Description

Verbindungsbausatz für HaushaltsgeräteConnection kit for household appliances

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Verbindungsbausatz für Haushaltsgeräte, mit dem beispielsweise ein Wäschetrockner auf einer Waschmaschine montiert werden kann, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a connection kit for household appliances, with which, for example, a tumble dryer can be mounted on a washing machine, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein Wäschetrockner und eine Waschmaschine werden zur platzsparenden Anordnung häufig übereinander angeordnet, das heißt der Wäschetrockner wird auf der Waschmaschine platziert. Für die Fixierung der Waschmaschine auf dem Wäschetrockner gibt es Verbindungsbausätze.A tumble dryer and a washing machine are often arranged one above the other to save space, ie the tumble dryer is placed on top of the washing machine. There are connection kits for fixing the washing machine on the tumble dryer.

Die Verbindungsbausätze werden meistens in Einzelteilen geliefert und werden vom Kunden selbst zusammengefügt und montiert.The connection kits are usually delivered in individual parts and are assembled and assembled by the customer himself.

Bei bekannten Verbindungsbausätzen werden einzelne Wandungselemente auf Stoß zusammengefügt. Bei dieser Fügung ist die exakte Ausrichtung der Wandungselemente zueinander problematisch. Auch kann durch die Fügeverbindung bei der Wäschebehandlung empfindlich zu vermeidender, unhygienischer Schmutz durch den Spalt in das Innere der Verbindungsanordnung gelangen, welche dann unästhetisch anzusehen ist.In the case of known connection kits, individual wall elements are butt-joined together. With this joining, the exact alignment of the wall elements to one another is problematic. Also, due to the joint connection, unhygienic dirt, which is to be avoided when treating the laundry, can get through the gap into the interior of the connection arrangement, which is then unaesthetic to look at.

In bestimmten Situationen kann es bei dieser Fügung auch zu einer Spaltbildung zwischen den einzelnen Wandungselementen kommen, welche unästhetisch anzusehen ist.In certain situations, this joining can also lead to the formation of a gap between the individual wall elements, which is unaesthetic to look at.

Die DE 10 2005 026134 A1 , KR 100 866 461 B1 , US 2007/151120 A1 , DE 91 01 782 U1 und die DE 203 02 572 U1 beschreiben gattungsgemäße Verbindungsbausätze. KR 100 866 461 B1 offenbart einen Verbindungsbausatz gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.the DE 10 2005 026134 A1 , KR 100 866 461 B1 , U.S. 2007/151120 A1 , DE 91 01 782 U1 and the DE 203 02 572 U1 describe generic connection kits. KR 100 866 461 B1 discloses a connection kit according to the preamble of claim 1.

Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem die genannten Nachteile zu vermeiden. Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem durch einen Verbindungsbausatz für Haushaltsgeräte mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.The invention therefore addresses the problem of avoiding the disadvantages mentioned. According to the invention, this problem is solved by a connection kit for household appliances with the features of claim 1. Advantageous refinements and developments of the invention result from the following dependent claims.

Der erfindungsgemäße Verbindungsbausatz für Haushaltsgeräte, mit dem beispielsweise ein Wäschetrockner auf einer Waschmaschine montiert werden kann, umfasst mehrere Wandungselemente, welche miteinander zu einem Rahmen verbindbar sind. Zumindest ein Wandungselement weist zumindest einen stegartigen Vorsprung auf und zumindest ein anderes Wandungselement weist zumindest eine rinnenartige Vertiefung auf. Der stegartige Vorsprung und die rinnenartige Vertiefung sind derart an den Wandungselementen angeordnet, dass sie miteinander in Eingriff gebracht werden können.The connection kit for household appliances according to the invention, with which a tumble dryer can be mounted on a washing machine, for example, comprises a plurality of wall elements which can be connected to one another to form a frame. At least one wall element has at least one web-like projection and at least one other wall element has at least one channel-like depression. The web-like projection and the channel-like depression are arranged on the wall elements in such a way that they can be brought into engagement with one another.

Dadurch dass der stegartige Vorsprung und die rinnenartige Vertiefung derart an den Wandungselementen angeordnet sind, dass sie miteinander in Eingriff gebracht werden können, wird u.a. der Vorteil erreicht, dass die Verbindung der Wandungselemente an Stabilität gewinnt.Due to the fact that the web-like projection and the channel-like depression are arranged on the wall elements in such a way that they can be brought into engagement with one another, the advantage is achieved, among other things, that the connection of the wall elements gains in stability.

Des Weiteren kann durch die Eingriffverbindung und entsprechende Positionierung von stegartigem Vorsprung und rinnenartiger Vertiefung eine Positionierhilfe bereitgestellt werden, um die Wandungselemente exakt und bündig aneinander auszurichten, sodass ein geschlossenes Erscheinungsbild entsteht. Darüber hinaus wird durch die erfindungsgemäße Eingriffverbindung ein Einblick in einen eventuell entstehenden Verbindungsspalt unterbunden.Furthermore, through the engagement connection and corresponding positioning of the web-like projection and channel-like depression, a positioning aid can be provided in order to align the wall elements exactly and flush with one another, so that a closed appearance is created. In addition, the engagement connection according to the invention prevents a view into a connection gap that may arise.

Nicht zuletzt stellt ein Verbindungsspalt zwischen den Wandungselementen auch eine Sammelstelle oder eine Durchtrittsmöglichkeit für Schmutz und Keime dar, welche bei der Wäschebehandlung unbedingt vermieden werden sollte. Der in die rinnenartige Vertiefung eingreifende stegartige Vorsprung bildet auch einen Spaltverschluss zur Vermeidung eine Schmutz- und/oder Keimdurchtrittes.Last but not least, a connecting gap between the wall elements also represents a collection point or an opportunity for dirt and germs to pass through, which should be avoided at all costs when treating the laundry. The web-like projection engaging in the channel-like depression also forms a gap seal to prevent dirt and/or germs from getting through.

