Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Verstellen der Höhenposition eines aus dem Spülbehälter einer Geschirrspülmaschine ausziehbaren Geschirrkorbs nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a device for adjusting the height position of an extractable from the washing container of a dishwasher crockery basket according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der Deutschen Offenlegungsschrift DE 195 12 128 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Verstellen der Höhenposition eines aus dem Spülbehälter einer Geschirrspülmaschine ausziehbaren Geschirrkorbs bekannt, die ein an der aus horizontal und vertikal verlaufenden Korbstreben gebildeten Seitenwand des Geschirrkorbs angeordnetes, mit Laufrollen versehenes und an den Korbstreben vertikal verschiebbar gelagertes Korbstützblech aufweist, das über einen Verstellhebel in unterschiedlichen Höhenpositionen am Geschirrkorb festsetzbar ist. Der an einer gesonderten Hebelhalterung angelenkte Verstellhebel verfügt an seinem einen Hebelende über ein Handgriffteil und an seinem anderen Hebelende über eine Rastnase, der mehrere Rasten oder Stützvorsprünge in unterschiedlichen Höhen am Korbstützblech gegenüberliegen, in die der Verstellhebel mit seiner Rastnase vom Benutzer eingeschwenkt werden muss.From the German publication DE 195 12 128 a device for adjusting the height position of a pull-out of the washing container of a dishwasher crockery basket is known, which has arranged on the side wall of the dish rack formed of horizontally and vertically extending basket struts, provided with rollers and vertically displaceably mounted on the basket struts Korbstützblech having an adjusting lever can be fixed in different height positions on the dish rack. The hinged to a separate lever bracket adjustment lever has at its one end of the lever on a handle portion and at the other end of the lever via a detent, the plurality of detents or support projections opposite at different heights on Korbstützblech, in which the lever must be pivoted with its locking lug by the user.

Aus der Deutschen Offenlegungsschrift DE 44 01 259 ist ebenfalls eine Vorrichtung zum Verstellen der Höhenposition eines aus dem Spülbehälter einer Geschirrspülmaschine ausziehbaren Geschirrkorbs bekannt, bei der ein mit Laufrollen versehenes Korbstützblech an den Korbstreben angeordnet und über einen Verstellhebel separat einstell- und festsetzbar ist. Der außen am Korbstützblech bedienbar gelagerte Verstellhebel bewegt ein Verriegelungselement derart, dass es zwischen den mit Rastpositionen versehenen Korbstreben vertikal verschiebbar und in den Rastpositionen jeweils unter Formschluss arretierbar ist.From the German publication DE 44 01 259 is also a device for adjusting the height position of an extendable from the washing container of a dishwasher crockery basket known in which a provided with rollers basket support plate is arranged on the basket struts and separately adjustable and fixable via an adjusting lever. The adjusting lever operably mounted on the outside of the basket support plate moves a locking element such that it can be vertically displaced between the basket struts provided with latching positions and can be locked in the latching positions in each case under positive locking.

Aus der Deutschen Offenlegungsschrift DE 42 28 954 ist ebenfalls eine Vorrichtung zum Verstellen der Höhenposition eines aus dem Spülbehälter einer Geschirrspülmaschine ausziehbaren Geschirrkorbs bekannt, bei der ein mit Laufrollen versehenes Korbstützblech an den Korbstreben angeordnet und über einen Verstellhebel separat einstell- und festsetzbar ist. Der Verstellhebel ist dabei als ein von der Geschirrkorboberseite und von der Geschirrkorbaußenseite her erreichbarer im Geschirrkorb ortsfest angelenkter Rasthebel für das vertikal verschiebbar am Geschirrkorb gelagerte Korbstützblech ausgebildet ist.From the German publication DE 42 28 954 is also a device for adjusting the height position of an extendable from the washing container of a dishwasher crockery basket known, arranged in which provided with rollers Korbstützblech to the basket struts and via an adjusting lever separately and set can be fixed. The adjusting lever is designed as a from the Geschirrkorboberseite and accessible from the Geschirrkorbaußenseite forth in the dish rack fixedly hinged locking lever for the vertically displaceable mounted on the dish rack Korbstützblech.

