Description

Machine washer frame.

Technical field

The invention is included in the field of racks of domestic washing machines comprising a frame body from which the oscillating group is hung with the tank Wash and drum. The frame body has two side walls, a rear wall, a front wall and an upper wall that join together by means of fasteners such as plastic hooks, welding and / or bolted joints where at least one wall is made of sheet metal.

State of the art

The racks of the washing machines are made by sheet metal side walls that are joined in one piece with the back wall forming a U-shaped body. This U-body is reinforced by metal crossbars that stiffen the structure. The upper crossbar hangs oscillating group springs. The upper cross member can be a full metal lid. A U-shaped body arms are join the front wall by means of plastic hooks that hook in corresponding lace openings. Finally I know reinforced by screws.

At the top of the frame closes by a cover that is screwed or joined by fixing clipped to the top of the two side walls, part upper rear wall and upper wall frontal.

Description of the invention

The object of the invention is to achieve a simplest washer frame in manufacturing and simplified in connections.

This object is achieved by a rack of washing machine comprising a body with two side walls, one back wall, a front wall and a top wall that join each other through fasteners such as plastic hooks, points of welding and / or bolted joints where at least one wall is made of sheet metal where the wall made of sheet metal metal has at least one fixation made as a hook formed in the same sheet where it engages a lace made in The other wall

This type of hook shaped on the wall of sheet metal is easily manufactured during sheet metal stamping metal so you can save the plastic hooks.

In a preferred embodiment, the walls sides are made of sheet metal and have at least one hook where it hooks the front wall. The hook is directed towards above so the front wall can be hung and fixed by gravity.

In another embodiment, the front wall is made of sheet metal and has at least two hooks that hook into the side walls. The hooks are directed down and to the fit the lace, the front wall is dropped by gravity being fixed to the side walls.

Another union that can be done with this system is with the side walls made of sheet metal and have at least one hook where the upper wall hooks.

Or, the upper wall is made in sheet and has at least two hooks that hook on the walls lateral.

Once the walls are joined by these hook fixings, can be locked by screws or other similar type of fixation.

Description of the figures

Other advantages are taken from the following Description of the figures. In the figures a Example of embodiment of the invention. The figures, the description and the claims contain numerous features in combination. The expert will consider the characteristics advantageously also individually and will bring them together in others reasonable combinations.

These show:

Figure 1 A perspective view of a washing machine frame according to the invention,

Figure 2 a schematic view of two possible hooks made in the sheet metal,

Figure 3 a schematic view of two possible fittings made in the frame walls and

Figure 4 plastic hooks and fixings of Rack walls of the prior art.

Description of the preferred embodiment

Figure 1 shows a frame 1 of domestic washing machine according to the invention with the walls that They compose it in exploding perspective.

The side walls 2 are joined together by crossbars to stiffen the structure. Wall Rear joins the two side walls by screws.

The upper wall 5 is fixed to the upper face of the side walls 2 by hooks 6 made in the top wall 5 that snaps into lace made face upper side walls 2. On the front face of the side walls 2 have been cut into hooks 6 in the form of arrowhead and directed upwards. The front wall 4 has some holes that form the lace where the hooks are hooked 6 of the side walls 2. The front wall 4 slides towards down until the hooks 6 are firmly locked in the lace

Figure 2 shows hook shapes 6 possible in which in the first one you see a hook with tip shape that separates from the plane formed by the surface of Wall. This type of form can be done by hitting press and die. The type of hook 6 that appears on the right in the Figure 2 is a cutout of the wall plate and bent towards outside. Other types of hooks are possible made with cuts and conformed of the sheet.

Figure 3 shows lace holes where hooks 6 are attached to join the walls. A kind of Lock-shaped lace is advantageous to reduce the relative mobility of the walls.

Figure 4 shows type hooks state of the art plastic. These hooks are fixed to one wall by clip and then fixed to the other wall engaging in keyhole-shaped lace.