Wenn die Seitenwände der rinnenartigen Vertiefung zur Führung des stegartigen Vorsprungs einen konischen Verlauf aufweisen, dann bietet die rinnenartige Vertiefung bei Annäherung des stegartigen Vorsprungs eine Einführhilfe, welche den stegartigen Vorsprung bei weiterer Einführung zentrierend fixiert.If the side walls of the groove-like depression for guiding the web-like projection have a conical shape, then the groove-like depression offers an insertion aid when the web-like projection approaches, which fixes the web-like projection in a centering manner as it is inserted further.

Wenn der stegartige Vorsprung durch die verformte Außenhülle des Wandungselementes gebildet ist, dann lässt sich der stegartige Vorsprung bei der Herstellung des Formteils einfach erzeugen.If the web-like projection is formed by the deformed outer shell of the wall element, then the web-like projection can be easily produced during production of the molded part.

Wenn der stegartige Vorsprung durch einen vollvolumigen Körper am Wandungselement gebildet ist, dann bietet dieser eine besondere Stabilität.If the web-like projection is formed by a full-volume body on the wall element, then this offers particular stability.

Wenn die rinnenartige Vertiefung durch Verformung der Außenhülle des Wandungselementes gebildet ist, dann lässt sich der stegartige Vorsprung bei der Herstellung des Formteils einfach erzeugen.If the groove-like depression is formed by deforming the outer shell of the wall element, then the web-like projection can be easily produced during production of the molded part.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in den Zeichnungen rein schematisch dargestellt und wird nachfolgend näher beschrieben. Es zeigt

Figur 1
eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Verbindungsbausatzes mit Spaltverschluss
Figur 2
die Anordnung des Spaltverschlusses im Querschnitt
An embodiment of the invention is shown purely schematically in the drawings and is described in more detail below. It shows
figure 1
a perspective view of a connection kit with gap closure
figure 2
the arrangement of the gap closure in cross section

Fig. 1 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Verbindungsbausatzes 1 mit Spaltverschluss. Der Verbindungsbausatz 1 enthält hier eine Schublade 2, welche mit einem Push-to-open-Mechanismus ausgestattet ist. Der Platz zwischen Trockner und Waschmaschine ist hier mit der Schublade 2 nutzbar. 1 shows a perspective view of a connection kit 1 with gap closure. The connection kit 1 contains a drawer 2 here, which is equipped with a push-to-open mechanism. The space between the dryer and washing machine can be used here with drawer 2.

Für die Funktion des Push-to-open Mechanismus muss die Schublade 2 im geschlossenen Zustand durch einen Spalt 3, hier ca. 4mm breit, vom Korpus beabstandet sein, damit sie sich durch einen initialen Druck öffnen lässt.For the function of the push-to-open mechanism, the drawer 2 must be spaced from the body by a gap 3, here approx. 4 mm wide, in the closed state so that it can be opened by an initial pressure.

Figur 2 zeigt diesen notwendigen Auslösespalt 3 zwischen den zwei Wandungselementen 4, 5, wovon hier eines durch die Schubladenfront 5 gebildet wird. Bei Auslösedruck auf die Schubladenfront 5 wird der Auslösespalt 3 zunächst verringert, um danach die Schublade freizugeben und auszuziehen. figure 2 shows this necessary release gap 3 between the two wall elements 4, 5, one of which is formed by the drawer front 5 here. With release pressure on the drawer front 5, the release gap 3 is first reduced in order to then release and pull out the drawer.

Am Wandungselement 4 ist hier ein stegartiger Vorsprung 6 angeordnet. Dieser hier im Querschnitt gezeigte stegartige Vorsprung 6 erstreckt sich über die gesamte Höhe des Wandungselementes 4.A web-like projection 6 is arranged on the wall element 4 here. This web-like projection 6, shown here in cross section, extends over the entire height of the wall element 4.

Die Schubladenfront 5 weist an ihrer Rückseite hier eine rinnenartige Vertiefung 7 auf, welche sich ebenfalls über die gesamte Höhe der Schubladenfront 5 erstreckt.The drawer front 5 has a channel-like depression 7 on its rear side, which likewise extends over the entire height of the drawer front 5 .

Im geschlossenen Zustand der Schublade 2, greift der stegartige Vorsprung 6 teilweise in die rinnenartige Vertiefung 7 ein. Dadurch bleibt einerseits der zur Auslösung des Push-to-open-Mechanismus nötige Spalt erhalten und andererseits ist der Auslösespalt 3 von der Seite her betrachtet blickdicht verschlossen.When the drawer 2 is closed, the web-like projection 6 partially engages in the channel-like depression 7 . As a result, on the one hand, the gap required to trigger the push-to-open mechanism is retained and, on the other hand, the triggering gap 3 is opaquely closed when viewed from the side.

Durch die eingreifende Verbindung von stegartigem Vorsprung 6 und rinnenartiger Vertiefung 7 und somit von Wandungselement 4 mit Schubladenfront 5 erfolgt weiterhin eine Stabilisierung und eine Führung der Verbindung.The engaging connection of the web-like projection 6 and the channel-like depression 7 and thus of the wall element 4 with the drawer front 5 continues to stabilize and guide the connection.

Des Weiteren wird der Auslösespalt 3 dadurch gegen Eintreten von Schmutz und Keimen in die Schublade gesichert.Furthermore, the release gap 3 is thus secured against the ingress of dirt and germs into the drawer.