Ferner ist aus der CH 690 488 A5 eine höhenverstellbare Korbeinheit für Wasch- und Reinigungsgeräte bekannt. Die Vorrichtung gemäß der CH 690 488 A5 weist ein einstückig ausgebildetes Korbstützblech Aufnahmen für Rollen sowie eine angeformte elastische Zunge auf, die in einer Ausnehmung des Geschirrkorbs ruht und durch außer Eingriff bringen eines Sattels in der Höhe verstellbar ausgebildet ist.Furthermore, from the CH 690 488 A5 a height adjustable basket unit for washing and cleaning equipment known. The device according to the CH 690 488 A5 has an integrally formed Korbstützblech recordings for roles and an integrally formed elastic tongue, which rests in a recess of the dish rack and is made adjustable by disengaging a saddle in height.

Die Nachteile der bekannten Vorrichtungen bestehen darin, dass entweder der Verstellhebel eine gesonderte Hebelhalterung zum Verstellen der Höhenposition des Korbstützblechs benötigt oder ein separates Verriegelungselement zu diesem Zweck bewegen muss. Dies bedeutet mehrere, voneinander getrennt angeordnete Vorrichtungselemente, die aufeinander abgestimmt zusammenwirken müssen. Vor allem aber benötigen alle Lösungen mehrere Rastpositionen bzw. Stützvorsprünge, in die der Verstellhebel entsprechend der unterschiedlichen Höhenpositionen vom Benutzer bewegt wird.The disadvantages of the known devices are that either the adjusting lever needs a separate lever holder for adjusting the height position of the Korbstützblechs or a separate locking element must move for this purpose. This means a plurality of device elements arranged separately from one another, which must co-operate with one another. Above all, however, all solutions require a plurality of locking positions or supporting projections, in which the adjusting lever is moved by the user according to the different height positions.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Vorrichtung der beschriebenen Art zu schaffen, durch die das Verstellen der Höhenposition eines ausziehbaren Geschirrkorbs verbessert wird.The invention is based on the object to provide a device of the type described, by which the adjustment of the height position of an extendable crockery basket is improved.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 erfindungsgemäß gelöst. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1 according to the invention. Further developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Ausgehend von dem an der Seitenwand des Geschirrkorbs angeordneten, mit Laufrollen versehenen und an den Korbstreben vertikal verschiebbar gelagerten Korbstützblech, das über einen Verstellhebel in unterschiedlichen Höhenpositionen am Geschirrkorb festsetzbar ist, ist der Verstellhebel gemäß dem Gegenstand der Erfindung auf dem Korbstützblech angebracht und mit seinem Hebelende in einer Aussparung des Korbstützbleches schwenkbar gelagert. Des weiteren ist am Hebelende ein zum Korbinneren gerichteter, in der Aussparung befindlicher Rasthaken angeordnet, durch den Verstellhebel und Korbstützblech nach Bewegung des Geschirrkorbs von einer unteren Höhenposition in eine obere Höhenposition an einer horizontal verlaufenden Korbstrebe selbsttätig einrasten, und durch den Verstellhebel und Korbstützblech nach Betätigen eines am anderen Hebelende angeordneten Handgriffteils in Richtung des Korbinneren von der horizontal verlaufenden Korbstrebe ausrasten und der Geschirrkorb sich automatisch von einer oberen Höhenposition in eine untere Höhenposition bewegt.Starting from the arranged on the side wall of the dish rack, provided with rollers and vertically displaceable on the basket struts Korbstützblech which can be fixed via an adjusting lever in different height positions on the dish rack, the adjustment lever according to the subject invention is mounted on the basket support plate and with its lever end pivotally mounted in a recess of Korbstützbleches. Furthermore, at the end of the lever directed towards the basket inside, located in the recess latching latch, automatically engage by the adjusting lever and basket support plate after moving the dish rack from a lower height position to an upper height position on a horizontally extending basket strut, and by the adjustment lever and Korbstützblech after pressing one arranged at the other end of the lever handle portion in the direction of the basket interior disengage from the horizontally extending basket strut and the dish rack automatically moves from an upper height position to a lower height position.

