Definitions

  • the invention relates to a one-piece housing wall of a housing of a laundry treatment machine for connection to the rest of the housing of the type mentioned in the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Such one-piece housing walls of laundry treatment machines are already known from the prior art in a large number of embodiments and comprise a front section, a bottom section running perpendicular to the front section, a top section running perpendicular to the front section and at a distance from the bottom section, and two top sections running perpendicular to the front section and the bottom section and spaced-apart side sections, the two side sections each having a first standing seam running parallel to the front section at their free ends, and the front section being connected to the base section and/or the top section by means of the two side sections, and the two side sections each having at least one the bottom section and/or the top section, parallel to and perpendicular to the first standing seam of this side section, have fastening straps for fastening the side sections to the bottom section and/or the top section, and in the housing wall in the area of the bottom section and the top section at least two fastening openings each for fastening the housing wall located on the rest of the housing.
  • the invention therefore addresses the problem of improving a one-piece housing wall of a housing of a laundry treatment machine.
  • a one-piece housing wall of a housing of a laundry treatment machine with the features of patent claim 1, which is characterized in that the fastening openings are arranged in a second standing seam formed at a free end of the respective fastening strap.
  • the laundry treatment machine can be, for example, a washing machine, a tumble dryer or a combination appliance for washing and drying laundry.
  • the laundry treatment machine can be designed for private use, ie as a household appliance, as well as for professional use, ie as a commercial appliance.
  • the advantage that can be achieved with the invention is, in particular, that a one-piece housing wall of a housing of a laundry treatment machine is improved. Due to the design of the one-piece housing wall according to the invention, it is possible to design the one-piece housing wall to be very material-saving and therefore very thin, without reducing the stability of the one-piece housing wall compared to the one-piece housing walls known from the prior art.
  • the one-piece housing wall according to the invention can be freely selected within wide suitable limits in terms of type, function, material and dimensioning.
  • An advantageous development of the one-piece housing wall according to the invention provides that the second standing seam formed on the fastening strap runs parallel to the front section. In this way, for example, the connection of the first standing seam with the associated second standing seam is significantly simplified in terms of construction and production technology.
  • a particularly advantageous development of the one-piece housing wall according to the invention provides that the first standing seams of the two side sections, which run parallel to the front section, are each extended in the direction of the second standing seam of one of the fastening straps in such a way that the first standing seams of the two side sections each overlap the second standing seam of the respective fastening strap overlap and the respective first standing seam can be connected to the fastening tab assigned to it, preferably that the first standing seams do not overlap the fastening openings.
  • the connection of the first standing seam with the associated second standing seam is significantly simplified in terms of construction and production technology.
  • the preferred embodiment of this development offers the further advantage that the fastening openings for fastening the one-piece housing wall according to the invention to the rest of the housing of the laundry treatment machine are not adversely affected by the overlapping of the second standing seam by the respective first standing seam. Furthermore, with the aforementioned overlap, it would also be necessary for a fastening opening to be arranged in the respective first standing seam, which fastening opening would have to be designed congruently with the corresponding fastening opening in the second standing seam.
  • the first standing seams of the two side sections are each formed as a continuous standing seam.
  • continuous means here that the respective standing seam extends essentially from one end of the side section arranged on one of the other sections of the one-piece housing wall to an end of the side section opposite this end, which is also arranged on one of the other sections of the one-piece housing wall.
  • a further advantageous development of the one-piece housing wall according to the invention provides that on the one hand the fastening straps of the two side sections are connected to the base section and/or the top section and/or on the other hand the first standing seams of the two side sections are connected to the second standing seam of the corresponding fastening strap by means of clinching and/or welding are connected.
  • the respective connection between the side sections and the bottom section and/or the top section on the one hand and/or between the first standing seams and the second standing seams of the side sections on the other hand is implemented in a robust and reliable manner.
  • the fastening openings are each designed for the screw connection of the housing wall to the rest of the housing.
  • the respective connection is designed to be detachable on the one hand and durable on the other.
  • the one-piece housing wall according to the invention can be designed as any housing wall of the housing of the laundry treatment machine.
  • the one-piece housing wall according to the invention is expediently designed as a front wall of the housing.
