Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cuff according to the preamble of claim 1 and a laundry treatment device according to the preamble of claim 8.
  • laundry treatment device is to be understood as a classic washing machine as well as a so-called washer-dryer that performs the functions of a washing machine and a tumble dryer combined.
  • a sleeve and a washing machine of the type mentioned are known, which has a machine housing with a front loading opening and a tub received in this. Between an opening of the tub and the loading opening, a hose-like sleeve is arranged in a liquid-tight manner, which sleeve forms a loading channel. At its end region on the loading opening side, the cuff has a sealing lip with a contact side which lies against a loading door in a sealing manner when this is in a position closing the loading opening.
  • the DE 10 2015 216 363 A1 suggest that a door gap formed between the loading door and the housing-side boundary walls is enlarged at least in a lower partial area.
  • a cuff and a laundry treatment device of the type mentioned at the outset also go from the DE 10 2015 204 327 A1 out, which describes a household appliance for the care of laundry items with a housing, a loading opening in the front of the housing that can be closed by a loading door, a tub arranged in the housing and an annular sealing collar that has a loading channel between the loading opening and an associated opening of the tub forms.
  • the sleeve has a sealing lip with a contact side that is in contact with this when the loading door is closed.
  • the sealing lip is provided on a lower partial circumference of its ring shape with a safety catch structure for an item of laundry.
  • WO 2014/021 614 A1 discloses a washing machine comprising a housing having a front surface frame through which an opening is formed, a door attached to the housing to open and close the opening, a tub disposed in the housing, a A drum rotatably disposed in the tub and a seal connecting the tub to the face frame to prevent vibration of the tub from being transmitted to the face frame when the drum rotates.
  • the gasket has a body with an opening configured to receive a portion of the door and a peripheral part surrounding the opening, and a plurality of reinforcing ribs spaced from each other in a circumferential direction of the peripheral part.
  • Each reinforcing rib has a protruding portion of the peripheral part, and the inner surface of the peripheral part has a recessed portion corresponding to the protruding portion.
  • Each reinforcement rib has a predetermined width in a circumferential direction of the peripheral part, and at least a portion of the reinforcement rib extends along the peripheral part in the axial direction of the drum.
  • the object of the present invention is to implement a reliable door opening function, particularly in so-called front-loading laundry treatment machines.
  • the retaining force exerted by the sealing lip resting on the loading door should be reproducible and as low as possible.
  • the contact side of the cuff has a surface structure which comprises at least one elevation running around the circumference.
  • the retaining force of the sealing lip acting on the loading door is significantly reduced while the sealing function continues to be guaranteed.
  • the sealing lip only comes into contact with separate and therefore clearly defined contact zones Body contact with the loading door.
  • the loading door comprises an inwardly extending door body made of window glass (a so-called porthole) which comes into contact with the sealing lip, the retaining force can be set precisely and reproducibly without increasing the production cost of the sleeve.
  • the contact side of the sleeve has a surface structure comprising two projections running around the circumference, which are spaced apart in the radial direction by at least one depression. This then advantageously ensures the sealing function, in particular through the formation of a labyrinth, with a flat body contact of the contact side of the Cuff can be avoided.
  • the elevations do not necessarily have to be completely circumferential (i.e. as a closed ring shape), as long as suitable measures - such as, for example, elevations offset in parallel in the circumferential direction or elevations configured in a wave or meander shape - ensure a sufficient sealing function in the axial direction. At least one or more or all of the elevations are preferably designed in a closed ring shape.
  • At least one elevation has a triangular shape in the profile cross-section, the triangular shape extending with a tip away from the contact side.
  • At least one elevation has a rectangular shape in the profile cross-section.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that at least one elevation in the profile cross section has a parabolic shape, the apex of which extends away from the contact side.
  • An embodiment of the invention is further preferred, according to which at least one elevation has a shark skin profile in the profile cross-section.
  • an elevation in the profile cross section has a sinusoidal shape, the upper apex of which extends away from the contact side.
  • the contact surface is significantly reduced compared to an unstructured surface of the sleeve, whereby the contact zone and the retention force required for a sealing effect can advantageously be set precisely by selecting one of the proposed profile cross-sections and the geometric dimensions of the profile cross-section.
  • a sinusoidal profile cross-section enables particularly gentle closing of the Loading door allows. That is, the force to be applied during the closing of the loading door or its change over the closing path is reduced compared to the other embodiments or an embodiment without a surface structure according to the invention.
  • only the force component is considered which is caused by the deformation of the contact side of the cuff in the contact zone.
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically in longitudinal section a detail from the front area of a laundry treatment appliance 1 with an appliance housing 2 which has a loading opening 3 (loading and unloading opening) on the front.
  • a tub 4 is arranged in the housing 2, which, together with other components assigned to the tub 4, is mounted in the housing 2 in a swinging manner by means of spring and damping elements not shown here.
  • a laundry drum 5 is arranged, which is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation 6 and the front opening 8 of which is aligned with the loading opening 3 so that laundry can be loaded into and removed from the laundry drum 5.
