Description

The invention relates to a domestic appliance, in particular a dishwasher, wherein the household appliance comprises a container for receiving material to be machined, in the installed position at least one force transducer, in particular for support against a surrounding kitchen furniture or a wall in an installed state and / or for support against external forces in a stacked or raised state during transport or intermediate storage, associated with, according to the preamble of claim 1.

There are numerous household appliances known that have a container for processing of imported goods. Such a container may be, for example in a dishwasher, a washing container provided with spray arm (s) and / or spray nozzles and one or more dish racks. Such a container is conventionally held in a surrounding it at a distance and substantially cuboidal housing. It is known to arrange on upper edges of the housing brackets over which the housing is fixable in a kitchen furniture, for example via screws. However, this requires the presence of such an outer housing, moreover, with the said brackets additional and additionally to be mounted on site components required.

Recently found for the installation in kitchen furniture such household appliances use that for the purpose of material and weight savings no complete outer housing more, so that at least in the upper region, the outer wall of said container substantially simultaneously forms the outer contour of the household appliance. Nevertheless, a Abstandspahrung and support of the household appliance on the surrounding kitchen furniture and / or a room wall is also required here to ensure a backlash-free fit. Likewise, here is a resistance to deformation by external force during transport or intermediate storage z. B. by forklift ensure. This also applies to such household appliances, which indeed have an outer housing, which itself is not formed so stable that it could counteract said external forces. Again, there are then between the housing and the container Provide force transducer of which prevent too high a load on the housing and / or container.

Therefore, - especially at the upper corner regions of the container - often outside so-called. Force sensors, for example made of plastic, anmontiert, in particular for support against a surrounding kitchen furniture or a wall in an installed state and / or to support against external forces in a stacked or raised Condition during transport or an intermediate storage serve.

Anmontage is currently done by screwing the force transducer to the container. For this it is necessary that the screws are manually fixed by drilling the force transducer on the container, so that the assembly cost is relatively high and at least permanently is not excluded when using a screw per force transducer and a rotation of the respective force transducer with respect to its desired position.

The invention is based on the problem of creating a simple mountable attachment option for the container externally assigned force transducer for a household appliance.

The invention solves this problem by a household appliance, in particular a dishwasher, with the features of claim 1. Further advantages and features and further developments of the invention are specified in claims 2 to 16.

By the invention, a household appliance is created, which requires no or only a mechanically light and thin trained housing outside of a container for receiving material to be processed. Nevertheless, it may be z. B. in an installed state about its one or more inventively designed force transducer against a surrounding kitchen furniture, such as adjacent cabinets or a countertop, and / or held against a wall at a distance and supported thereon. Also before a deforming action of external forces in a stacked or raised state during transport or Interim storage, it is protected. It is characterized in that the or each force transducer is provided with at least one open, in particular edge-open or enclosed recess engages in the mounted position of the respective force transducer at least one associated with the outer edge of the container tab or similar hook-like holder, a fuse of the respective force transducer achieved on the container without this would have to take a screw or similar time-consuming installation. The assembly is thereby accelerated and facilitated. Separate fasteners, such as screws, are no longer required, so that material is saved.

Particularly favorable for a support upwards (stackability) and towards the sides (gripping by a transport tongs) or the force transducer or are held at the upper corner regions of the container.

In particular, the tab or a similar hook-like holder can be formed during assembly of the respective force transducer by a folded over, so that this one-time application of force in only one direction can be sufficient. Optionally, the respective tab may be formed by a plurality of folds. In particular, the respective folded edge can also be designed in several directions.

Conveniently, the folded edge of the tab or other support by a retracting into the recess punch is automatically effected, for example, a hydraulically actuated punch, so that no manual action is required.

If the punch has a horizontal feed direction parallel to an outer surface of the container, the alignment of container and punch is simplified to each other. There may be relatively large tolerances without jeopardizing the result. In particular, a plurality of punches for edge-over of the corresponding holders for a plurality of force transducers extend simultaneously to accelerate the assembly.