Durch den Gegenstand der Erfindung ergibt sich in vorteilhafter Weise eine in sich geschlossene Verstellvorrichtung, d.h. der Verstellhebel mit Rasthaken und das Korbstützblech mit entsprechender Aussparung bilden eine Einheit. Dies führt dazu, dass alle für das Verstellen der Höhenposition des ausziehbaren Geschirrkorbs notwendigen Elemente unmittelbar an dem Korbstützblech angeordnet sind. Von dem Korbstützblech räumlich getrennte Sonderelemente wie Hebelhalterung oder Verriegelungselement können entfallen. Die Verstellvorrichtung gemäß dem Gegenstand der Erfindung ermöglicht eine äußerst einfache Montage am Geschirrkorb und verhindert dennoch sicher, dass Geschirrteile mit der Verstellvorrichtung in Kontakt kommen. Auf jeweils gegenüber einer Rastnase liegenden Rasten bzw. Stützvorsprünge kann bei der Verstellvorrichtung gemäß dem Gegenstand der Erfindung verzichtet werden, da durch den Rasthaken bei Änderung der Höhenposition des Geschirrkorbs von unten nach oben bzw. von oben nach unten der Verstellhebel und das Korbstützblech an einer horizontal verlaufenden Korbstrebe selbsttätig einrasten bzw. von dort wieder ausrasten und sich der Geschirrkorb automatisch zur neuen Höhenposition bewegt. Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung gegenüber bekannten Verstellvorrichtungen besteht darin, dass durch die Lagerung des Verstellhebels mit Rasthaken in dem Korbstützblech selbst dieser Hebel in Bezug zur Geschirrspülmaschine immer an der gleichen Stelle verbleibt, d.h. er verändert seine Lage beim Verstellen der Höhenposition des ausziehbaren Geschirrkorbs nicht. Dies verbessert die Stabilität der Verstellvorrichtung ganz erheblich.The subject of the invention advantageously results in a self-contained adjusting device, i. the adjusting lever with latching hook and the Korbstützblech with appropriate recess form a unit. As a result, all elements necessary for adjusting the height position of the extendable dish rack are arranged directly on the basket support plate. From the basket support plate spatially separate special elements such as lever bracket or locking element can be omitted. The adjustment device according to the subject invention allows an extremely simple installation on the dish rack and still prevents sure that dishes come into contact with the adjustment. On each opposite a detent lugs or support projections can be omitted in the adjustment according to the subject invention, as by the latch hook when changing the height position of the dish rack from bottom to top or from top to bottom of the lever and the basket support plate on a horizontal automatically engage and / or disengage from the basket basket automatically moving to the new height position. A further advantage of the invention over known adjusting devices is that, by virtue of the bearing of the adjusting lever with latching hooks in the basket support plate itself, this lever remains always in the same position in relation to the dishwasher, i. he does not change his position when adjusting the height position of the extendable crockery basket. This considerably improves the stability of the adjusting device.

Gemäß einer günstigen Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Verstellhebel mit einer Feder gekoppelt, durch die nach Betätigen des Handgriffteils in der einen Richtung der Verstellhebel in der entgegengesetzten Richtung rückschwenkbar ist. Dadurch wird nach dem Entkoppeln des Geschirrkorbs von dem Korbstützblech - durch Betätigen des Handgriffteils - der Verstellhebel nicht durch den Benutzer sondern automatisch zurückgeschwenkt.According to a favorable development of the invention, the adjusting lever is coupled to a spring, by means of which, after the handle part is actuated in one direction, the adjusting lever can be pivoted back in the opposite direction. As a result, after uncoupling the dish rack from the basket support plate - by operating the handle portion - the adjustment lever is not automatically swung back by the user.

Gemäß einer besonders vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Rasthaken mit einem Hinterschnitt versehen, wodurch sich die Betätigungskraft zum Verstellen des ausziehbaren Geschirrkorbs automatisch dessen Beladungszustand - der von teilweise bis voll bestückt reichen kann - anpasst.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the latching hook is provided with an undercut, whereby the operating force for adjusting the extendable crockery basket automatically its loading condition - which can range from partially to fully stocked - adapts.

