Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Baugruppe für ein Haushaltgerät und ein Haushaltgerät.The invention relates to an assembly for a household appliance and a household appliance.
Zur Erdung berührbaren elektrisch leitfähigen Teilen von Haushaltgeräten und dergleichen kann beispielsweise ein Anschweißen von Flachsteckern oder ein Aufstecken von Erdungselementen auf Blechkanten oder auf an einem zu erdenden Bauteil angebrachte Flachstecker durchgeführt werden.For grounding touchable electrically conductive parts of household appliances and the like, for example, a welding of tabs or attaching grounding elements on sheet metal edges or mounted on a component to be grounded tab can be performed.
Der Erfindung stellt sich die Aufgabe, eine verbesserte Baugruppe für ein Haushaltgerät und ein verbessertes Haushaltgerät bereitzustellen.The object of the invention is to provide an improved assembly for a domestic appliance and an improved domestic appliance.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Baugruppe für ein Haushaltgerät und ein Haushaltgerät mit den Merkmalen der Hauptansprüche gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.According to the invention this object is achieved by an assembly for a household appliance and a household appliance with the features of the main claims. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention will become apparent from the following subclaims.
Die mit der Erfindung erreichbaren Vorteile bestehen beispielsweise unter anderem darin, dass eine Erdung über einen Hohlraum bzw. Zwischenraum ermöglicht werden kann, wobei unter anderem insbesondere sichtbare Einbrände oder Beulen durch Schweißungen sowie ein erhöhter Bauraumbedarf durch aufgesteckte Elemente vermieden werden können. Anders ausgedrückt kann insbesondere eine vorteilhafte Erdung bzw. elektrische Anbindung von Bauteilen aus spannungsleitenden Materialien im Sichtbereich ermöglicht werden. Es kann beispielsweise eine von außerhalb des Haushaltgerätes unsichtbare und sichere Erdung mit geringem Platzbedarf realisiert werden.The advantages achievable with the invention consist, inter alia, in that a grounding via a cavity or gap can be made possible, wherein, inter alia, in particular visible burns or bumps by welding and an increased space requirement can be avoided by plugging elements. In other words, in particular, an advantageous grounding or electrical connection of components made of voltage-conducting materials in the field of view can be made possible. For example, it is possible to realize a grounding that is invisible and safe from outside the household appliance with a small footprint.
Somit kann ein Bauteil aus einem elektrische Spannung leitenden Material, das von außerhalb des Haushaltgerätes nahezu vollständig sichtbar uns berührbar ist, beispielsweise ein Edelstahlblech eines Gerätedeckels, von einem Benutzer sicher berührt und vorteilhafterweise auf zuverlässige und von außen unsichtbare Weise spannungsfrei gehalten bzw. geerdet werden. Wenn beispielsweise ein Kontakt mit spannungsführenden Teilen im Inneren des Gerätes, beispielsweise an einer Rückseite eines Edelstahlbleches, möglich ist, kann daher auf eine zuverlässige und unaufwendige Weise eine Erdung des Edelstahlbleches erreicht werden. Es kann insbesondere eine Erdungsmöglichkeit geschaffen werden, bei der anders als bei einer Schweißung ein sichtbarer Einbrand bzw. eine sichtbare Beule vermieden werden kann und Bauraum zum Aufstecken eines Flachsteckers eingespart werden kann.Thus, a component of an electrical voltage-conducting material that is almost completely visible to us from outside of the household appliance, such as a stainless steel sheet of a device cover, safely touched by a user and advantageously held in a reliable and invisible from the outside way stress-free or grounded. If, for example, contact with live parts inside the device, for example on a rear side of a stainless steel sheet, is possible, grounding of the stainless steel sheet can therefore be achieved in a reliable and inexpensive manner. In particular, a grounding possibility can be created in which, unlike a weld, a visible penetration or a visible bulge can be avoided and installation space for attaching a flat plug can be saved.
