Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gehäuse für eine frontbeschickbare Wäschebehandlungsmaschine wie Waschmaschine, Waschtrockner oder Wäschetrockner, mit einem Tragrahmen für das Waschaggregat bzw. für die Trockentrommel, mit einem Bodenteil, einer Rückwand, wobei das Bodenteil und die Rückwand zu einem L-förmig abgewinkelten Rahmenelement verbunden sind, und mit Seitenwänden, einem Deckel und mit einer Frontwand, wobei oberhalb der Frontwand eine Bedienblende angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a housing for a front loading laundry treatment machine such as washing machine, washer dryer or tumble dryer, with a support frame for the Washing unit or for the drying drum, with a bottom part, a rear wall, the Bottom part and the rear wall connected to an L-shaped angled frame element are, and with side walls, a lid and with a front wall, being above the Front panel an operating panel is arranged.
Ein solches Gehäuse ist beispielsweise aus dem Gebrauchsmuster DE 86 18 331 U1 bekannt. Dabei ist an dem der Rückwand gegenüberliegenden Rand des Bodens mittig eine senkrechte Stütze angeordnet. Eine solche Konstruktion ist nur für von oben beschickbare Geräte (Toplader) geeignet, da die Stütze bei frontbeschickbaren Waschmaschinen im Bereich des Türausschnitts liegt. Bei dieser Waschmaschine sind die sichtbaren Gehäuseflächen (Seiten, Front), die entweder als C-förmiger Schalenkörper ausgebildet oder aus einzelnen Platten zusammengesetzt sind, Bestandteile des Tragrahmens, d. h., es sind keine weiteren tragenden Rahmenelemente vorhanden. Im Fertigungsprozeß müssen diese Gehäuseteile deshalb in einem sehr frühen Stadium montiert werden, da sie beispielsweise zur Befestigung des Waschaggregats dienen. Eine Montage von Waschmaschinen mit unterschiedlichen Gehäuseoberflächen (pulverbeschichtet, emailliert, Edelstahl, Farbvarianten) ist deshalb nur in verschiedenen Fertigungslinien oder nacheinander möglich. Dies erhöht die Fertigungskosten erheblich. Es besteht deshalb der Wunsch, Wäschebehandlungsgeräte so weit wie möglich als vorprüfbare Basisgeräte in einer einzigen Fertigungslinie zu montieren und erst nachträglich eine Variantenbildung durch unterschiedliche Gehäuseflächen und Bedienblenden vorzunehmen. Ein weiterer Nachteil eines C-förmigen Gehäuses mit einer tragenden Funktion besteht darin, daß es zu Reparaturzwecken nicht geöffnet werden kann.Such a housing is known for example from utility model DE 86 18 331 U1. There is a vertical one in the middle of the edge of the floor opposite the rear wall Support arranged. Such a construction is only for devices that can be loaded from above (top loader) Suitable as the support is in the area of the door cutout for front loading washing machines lies. With this washing machine, the visible housing surfaces (sides, Front), which is either designed as a C-shaped shell body or from individual plates are composed, components of the support frame, d. that is, there are no other supporting ones Frame elements available. In the manufacturing process, these housing parts must therefore in be installed at a very early stage, as they can be used, for example, to attach the washing unit to serve. An assembly of washing machines with different housing surfaces (powder-coated, enamelled, stainless steel, color variants) is therefore only available in different Production lines or one after the other. This increases the manufacturing costs considerably. There is therefore a desire to make laundry treatment equipment as pre-testable as much as possible To assemble basic devices in a single production line and only subsequently one Variants can be created using different housing surfaces and control panels. Another disadvantage of a C-shaped housing with a supporting function is that that it cannot be opened for repair purposes.
Aus der EP 0 208 334 B1 ist ebenfalls ein Gehäuse der eingangs genannten Art bekannt. Bei diesem Gehäuse wird ein Kastenelement aus einer L-förmigen Boden-Rückwand-Kombination, zwei oberen Schienen und der Frontwand gebildet. Auch hier wird eine sichtbare Gehäusefläche, die Frontwand, als tragendes und stabilisierendes Bauteil verwendet.A housing of the type mentioned at the outset is also known from EP 0 208 334 B1. At this housing is a box element made of an L-shaped floor-rear wall combination, two upper rails and the front wall are formed. Here, too, there is a visible housing surface, the front wall, used as a load-bearing and stabilizing component.
