Definitions
- Overflow protection device water guide element and method for
- the invention relates to a water-conducting household appliance, in particular for the care of laundry, with a arranged at a bottom of the household appliance collecting device for water leakage and with at least one Wasserleitelement which catches from above the Wasserleitelements on this down running water and forwards into the collection device for water leakage.
- the invention also relates to a water guide for installation in an overflow protection device in a household appliance and a method for manufacturing a household appliance.
- Overflow protection devices for household appliances, especially for washing machines, are already state of the art.
- the interest in the present case is directed in particular to an overflow protection device, as described in the document DE 10 2006 047 951 A1.
- a collecting tank is arranged here, which serves for collecting of leakage water in the household appliance.
- a water-conducting element is provided, which is designed to collect water that drips or runs down from above this element onto the same element. This water guide then directs the water into the reservoir.
- a float is also arranged, which is formed depending on the water level in the collecting tank for making electrical contact with a switch. If the switch is actuated, a shut-off valve in a fresh water supply line is switched to its closed position - the overflow is prevented.
- Such an overflow protection device is also known by the term "aquastopp".
- Leakage can occur in a washing machine, for example, when a fault in the controller and / or a mechanical failure occurs, are leaking parts of the home appliance.
- leaks in a water supply system or leaks in connections of flexible water pipes to hard connecting pieces of water-bearing containers or from connections of sensors or actuators to the tub or leaks lead to the occurrence of leaking water at the water-carrying containers within the household appliance.
- leaks on the device housing itself can lead to leak water leakage, which occur mainly on the front outside of the household appliance in appearance. Such leaks can occur, for example, on rubber sleeves which connects the charging opening in the device housing with an opening of the tub behind it.
- water leaks from a front wall opening for a Waschstoffein Whyschale the home appliance can lead to leaking water.
- a further overflow protection device can be taken from the document DE 10 2006 047 952 A1 as known.
- the leak water is collected by means of a water guide and passed to the reservoir.
- the water guide element is produced by injection molding and is thus designed as an injection molded part.
- this type of production of the water guide has proved to be disadvantageous.
- the relatively expensive PP plastic is needed for injection molding.
- the manufacturing process is relatively expensive, namely in particular costly and time consuming.
- Another disadvantage lies here in the relatively large thickness of the water guide element, which proves to be disadvantageous in particular for the transport of larger quantities of Wasserleitelements because a single water guide thereby takes up a relatively large amount of space and is also relatively heavy.
- This object is achieved by a household appliance, by a water guide and by a method with the features according to the respective independent claims.
- Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims, the description and the figures.
- a water-conducting household appliance is designed in particular for the care of laundry items.
- the household appliance has a collecting device for leakage water, which is arranged on a floor of the household appliance.
- the collecting device can be designed, for example, in the form of a basin.
- the domestic appliance further comprises at least one water-conducting element, which collects water running down from above the water-conducting element onto the same and drips it into the collecting device for leaking water.
- the at least one water-conducting element is formed from a thermoplastic material by thermoforming.
- thermoforming can be carried out using thermoplastic materials which are significantly more economical than the PP plastic, for example, so that overall costs can be saved in the production of the household appliance.
- thermoforming a very compact and in particular limited in its thickness water guide can be provided, which requires very little space and is particularly reduced in weight.
- this proves to be advantageous when used in the household appliance itself;
- this is also advantageous for the transport of a larger number of water guide elements.
- the invention is based on the finding that the per se known manufacturing process "thermoforming", which is usually used for packaging for food, can be applied particularly advantageously to components of a household appliance, namely to a very specific component, namely the water guide.
- the water-conducting element can be arranged, for example, in the region of a side wall of a housing of the household appliance, in particular directly adjacent to the side wall.
- the water guide can be made flat or slightly curved and arranged at an angle to the bottom of the household appliance, so that dripping or running down this leak can be passed directly into the collecting device, which is preferably located next to and below the water guide and approximately in the middle is arranged on the ground.
- At least two such water guide elements in particular also three water guide elements, can be used.
- a first water guide element may be arranged directly adjacent to a first side wall of the housing;
- a second water guide may be disposed immediately adjacent to a second side wall of the housing;
- a third water-conducting element can be arranged, for example, in the region of a front wall, in particular directly adjacent thereto.
- the thermoforming can be carried out "off the roll", so that in the manufacturing process, the film is thermoformed to form the water guide element of predetermined geometry or shape.
- the film can be guided by a roller at the so-called film web edge
- Cold foil is heated in a warm-up station and then fed to a tool station, in which the finished contour of the foil is already predetermined, then the foil can be cooled, for example on a water-cooled wall of an aluminum forming tool
- such a foil also has the advantage that it has a very small thickness, so that on the one hand it requires relatively little installation space and on the other hand it also reduces the amount of raw material used to a minimum.
- the film has a thickness less than 1, 5 mm.
- the thickness of the film may, for example, be in a value range from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm, preferably in a value range from 0.7 mm to 1.3 mm.
- a thickness of Called 1 mm With such a thickness of the film, the water-conducting element can be produced "without much effort""off the roll.” The small thickness also reduces the total weight of the water-conducting element.
