Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Wäschebehandlungsmaschine, insbesondere einen Wäschetrockner, welche an einer Gehäusefrontseite eine Beschickungsöffnung aufweist, die mit einer Tür verschließbar ist, wobei die Tür aus einem mittels einem Scharnier schwenkbaren und mittels eines Schließklobens verschließbaren Türträgerring besteht, an dem mindestens ein Türblendring befestigt ist.The invention relates to a laundry treatment machine, in particular a clothes dryer, which has a loading opening on a housing front, which is closable with a door, wherein the door consists of a hinged by means of a hinge and closable by means of a closing door carrier ring on which at least one door bezel is attached.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Wäschetrockner mit Beschickungsöffnungen an der Frontseite des Maschinengehäuses bekannt. Die Beschickungsöffnung wird mit einer Tür verschlossen, welche mittels einem Scharnier schwenkbar an der Gehäusefront gelagert ist. Gegenüber dem Scharnier ist ein Schließkloben angeordnet, der in die Gehäusefrontseite eingreift und dort verriegelt werden kann. Die Tür als solches besteht hierbei aus einem ringförmigen Türträger, der einerseits ein als Schauglas ausgebildeten Topf aufnimmt bzw. an diesem befestigt ist. An dem ringförmigen Türträger ist einerseits von außen und von innen jeweils ein Türblendring vorgesehen, der den Türträgerring mit den Scharnieren und dem Schließkloben abdeckt.Dryers with feed openings on the front side of the machine housing are known from the prior art. The loading opening is closed by a door, which is mounted by means of a hinge pivotally mounted on the housing front. Opposite the hinge, a locking pin is arranged, which engages in the housing front side and can be locked there. The door as such here consists of an annular door support, on the one hand receives a trained as a sight glass pot or is attached to this. On the annular door support, on the one hand from the outside and from the inside in each case a door trim ring is provided, which covers the door support ring with the hinges and the locking bolt.

Zur Festlegung der Türblendringe sind unterschiedliche Fügeverfahren bekannt, wobei hier beispielsweise ein Klebeverbund, ein Schweißverbund, ein Nietverbund oder ein Klemmverbund möglich sind. Da jedoch der extrem schmale Rand des Türträgers vom Design vorgegeben wird, weist der sehr schmale Rand wenig Möglichkeiten für eine kostengünstige Verbindungstechnik auf.To define the door panel rings different joining methods are known, in which case, for example, an adhesive composite, a welded composite, a rivet or a composite connection are possible. However, since the extremely narrow edge of the door carrier is dictated by the design, the very narrow edge has little opportunity for a cost-effective connection technology.

Die vordere Baugruppe besteht hierbei aus der Türaußenblende, wobei die hintere Baugruppe aus dem Türträger, der Türinnenblende, den Kappen für das Scharnier und der Kappe für den Schließkloben besteht. Die Bauteile sollen hierbei möglichst kostengünstig verbunden werden. Die vorgeschlagenen Verbindungsarten, wie Schweißen, Nieten, Kleben oder Klemmen, sind hierbei ungünstig, da Bauteilsichtflächen durch den Fügeprozess und den Kontakt der Füge-Aktoren negativ beeinflusst würden. Kleben wäre bei den Designvorgaben möglich, ist jedoch ein kostenungünstiger Prozessschritt. Ein Klemmen in Axialrichtung wäre für eine wirtschaftliche Montageprozessführung optimal, wobei dagegen spricht, dass die Bauraumhöhe hierbei zu gering ist.The front assembly here consists of the outside door panel, the rear assembly consists of the door support, the door inner panel, the hinges for the hinge and the cap for the locking bolt. The components should be connected as inexpensively as possible. The proposed types of connection, such as welding, riveting, gluing or clamping, are unfavorable because component viewing surfaces would be adversely affected by the joining process and the contact of the joining actuators. Gluing would be possible with the design specifications, but is a cost-inefficient process step. Clamping in the axial direction would be optimal for an economical assembly process management, although speaks against the fact that the space height is too low here.

Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem eine geeignete Fügetechnik für den Türblendring am ringförmigen Türträger bereitzustellen, der einerseits die geschilderten Nachteile überwindet, wobei die Fügung kostengünstig auf engem Bauraum ermöglicht werden soll.The invention thus provides the problem of providing a suitable joining technique for the door aperture ring on the annular door support, which on the one hand overcomes the disadvantages described, wherein the joining is to be made possible cost-effective in a confined space.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.According to the invention, this problem is solved by the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention will become apparent from the following subclaims.

Die mit der Erfindung erreichten Vorteile bestehen darin, dass ein Verrasten in radialer Ausrichtung im gegebenen Bauraum möglich ist. Mittels eines Bajonettverschlusses kann die Verrastung in einem geringen Bauraum vorgenommen werden. Hier werden beide Baugruppen z. B. 3° am Türumfang gegeneinander verdreht, um die platzsparende Verbindung herzustellen. Pro Bajonettstelle gibt es eine Rastung, die aus einer Vertiefung und einem Gegennocken besteht. Damit die Türbaugruppe nicht durch Fehlbenutzung wieder geöffnet werden kann, werden die vordere und die hintere Türbaugruppe gegeneinander verriegelt. Dies geschieht mit horizontalen Stegen in den Türkappen, die am Scharnier und am Schließkloben den inneren Türblendring vervollständigen. Diese Stege greifen in Ausnehmungen der vorderen Türbaugruppe, so dass der Bajonettverschluss nicht geöffnet werden kann, solange die Kappen in ihrer Sollposition sind. Nur beim Umscharnieren der Tür müssen die Kappen zur Scharnier- und Schließklobendemontage kurzfristig entfernt werden. Für den Kundendienst hat der Bajonettverschluss einen weiteren positiven Effekt, wenn ein Defekt an der vorderen Baugruppe auftreten sollte, so besteht nun die Möglichkeit des Austausches des Türblendringes, ohne dass die komplette Tür ersetzt werden muss.The advantages achieved by the invention are that a locking in radial alignment in the given space is possible. By means of a bayonet lock the locking can be made in a small space. Here are both modules z. B. 3 ° on the door circumference rotated against each other to make the space-saving connection. There is a detent per bayonet point, which consists of a recess and a counter cam. So that the door assembly can not be reopened by misuse, the front and the rear door assembly are locked against each other. This is done with horizontal bars in the door flaps, which complete the inner door trim ring on the hinge and on the locking pin. These webs engage in recesses of the front door assembly so that the bayonet catch can not be opened while the caps are in their desired position. Only when hinging the door, the caps for hinged and closed box removal must be removed at short notice. For customer service, the bayonet lock has another positive effect, if a defect in the front assembly should occur, there is now the possibility of replacing the door trim ring, without the entire door must be replaced.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, dass zumindest ein Türblendring durch eine radiale Verrasterung an dem Türträger festgelegt ist. Gemäß der Erfindung sind hierzu die Verrastungen als Bajonettverschluss zwischen dem Türträgerring und dem Blendring angeordnet. Der Bajonettverschluss als solches ist über den Umfang von Türträgerring und Türblendring verteilt angeordnet. Somit ergibt sich über den gesamten Umfang ein verschlusssicheres Verrasten des Blendringes an dem Türträgerring, dessen Verbindung bei Bedarf werkzeuglos wieder gelöst werden kann.According to the invention it is proposed that at least one door panel ring is fixed by a radial Verrasterung on the door support. According to the invention for this purpose, the locks are arranged as a bayonet between the door support ring and the blind ring. The bayonet closure as such is arranged distributed over the circumference of door support ring and door trim ring. Thus, over the entire circumference results in a fail-safe locking of the blind ring on the door support ring, the connection can be solved without tools if necessary.

Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung bestehen die einzelnen Verrastungen aus einem am Türträgerring angeformten Federsteg, der mit einem an dem Türblendring angeformten Klemmsteg zusammenwirkt. Dabei sind der Federsteg an dem Türträgerring einerseits und der Klemmsteg an dem Türblendring andererseits parallel zueinander ausgerichtet angeordnet.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the individual latching consist of a molded on the door support ring spring bar, which cooperates with an integrally formed on the door panel ring clamping web. In this case, the spring bar on the door carrier ring on the one hand and the clamping bar on the door trim ring on the other hand are arranged aligned parallel to each other.

Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung weist zur Verrastung der Bajonettverbindungen der Federsteg eine Vertiefung auf, die mit einem am Klemmsteg angeordneten Nocken zusammenwirkt. Dadurch ergibt sich im zusammengefügten Zustand eine Verrasterung, die den einzelnen Bajonettverschluss selbsthaltend ausführt.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, for latching the bayonet joints of the spring bar on a recess which cooperates with a cam arranged on the clamping web. This results in the assembled state a Verrasterung that performs the individual bayonet locking self-holding.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind der Federsteg und der Klemmsteg bei einer Drehung des Türblendrings am Türträgerring in eine parallele verrastende Verschlusslage bringbar.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the spring bar and the clamping bar are engageable with a rotation of the door panel on the door support ring in a parallel locking locking position.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist an dem Klemmsteg ein Sperrsteg zur Begrenzung der Verschlussdrehung vorgesehen. Hierbei sind die zwischen Türträgerring und Türblendring wirkenden Bajonettverschlüsse mittels an dem Türträgerring ansetzbaren Abdeckkappen am Scharnierbereich einerseits und am Schließklobenbereich andererseits verriegelbar ausgeführt. Zur Verriegelung sind hierzu an der Rückseite des Türblendringes Haltenasen angeformt, die durch eine Öffnung am Türträgerring ragen, so dass an der Rückseite des Türträgerringes ein an der Abdeckkappe im angesetzten Zustand angeformter Rasthaken über die Haltenase greifen kann.In a further development of the invention, a barrier web for limiting the rotation of the shutter is provided on the clamping web. In this case, the bayonet locks acting between the door carrier ring and the door panel ring are designed to be lockable on the hinge area on the one hand and on the lock pin area on the other hand by means of cover caps which can be attached to the door carrier ring. For locking purposes retaining lugs are formed for this purpose at the back of the door trim ring, which protrude through an opening on the door support ring, so that at the rear of the door support ring a molded on the cap in the attached state latching hook can reach over the retaining lug.

