Durch die montierten Winkelelemente an den Seitenwänden wird die Höhenlage der Seitenwand an der Vorderwand exakt definiert. In Weiterbildung des Gehäuses sind die Seitenwände im oberen Bereich des Gehäuses mit der Traverse verbunden. Die montierte Traverse verleiht dabei dem Gehäuse in vorteilhafter Weise die hinreichende Steifigkeit. An der Traverse wird die sich zwischen Vorderwand und Rückwand erstreckende Führung für den Kondensatbehälter fixiert.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the holder for fixed height position of the side walls of angle elements which are fixed to the side wall and rest in the mounted state on the upper front wall edge. The mounted angle elements on the side walls, the altitude of the side wall is defined exactly on the front wall. In development of the housing, the side walls in the upper region of the housing are connected to the crossbar. The assembled Traverse gives the case advantageously the sufficient rigidity. On the traverse the extending between front wall and rear wall guide for the condensate tank is fixed.
Die freitragenden Seitenwände sind an der Rückwand mittels Schraubverbindungen zur Ausrichtung in der Höhe und in der Breite festgelegt. Dabei wirkt die Schraubverbindung an der Rückwand mit einer Napf-in-Loch Formschlussverbindung zusammen, so dass dadurch auch an der Rückwand die exakte Z- und Y - Ausrichtung des hinteren Bereichs der Seitenwände gegeben ist, wenn die Verschraubung erfolgt. Das Rückwandmodul erhält dabei seine fixierte Z-Lage durch das Bodenmodul.The self-supporting side walls are fixed to the rear wall by means of screw connections for alignment in height and width. The screw connection on the rear wall cooperates with a cup-in-hole form-fitting connection, so that the exact Z and Y orientation of the rear region of the side walls is thereby also given on the rear wall when the screwing takes place. The rear wall module receives its fixed Z-position through the floor module.
Das Problem wird ebenfalls auch durch ein Verfahren zur Herrichtung eines Gehäuses für Haushaltsgeräte gelöst, wie beispielsweise einen Wäschetrockner, eine Waschmaschine oder dergleichen, welches in seiner Grundbauform ein Bodenmodul, eine Vorderwand sowie Seitenwände und eine Rückwand umfasst. Gemäß der Erfindung wird zum Aufbau eines rahmenlosen Gehäuses in einem ersten Schritt die Vorderwand in einer Fixlage am Bodenmodul befestigt, wobei in einem zweiten Schritt die Rückwand an das Bodenmodul angesetzt wird. Danach werden in einem dritten Schritt die Seitenwände unter einer Spaltbildung zum Bodenmodul in einer definierten Aufhängung an der Vorderwand und dann an der Rückwand freitragend festgelegt. In einem vierten Schritt werden die Seitenwände mit einer Traverse verbunden. Aufgrund dieser Ausbildung ist eine montagefreundliche Bauart eines rahmenlosen Gehäuses gegeben, welches neben der Montagefreundlichkeit für gegebene Fälle auch eine Demontagefreundlichkeit vorgibt.The problem is also solved by a method for preparing a housing for household appliances, such as a tumble dryer, a washing machine or the like, which in its basic design comprises a floor module, a front wall and side walls and a rear wall. According to the invention, in order to build up a frameless housing, the front wall is fastened in a fixed position to the floor module in a first step, wherein in a second step the rear wall is attached to the floor module. Thereafter, in a third step, the side walls under a gap formation to the floor module in a defined suspension on the front wall and then set cantilevered on the rear wall. In a fourth step, the side walls are connected to a crossbeam.
