Description
Gehäuse für Haushaltsgeräte, wie beispielsweise einen Wäschetrockner, eine Waschmaschine oder dergleichen.Housing for household appliances, such as a tumble dryer, a washing machine or the like.
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gehäuse für Haushaltsgeräte, wie beispielsweise Wäschetrockner, Waschmaschinen oder dergleichen, welches in seiner Grundbauform eine Vorderwand sowie mittels Traverse verbundene Seitenwände und eine Rückwand umfasst, wobei zum Aufbau eines rahmenlosen Gehäuses die Traverse auf Abkantungen an den Seitenwänden zur Vorgabe der Gesamtbreite des Gehäuses aufliegt, wobei die Traverse mit den Abkantungen an den Seitenwänden unter Formschluss verbunden ist zur Bildung einer Winkelstabilität zwischen den das Gehäuse umfassenden Wänden.The invention relates to a housing for household appliances, such as dryers, washing machines or the like, which includes in its basic design a front wall and connected by cross member side walls and a rear wall, wherein the construction of a frameless housing, the traverse on bends on the side walls to specify the total width of Housing rests, wherein the traverse is connected to the folds on the side walls under positive engagement to form an angular stability between the walls comprising the housing.

Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem ein Gehäuse für Haushaltsgeräte, wie beispielsweise einen Wäschetrockner, eine Waschmaschine oder einen Geschirrspüler, derart weiter zu bilden, welches einerseits die geschilderten Nachteile überwindet, wobei andererseits das Gehäuse ohne einen eigenständigen Innenrahmen gefertigt werden soll.The invention thus raises the problem of a housing for household appliances, such as a tumble dryer, a washing machine or a dishwasher to continue to form, which on the one hand overcomes the disadvantages, on the other hand, the housing should be made without a separate inner frame.
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 das erfindungsgemäße Gehäuse ohne einen eigenständigen Innenrahmen gefertigt werden kann. Die von außen wirkenden Lasten auf das Gerät werden dabei passend verteilt, wobei die von außen sichtbaren Spaltbilder möglichst eng und gleichmäßig ausgebildet sind. Ein besonderer Vorteil ist, dass der gewählte Aufbau zudem sehr montagefreundlich ausfällt. Dabei ist von besonderer Bedeutung, dass die Montage/Demontage der Seitenwände, der Traverse und der Führung für den Behälter gewährleistet ist, wobei eine definierte Aufhängung und fixierende Ausrichtung der freitragenden Seitenwände zu der Vorderwand und der Rückwand gegeben ist. Entsprechend erfüllt auch eine definierte Lage der Führung für den Behälter in dem Gerät diese Aufgabe. Eine Verletzungsgefahr des Kunden bei evtl. Säubern der Führung durch Hineingreifen in die Führung wird dadurch verhindert, weil durch die Verbindung der beiden Seitenwände mittels der Traverse eine definierte Montage und Endlage-Position der Führung geschaffen wird. Dabei werden bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Gehäuse von außen seitlich wirkende Lasten, wie beispielsweise beim Transport, aufgenommen und in das Gerät über die Traverse weitergeleitet. Die Führung für den Kondensatbehälter wird hinten in der Rückwand fixiert, wodurch eine feste Y-Ausrichtung und Z-Ausrichtung hinten erfolgt. Vorne wird die Führung auf der Vorderwand aufgelegt, so dass vorne eine feste Z-Ausrichtung gegeben ist. Die Traverse wird von oben über die Seitenwände aufgelegt. Eine grobe Y-Ausrichtung ist dabei über die an den Seitewänden vorgesehenen Abkantungen rechts und links gegeben. Für die grobe X-Ausrichtung der Traverse zu den Seitenwänden greift jeweils links und rechts eine Sicke der Traverse in eine entsprechend große Sicke der Seitenwand. Dann wird die Traverse in Y-Richtung genau ausgerichtet und mit den beiden Seitenwänden verschraubt. Dadurch erhält das erstellte erfindungsgemäße Gehäuse, bestehend aus Vorderwand, Seitenwand, Rückwand und Traverse insbesondere im Traversenbereich eine deutliche Winkelstabilität bzw. Gehäusesteifigkeit. Damit der Wasserbehälter nicht beschädigt wird und der Kunde beim evtl. Säubern der Führung unter anderem bei herausgezogenem Wasserbehälter durch Schraubenspitzen gefährdet ist, ist an der Traverse ein Kragenrand vorgesehen, der dafür sorgt, dass die Schraube bzw. Schrauben nicht zu tief in den Bereich der Führung eintauchen. Bei Auflegen der Traverse greift ein Zapfen der Führung in ein Lochbild der Traverse. Dadurch wird die X-Ausrichtung und die Y-Ausrichtung der Führung vorne definiert. Hierbei sichert insbesondere eine Schraube diese Position.The advantages achieved by the invention are that the housing according to the invention can be manufactured without a separate inner frame. The externally acting loads on the device are distributed appropriately, the externally visible slit images are formed as narrow and uniform. A particular advantage is that the chosen structure also fails very easy to install. It is of particular importance that the assembly / disassembly of the side walls, the traverse and the guide is ensured for the container, with a defined suspension and fixing orientation of the cantilevered side walls is given to the front wall and the rear wall. Accordingly, a defined position of the guide for the container in the device fulfills this task. A risk of injury to the customer in possibly cleaning the guide by reaching into the guide is prevented because a defined assembly and end position of the guide is created by the connection of the two side walls by means of the crossbar. In the case of the housing according to the invention, laterally acting loads, such as during transport, are picked up and forwarded into the device via the traverse. The condensate tray guide is fixed at the back of the rear panel, which provides a fixed Y-orientation and Z-orientation at the rear. At the front, the guide is placed on the front wall so that there is a fixed Z-alignment in front. The traverse is placed from above over the side walls. A rough Y-orientation is given by the provided on the side walls bends left and right. For the coarse X-alignment of the traverse to the side walls, a bead of the traverse engages left and right in a correspondingly large bead of the side wall. Then the traverse is precisely aligned in the Y direction and bolted to the two side walls. As a result, the created housing according to the invention, consisting of front wall, side wall, rear wall and traverse, in particular in the truss area receives a clear angular stability or housing rigidity. So that the water tank is not damaged and the customer is possibly endangered by screw tips when possibly cleaning the guide, inter alia when the water tank is pulled out, a collar edge is provided on the traverse, which ensures that the screw or screws are not too deep in the area Immerse leadership. When placing the traverse, a pin of the guide engages in a hole pattern of the traverse. This defines the X-orientation and Y-orientation of the guide at the front. In particular, a screw secures this position.