Die Figur 1 zeigt in explosionsartiger Darstellung eine Tür 1 eines Wäschetrockners. Diese dient zum Verschluss einer Beschickungsöffnung an der Gehäusefrontseite, über die der Zugriff auf eine in dem Gehäuse drehbar gelagerten Trommel erfolgt. Der Trockner selbst mit seinem Gehäuse und seiner Trommel sind in den Figuren nicht dargestellt, da er für die Beschreibung der Erfindung nicht wesentlich ist. Die Tür 1 ist mittels eines Scharniers 2 schwenkbar an dem Wäschetrockner gelagert. Sie besitzt einen Schließkloben 3, der in ein am Trockner angeordnetes Türschloss (nicht dargestellt) eingreift und über den die Tür 1 in der Verschlussposition gehalten wird. Scharnier 2 und Schließkloben 3 sind an einem Türträgerring 4 befestigt. An dem Türträgerring 4 sind außerdem Türblendringe, nämlich an der nach außen gerichteten Vorderseite eine Türaußenblende 5 und an der zum Trommelinneren gerichteten Rückseite eine Türinnenblende 6 angeordnet. Die Türinnenblende 6 trägt, wie in der Figur 1 erkennbar ist, ein topfförmiges Türschauglas 61. Zumindest die Türaußenblende 5 ist mittels radial angeordneten Verrastungen an dem Türträgerring 4 festgelegt. Die Figuren 2 und 3 zeigen die Herstellung der Verrastungen, Figur 4 eine Verrastung im Rastzustand. Die Verrastungen werden nach Art eines Bajonettverschlusses erzeugt, der zwischen dem ringartigen Türträgerring 4 und der Türaußenblende 5 angeordnet ist. Dabei sind die Verrastungen über den Umfang von Türträgerring 4 und Türaußenblende 5 verteilt angeordnet. Die einzelne Verrastung besteht, wie in den Figuren 2, 3 und 4 erkennbar ist, aus einem am Türträgerring 4 angeordneten Federsteg 41, der mit einem an der Türaußenblende 5 angeordneten Klemmsteg 51 zusammenwirkt. Diese Darstellung der zusammenwirkenden Verrastung im Rastzustand zeigt insbesondere die Figur 4, wo in der geschnittenen Darstellung erkennbar ist, dass der Federsteg 41 und der Klemmsteg 51 durch gegensinniges Verdrehen Türaußenblende 5 und Türringträger 4 zueinander in eine Eingriffs- und Rastlage gefügt werden. Dabei sind der Federsteg 41 an dem Türträger 4 einerseits und der Federsteg 51 an dem Türblendring 6 andererseits parallel zueinander ausgerichtet. Zur Sicherung des Bajonettverschlusses weist der Federsteg 41 eine Vertiefung 42 auf, die mit einem am Klemmsteg10 angeordneten Nocken 52 zusammenwirkt. Dies ist beispielsweise aus den Figuren 2 und 3 zu erkennen, wo der Nocken 52 sich unterhalb des Klemmstegs 51 erstreckt, und der Federsteg 41 sich mit seiner Vertiefung 42 unterhalb des Klemmstegs 51 mit seinem Nocken 52 schiebt, so dass sich dadurch die Verrasterung, wie dies in der Figur 4 gezeigt ist, ergibt. Dadurch ergibt sich ein Selbsthalteeffekt bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verrastung des Bajonettverschlusses. Dabei sind der Federsteg 41 und der Federsteg 51 bei einer 3°-Drehung der Türaußenblende 5 am Türträgerring 4 in eine parallele verrastende Verschlusslage bringbar. Wie insbesondere aus den Figuren 3 und 4 erkennbar ist, ist an dem Federsteg 51 ein Sperrsteg 53 zur Begrenzung der Verschlussdrehung vorgesehen. Das heißt, dass insbesondere das vordere freie Ende des Klemmsteges 51 im geschlossenen Zustand des Bajonettverschlusses gegen den Sperrsteg 53 stößt.The FIG. 1 shows an exploded view of a door 1 of a clothes dryer. This serves to close a feed opening on the housing front side, via which access to a rotatably mounted in the housing drum. The dryer itself with its housing and its drum are not shown in the figures, as it is not essential to the description of the invention. The door 1 is pivotally mounted on the clothes dryer by means of a hinge 2. It has a locking pin 3, which engages in a dryer arranged on the door lock (not shown) and through which the door 1 is held in the closed position. Hinge 2 and locking bolt 3 are fastened to a door carrier ring 4. At the door support ring 4 also door bezels, namely on the outwardly facing front door outer panel 5 and arranged on the rear side facing the drum inside a door inner panel 6. The door inner panel 6 carries, as in the FIG. 1 can be seen, a cup-shaped door sight glass 61. At least the outside door panel 5 is by means of fixed radially arranged latching on the door support ring 4. The FIGS. 2 and 3 show the production of the locks, FIG. 4 a catch in the locked state. The latches are generated in the manner of a bayonet closure, which is arranged between the ring-like door carrier ring 4 and the door outer panel 5. The latches are arranged distributed over the circumference of the door carrier ring 4 and door outer panel 5. The individual locking consists, as in the FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 It can be seen from a arranged on the door carrier ring 4 spring bar 41 which cooperates with a arranged on the outside door panel 5 clamping web 51. This representation of the cooperating latching in the latching state shows in particular the FIG. 4 where it can be seen in the sectional view that the spring bar 41 and the clamping bar 51 are joined by opposing twisting door outer panel 5 and door ring carrier 4 to each other in an engagement and detent position. The spring bar 41 on the door support 4 on the one hand and the spring bar 51 on the door panel 6 on the other hand are aligned parallel to each other. To secure the bayonet lock, the spring bar 41 has a recess 42 which cooperates with a cam 52 arranged on the clamping web10. This is for example from the FIGS. 2 and 3 to recognize where the cam 52 extends below the clamping bar 51, and the spring bar 41 pushes with its recess 42 below the clamping bar 51 with its cam 52 so that thereby the Verrasterung, as shown in the FIG. 4 shown results. This results in a self-holding effect in the latching of the bayonet closure according to the invention. In this case, the spring bar 41 and the spring bar 51 can be brought in a 3 ° rotation of the door outer panel 5 on the door carrier ring 4 in a parallel locking locking position. As in particular from the Figures 3 and 4 can be seen, a locking web 53 is provided on the spring bar 51 to limit the rotation of the shutter. This means that in particular the front free end of the clamping web 51 abuts against the blocking web 53 in the closed state of the bayonet closure.