Aus der GB 2 071 706 A ist eine Waschmaschine bekannt, deren Gehäuse auf der Frontseite
durch eine obere und eine untere Traverse stabilisiert wird. Hierdurch wird zwar die Frontwand
entlastet, dafür sind die Seitenwände Bestandteile des Tragrahmens.A washing machine is known from
Aus der EP 0 588 100 A1 ist eine Wäschebehandlungsmaschine bekannt, die zunächst als arbeitsfähiges, vorprüfbares Basisgerät frei von Gehäuse-Sichtflächen aufgebaut wird. Hierzu sind bei einem Trockner die Funktionsbaugruppen und -teile in einen Rahmen eingesetzt, welcher aus einem Bodenteil, einer Rückwand, zwei vertikalen Frontleisten, einer die Frontleisten im oberen Bereich verbindenden vorderen Verstärkungsleiste und zwei seitlichen Verstärkungsleisten besteht. Bei dieser Ausführungsform muß als Träger für die Bedienblende ein Halteblech zur Stabilisierung eingesetzt werden, was die Herstellung verteuert. Darüber hinaus verkompliziert die Verbindung der einzelnen Leisten die Fertigung.A laundry treatment machine is known from EP 0 588 100 A1 Workable, pre-testable basic device is set up free of housing visible surfaces. For this the functional assemblies and parts of a dryer are inserted in a frame, which consists of a bottom part, a rear wall, two vertical front strips, one the front strips in the upper area connecting front reinforcement bar and two side Reinforcing strips exist. In this embodiment, the support for the control panel a holding plate can be used for stabilization, which increases the cost of production. About that In addition, the connection of the individual strips complicates the production.
Bei Waschmaschinen wird in der EP 0 588 100 A1 alternativ vorgeschlagen, anstelle der vertikalen Frontleisten und der vorderen Verstärkungsleiste ein Stabilisierungsblech zu verwenden. Ein solches Blech stellt ein relativ teures Baute dar, außerdem verringert es bei Waschmaschinen mit einer schrägen Bedienblende durch seine Abkantung im oberen Bereich die frei verfügbare Tiefe, die für einen Einbau des Waschaggregats zur Verfügung steht.In washing machines, EP 0 588 100 A1 alternatively proposes instead of vertical front strips and the front reinforcement strip to use a stabilizing plate. Such a sheet is a relatively expensive building, it also reduces Washing machines with a sloping control panel due to its bevel in the upper area the freely available depth that is available for installing the washing unit.
Aus der FR 1 520 703 ist eine Waschmaschine bekannt, deren Gehäuse aus einem Käfiggerüst
mit Verkleidungen besteht. Die Stabilität eines solchen Gerüsts ist relativ gering und kann nur
durch Diagonalstreben und die zusätzliche Stabilisierung durch plattenförmige Oberflächen
erreicht werden.A washing machine is known from
Es ist außerdem aus der DE 42 12 700 A1 bekannt, einen Wäschetrockner mit einem in das
Gehäuse einschiebbaren Kasten auszubilden, in dem ein Wärmepumpenkreis und ggf. der
Prozeßluftkanal angeordnet sind. Durch den einschiebbaren Kasten, in dem der Wärmepumpenkreis
angeordnet ist, soll eine bessere Zugänglichkeit der Wärmepumpe erreicht
werden, damit Wartungs- und Reinigungsarbeiten leichter durchführbar sind. Das Gehäuse ist
bei der bekannten Ausführung als selbsttragende stabile Struktur ausgebildet.It is also known from
Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem, das Gehäuse einer frontbeschickbaren Wäschebehandlungsmaschine der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend zu optimieren, daß bei großer Stabilität und Belastbarkeit eine Variantenbildung durch Gehäuseoberflächen und/oder Neigung der Bedienblende in einem sehr späten Stadium des Fertigungsprozesses ermöglicht wird. Außerdem soll das Konzept für eine Wäschebehandlungsmaschine dahingehend verbessert werden, daß eine wesentliche Vereinfachung der Montage durch Modulbauweise mit einem kostengünstig herstellbaren Gehäuse erreicht wird.The invention thus poses the problem of the housing of a front-loading laundry treatment machine to optimize the type mentioned in such a way that with large Stability and resilience a variant formation through housing surfaces and / or inclination the control panel is enabled at a very late stage in the manufacturing process. In addition, the concept for a laundry treatment machine is to be improved accordingly be that a significant simplification of the assembly by modular construction with a Housing can be produced inexpensively.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem durch ein Gehäuse für eine frontbeschickbare Wäschebehandlungsmaschine
mit den im Patentanspruch 1 und 10 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst.
