The invention relates to a water-conducting household appliance according to the preamble of claim 1.

Domestic water appliances such as e.g. Dishwashers have a door with which the treatment container, in the case of a dishwasher, the interior of the dishwasher can be opened and closed. On the inside, an electrical component in the form of an addition device is arranged on the appliance door, which serves to deliver dishwashing detergent and / or rinse aid into the interior of the dishwasher.

During assembly of the dishwasher, it may be necessary to open or close a non-handle appliance door.

The object of the invention is to develop a dishwasher in such a way that to facilitate opening and / or closing the door.

The object of the invention is solved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are disclosed in the respective subclaims.

The invention is based on a water-conducting domestic appliance, in particular a dishwasher, having at least one appliance door on which a cable holder is arranged.

According to the invention it is provided that the cable holder has a handle for pivoting operation of the appliance door of the household appliance. Thus, the operability is increased in a simple manner, without the need for mounting an additional component is required. Preferably, an electrical component is arranged on the inside of the appliance door. However, it may also be another component without electrical components.

Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the electrical component is an adding device. The adding device is used to add cleaning agents and rinse aid in the interior of a dishwasher and is connected thereto via electrical lines with a control of the dishwasher.

For cable routing, a cable holder is preferably provided for at least one cable, in particular for electrical lines or fiber optic cables, which has at least one guide section for guiding the at least one cable.

Finally, it is preferably provided that the at least one guide section is fastened to a door inner part of the appliance door. In an alternative embodiment, it is preferably provided that the at least one guide section is detachably connected to the electrical component.

Preferably, the at least one guide portions of the cable holder is not rigid, but arranged pivotally on the cable holder. The one or preferably two guide portions of the cable holder can therefore be arranged aligned with each other for a mounting technology simple equipping the power supply cable aligned in a common mounting plane, in which the two guide sections form an angle of 180 °. When loading, therefore, the cables are not complicated assembly technology to lead around edges around. In addition, the cable holder can be adjusted for a space-saving storage in a compact packaging layer. In the packaging layer, by way of example, both guide sections can lie on one another laterally, that is to say that an angle between the two guide sections lies at zero. Only in the final assembly, the two guide portions of the cable holder can be spent in their angled mounting position.

For easy handling of the cable holder, its two guide sections can be connected to one another via a joint, for example a hinge area, in particular a film hinge. In this case, the guide sections depending on the respective assembly step in an installation position or a Bestückungslage be unfolded or alternatively folded into a packaging layer.

Preferably, the two guide portions of the cable holder can be positioned directly contour-adapted in its installed position on the electrical component of the household appliance. Mounting technology favorable here is a tool-free locking connection between the guide sections and the electrical component.

Preferably, the two, mutually adjustable guide portions of the cable holder can be completely folded in its packaging layer, so that both guide portions are with their long sides in contact with each other. In this case, at least one of the above-mentioned locking elements in a double function serve not only for latching connection with the electrical component, but at the same time for securing on the adjacent guide section and be correspondingly with this in latching engagement.

In a particular embodiment, the cable holder for use in a domestic appliance, in particular a water-conducting household appliance such. B. a dishwashing or washing machine adapted. A dishwasher usually has in its door on the door inner panel part on a housing of an adding device, which constitutes an electrical component according to the invention. The feeding device is known to be provided with electrical actuating elements, such as a magnetic coil and an electric rinse display. The cable holder can be supported on the above-mentioned locking elements in the installed position on the housing of the feed device.

The appliance door of the dishwasher can be designed with a, the washing compartment facing door inner sheet metal part, on the outside of a door outer part, such as a closed front panel or a furniture panel is provided. In the factory installation of the appliance door, the front side still open, trough-shaped door inner sheet metal part is first hinged via lateral hinge lever on the dishwasher. In order to simplify a pivoting operation of the door inner panel part hinged to the dishwasher in this mounting state, one of the guiding sections of the cable holder be executed with a handle. The handle may be a raised from the guide portion handle bar.