Wie insbesondere aus den Figuren 5 und 6 zu erkennen ist, sind die zwischen dem Türträgerring 4 und der Türaußenblende 5 wirkenden Verrastungen mittels einer an dem Türträgerring 4 ansetzbaren Abdeckkappe 21 im Bereich des Scharniers 2 verriegelbar. Hierzu ist an der Kappe 21 ein Rasthaken 22 angeformt, der bei Aufstecken der Kappe 21 zur Verriegelung hinter eine angeformte Haltenase 54 an der Rückseite der Türaußenblende 5 greift. Dadurch wird eine ungewollte Verdrehung der Türaußenblende 5 gegenüber dem Türträgerring 4 unterbunden. Eine gleichwirkende Kappe 31 mit Rasthaken (nicht dargestellt) und zugehöriger Haltenase ist im Schließklobenbereich vorhanden.As in particular from the FIGS. 5 and 6 can be seen, the acting between the door carrier ring 4 and the door outer panel 5 locks by means of an attachable to the door support ring 4 cap 21 in the region of the hinge 2 can be locked. For this purpose, a latching hook 22 is integrally formed on the cap 21, which engages when plugging the cap 21 for locking behind an integrally formed retaining lug 54 on the back of the door outer panel 5. As a result, an unwanted rotation of the door outer panel 5 is prevented relative to the door carrier ring 4. An identically acting cap 31 with latching hook (not shown) and associated retaining lug is present in the locking block area.

Es versteht sich nun von selbst, dass, wenn der Türblendring 5 mit seinen Bajonettverschlüssen 8 an dem Türträgerring angesetzt ist, die Abdeckkappen 21 und 31 entsprechend an den Scharnierbereichen 2 und 3 angesetzt werden, so dass dadurch der Bajonettverschluss verriegelt ist. Soll nun beispielsweise die Türaußenblende 5 wieder von dem Türträgerring 4 gelöst werden, so sind letztendlich nur die Abdeckkappen 21 und 31 abzunehmen, so dass dann die Türaußenblende 5 entsprechend um die 3°-Drehung zurückgedreht werden kann, um sie vom Türträgerring 4 zu lösen.It goes without saying that when the door panel 5 is attached with its bayonet locks 8 on the door support ring, the caps 21 and 31 are attached to the hinge areas 2 and 3, respectively, so that thereby the bayonet lock is locked. Now, for example, the door outer panel 5 again from the door support ring. 4 be solved, so are ultimately only the covers 21 and 31 to remove, so that then the door outer panel 5 can be rotated back accordingly to the 3 ° rotation to release them from the door carrier ring 4.