Erfindungsgemäß wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Traverse an den freien Enden zur Formschlussbildung mit den Abkantungsbereichen der Seitenwände eine Profilierung umfasst, welche Schraubverbindungen und eine Sickenverbindung aufweisen. Dabei sind an den freien Enden jeweils wenigstens zwei Schraubverbindungen vorgesehen, wobei zwischen den Schraubverbindungen die Sickenverbindung und Profilierungen an der Traverse angeordnet sind. Die Sickenverbindung, die die Schraubverbindungen im Formschluss hierbei unterstützt, erhält insbesondere durch die Profilierung an der Traverse ihre Steifigkeit, die sich über die Erstreckung der Traverse ausrichtet.According to the invention, it is proposed that the traverse comprises a profiling at the free ends for form-locking formation with the fold regions of the side walls, which screw connections and a bead connection have. In each case, at least two screw connections are provided at the free ends, wherein the bead connection and profilings are arranged on the cross member between the screw connections. The bead connection which supports the screw connections in positive engagement, receives in particular by the profiling on the traverse their rigidity, which is aligned over the extension of the traverse.
Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung umfasst der Sickenverbund ineinander greifende Bogenabschnitte an der Traverse und der Abkantung, wobei der Bogenabschnitt an der Traverse etwas kleiner als der Bogenabschnitt an der Abkantung ausgebildet ist. Dadurch ergibt sich ein Passsitz im Formschluss der Sickenverbindung. In Weiterbildung der Profilierung an der Traverse ist diese an den freien Enden der Traverse im Wesentlichen H-förmig ausgebildet.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the bead assembly comprises interlocking arc sections on the traverse and the fold, wherein the arc section is formed on the traverse slightly smaller than the arc section at the fold. This results in a snug fit in the positive connection of the bead connection. In a further development of the profiling on the traverse, this is formed at the free ends of the traverse substantially H-shaped.
In zweckmäßiger Weise umfassen die Schraubverbindungen wenigstens eine Schraubverbindung, die die Eindringtiefe in den Abkantungsbereich der Seitenwand begrenzt. Dabei weist zur Begrenzung der Eindringtiefe die zur Vorderwand weisende Schraubverbindung einen an der Traverse vorgesehenen Kragenrand um die Öffnung auf. Aufgrund dieser Ausbildung wird erreicht, dass die Schraubenspitze im vorderen Bereich der Führung nicht so tief in den Führungsraum eindringt, so dass bei Eingriff mit der Hand in den Führungsraum Verletzungen unterbunden werden. In Weiterbildung umfasst die Formschlussverbindung von Traverse und Führung eine Zapfen-Loch-Verbindung sowie eine Schraubverbindung. Um die Formschlussverbindung zwischen der Traverse und der Führung herzustellen, erfolgt diese mittels einer Zapfen-Loch-Verbindung, wobei dies eine montagefreundliche Art zum Ansetzen der Führung an die montierte Traverse ermöglicht. Dabei wird zunächst die Führung im hinteren Bereich der Rückwand eingesteckt, wobei dann im vorderen Bereich infolge der Zapfen-Loch-Verbindung diese einfach in die vormontierte Traverse gedrückt wird, wobei dann durch eine Schraubverbindung diese dann endgültig festgelegt wird. Im vorderen Bereich liegt hierbei die Führung lediglich auf der Vorderwand auf.Conveniently, the screw connections comprise at least one screw connection which limits the penetration depth into the fold region of the side wall. In this case, to limit the penetration depth, the screw connection facing the front wall has a collar edge provided on the crosspiece about the opening. Due to this design it is achieved that the screw tip in the front region of the guide does not penetrate so deeply into the guide space, so that injuries are prevented on engagement with the hand in the guide space. In a further development, the form-locking connection of traverse and guide comprises a pin-hole connection and a screw connection. To make the form-fitting connection between the traverse and the guide, this is done by means of a pin-hole connection, which allows a mounting-friendly way to attach the guide to the mounted crosshead. Initially, the guide is inserted in the rear region of the rear wall, in which case in the front region as a result of the pin-hole connection this is simply pressed into the preassembled cross member, which is then finally determined by a screw connection. In the front area here is the guide only on the front wall.