For a secure operation of the handle formed on the guide portion, the latches of the cable holder on the housing of the feed device must be made stable enough. It is therefore preferred if, in addition to the latches on the housing of the feed device, at least one guide section of the lime holder is additionally coupled directly to the door inner panel of the appliance door. Tensile forces that are exerted on the cable holder when the handle is actuated can therefore be reliably absorbed by the inner door panel.

In terms of manufacturing technology, it is preferred if the guide sections, together with the hinge area and the latching elements, are of the same material and / or in one piece. In this case, the cable holder manufacturing technology can be easily manufactured as an injection molded part. The cable holder can be made in particular at an angle of 180 ° between the two guide sections advantageous with simple molds without additional sliding components.

Furthermore, the invention includes a cable holder for a water-conducting household appliance according to the invention.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the invention with reference to the accompanying figures is shown.

Show it:

Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a dishwasher, the appliance door, an outside front element is removed.

Fig. 3 of the cable holder in isolation; 4 shows the cable holder after being fitted with power supply cables; and

Fig. 5 of the cable holder in a packaging layer.

1 shows a not yet fully assembled dishwasher with a door 1, which opens or closes a front-side feed opening of a washing container 2 of the dishwasher. This is hinged in a known manner on the bottom side about a horizontal axis of rotation pivotally mounted on the dishwasher. The appliance door 1 has in the usual manner in the assembled state, a door inner panel part 5 and an outer door element mounted thereon, such as a front panel or a furniture panel on. In FIG. 1, this door outer element is omitted for reasons of clarity, so that the door inner sheet metal part 5 is exposed.

As is apparent from Fig. 1, an addition device 7 for metering a cleaning agent is integrated in the appliance door 1. For holding the adding device 7, the door inner sheet metal part 5 according to FIG. 2 has an approximately central mounting opening 9, from the edges of which mounting flanges 11 protrude on the side facing away from the washing compartment 2. According to FIG. 1, the feed device 7 is inserted into the mounting opening 9 in a mounting direction I until the latching projections 15 provided on the edge sides 12, 13 of the feed device 7 engage behind the mounting flanges 11, as shown in FIG.

For metering the cleaning agent during a flushing operation, the feed device 7 is actuated by an electronic control device which is likewise integrated in the appliance door 1. The control device is also in signal connection with an electronic rinse display integrated in the feed device 7. For a perfect, well-defined cable routing between the control device and the feed device 7, the power supply cables 17 are held in a cable guide element 19, which is shown in Fig. 1 in its installed position. According to FIG. 1, the cable guide element 19 has two guide sections 21, 23 which are angled at an angle Ot ₁ of 90 ° to one another. These also encompass mutually perpendicular vertical and horizontal edge sides 12, 13 of the feed device 7. By means of the cable holder 19 is a cable guide along the two edge sides 12, 13 up to the level of the respective, not shown connecting sockets of the feed device. 7 The cable holder 19 is here a one-piece as well as integrally formed plastic injection molded part. The two strip-shaped guide portions 21, 23 are connected via a film hinge 25 pivotally connected to each other and frame the adding device 7 in about half. In this case, the guide section 23, which is installed vertically in FIG. 1, extends downwards beyond the lower housing edge of the feed device 7. The cables 17 are therefore looped around the lower end 26 of the guide portion 23 and out in opposite directions back to the corresponding connection socket of the feed device 7. The cable loops formed in this way allow drops of liquid to flow, if necessary along the cables 17.

The horizontally located in installation position guide portion 21 of the cable holder 19 surrounds the other hand, with its angled free end 27, the housing edge 28. At the free end 27 of the horizontal guide portion 21 of FIG. 2, an elastically resilient tab is provided in the installed position against a vertical edge side of Feed device presses.

For lateral shielding of the cable 17, the two guide portions 21, 23 of the cable holder 19 front boundary walls 29. In addition, fastening clips 31 are provided on each of the guide sections 21, 23, which fix the cables 17 to the bottom 32 of the guide sections 21, 23 of the cable holder 19.

