Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine GeschirrspĂ¼lmaschine gemĂ¤ĂŸ dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a dishwasher according to the preamble of
GeschirrspĂ¼lmaschinen der eingangs genannten Art sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt. Sie verfĂ¼gen Ă¼ber einen SpĂ¼lraum zur Aufnahme von zu reinigendem SpĂ¼lgut. Der SpĂ¼lraum wird von einem SpĂ¼lbehälter bereitgestellt, der Ă¼ber eine SpĂ¼lraumzugangsöffnung verfĂ¼gt. Im bestimmungsgemĂ¤ĂŸen Betriebsfall ist diese SpĂ¼lraumzugangsöffnung mittels einer MaschinentĂ¼r fluiddicht verschlieĂŸbar.Dishwashers of the type mentioned are known from the prior art. They have a washing room for receiving items to be cleaned. The washing compartment is provided by a washing compartment having a washing compartment access opening. In normal operation, this SpĂ¼lraumzugangsöffnung is closed fluid-tight by means of a machine door.
Die MaschinentĂ¼r ist verschwenkbar ausgebildet. Sie ist zu diesem Zweck an einem Ständer der GeschirrspĂ¼lmaschine verschwenkbar angeordnet. Auch der SpĂ¼lbehälter wird in der Regel von diesem Maschinenständer getragen.The machine door is designed to pivot. It is pivotally mounted for this purpose on a stand of the dishwasher. Also, the washing is usually carried by this machine stand.
Um einem Verwender der GeschirrspĂ¼lmaschine ein Ă–ffnen und ein SchlieĂŸen der MaschinentĂ¼r zu erleichtern, ist es aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, zwischen dem Maschinenständer und der MaschinentĂ¼r eine Zugfeder vorzusehen. Sinn und Zweck dieser Zugfeder ist es im Besonderen, einen SchlieĂŸvorgang der MaschinentĂ¼r durch Krafteinleitung zu unterstĂ¼tzen, ein ungebremstes Herunterfallen der MaschinentĂ¼r beim Ă–ffnungsvorgang zu vermeiden sowie die MaschinentĂ¼r unter einem bestimmten Ă–ffnungswinkel in Ruheposition zu halten.In order to facilitate a user of the dishwasher opening and closing the machine door, it is known from the prior art to provide a tension spring between the machine stand and the machine door. The purpose of this spring is in particular to support a closing operation of the machine door by force, to prevent an unchecked fall of the machine door during the opening process and to keep the machine door at a certain opening angle in rest position.
Um diese Funktion der Zugfeder zu gewährleisten, ist es aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, eine Federzugverstellung vorzusehen, mittels welcher eine Federzuglast individuell eingestellt und gegebenenfalls auch nachjustiert werden kann.To ensure this function of the tension spring, it is known from the prior art to provide a Federzugverstellung, by means of which a spring tension can be adjusted individually and optionally also readjusted.