Gemäß einer weiteren günstigen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Verstellhebel auf dem Korbstützblech gemeinsam mit den Laufrollen angebracht, was zu einer noch kompakteren und einfacher montierbaren - weil möglichst viele Elemente aufweisenden - Verstellvorrichtung führt.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the adjusting lever is mounted on the Korbstützblech together with the rollers, resulting in an even more compact and easier mountable - because as many elements having - adjusting device leads.

Es hat sich auch als günstig erwiesen, wenn der Verstellhebel nahe der Oberkante des Korbstützbleches in der Aussparung schwenkbar gelagert ist, weil dadurch die geringste Betätigungskraft zum Entkoppeln des Geschirrkorbs von dem Korbstützblech - durch Betätigen des Handgriffteils - vom Benutzer aufzuwenden ist.It has also proven to be advantageous when the adjusting lever is pivotally mounted near the top of the basket support plate in the recess, because thereby the lowest operating force for decoupling the dish rack of the basket support plate - by operating the handle portion - is expended by the user.

Als vorteilhaft hat sich darüber hinaus herausgestellt, wenn das Korbstützblech an seinen Enden mit Führungselementen, die Korbstreben der Seitenwand des Geschirrkorbs zumindest teilweise umgreifen, versehen ist. Auf diese Weise erfährt die mit mehreren Elementen versehene Verstellvorrichtung einen starken Halt an der Seitenwand des Geschirrkorbs.It has also proven to be advantageous if the basket support plate is provided at its ends with guide elements which surround at least partially the basket struts of the side wall of the dish rack. In this way, the multi-element adjustment undergoes a strong grip on the side wall of the dish rack.

In this case, the dish rack 10 can be pulled out of the washing container to facilitate the loading of items for the user. Modern adjustment devices allow the adjustment of the height position of the dish rack 10 directly to the dishwasher without the need to take the basket out of the household appliance. In addition, the adjustment of the height position works even with already loaded dish rack 10th

Die Verstellvorrichtung weist ein Korbstützblech 1 auf, das an der aus horizontal und vertikal verlaufenden Korbstreben gebildeten Seitenwand des Geschirrkorbs 10, siehe Figur 3, angeordnet und mit vorzugsweise mehreren - im Beispiel insgesamt drei - auf der dem Spülbehälter zugewandten Seite befindlichen Laufrollen 5 versehen ist. Diese Laufrollen 5 bewegen sich beim Herausziehen des Geschirrkorbs 10 auf einer Korbführungsschiene - siehe z.B. Bezugszeichen 13 in Figur 5 und Figur 6 - , die sich üblicherweise nahe der Spülbehälterwand befindet. Das Korbstützblech 1 ist an den Korbstreben vertikal verschiebbar gelagert und über einen Verstellhebel 2 in unterschiedlichen Höhenpositionen am Geschirrkorb 10 festsetzbar.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verstellvorrichtung stellt somit eine in sich geschlossene und kompakte Einheit dar, da die für das Verstellen der Höhenposition des ausziehbaren Geschirrkorbs 10 notwendigen Elemente, insbesondere der in dem Korbstützblech 1 mit entsprechender Aussparung 3 schwenkbar gelagerte Verstellhebel 2 mit Rasthaken 6, unmittelbar an dem Korbstützblech 1 angeordnet sind. Die Verstellvorrichtung gemäß dem Gegenstand der Erfindung ist daher äußerst einfach am Geschirrkorb 10 montierbar und verhindert dennoch sicher, dass Geschirrteile mit der Verstellvorrichtung in Kontakt kommen.The adjusting device has a basket support plate 1, which on the formed from horizontally and vertically extending basket struts side wall of the dish rack 10, see FIG. 3 , Arranged and with preferably a plurality of - in the example a total of three - on the side facing the washing compartment located rollers 5 is provided. These rollers 5 move when pulling out of the dish rack 10 on a basket guide rail - see, for example, reference numeral 13 in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 - which is usually located near the Spülbehälterwand. The basket support plate 1 is mounted vertically displaceable on the basket struts and can be fixed via an adjusting lever 2 in different height positions on the dish rack 10. The adjusting lever 2 is mounted according to the invention on the Korbstützblech 1 and pivotally mounted with its lever end 2 'in a recess 3 of the basket support plate 1. At this end of the lever 2 'is directed towards the basket interior - ie located on the back - located in the recess 3 latching hooks 6, see FIG. 2 , Preferably, the latching hook 6 is triangular in shape and is located at the edge of the recess 3 to the swinging of the adjusting lever 2 as early as possible and with little effort disengaging the Korbstützbleches 1 from the dish rack 10, ie from the horizontally extending basket strut in which it is fixed to effect. Due to the triangular shape of the latching hook 6 results, as shown in the additional side view of the latching hook 6 in FIG. 2 can be seen, a large run-up slope 6 'of the latching hook, whereby the adjustment of the dish rack 10 from the lower height position to the upper height position without actuation of the adjusting lever 2 is possible. The adjusting device according to the invention becomes. The adjusting device according to the invention thus represents a self-contained and compact unit, since the necessary for adjusting the height position of the extendable dish rack 10 elements, in particular in the basket support plate 1 with corresponding recess 3 pivotally mounted adjusting lever 2 with latching hooks 6, directly to the basket support plate 1 are arranged. The adjusting device according to the object of the invention is therefore extremely easy to mount on the dish rack 10 and still prevents sure that dishes come into contact with the adjustment.

