Description

Pralni stroj z nastavljivimi podporamiWashing machine with adjustable supports

Predlagani izum se nanaša na pralni stroj za pranje perila, ki obsega ohišje z vstopno odprtino za dodajanj e/odvzemanj e perila, ki naj se ga opere, in v svojem spodnjem delu, ki je namenjen postavitvi pralnega stroja na podlago, niz po višini prestavljivih podpor, ki so povezane z omenjenim ohišjem.The present invention relates to a washing machine, comprising a housing with an inlet for adding / removing the laundry to be washed and, in its lower part, intended to place the washing machine on a base, a series of height adjustable supports related to said housing.

Vibracije, ki nastajajo tekom delovanja pralnega stroja, se prenašajo na ohišje in vplivajo škodljivo ne le na obremenjene dele ohišja, temveč tudi na stabilnost pralnega stroja. Pri tem je zlasti pomembno, da je ohišje zasnovano na način, da sile vibracij, ki se prenašajo na podpore pralnega stroja in podlago, delujejo čim manj v vodoravni smeri, da ne bi prišlo do prestavljanja stroja po podlagi. Da bi se izognili tovrstnim težavam, so znane rešitve, kjer se ohišje v območju podpor ojači z dodatnimi elementi. Dalje so znane rešitve, kjer se z dodatnim plastičnim preoblikovanjem oz. globokimi vleki in zavihki v vogalih ohišja stroja, na mestih pritrditve podpor, poskuša povečati trdnost ohišja. Zaradi morebitno neravnih tal in omenjene stabilne namestitve so pralni stroji praviloma opremljeni z vsaj eno po višini nastavljivo podporo. Omenjena podpora je pri tem zasnovana z osnovo, ki sodeluje s podlago, na kateri stoji pralni stroj. Iz omenjene osnove štrli z navojem opremljeno steblo, ki je s spodnje strani privito na ohišje pralnega stroja. Pomanjkljivost tovrstnih rešitev leži v sorazmerno tankem in gibkem materialu, iz katerega je izdelano ohišje, zaradi česar pride do lokalnega upogibanja omenjenega materiala in posledično do prenosa neželenih vibracij na podlago.The vibrations generated during the operation of the washing machine are transmitted to the housing and adversely affect not only the loaded parts of the housing, but also the stability of the washing machine. It is of particular importance that the housing is designed in such a way that the vibrational forces transmitted to the washers and the base support act as little as possible in the horizontal direction so as not to cause the machine to move across the base. In order to avoid such problems, solutions are known where the housing in the support area is reinforced with additional elements. The following are known solutions where, with additional plastic molding or. deep pulls and tabs in the corners of the machine body, at the points of attachment of the supports, attempts to increase the strength of the housing. Due to potentially uneven floors and the aforementioned stable installation, washing machines are generally equipped with at least one height adjustable support. The aforementioned support is designed with a base that cooperates with the base on which the washing machine stands. From this base there is a threaded stem that is screwed to the washing machine housing from the bottom. The disadvantage of such solutions lies in the relatively thin and flexible material from which the housing is made, which results in the local bending of said material and consequently the transmission of unwanted vibrations to the substrate.