Vorteilhatte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden
Ansprüchen.According to the invention, this problem is solved by a housing for a front-loading laundry treatment machine
solved with the features specified in
Die mit der Erfindung erreichbaren Vorteile bestehen darin, daß die Leisten aus einem einzigen profilierten Werkstück durch Bearbeitung in einem einzigen Folgewerkzeug und anschließende Biege- und Stanzoperationen hergestellt werden können. Dabei kann die Länge der senkrechten und waagerechten Abschnitte und somit die Abmessungen des Gehäuses in einfacher Weise variiert werden. Aufgrund der möglichen U-Profilierung der Leisten insbesondere bei Waschmaschinen kann auf weitere Stabilisierungsmaßnahmen verzichtet werden. Die Traverse ermöglicht eine einfache und positionsgenaue Befestigung der Schalterblende.The advantages that can be achieved with the invention are that the strips consist of a single one profiled workpiece by machining in a single following tool and subsequent Bending and punching operations can be made. The length of the vertical and horizontal sections and thus the dimensions of the housing in simple Way can be varied. Due to the possible U-profiling of the lasts in particular Washing machines can do without further stabilization measures. The traverse enables simple and precise positioning of the switch panel.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Gehäuses beinhalten die Leisten im Übergangsbereich vom horizontalen Teilstück zum vertikalen Teilstück ein abgeschrägtes Teilstück, wobei die Traverse die Leisten an diesen abgeschrägten Bereichen verbindet. Hierdurch lassen sich in einfacher Weise Geräte mit verschieden geneigten Bedienblenden realisieren, ohne die Tiefe der Vorderwand und damit die Gerätetiefe zu vergrößern. Bei Gerätevarianten mit unterschiedlichen Bedienblendenneigungen im Bereich von 0° bis zu 50° ist es insbesondere vorteilhaft, wenn die Abschrägung der Leisten unabhängig vom Neigungswinkel bzw. der Form der Bedienblende jeweils den gleichen Winkel aufweist. Hierdurch können die Gehäuse für diese Gerätevarianten in einer einzigen Fertigungslinie hergestellt werden. Außerdem ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Traverse lösbar zwischen den Leisten im Bereich ihrer Abwinklung befestigt ist. Hierdurch wird eine Montage und Demontage des Waschaggregat von oben ermöglicht, ohne daß die Traverse die Bautiefe des Gehäuses verringert.In an advantageous embodiment of the housing according to the invention, the In the transition area from the horizontal section to the vertical section, a beveled Section, the traverse the strips at these beveled areas connects. This allows devices with different inclinations in a simple manner Realize control panels without increasing the depth of the front wall and thus the device depth. For device variants with different control panel inclinations in the range of 0 ° to 50 °, it is particularly advantageous if the bevels of the strips are independent has the same angle from the angle of inclination or the shape of the control panel. As a result, the housings for these device variants can be produced in a single production line getting produced. It is also advantageous if the crossbar is detachable between the strips is fixed in the area of their bend. This will assemble and disassemble the Washing unit allows from above, without the crossbeam the depth of the housing decreased.
Die mit der Erfindung erreichbaren Vorteile liegen außerdem darin, daß mindestens ein einschiebbares Modul als Tragstruktur zur Gehäusestabilisierung im vorderen Einschubbereich ausgebildet ist. Dadurch kann das Gehäuse insgesamt kostengünstiger hergestellt werden. Außerdem kann im Einschubbereich auf zusätzliche Stabilisierungsleisten am unteren Gehäuserahmen verzichtet werden. Die Ausbildung des Moduls als vorprüfbare Einheit bestehend aus Funktionsbaugruppen und ggf. Funktionsbauteilen ermöglicht außerdem eine wesentliche Kostenersparnis bei der Montage, da Fehler schon an vorprüfbaren Modulen erkannt und beseitigt werden können und nicht erst bei der Endkontrolle festgestellt werden.The advantages achievable with the invention are also that at least one insertable module as support structure for housing stabilization in the front insertion area is trained. As a result, the housing can be manufactured overall more cost-effectively. In addition, additional stabilizing strips at the bottom can be found in the insertion area Housing frame can be dispensed with. The training of the module as a testable unit consisting of functional assemblies and, if applicable, functional components also enables Significant cost savings during assembly, since errors already occur on pre-testable modules can be recognized and eliminated and not only determined during the final inspection.