  • a sealing sleeve 9 is arranged between the loading opening 3 and the opening 8, which is hollow-cylindrical and connects the two openings 3 and 8 to one another in a liquid-tight manner.
  • the cuff 9 is connected to the tub 4 with a connection area 9a and to the housing 2 with its other connection area 9b.
  • the cuff 9 thus forms a loading channel 10 leading from the loading opening 3 to the laundry drum 5
  • Loading opening 3 or loading channel 10 can be closed by a door 13, which is pivotably attached to housing 2, in order to operate the laundry treatment appliance.
  • FIG. 1 The closed position P of the door 13 shown is sealed against the housing 2 by a door body 14 embedded in a door frame, which in this exemplary embodiment is designed as a frustoconical glass porthole 15.
  • a circular, resilient and elastically deflectable sealing lip 16 of the cuff 9 with a contact side 18 rests on its wall area 15a in a sealing manner all around.
  • Figure 2 shows that the contact side 18 of the sealing lip 16 is provided with a surface structure 20, which preferably has completely closed - that is, circular as seen in the circumferential direction U - encircling elevations 21, 22 which serve as contact surfaces, contact surface peaks or contact areas 23.
  • a surface structure 20 which preferably has completely closed - that is, circular as seen in the circumferential direction U - encircling elevations 21, 22 which serve as contact surfaces, contact surface peaks or contact areas 23.
  • only one circumferential elevation 21 or 22 is provided in the radial direction R.
  • at least one circumferential depression 24 is provided between the elevations 21, 22, so that the elevations 21, 22 are radially separated or spaced apart from one another.
  • only one circumferential elevation 21 or 22 is provided.
  • the circumferential elevations 21, 22 can have a triangular shape 28, 29.
  • the triangular shapes 28, 29 protrude upwards with their free triangular tips 28a, 29a extending away from the contact side 18 and when the door 13 is closed ( Figure 1 ) by deflecting the sealing lip 16 approximately radially into the feed channel 10 ( Figure 1 ) into it.
  • the profile shapes can be varied and adapted to the technical and geometric requirements, for example, to differently large contact areas 23 ( Figure 1 ) to realize.
  • profiles with a less acute triangular shape 28 ', 29' with triangular points 28a ', 29a' or triangular shape 28 ", 29" with triangular points 28a “, 29a” can be used. It is also conceivable to combine elevations with different triangular shapes.
  • Figure 4 shows a modification of the surface structure 20 'in which elevations 21', 22 'are formed by circular ring-shaped projections 30, 31 which are approximately rectangular in profile cross-section and with end faces 32, 33 facing the loading channel 10 when the door 13 is in the closed position.
  • a circumferential depression 24 ' runs between the elevations 21', 22 '.
  • the width and the cross-sectional area of the extensions 30, 30 ', 30 "; 31, 31', 31" can vary depending on requirements, the dimensions of the cooperating components and, for example, the choice of material for the cuff.
  • FIGS Figures 5 and 6 Further possible surface structures 20 ′′ and 20 ′ ′′ and their cross sections are shown in FIGS Figures 5 and 6 shown.
  • the height of the vertices 35a, 35a ', 35a "of the parabolic shape 35, 35', 35” or of the vertices 36a, 36a ', 36a "of the parabolic shape 36, 36', 36” can be adapted as required.
  • FIG. 6 shows elevations 21 "', 22"' separated by a circumferential depression 24 ', which in cross section have a so-called shark skin shape or a shark skin profile 38, 39.
  • This profile partially (on the left) has a parabola-like course, which at a summit point 38a , 39a (or circumferentially on a summit line) merges into a relatively steeply falling flank 40, 41.
  • the heights of the summit points - as indicated above by various hatching - define profiles whose vertices 38a ', 38a "; 39a ', 39a "are designed to be lower if necessary.
  • Figure 7 shows elevations 21 "", 22 “” separated by a circumferential depression 24 "", which in cross section have a sinusoidal shape 45, 45 ', 45 “, 46, 46', 46".
  • This profile has a sinusoidal course in the area of its upper vertex points 45a, 45a ', 45a “, 46a, 46a', 46a” as well as in the area of its lower vertex points 45b, 45b ', 45b “, 46b, 46b', 46b", wherein the upper vertices 45a, 45a ', 45a ", 46a, 46a', 46a” merge into the respectively adjacent lower vertices 45b, 45b ', 45b ", 46b, 46b', 46b” according to a sinusoidal curve.
  • the heights can of the upper vertices 45a, 46a - as also indicated above by different hatching - define profiles, the upper vertices 45a ', 45a ", 46a', 46a" of which are designed to be lower if necessary.
  • profile cross-sections explained above by way of example can be implemented and shaped in various combinations on the contact side 18 of the sealing lip 16.
  • profile cross-sections of two elevations 21, 22 to 21 '''', 22 '''' offset from one another on the contact side 18 of the sealing lip 16 are shown, but in alternative embodiments only one of the formed elevations can have a profile cross-section as described above, in particular in the case of an embodiment with only one circumferential elevation, or more than two elevations arranged offset with respect to one another with the profile cross-sections described can be provided on the contact side 18 of the sealing lip 16.