In terms of production, it is particularly advantageous for the use of the stamping method mentioned, the tab or other hook-like support from a container rear wall or a substantially upright flange push out. In this case, from the rear wall or the flange, a partial area, in particular by about 70 ° to 90 °, are bent forward and thereby position-locking engage in the recess of the force transducer, in particular then press firmly against the container.

If the recess opens into a channel extending in the depth direction of the domestic appliance and the tab (s) or other hook-like holder (s) is or are applied to at least one wall of the respective channel, the force acting on the container can be applied be distributed over a long extended portion of the force transducer.

If necessary, the fold-over can be made around a plurality of bending lines, so that a plurality of tabs or the like are formed with only one punch and these hold particularly advantageous to the respective load cell both vertically downwards and horizontally to the transverse center and secure backlash.

The compressible portion of the container rear wall or a flange can be defined favorably by boundary boundaries of the recesses on the force transducers. Then the fold occurs exactly where they optimally stand in relation to the respective load cell. The alignment between load cell and container during assembly can be done with generous tolerances.

A facilitated pressing out of the portion is then made possible if one or more introduced before mounting in the container rear wall or the upright flange notches or cutouts are present, in particular punched, which can be easily introduced into the relatively thin sheet metal. These cutouts do not have to directly draw the Umbantungslinien, but only allow the edges.

The load cell can be designed as lightweight and inexpensive in mass production plastic injection molded parts.

In particular, said force transducer can be provided at two opposite upper corner regions, wherein for the stability of the household appliance favorably from the force transducers both a stiffening of the container and a distance bridging can be effected to the receiving kitchen furniture.

Force transducers of the type mentioned may be assigned both to the left and right upper corner region of a rear wall and to the front corner regions on a reinforcing frame surrounding the mouth region of the container at least in regions.

Such a reinforcing frame, for example of metal, is often used in such a container, which is substantially parallelepipedic and open on one side and facing a door opening. The reinforcing frame is then optimally arranged on the outside above this side facing the door opening like a portal in the form of a downwardly open U on the upper side and at least in upper lateral areas. Then, such a household appliance can have a high stability even without completely encircling housing, and it can, for example, up to six of these devices are stacked on each other. Even when transporting two household appliances can simultaneously from a clamping pliers z. B. a forklift.

If the reinforcing frame is U-shaped or L-shaped in cross-section and has at least one web region projecting outwardly from the outer wall of the container, it is favorable to fix the front load cell or transducers on this at least one web region, in particular to fix or fasten it.

The above-explained and / or reproduced in the subclaims advantageous embodiments and refinements of the invention can - in addition to z. B. in cases of clear dependencies or incompatible alternatives - individually or in any combination with each other.

This in FIG. 1 shown, electrically operable household appliance 1 forms an example of a dishwasher. Other household appliances may also be designed according to the invention, for example washing machines, tumble dryers, steamer ovens, microwave ovens, built-in ovens or the like.

The illustrated dishwasher 1 comprises a container 2 for receiving material to be processed, here a washing container for receiving items to be cleaned, such as crockery, glasses, cutlery, cooking utensils or the like, wherein the container 2 according to the drawing on its front side facing a user has a loading and unloading, which is closed by a door - not shown. This can, for example, swing down. In this open position, therefore, the household appliance 1 can be in a front-heavy position, which can be even more pronounced in particular when the baskets are pulled out (not shown here). Among other things so that the household appliance 1 can not tip forward (and also for stacking a plurality of devices or for transport, in particular with gripper tongs eg of a stacker), a plurality of force sensors 4, 5, 6 assigned to the upper region of the device 1 are , 7 is provided, is counteracted by the transport and stacking a deforming external force and / or over which it is secured in its installed position with respect to a receiving kitchen furniture. These load cells 4, 5, 6, 7 hold in the installed position a constant distance from the surrounding kitchen furniture or a lateral wall or during transport over other devices or jaws of a grasping forceps. This also applies to the distance to a side wall 8, which may be provided with the household appliance 1. Likewise, on the force transducer 4, 5, 6, 7 and a top-side cover plate of the device 1 halterbar (not shown here), if the device 1 is to be used alone.