Nach der Montage der Verstellvorrichtung an dem Geschirrkorb 10 wird die Verstellvorrichtung durch Verstemmen einer nur in Figur 1 gezeigten, aus dem Korbstützblech 1 freigestanzten Sicherungslasche 1' zur Korbinnenseite hin am Geschirrkorb 10 fixiert, wodurch die Verstellvorrichtung ohne zusätzliches Teil gegen unbeabsichtigtes Lösen vom Geschirrkorb 10 gesichert ist und eine weitere Vereinfachung in der Montage erzielt wird.After installation of the adjustment of the dish rack 10, the adjustment is by caulking a only in FIG. 1 shown, from the basket support plate 1 free punched securing tab 1 'fixed to the basket inside towards the dish rack 10, whereby the adjustment is secured without additional part against unintentional release of the dish rack 10 and further simplification in the assembly is achieved.

Durch den am schwenkbaren Hebelende 2' angeordneten, zum Korbinneren gerichteten, in der Aussparung 3 befindlichen Rasthaken 6 rasten Verstellhebel 2 und Korbstützblech 1 nach Bewegung des Geschirrkorbs 10 von einer unteren Höhenposition in eine obere Höhenposition an einer horizontal verlaufenden Korbstrebe selbsttätig ein. Nach Betätigen eines am anderen Hebelende angeordneten Handgriffteils 2" in Richtung des Korbinneren rasten Verstellhebel 2 und Korbstützblech 1 von der horizontal verlaufenden Korbstrebe aus, und der Geschirrkorb 10 bewegt sich automatisch von einer oberen Höhenposition in eine untere Höhenposition. Dadurch kann bei der Verstellvorrichtung gemäß dem Gegenstand der Erfindung in vorteilhafter Weise auf jeweils gegenüber einer üblichen Rastnase liegende Rasten bzw. Stützvorsprünge verzichtet werden, was weniger Teile und gegenseitiges Zusammenwirken bedeutet. Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung gegenüber bekannten Verstellvorrichtungen besteht darin, dass durch die Lagerung des Verstellhebels 2 mit Rasthaken 6 direkt in dem Korbstützblech 1 selbst dieser Hebel 2 in Bezug zur Geschirrspülmaschine immer an der gleichen Stelle verbleibt, d.h. er verändert seine Lage - mit Ausnahme der in vertikaler Richtung beabsichtigten Position - beim Verstellen der Höhenposition des ausziehbaren Geschirrkorbs 10 nicht. Dies verbessert die Stabilität der Verstellvorrichtung ganz erheblich.By arranged on the pivotable end of the lever 2 ', directed towards the basket interior, located in the recess 3 latching lever 2 and 2 Korbstützblech 1 automatically move after moving the dish rack 10 from a lower height position to an upper height position on a horizontally extending basket handle automatically. Upon actuation of a handle part 2 "arranged in the direction of the interior of the basket at the other end of the lever, the adjusting lever 2 and the basket support plate 1 are released from the horizontally extending basket, and the dish rack 10 automatically moves from an upper height position to a lower height position Another advantage of the invention compared to known adjusting devices is that by the storage of the adjusting lever 2 with latching hooks 6 directly in the Korbstützblech 1 even this lever 2 with respect to the dishwasher always remains in the same place, ie it changes its position - with the exception of the intended position in the vertical direction - when adjusting the height position of ausziehb not a basket of crockery 10. This considerably improves the stability of the adjusting device.