  • a further advantageous development of the one-piece housing wall according to the invention provides that the housing wall is designed as a one-piece sheet metal part, preferably that the sheet metal part has a material thickness of less than or equal to 0.9 mm, particularly preferably that the sheet metal part has a material thickness of less than or equal to 0 .75 mm.
  • the one-piece housing wall is designed in a very simple manner in terms of design and production technology.
  • the preferred embodiment of this development offers the further advantage that the material thickness of the one-piece housing wall according to the invention is greatly optimized, namely reduced. This applies in particular to the particularly preferred embodiment of this development.
  • the laundry treatment machine is designed here as a washing machine for the household and, apart from the one-piece housing wall 2, not shown in detail.
  • a remainder of the housing of the laundry treatment machine, to which the one-piece housing wall 2 is attached, is in the Figures 1 to 4 not shown.
  • the one-piece housing wall 2 is designed as a front wall of the housing of the laundry treatment machine and comprises a front section 4, a bottom section 6 running perpendicular to the front section 4, a top section 8 running perpendicular to the front section 4 and at a distance from the bottom section 6, and two top section 8 running perpendicular to the Front section 4 and the bottom section 6, spaced apart side sections 10, 12, with the two side sections 10, 12 each having a first standing seam 14 running parallel to the front section 4 at their free ends, and the front section 4 being connected by means of the two side sections 10, 12 to the Bottom section 6 and the top section 8 is connected, and wherein the two side sections 10, 12 each have at least one fastening strap 16 running parallel to the bottom section 6 and the top section 8 and perpendicular to the first standing seam 14 of this side section 10, 12 for fastening the side sections 10, 12 on the bottom section 6 and the top section 8 and in the housing wall 2 in the area of the bottom section 6 and the top section 8 there are at least two fastening openings
  • the housing wall 2 is designed here as a one-piece sheet metal part, the sheet metal part having a material thickness of less than 0.9 mm, namely about 0.75 mm.
  • the fastening openings 18, 20 are arranged in a second standing seam 22 formed on a free end of the respective fastening strap 16.
  • the first standing seams 14 of the two side sections 10, 12, which run parallel to the front section 4 are each extended in the direction of the second standing seam 22 of one of the fastening straps 16 in such a way that the first standing seams 14 of the two side sections 10, 12 each overlap the second standing seam 22 of the respective fastening strap 16 overlap and the respective first standing seam 14 can be connected to the fastening strap 16 associated therewith, with the first standing seams 14 not overlapping the fastening openings 18 .
  • first standing seams 14 of the two side sections 10, 12 are each formed as a continuous standing seam.
  • the fastening straps 16 of the two side sections 10, 12 are connected to the bottom section 6 and the top section 8, and on the other hand the first standing seams 14 of the two side sections 10, 12 are connected to the second standing seam 22 of the corresponding fastening strap 16 by means of clinching.
  • the fastening tabs 16 for fastening the side section 10 to the bottom section 6 and for connecting the first standing seam 14 and the second standing seam 22 of the side section 10 is shown.
  • the other three fastening straps 16 are designed analogously to this and are connected to the bottom section 6 or the top section 8 .
  • the fastening tabs are each connected to the base section and the cover section by means of welding or another connection technique. The same applies to the connection of the first standing seam with the second standing seam.
  • the fastening openings 18, 20 are each designed to be suitable for screwing the housing wall 2 to the rest of the housing.
  • the one-piece housing wall 2 designed as a sheet metal part is in the delivery state of a sheet metal manufacturer, ie on a so-called coil.
  • the one-piece housing wall 2 is manufactured from this coil in a manner known per se to a person skilled in the art, in that the sheet metal wound on the coil is appropriately finished.
  • the sheet is cut, punched, embossed, drilled and folded several times until the one-piece housing wall 2 according to the 1 is trained.
  • the housing of the laundry treatment machine is sufficiently stable for the laundry treatment machine to function properly, despite the front wall having a reduced material thickness compared to the prior art, without additional reinforcement and stiffening measures being required for this.
  • the invention is not limited to the present embodiment. See, for example, the relevant statements in the introduction to the description. In particular, the invention is not limited to the design and manufacturing details of the present embodiment.