Another type of door opening is possible. Alternatively, a door could be arranged at the top of the container 2.

Since the household appliance 1 drawn in the exemplary embodiment is installed in the kitchen furniture, it does not necessarily have such side walls 8, which - outside the container 2 standing and connected to this - project beyond this container 2 upwards, as in FIG. 2 is shown. Rather, as in FIG. 1 is shown, only a low side wall 9 may be provided in the lower region of the household appliance 1, so that in addition to the upper corners 13, 14, 15, 16 no side wall portions or other parts of an outer housing are present.

The force sensors 4, 5, 6, 7 are therefore arranged on the container 2, regardless of the presence and formation of an outer housing surrounding the container 2.

According to the drawing, both front, so the front opening 3 facing upper corner regions 15, 16 and rear, a rear wall 10 top corner portions 13, 14 are each provided with force transducers 4, 5, 6, 7, both a stiffening of the container. 2 as well as a distance bridging can cause and prevent the container 2 is deformed. Such load cells are therefore generally common in built-in appliances. Their number can vary.

Unlike known force transducer, which are formed for example of styrofoam and hold at the corner areas only in that a high side wall 8 clamps the force transducer between itself and the container 2, here is the at least one force transducer 4, 5, 6, 7 as plastic Injection molding formed and held independently on the container 2.

The container 2 may for example consist entirely of stainless steel or be composed of several units, for example, also from a plastic floor unit and a stainless steel hood unit. According to the drawing, the container 2 is substantially parallelepiped-shaped and, in the vicinity of its open front side 3, has a reinforcing frame 11 surrounding it at least in regions. This is provided on the outside of the container 2 and above the front door opening with a cross member 12 here. From there extend vertically downwards along at least upper portions of the sides of the container 2 downwardly facing side legs 17 of the reinforcing frame 11. In front view, the reinforcing frame according to FIG. 7 approximately the shape of a downwardly open U.

The reinforcing frame 11 shown here is anyway required or at least advantageous for the formation of a stackability of such household appliances 1, so that it does not form an additional component. The frame member 11 is metallic, such as steel, formed and welded to the container 2 linear or at several points. For example, in dishwashers, up to six household appliances 1 reinforced with such a frame part 11 can be stacked one above the other. With such a frame part 11 reinforced household appliances 1 can also individually or simultaneously to several laterally within a clamping pliers z. B. a forklift and are transported.

The reinforcing frame 11 is here also in cross-section U- or L-shaped and has two mutually parallel and spaced web or flange portions 11a and 11b, to which one or more front (r) force transducer 6, 7 can be attached or can , In this case, the respective force transducer is preferably located in a plane spanned by the height direction and width direction of the washing container.

In the following an embodiment for the attachment of the rear force transducer 4, 5 will be described. It is understood, however, that such a type of fastening can also be provided for front load cells 6, 7 and in each case for at least one of the force transducers 4, 5, 6, 7 up to all load cells.

According to the drawing up FIG. 10 are the force transducer 4, 5, which are attached to the upper corners 13, 14 of the rear wall 10, with at least one open or enclosed, channel-like recess 18 provided in the mounted position of the respective force transducer 5, 6 at least one outer edge of the container 2, here two the upper edge of the rear wall 10, associated tabs 19, 20, or similar hook-like holder (s) engages or intervene. The channel-like recess 18 preferably extends in the depth direction of the washing container.

Alternatively, in FIG. 11 a round recess 18 drawn at the edge region of a continuous, also rounded tab 33 is formed after the below-described stamping method (crimping), which rests against the inner wall 18c of the circular recess 18. It thus creates a cup-like character. Again, a secure connection of force transducer 4, 5 and 2 container is guaranteed.

Other shapes are possible. The recess 18 may be open to the edge or arranged as a universally enclosed channel in the force transducer 4, 5, 6, 7.