Der Verstellhebel 2 ist mit einer am Hebelende 2' angreifenden Feder - von der in Figur 1 und Figur 2 nur die Federbeine 4 sichtbar sind, während der Federkörper in dem schwenkbaren Hebelende 2' eingebaut ist - gekoppelt, durch die nach Betätigen des Handgriffteils 2" in Richtung des Korbinneren der Verstellhebel 2 in der entgegengesetzten Richtung rückschwenkbar ist und damit nach dem Entkoppeln des Geschirrkorbs 10 von dem Korbstützblech 1 - durch Betätigen des Handgriffteils 2" - der Verstellhebel 2 nicht durch den Benutzer sondern automatisch in die Ausgangslage zurückschwenkt.The adjusting lever 2 is provided with a spring acting on the lever end 2 '- from the in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 only the struts 4 are visible, while the spring body in the pivotable end of the lever 2 'is installed - coupled, is pivoted by pressing the handle part 2 "in the direction of the basket interior of the adjusting lever 2 in the opposite direction and thus after decoupling the dish rack 10th of the Korbstützblech 1 - by pressing the handle part 2 "- the adjusting lever 2 is not pivoted back by the user but automatically in the starting position.

Vorzugsweise ist auf dem Korbstützblech 1 der Verstellhebel 2 gemeinsam mit den Laufrollen 5 angebracht, was zu einer noch kompakteren und einfacher montierbaren - weil möglichst viele Elemente aufweisenden - Verstellvorrichtung führt. Es hat sich auch als günstig erwiesen, wenn der Verstellhebel 2 nahe der Oberkante des Korbstützbleches 1 in der Aussparung 3 schwenkbar gelagert ist, weil dadurch die geringste Betätigungskraft zum Entkoppeln des Geschirrkorbs 10 von dem Korbstützblech 1 - durch Betätigen des Handgriffteils 2" - vom Benutzer aufzuwenden ist. Das Korbstützblech 1 weist außerdem an seinen Enden mehrere Führungselemente 7, die die vertikal verlaufenden Korbstreben der Seitenwand des Geschirrkorbs 10 zumindest teilweise umgreifen. Auf diese Weise erfährt die mit mehreren Elementen versehene Verstellvorrichtung einen stabilen Halt in der Seitenwand des Geschirrkorbs 10. Auch ist zumindest an einem der Enden des Korbstützbleches 1 ein weiteres Führungselemente 8 zur Führung einer horizontal verlaufenden Korbstrebe der zum Geschirrkorb 10 gehörigen Seitenwand vorgesehen.The latching hook 6 is advantageously provided with an undercut 9, whereby the operating force for adjusting the pull-out dish rack 10 automatically adjusts its loading state - which may range from partially to fully stocked - adapts. Preferably, the adjusting lever 2 is mounted on the basket support plate 1 together with the rollers 5, resulting in an even more compact and easier to assemble - because as many elements having - adjusting leads. It has also proven to be advantageous if the adjusting lever 2 is pivotally mounted near the top of the basket support plate 1 in the recess 3, because thereby the lowest operating force for decoupling the dish rack 10 of the basket support plate 1 - by pressing the handle part 2 "- by the user The basket support plate 1 also has at its ends a plurality of guide elements 7 which at least partially surround the vertically extending basket members of the side wall of the crockery basket 10. In this way, the multi-element adjustment device experiences a stable hold in the side wall of the crockery basket 10. Also At least at one of the ends of the basket support plate 1, a further guide elements 8 for guiding a horizontally extending basket strut of the crockery basket 10 associated side wall is provided.