Das in Figur 1 dargestellte Gehäuse einer Waschmaschine besteht aus einem Tragrahmen (1), zwei Seitenwänden (1a; 1b), einer Frontwand (2) und einem Gehäusedeckel (3; s. Fig. 3). Zur Bildung des Tragrahmens (1) ist eine geschlossene, mit einem umlaufenden Rand (41) versehene Bodenwanne (4) an ihrer Rückseite (42) mit einer Rückwand (5) verbunden. Die Rückwand besitzt nach vorn gerichtete Abkantungen (51), die ihre und die die Stabilität des gesamten Tragrahmens erhöhen. Die Verbindung von Rückwand (5) und Bodenwanne (4) erfolgt im Randbereich (41) der Bodenwanne (4) durch Durchsetzfügen (Clinchen). Zwischen den oberen Ecken der Rückwand (5) und den vorderen Ecken der Bodenwanne (4) erstreckt sich auf jeder Seite eine abgekantete Leiste (6a; 6b), die einen waagerechten Teilbereich (61), einen schrägen (62) Teilbereich und einen senkrechten Teilbereich (63) aufweist. Zur Herstellung der Leiste wird zunächst in einem Folgewerkzeug Bandmaterial mit Stanzungen versehen und zu einem langgestreckten U-Profil abgekantet, welches auf der zum Waschmaschineninneren gerichteten Seite einen verkürzten Schenkel (64) besitzt. Durch Auslegung des Folgewerkzeugs für Profile mit unterschiedlichen Längen kann in einfacher Weise die Länge des horizontalen und/oder vertikalen Teilstücks und somit die Gehäusetiefe und/oder -breite variiert werden.The housing of a washing machine shown in Figure 1 consists of a support frame (1), two side walls (1a; 1b), a front wall (2) and a housing cover (3; see Fig. 3). To form the support frame (1), a closed base pan (4) provided with a peripheral edge (41) is connected on its rear side (42) to a rear wall (5). The rear wall has forward-facing bevels (51) which increase their stability and that of the entire support frame. The connection between the rear wall (5) and the floor pan (4) takes place in the edge area (41) of the floor pan (4) by clinching. On each side, between the upper corners of the rear wall (5) and the front corners of the floor pan (4), there is a bevelled strip (6a; 6b), which has a horizontal section (61), an oblique section (62) and a vertical section (63). To produce the bar, strip material is first punched in a follow-up tool and bent to an elongated U- profile, which has a shortened leg (64) on the side facing the inside of the washing machine. By designing the follow-up tool for profiles with different lengths, the length of the horizontal and / or vertical section and thus the housing depth and / or width can be varied in a simple manner.
Anstelle der Herstellung der U-Profile in einem Folgewerkzeug kann ein Rollforming-Verfahren angewendet werden, wobei dann Ausschnitte und andere Stanzoperationen nach dem Formen vorgenommen werden müssen. Dieses Verfahren bietet sich insbesondere an, wenn die Leisten nur mit wenigen Ausschnitten versehen werden müssen. Beim Rollforming-Verfahren ist die Herstellung von verschiedenen Gehäusevarianten (Tiefe, Höhe, Blendenneigung) noch einfacher, da die Leisten mit einer CNC-gesteuerten Bearbeitungsvorrichtung weiterbearbeitet werden können. Kostenintensive Folgewerkzeuge entfallen dann.Instead of producing the U profiles in a follow-up tool, a roll forming process can be used, in which case cutouts and other punching operations must then be carried out after the molding. This method is particularly useful if the strips only need to be provided with a few cutouts. With the rollforming process, the production of different housing variants (depth, height, aperture inclination) is even easier, since the strips can be further processed with a CNC-controlled processing device. There is then no need for costly follow-up tools.