In the first embodiment, the rear wall 10, which is formed for example of stainless steel and may be provided at its lateral and upper edge regions with folded folds 21 to improve stability, provided with an approximately L-shaped notch or a cutout 22 formed, for example by punching may be and comprises a transverse from the vertical edge region inwardly extending first leg 23 and from there upwards continuing second leg 24. Such a punched-out can retain its sharp edges which are created in order to be able to cut into the plastic of the force transducers 4, 5 during the bending described in more detail below. This training is only exemplary and in each case adapted to the - here rectangular - edge contour of the channel-like recess 18 in the force transducer 3 or 4, at the edge edges of the tabs 19, 20 by folding around the bending edges 25, 26 arise (in the second embodiment FIG. 11 creates a curved bending edge). The bending edge 25 is in continuation of the upstanding leg 24 of the notch 22, which thus predetermines a predetermined bending line. A material dilution or the like must not be provided for the bending edges 25, 26, however.

In order to allow the clinching, the load cells 3, 4 each comprise a front and a rear body 28, 29, which are connected to each other, however leave a vertical gap 30 between them ( FIG. 10 ), in which the rear wall 10 can stand with its container 2 above and laterally projecting edge regions. By way of illustration, the virtual plane 27 extending laterally and upwardly in the backplane 10 is shown in FIG FIG. 10 marked with.

During assembly, a punch in the direction 31 is pressed into a, for example, rear through-passage 32 of the rear body 29, which meets after passing through the body 29 on the rear wall 10 and this against the edge and in the flush passage to the passage 32 lying recess 18 of front body 28 presses, so that at the edges of this recess 18, the tab 19 around the vertical bending line 25 in the direction of the arrow 25a and at the same time the tab 20 are formed by bending up in the direction of the arrow 26a about the bending line 26. In this case, at least the lower flap 20 also cuts into the edge of the channel 18, so that there is a crimping. The tabs 20, 19 or similar hook-like brackets formed by the fold of the respective force transducer 4, 5 are thus on a lower surface 18 a and on a side surface 18 b of the force transducer 5 drawn here and thus secure the force transducer 5 both transversely inside as well as down, so that it is firmly pressed in two directions to the container 2.

The described folded over of the holder by a recess 18 in the horizontal feed direction 31 parallel to side walls of the container 2 retracting punch is automatically effected, so that no turning of a screwdriver or other manual operation is required, as required in the prior art and the in FIG. 4 drawn bore and therein einzudrehender screw is indicated. Depending on space, the stamp can dip from the front or from behind. Often a dipping from behind for the area of the rear wall 10 is cheaper.

By stamping engagement 31, the tabs 19, 20 or other hook-like holder formed thereby are pushed out of the container rear wall 10 (or forwardly from an upright web-like flange 11a, 11b and in particular about 70 ° to 90 ° about the axes 25, 26th bent.

The recess 18 forms a channel extending in the depth direction of the domestic appliance, so that the tab (s) 19, 20 or other hook-like holder (s) can be applied flatly to its inner walls 18a, 18b and thereby crimped also in the plastic can cut. In particular, a positive engagement of the latches 19, 20, 33 results, with which the force sensors 4, 5, 6, 7 thus formed can be fixed. Due to the geometry of the tab 19, 20, 33 of the force transducer 4, 5, 6, 7 is automatically used to the container 2. Thus, it is prevented that the force transducer 4, 5, 6, 7 wrong or wrong sitting on the container 2.

In particular, a plurality of force transducers (for example 4, 5) can be designed as identical parts and can optionally be attached to the right or left.

The shape of the tabs 19, 20 is determined by the edge boundaries of the recesses 18 on the force transducers 4, 5, which define the bending lines 25, 26. It can also per force sensor 4, 5 more than such a recess 18 may be provided, as well as more than one notch 22nd

With the invention, multiple or all screwing the load cell on the container 2 can be omitted. The assembly is simplified. The crimping process described generates by its automatic process no labor costs, so that these - as well as material for no longer required additional fasteners - can be saved. The introduction of a notch 22 can be automated and without labor costs.

A peripheral housing, on the upper edges of brackets can be easily screwed, is dispensed with the household appliance according to the invention, but may nevertheless be provided. Even then, the inventive design unfold advantages, additional strips, hooks, external tabs or similar additional components are not needed. The same force transducers 4, 5, 6, 7 can be used in any external embodiment.
