Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a household appliance with a closure element for covering a maintenance opening.
  • the publication KR 2010 041 031 A describes a dryer with a cover which is locked by means of rotary levers. An opening / closing or removal / insertion of the cover is only possible by several handles.
  • the pamphlets CN 101 100802A and WO 2012/062894 A2 disclose a household appliance according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object underlying the invention to provide a household appliance with a closure element for covering a maintenance opening, which can be operated easily and quickly.
  • This object is achieved by the subject matter having the features of the independent claim.
  • Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the figures, the description and the dependent claims.
  • the object is achieved by a domestic appliance having a closure element for covering a maintenance opening, wherein the closure element comprises at least one laterally displaceable locking slide for locking the closure element in the maintenance opening and a rotary closure for manually actuating the locking slide.
  • the closure element can be locked and unlocked by means of a single rotational movement.
  • a household appliance is a device that is used for household management.
  • This may be a large household appliance, such as a washing machine, a tumble dryer, a dishwasher, a cooking appliance, a cooker hood or a refrigerator, such as a refrigerator, a freezer or achengefrierkombination. But this can also be a small household appliance, such as a water heater, a coffee machine, a food processor or a vacuum cleaner.
  • the rotary closure is rotatably mounted in the middle of the closure element. As a result, for example, the technical advantage is achieved that the screw cap is easily accessible.
  • a rotation angle between an unlocking position of the rotary closure and a locking position of the rotary closure is less than 90 °.
  • the closure element has a rectangular shape.
  • the technical advantage is achieved that the closure element can be inserted into a rectangular maintenance opening.
  • the rotary closure comprises a helical groove for insertion of an actuating portion of the locking slide.
  • the closure element comprises a first locking slide for pushing out on one side of the closure element and a second locking slide for pushing out on an opposite side of the closure element.
  • the first locking slide and the second locking slide are connected to an elastic spring ring.
  • the technical advantage is achieved that the locking slide are connected to each other and the spring ring gives the system a bias that ensures efficient insertion and locking when inserting the closure element.
  • the spring ring and the locking slide are combined in a single plastic part.
  • the technical advantage is achieved that a simpler installation and a lower complexity and number of parts is achieved.
  • the spring action is not required by a positive positive guidance over the grooves in the grip element.
  • the closure element comprises a third locking slide for pushing out on one side of the closure element and a fourth locking slide for pushing out on an opposite side of the closure element, which are arranged perpendicular to the first and the second locking slide.
  • the first, the second, the third and the fourth locking slide are connected to an elastic spring ring.
  • spring ring gives the system a bias.
  • the slide-out locking slide is arranged behind a cover cap.
  • the cap comprises an opening for actuating the rotary closure.
  • the cap can be latched onto the closure element.
  • the technical advantage is achieved that the cap can be mounted quickly.
  • the locking slide has a rectangular cross-section.
  • the technical advantage is achieved that the locking slide is flat and takes up little space to complete.
  • the closure element comprises a circular recess with a diametrically extending Handle element.
  • the closure element comprises reinforcing ribs which are arranged concentrically around the rotary closure.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of a household appliance 100.
  • the household appliance 100 is for example a tumble dryer.
  • the tumble dryer comprises a maintenance opening 103, which is covered or closed by means of a closure element 101 as a service cover.
  • Behind the closure element 101 is, for example, a lint filter or other component of the household appliance 100, which is to be made accessible from the outside from time to time.
  • Fig. 2A shows a view of the closure element 101 with a rotary closure 107 in a closed position.
  • the closure member 101 has a rectangular shape that closes the rectangular service opening 103.
  • the rotary closure 107 is located in the middle of the closure element 101.
  • the closure element 101 comprises four laterally slidable locking slide 105-1, 105-2, 105-3 and 105-4, each protruding on one side 113-1, 113-2, 113-3 and 113-4 of the closure member 101.
  • the locking slides 105-1, 105-2, 105-3 and 105-4 penetrate when locking in the direction of arrow in corresponding receptacles in the maintenance opening 103, so that the closure element 101 on each side 113-1, 113-2, 113-3 and 113-4 is locked.
  • the closure element 101 comprises reinforcing ribs 117, which are arranged concentrically around the rotary closure 107, so that the stability of the closure element 101 is increased.
  • Fig. 2B shows a view of the closure element 101 with the rotary closure 107 in an open position.
  • the locking slides 105-1, 105-2, 105-3 and 105-4 are retracted, so that the closure element 101 can be removed from the maintenance opening 103.
  • the locking slides 105-1, 105-2, 105-3 and 105-4 are withdrawn by turning the screw cap 107.
  • Fig. 3 shows an exploded view of the closure element 101.
  • the closure element 101 comprises an inner lid 123, the locking slide 105-1, 105-2, 105-3 and 105-4 and the rotary closure 107 and a cap, not shown.
  • the inner lid 123, the lock slides 105-1, 105-2, 105-3 and 105-4, the screw cap 107 and the cap are formed of, for example, injection-molded parts.
  • the inner lid 123 is reinforced by concentrically around the rotary closure 107 circumferential reinforcing ribs 117.
  • the reinforcing ribs 117 at the same time form a guide for the locking slides 105-1, 105-2, 105-3 and 105-4.
  • the reinforcing ribs 117 comprise recesses in which the locking slides 105-1, 105-2, 105-3 and 105-4 are inserted.
  • the locking slides 105-1, 105-2, 105-3 and 105-4 are connected by an elastic spring ring 115 with each other, so that the system is given a bias and when inserting the closure member 101, a reliable locking and locking is ensured.
  • the rotary closure 107 is fastened with a screw 125 to a rotation axis 127 of the inner cover 123.
  • the rotary closure 107 is circular and has in the center of a bowl-like depression 121. Transversely through the depression 121, the grip element 119 extends, so that the rotary closure 107 has no protruding parts.
  • Fig. 4A shows a rear view of the closure element 101 with the locking slides 105-1, 105-2, 105-3 and 105-4 in the closed position.
  • a spiral groove 109 for inserting an operation portion 111 of the lock slider 105.
  • a linear locking of the closure element 101 takes place simultaneously at four points.
  • the locking slides 105-1, 105-2, 105-3 and 105-4 are guided over the cam track defined by the groove 109 such that a uniform translational movement in the opening or closing direction is formed.
  • the locking slides 105-1, 105-2, 105-3 and 105-4 describe the same way, so that after reaching the open position, the closure element 101 can be removed with a handle.
  • Fig. 4B shows a further rear view of the closure element 101 with the locking slides 105-1, 105-2, 105-3 and 105-4 in the open position.
  • the locking slides 105-1, 105-2, 105-3 and 105-4 are pulled inwards and the elastic spring ring 115 compresses in a wave-like manner.
  • the locking slides 105-1, 105-2, 105-3 and 105-4 are stabilized by cross-shaped reinforcing ribs.
  • Figs. 5A and 5B show further perspective views of the closure element 101.
  • On the rear side of the closure element 101 a left and right side wall 129 are respectively formed, through which the closure element 101 can be guided during insertion into the maintenance opening 103.
  • the locking slides 105-1, 105-2, 105-3 and 105-4 have a flat, rectangular in cross-section shape, so that this space-saving integrated into the closure element 101 can be.
