Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connection arrangement, in particular for a household appliance.
  • the publication WO 2008/125472 A1 discloses a method for producing a washing container, in particular for dishwashers, in which an upper part, which comprises at least one or two side walls and / or a rear wall, is placed on a base forming the bottom of the washing container, the upper part and the base are connected to one another, and a seal is inserted between the top and the base. Before placing the top on the base and connecting the top to the base and before inserting the gasket, at least one protrusion securing the gasket in place later is formed.
  • connection arrangement in particular for a household appliance, with a seal, a first component which has a U-shaped channel, and a second component which has a U-shaped contour in a first direction in the U-shaped channel the first component is spread apart and in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the seal against the U-shaped channel of the first component for a fluidic seal between the first component and the second component presses, wherein the U-shaped contour of the second component has a first , second and third portions, and wherein the third portion of the U-shaped contour of the second component forms a free end of the second component.
  • connection arrangement for a dishwasher.
  • the disclosed connection arrangement comprises a frame part made of plastic and a container shell made of sheet metal, which are connected to each other via welding pins.
  • the welding pins are formed on the frame part and are inserted through holes in the container shell. Thereafter, the welding pins are reshaped and thus ensure a positive connection between the frame part and the container casing.
  • a sealing element is arranged, which seals these against each other.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide an improved connection arrangement, which is characterized in particular by a simple manufacturing and assembling.
  • a connection arrangement in particular for a domestic appliance, with a seal, a first component and a second component.
  • the first component has a U-shaped channel.
  • the second component has a U-shaped contour which is spread in a first direction in the U-shaped channel of the first component and in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction a seal against the U-shaped channel of the first component for a fluidic Sealing between the first and the second component presses.
  • the U-shaped contour of the second component has a first, second and third portion and the third portion of the U-shaped contour of the second component forms a free end of the second component.
  • the first portion of the U-shaped contour of the second component has a receptacle in which the Seal is partially received
  • the U-shaped channel of the first component has a retaining means, which blocks a movement of the third portion of the U-shaped contour of the second component against the first direction.
  • connection in this type of connection, no complex geometries, such as the aforementioned welding pins, are produced, for which complex forming elements are usually required on a pointed tool.
  • connection can be produced in only one assembly step, namely by spreading the U-shaped contour of the second component in the first direction.
  • Another advantage of the connection arrangement is that along the U-shaped contour of the second component no positive connection between the first and the second component is received.
  • the first and the second component can be made of materials which have a very different coefficient of expansion. Despite the sometimes severe temperature fluctuations in a household appliance, such as a dishwasher, this does not lead to unwanted tension between the first and the second component.
  • so can cost-effective Materials, such as plastics, are used in particular for the first component. By reducing tension, the risk of leakage between the first and second components is also reduced.
  • the first and second sections of the U-shaped contour of the second component and the second and third sections of the U-shaped contour of the second component are preferably arranged at right angles to each other.
  • a right angle is meant an angle of 90 ° ⁇ 10 °, preferably 90 ° ⁇ 5 ° and more preferably 90 ° ⁇ 1 °.
  • the first, second and third portions of the U-shaped contour of the second component are formed integrally with each other.
  • the receptacle can be formed by a bead in the first section of the U-shaped contour of the second component.
  • the receptacle prevents the seal from moving along the first portion of the U-shaped contour and out of the U-shaped channel of the first component.
  • Fluid seal means sealing against liquids and / or gases, such as water or water vapor.
  • the first portion of the U-shaped contour of the second component bears against the seal, wherein the distance between the free end and the second portion of the U-shaped contour of the second component perpendicular to the second portion of the U-shaped contour of the second component is greater than the distance between the seal and the second portion of the U-shaped contour of the second component perpendicular to the second portion of the U-shaped contour of the second component.
  • the first portion of the U-shaped contour of the second component presses the seal against a side wall of the U-shaped channel of the first component and thus causes a frictional engagement between the first portion of the U-shaped contour of the second component and the side wall.
  • the retaining means is provided in the form of at least one hook, which is formed on a third wall of the U-shaped contour of the second component associated side wall.
  • the hook may have an insertion bevel, which facilitates insertion and deformation of the U-shaped contour of the second component. Downstream of the insertion in the first direction, the hook may have a paragraph behind which the free end of the third portion of the U-shaped contour of the second component is latched after relaxing the U-shaped contour of the second component.
  • an opening opposite the at least one hook is formed for passing through a shaping element of a casting tool.
  • the hook or the first component as a whole can be produced simply in a casting process, in particular in a plastic injection molding process.
  • a bottom of the U-shaped channel of the first component has at least one spring, which for holding the third portion of the U-shaped contour of the second component against the retaining means on the second portion of the U-shaped contour of the second component acts.
  • the at least one spring is an integral part of the floor.

It can be seen that the U-shaped contour 7 in a bent portion 43 which the Side wall 15 connects to the roof 16, in the form of a plurality of spaced-apart segments 44 is formed. Nevertheless, the sealing bead 21 runs uninterruptedly along the bent region 43.
  • the sealing bead 21 is preferably applied in a flat state of the hood 3. The application can then take place in a linear movement and therefore easy to automate. Only after the application, the roof 16 is then bent relative to the side wall 15 to produce the bent portion 43.