Die mit dem Folgewerkzeug hergestellten Profile sind, da sie noch nicht abgewinkelt sind, einfach zu lagern und zu transportieren. Eine Weiterverarbeitung erfolgt deshalb erst in einer Rahmenbildungsanlage, in der sie in ihre endgültige Form gebogen werden und anschließend zur Stabilisierung an den Überlappungen (651; 652) in dem nach außen gerichteten Schenkel (65) verschweißt werden. Der kurze Schenkel (64) auf der Innenseite kann ohne Einschnitt gebogen werden, so daß nur im langen Schenkel jeweils ein Einschnitt im Übergangsbereich vom schrägen (62) zum horizontalen Teilstück (61) und im Übergangsbereich vom schrägen (62) zum vertikalen Teilstück (63) vorgenommen werden muß. Da die Leiste (6a) aus einem einteiligen Werkstück geformt ist, ist deshalb jeweils ein Schweißpunkt an den Überlappungen (651; 652) notwendig. Nach dem Schweißen werden letzte, positionsgenaue Bohrungen angebracht. Anschließend erfolgt die Befestigung der Leisten (6a; 6b) an der Bodenwanne (4) und an der Rückwand (5) durch Clinchen. Zur Erhöhung der Stabilität werden die Leisten (6a; 6b) im unteren Drittel ihres vertikalen Teilstücks an einer Stelle, die geringfügig unterhalb der Türöffnung (21) in der Frontwand liegt, mit einer Strebe (7) verbunden. In der Strebe befinden sich ein Befestigungspunkt (71) für die Frontwand und Aufnahmen (72; 73) für die vorderen Enden von nicht dargestellten Transportstangen, die zur Sicherung des schwingenden Aggregats (9; s. Fig. 2) dienen.The profiles produced with the follow-on tool, since they are not yet angled, easy to store and transport. Further processing therefore only takes place in one Framing system in which they are bent into their final shape and then for stabilization at the overlaps (651; 652) in the outward leg (65) are welded. The short leg (64) on the inside can be cut be bent so that only one cut in the transition area in the long leg from the oblique (62) to the horizontal section (61) and in the transition area from the oblique (62) to the vertical section (63) must be made. Since the bar (6a) from a one-piece workpiece, there is therefore a spot weld at the overlaps (651; 652) necessary. After welding, the last, precise positions Drilled holes. Then the strips (6a; 6b) are attached to the Floor pan (4) and on the rear wall (5) by clinching. To increase stability the strips (6a; 6b) in the lower third of their vertical section at a point that is slight is located below the door opening (21) in the front wall, connected to a strut (7). In the Struts are a fastening point (71) for the front wall and receptacles (72; 73) for the front ends of transport rods, not shown, to secure the swinging Aggregate (9; see Fig. 2) serve.
Bevor nun der Tragrahmen (1) durch eine Traverse (8) vervollständigt wird, die die abgeschrägten Bereiche (62) der beiden Leisten (6a; 6b) verbindet, wird das in den Figuren 2 und 3 dargestellte schwingende Aggregat (9) (Laugenbehälter, Trommel, Koppelelemente) mittels Federn (91) an den waagerechten Teilstücken der Leisten aufgehängt und durch Schwingungsdämpfer (92) gegenüber der Bodenwanne (4) abgestützt. Durch die nachträgliche Befestigung der Traverse (8) an den Leisten (6a; 6b) wird sichergestellt, daß das Aggregat (9) von oben in den Tragrahmen (1) abgesenkt werden kann, ohne daß der Einbauraum nach vorn beschränkt wird. Dies vereinfacht die Montage erheblich.Before the support frame (1) is completed by a crossbeam (8) that the beveled Connects areas (62) of the two strips (6a; 6b), this becomes in Figures 2 and 3 shown vibrating unit (9) (tub, drum, coupling elements) by means of Springs (91) suspended from the horizontal sections of the strips and by vibration dampers (92) against the floor pan (4) supported. Through the subsequent attachment the traverse (8) on the strips (6a; 6b) ensures that the unit (9) from above in the support frame (1) can be lowered without restricting the installation space to the front becomes. This considerably simplifies assembly.
Die Traverse (8) dient zur Stabilisierung des Tragrahmens, als Träger für das Bedienfeld (10) samt dahinter liegendem Steuerteil (101) und zur Befestigung des Gehäusedeckels (3). Ihre Befestigung an den Leisten erfolgt mit Schrauben (81; 82)) (s. Fig. 4), wodurch die oben beschriebene nachträgliche Montage vereinfacht wird und ein eventueller nachträglicher Ausbau des schwingenden Aggregats (9) überhaupt erst ermöglicht wird.The crossbeam (8) serves to stabilize the support frame, as a support for the control panel (10) together with the control part (101) behind it and for fastening the housing cover (3). Your Attachment to the strips is carried out with screws (81; 82)) (see Fig. 4), whereby the above described subsequent installation is simplified and a possible subsequent expansion of the vibrating unit (9) is made possible in the first place.