- the water-conducting element can also be designed in the form of a plate with a thickness greater than or equal to 1.5 mm. This means that in the manufacturing process, the water guide is formed by thermoforming a plate. Thus, while maintaining the advantages with regard to the production of the water-conducting element, an increased robustness of this water-conducting element can additionally be made possible.
- the water guide can be formed for example by thermoforming of the PVC plastic.
- PVC plastics have the particular advantage that they can be purchased relatively inexpensively compared to PP plastic.
- the at least one water guide is integrally formed. As a result, a quick and cost-effective production can be made possible and a low-cost installation and replacement in or out of the household appliance can be ensured.
- the household appliance is a washing machine.
- the invention also relates to a water guide for installation in an overflow protection device in a water-conducting household appliance, wherein the water guide is adapted to catch from above the water guide on the same down running water and forward it to a collecting device for water leakage, and wherein the water guide of a thermoplastic material Thermoforming is formed.
- An inventive method is used to produce a water-conducting household appliance by providing a collecting device for leakage water, which is arranged at a bottom of the household appliance, and providing at least one Wasserleitelements which for collecting water, which runs down to the water guide element, and for forwarding the water in the collection device for leaking water is trained.
- the at least one water-conducting element is produced by thermoforming a thermoplastic material.
- FIG. 1 in a schematic and perspective representation subcomponents of a
- FIGS. 2-4 show, in schematic representation, a respective water-conducting element of the
- the household appliance 1 has a device housing 2 which, on the one hand, has a first side wall 3 and, on the other hand, a second side wall 4. In a conventional manner, the side walls 3, 4 extend parallel to each other and perpendicular to a bottom 5 of the device housing 2.
- a tub 6 is arranged, on which an electric motor 7 is held for driving a washing drum arranged in the tub 6.
- the laundry drum can be rotatably mounted about a horizontally extending axis of rotation.
- the laundry drum is coupled via a belt 8 to the electric motor 7.
- the tub 6 is supported by damper legs 9 on the bottom 5, namely on the side of the first side wall 3 via a single damper leg 9 and on the opposite side of the second side wall 4 via two such damper legs.
- an overflow protection device 10 is arranged at the bottom 5 of the device housing 2.
- a collecting device 1 1 is arranged for leak water, which may be formed for example by a depression in the bottom 5 itself and therefore forms a kind of reservoir.
- the collecting device 1 1 may be formed on the bottom surface 12 a not shown in FIG. 1 Positioning structure, which is designed to receive a float, also not shown. This float is then placed on this positioning structure, so that this float depending on the water level in the collecting device 1 1 only vertically move up and down, but can not be moved in a horizontal plane substantially. If the water level in the collecting device 1 1 exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the float actuates an electrical switch, which then actuates a shut-off valve due to this operation, which is moved into a closed position due to control signals of the switch, in which a fresh water supply line of the household appliance. 1 is blocked. Flooding is thus prevented.
- a first water guide element 13 is disposed immediately adjacent to the first side wall 3 and extends along this side wall 3 of a front wall 15 of the device housing 2 to a rear wall, not shown.
- a second water guide 14 is disposed immediately adjacent to the second side wall 4 and extends along this side wall 4 also from the front wall 15 to the rear wall of the device housing 2.
- the two water guide elements 13, 14 are arranged at an angle to the bottom 5 and are slightly higher than the collecting device 1 1. The from above on the respective water guide 13, 14 dripping or running water leakage is then guided via the respective water guide 13, 14 to the collection device 1 1 for water leakage.
- the two water guide elements 13, 14 thus serve as grooves, which are designed to direct leakage water directly into the collecting device 1 1.
- the two water guide elements 13, 14 are arranged on the bottom 5 so that they rest on respective side walls 3, 4 via respective collars or webs 16, 17. These collars 16, 17 extend over the entire length of the respective water-conducting element 13, 14.
- an electronic device which has the above-mentioned switch and serves to control the delivery of control signals to the shut-off valve can also be arranged on one of the water guide elements 13, 14.
- the thermoplastic material used is preferably the PVC plastic.
- the water-conducting elements 13, 14 are produced, in particular, from a film having a thickness of, for example, 1 mm.
- the individual water guide elements 13, 14 and an additional water guide element 18 are shown in more detail in FIGS. 2 to 4.
- the additional water guide element 18 is thereby arranged directly on the front wall 15 of the device housing 2 and brought with its collar 19 with the front wall 15 into abutment.
- All Wasserleitimplantation 13, 14, 18 are made by thermoforming of the PVC plastic, which proves very advantageous in terms of manufacturing costs, the production time and the required space.
- an advantage of thermoforming is that the water guide elements 13, 14, 18 produced in this manufacturing process have a very low weight.
- the water guide elements 13, 14, 18 can be fastened to the floor 5 via suitable fastening means.
- This attachment can be realized, for example, with a clip connection, so that the water guide elements 13, 14, 18 can be attached to the floor 5 without much effort and very quickly and also can be quickly replaced.
- the water guide elements 13, 14, 18 may also have a smooth surface, without elevations, depressions and the like are provided, which could affect the function of the water guide elements 13, 14, 18.