The horizontal guide portion 21 of the cable holder 19, according to FIG. 2, further comprises resilient catch hooks 33. These are aligned horizontally against the mounting direction I and formed below the bottom 32 of the guide portion 21 on the front boundary wall 29.

For mounting the cable holder 19 on the feed device 7, according to FIG. 2, first of all its horizontal guide section 21 is pushed in the horizontal mounting direction II onto the upper edge side 13 of the feed device 7. The horizontally aligned latching hooks 33 are guided through corresponding latching openings 35 of the feed device 7 until the latching hooks 33 engage behind the corresponding latching openings 35. After locking the horizontal Guide section 21 with the feed device 7, the guide portion 23 is pivoted about the film hinge 25 in the mounting direction IM in the counterclockwise direction in its vertical mounting position. In the installed position, a latching pin 37 provided on the vertical guide section 23 is in latching connection with a corresponding latching receptacle 38 provided laterally on the feed device 7.

For easy handling of the device door 1 mounted on the dishwasher according to FIG. 1, a handle bar 39 is integrally formed on the floor 32 of the guide section 21. The handle bar 39 extends approximately centrally along the guide portion 21 on the front side of the boundary wall 29 opposite side. For pivotal actuation of the already hinged to the housing of the dishwasher door inner sheet metal part 5, the handle bar 39 is engaged behind by the fitter and acted upon by the indicated in Fig. 1 actuating force F. The provided between the locking hooks 33 and the latching openings 35 of the adding device 7 upper latching connection is to be dimensioned accordingly to keep the cable holder 19 when acted upon by the actuating force F stable at the feed device 7. To reinforce this upper latching connection 21 additional latching projections 41 may be provided on the bottom 32 of the guide portion 21, as indicated in FIG. When sliding the cable holder 19 in the mounting direction II on the feed device 7, the locking projections 41 together with corresponding detent openings 43 in the mounting flange 11 of the door inner sheet metal part 5 can provide an additional latching. In this case, the cable holder 19 is not only with the feed device 7, but also with the door inner panel part 5 positively connected.

As already mentioned, the cable holder 19 is produced by plastic injection molding. The cable holder 19 is manufactured in an injection molding chamber with folded-apart, in the longitudinal direction mutually aligned guide portions 21, 23, as shown in FIG. 3. The angle α ₂ between the two guide portions 21, 23 is in the production position shown at 180 °. Due to the unfolded position of the two guide sections 21, 23 simple injection molding tools can be used without additional sliding components are required.

In the, in the Fig. 3, longitudinally oriented manufacturing position of the guide portions 21, 23, the pre-assembly of the power supply cable 17 is also carried out on the cable guide element 19, as shown in FIG. 4. For this purpose, the cables 17 are clamped between the fastening clips 31 and the bottom 32 of the guide sections 21, 23. The pre-assembly takes place in a common mounting plane, without the cables 17 would have to be mounted consuming technically complicated around edges between each other angled guide portions 21, 23. The pre-assembly position of the cable holder 19 shown in FIG. 4 is therefore identical to its production position shown in FIG. 3.

After pre-assembly, the cable holder 19 equipped with the cables 17 can be adjusted about the film hinge 25 into a packaging position, as shown in FIG. 5. In the packaging position shown, the two guide portions 21, 23 are completely folded. The cable holder 19 thus assumes an extremely compact, closed geometry, in which the angle α. ₃ between the two guide portions 21, 23 is reduced to zero. Such a folded cable holder 19 can be packaged or stored in a large number of space.

To secure the packaging position of the locking pin 37 of the vertical in the installed position guide section 23 engages in a corresponding latching receptacle 45, which is provided in the bottom 32 of the mounting position horizontal guide section 21. The latching pin 37 thus serves in a double function in the installed position for lateral locking with the feed device 7 and in the packaging layer for latching with the guide section 21.