Vor der Anbringung der Traverse (8) ist die bis dahin gefertigte Waschmaschine vollkommen frei von Bauteilen, welche ihr optisches Erscheinungsbild bestimmen. Es können deshalb die Gehäuse für verschiedene Gerätevarianten mit unterschiedlichen Bedienblendenneigungen in einer einzigen Fertigungslinie hergestellt werden.Before attaching the traverse (8), the washing machine manufactured up to that point is complete free of components that determine their visual appearance. It can therefore Housing for different device variants with different control panel inclinations in be produced on a single production line.
Die Figuren 4 a bis c zeigen die schematisierten Seitenansichten des oberen Frontbereichs von drei Geräten, Waschmaschinen oder Trocknern, mit unterschiedlichen Bedienblendenformen. Die dargestellten Typen unterscheiden sich im wesentlichen durch die Neigung des Bedienfeldes bzw. der Blende (10a; 10b; 10c). Figur 4 a zeigt eine gerade Blende (10a), Figur 4 b eine um 27° zur Vertikalen geneigte Blende (10b) und Figur 4 c eine sogenannte Pultblende (10c), welche einen vertikalen Teilabschnitt (10c.1) und einen um 49° zur Vertikalen geneigten Teilabschnitt (10c.2) besitzt. Bei allen Varianten ist der Aufbau des Tragrahmens bis auf geringfügige Variationen an der nachträglich eingebauten Traverse (8) gleich, d. h., es werden identische Bodenteile (4 bei Waschmaschinen), Rückwände (5) und Leisten (6a; 6b) verwendet. Insbesondere die Abschrägung (62) der Leisten (6a; 6b) weist unabhängig vom Neigungswinkel der Bedienblende (10) jeweils den gleichen Winkel von 31° zur Senkrechten auf. Hierdurch können alle Tragrahmen für die jeweilige Gerätesorte (Waschmaschine, Waschtrockner, Ablufttrockner oder Kondenstrockner) in der gleichen Rahmenbildungsanlage hergestellt werden. Für Geräte mit gerader Blende (10a) und geneigter Blende (10b) werden gleiche Traversen (8a; 8b)) verwendet, die Traverse (8c) für Geräte mit Pultblende (10c) erhält durch eine Umformung eine Abschrägung (8c.1) im oberen Bereich. Da für Waschmaschinen und Trockner formgleiche Traversen (8) verwendet werden, die sich nur hinsichtlich des Lochbildes unterscheiden, können sie in der gleichen Fertigungsanlage hergestellt werden. Ein weiterer Vorteil des einheitlichen Tragrahmens (1) besteht darin, daß für alle Typen einer Gerätesorte die gleiche Vorderwand (2) verwendet werden kann. Somit unterscheiden sich die Gehäuse verschiedener Gerätetypen nur durch die Seitenwände (1a; 1b), das Bedienfeld (10) und den Deckel (3).FIGS. 4 a to c show the schematic side views of the upper front area of FIG three devices, washing machines or dryers, with different control panel shapes. The types shown differ essentially in the inclination of the control panel or the aperture (10a; 10b; 10c). Figure 4 a shows a straight diaphragm (10a), Figure 4 b one Aperture (10b) inclined by 27 ° to the vertical and FIG. 4c a so-called desk aperture (10c), which has a vertical section (10c.1) and one inclined by 49 ° to the vertical Has section (10c.2). In all variants, the structure of the support frame is up to slight variations on the retrofitted crossbar (8) the same, d. that is identical base parts (4 for washing machines), rear walls (5) and strips (6a; 6b) used. In particular, the bevel (62) of the strips (6a; 6b) points independently of the Tilt angle of the control panel (10) each the same angle of 31 ° to the vertical on. This allows all support frames for the respective device type (washing machine, washer dryer, Exhaust air dryer or condenser dryer) manufactured in the same frame forming system become. For devices with a straight aperture (10a) and an inclined aperture (10b) the same Trusses (8a; 8b)) used, the traverse (8c) for devices with desk cover (10c) receives through forming a bevel (8c.1) in the upper area. As for washing machines and Dryer-like crossbeams (8) are used, which differ only with regard to the hole pattern differ, they can be manufactured in the same manufacturing plant. Another Advantage of the uniform support frame (1) is that for all types of a device type the same front wall (2) can be used. So the housings differ Different types of devices only through the side walls (1a; 1b), the control panel (10) and Cover (3).
