vorderwand 6 und der Rückwand 3 im oberen Bereich unter Einbindung von Blechwinkeln 7, wie sie in den Figuren 2 und 3 aber auch in der Figur 6 und 7 dargestellt sind, und einer formschlüssigen Verbindung zwischen Seitenwand und Rückwand festgelegt. Dabei sind im unteren Bereich der Seitenwände 4, 5 am Bodenmodul 2 in einem unter einem Spiel gehaltenen Formschluss diese eingebunden, wie dies insbesondere aus den Figuren 1, 4, 5 und 7 hervorgeht. Am Bodenmodul 2 sind wenigstens zwei Zapfenstege 8 und 9 pro Seitenwand 4, 5 vorgesehen, auf die die untere profilierte Seitenkante 10 der Seitenwand 4, 5 unter Bildung von Fügestellen, wie diese in den Figuren 1, 4 und 5 sichtbar sind, steckbar ist.The FIG. 1 shows a portion of a housing 1 for a household appliance, such as a tumble dryer, wherein in the FIG. 1 the lower portion is shown in the region of a side wall 4, 5. The housing 1 as such in this case comprises in its basic design a floor module 2, a rear wall 3, side walls 4 and 5 and a front wall 6. As in particular from FIG. 1 can be seen, the side wall 4, 5 is in this case mounted between the front wall 6 and the rear wall 3, wherein in the lower region, the side wall 4, 5 mounted bottom of the bottom module 2 is attached. The side walls 4, 5 are for frameless construction of the housing 1 between the front wall 6 and the rear wall 3 in the upper area with the inclusion of sheet metal angles 7, as shown in the FIGS. 2 and 3 but also in the FIGS. 6 and 7 are shown, and a positive connection between the side wall and rear wall set. Here, in the lower region of the side walls 4, 5 on the floor module 2 in a form-fit held under a play, these are integrated, as can be seen in particular from FIGS FIGS. 1 . 4 . 5 and 7 evident. At the bottom module 2 at least two pin webs 8 and 9 per side wall 4, 5 are provided, to which the lower profiled side edge 10 of the side wall 4, 5 to form joints, as in the FIGS. 1 . 4 and 5 are visible, pluggable.

Die Fügestellen umfassen an der unteren Seitenkantenprofilierung 10 der Seitenwand 4, 5 Lochstanzungen 11, die unter Bildung eines Luftspaltes 12 die Erstreckung der Zapfenstege 8 und 9 im angesetzten Zustand der Seitenwand 4, 5 einbinden. Diese Situation ist insbesondere deutlich in der Figur 4 zu erkennen, wo durch die Lochstanzung 11 der Zapfensteg 8, 9 spielbehaftet hindurchragt. Dabei erstreckt sich die untere Seitenkantenprofilierung 10 unter einem horizontalen Luftspalt 13 zum Bodenmodul 2 im montierten Zustand der Seitenwand 4, 5, wie dies insbesondere aus den Figuren 5 und 7 deutlich zu erkennen ist. Die Lochstanzung 11 als solches weist hierbei einen nach innen gewölbten Kragenrand 14 auf, so dass sich eine Art trichterförmige Umrandung für ein einfaches Ansetzen der Seitenwand 4, 5 am Bodenmodul 2 ergibt. In Weiterbildung weisen die Zapfenstege 8 und 9 zumindest an einer Seitenkante eine Anschrägung 15 auf, wie dies deutlich in der Figur 7 zu erkennen ist. Die Einbindung der Seitenwand 4, 5 mittels Blechwinkel 7 ist insbesondere in den Figuren 2 und 3 aber auch in den Figuren 6 und 7 dargestellt, wobei diese mit einem Schenkel 16 an der Innenprofilierung der Seitenwand 4, 5 befestigt sind, wobei der andere Schenkel 17 an bzw. auf der Vorderwand 6 bzw. der Rückwand 7 befestigt ist.The joints comprise at the lower side edge profiling 10 of the side wall 4, 5 hole punches 11, which integrate the extension of the pin webs 8 and 9 in the attached state of the side wall 4, 5 forming an air gap 12. This situation is particularly evident in the FIG. 4 to recognize where through the hole punching 11 of the pin web 8, 9 protrudes play. In this case, the lower side edge profiling 10 extends under a horizontal air gap 13 to the bottom module 2 in the assembled state of the side wall 4, 5, as shown in particular from Figures 5 and 7 is clearly visible. The hole punching 11 as this has an inwardly curved collar edge 14, so that a kind of funnel-shaped border for easy attachment of the side wall 4, 5 results in the bottom module 2. In a further development, the pin webs 8 and 9 at least on one side edge to a chamfer 15, as clearly in the FIG. 7 can be seen. The integration of the side wall 4, 5 by means of sheet metal angle 7 is particularly in the FIGS. 2 and 3 but also in the FIGS. 6 and 7 shown, which are secured with a leg 16 on the inner profile of the side wall 4, 5, wherein the other leg 17 is attached to or on the front wall 6 and the rear wall 7.

Es versteht sich nun von selbst, dass bei der Montage der Seitenwand 4, 5, wie dies in der Figur 8 veranschaulicht wird, die Seitenwand 4, 5 bei vormontierter Vorderwand 6 diese erst vorne in Haken 18 an der Vorderwand 6 eingefädelt und dann heruntergedrückt werden, wobei die Lochstanzungen 11 in den Seitenwänden 4, 5 dann auch die Zapfenstege 8 und 9 vom Bodenmodul 2 treffen müssen. Die Seitenwand 4, 5 wird dann oben mit den Blechwinkeln 7 entsprechend unter Verschraubung festgelegt.It goes without saying that when mounting the side wall 4, 5, as in the FIG. 8 is illustrated, the side wall 4, 5 with preassembled front wall 6, these are first threaded into the front hooks 18 on the front wall 6 and then pressed down, the punch holes 11 in the side walls 4, 5 then the pin webs 8 and 9 must meet from the bottom module 2 , The side wall 4, 5 is then set at the top with the plate brackets 7 according to screwing.