Die
Die
Obgleich sich die aus dem Stand der Technik vorbekannten Einrichtungen zur Federzugverstellung im alltäglichen Praxiseinsatz bewährt haben, besteht Verbesserungsbedarf, insbesondere mit Blick auf eine verbesserte Handhabung. Es ist deshalb die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine GeschirrspĂ¼lmaschine der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiter zu entwickeln, dass eine individuelle Verstellung der zwischen MaschinentĂ¼r und Maschinenständer vorgesehenen Zugfeder in vereinfachter Weise vorgenommen werden kann.Although the previously known from the prior art devices for Federzugverstellung have proven in everyday practice, there is room for improvement, especially with regard to improved handling. It is therefore an object of the invention to further develop a dishwasher of the type mentioned in that an individual adjustment of the provided between the machine door and machine stand tension spring can be made in a simplified manner.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird mit der Erfindung eine GeschirrspĂ¼lmaschine mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1 vorgeschlagen.To solve this problem, the invention proposes a dishwasher with the features of
Aus dem Stand der Technik vorbekannte Federzugverstellungen ermöglichen einen frontseitigen Zugriff. Maschinenständerseitig ist die Zugfeder zu diesem Zweck an ein Seil gekoppelt, das oberseitig des SpĂ¼lbehälters fĂ¼r einen frontseitigen Zugriff umgelenkt ist. In der Praxis hat diese Konstruktion immer wieder zu Problemen bis hin zu einem völligen Versagen gefĂ¼hrt. Insbesondere die Umlenkung des maschinenständerseitig mit der Zugfeder gekoppelten Seils hat sich als Fehlerquelle herausgestellt, nicht zuletzt auch wegen der im bestimmungsgemĂ¤ĂŸen Verwendungsfall der GeschirrspĂ¼lmaschine auftretenden thermischen Belastung aufgrund eines aufgeheizten SpĂ¼lbehälters. Zudem hat sich diese vorbekannte Konstruktion sowohl in der Herstellung als auch in der Montage als kostenaufwendig herausgestellt.Previously known Federzugverstellungen allow front access. Machine stand side, the tension spring is coupled for this purpose to a rope which is deflected on the upper side of the washing container for a front access. In practice, this construction has repeatedly led to problems up to a complete failure. In particular, the deflection of the machine frame side coupled to the mainspring rope has been found to be a source of error, not least because of the thermal load occurring in the intended use of the dishwasher due to a heated rinse tank. In addition, this prior art design has proven to be costly both in the production and in the assembly.
Die erfindungsgemĂ¤ĂŸe Ausgestaltung sieht indes im Unterschied zum vorbeschriebenen Stand der Technik eine Zugfeder vor, die maschinenständerseitig von einem Verstellschlitten gehalten ist. Dieser Verstellschlitten ist am Maschinenständer angeordnet, und zwar in Höhenrichtung verschieblich. Eine Federzugverstellung ist somit in einfacher Weise dadurch möglich, dass der Verstellschlitten in seiner relativen Höhenausrichtung zum Maschinenständer verschoben wird.The embodiment according to the invention, however, provides, in contrast to the above-described prior art, a tension spring which is held on the machine frame side by an adjusting slide. This adjustment slide is arranged on the machine stand, in the height direction displaceable. A Federzugverstellung is thus possible in a simple manner that the Verstellschlitten is moved in its relative height alignment to the machine stand.
Die erfindungsgemĂ¤ĂŸe Konstruktion erweist sich in ihrem Aufbau als sehr einfach, womit sie kostengĂ¼nstig sowohl in der Herstellung als auch der Montage ist. Auf eine spĂ¼lraumseitige Umlenkung eines Seils ist mit der erfindungsgemĂ¤ĂŸen Konstruktion vollends verzichtet, womit die dem Stand der Technik in nachteiliger Weise anhaftende Störanfälligkeit beseitigt ist. Insgesamt wird mit der erfindungsgemĂ¤ĂŸen Konstruktion eine einfache zu handhabende, weniger störanfällige und darĂ¼ber hinaus preisgĂ¼nstigere Federzugverstelleinrichtung vorgeschlagen.The construction according to the invention proves to be very simple in construction, with which it is cost-effective both in the production and the assembly. On a scavenging-side deflection of a rope is completely dispensed with the construction according to the invention, which eliminates the prior art adversely adhering susceptibility. Overall, a simple to handle, less susceptible to interference and also cheaper Federzugverstelleinrichtung proposed with the construction of the invention.
Der Verstellschlitten ist gemĂ¤ĂŸ einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung in einem vom Maschinenständer bereitgestellten FĂ¼hrungsschlitz verschieblich gelagert. Im endmontierten Zustand nimmt der FĂ¼hrungsschlitz den Verstellschlitten auf und sichert diesen. Bei einer Verstellbewegung des Verstellschlittens zum Zwecke der Federzugeinstellung wird der Verstellschlitten vom FĂ¼hrungsschlitz gefĂ¼hrt.The adjustment slide is displaceably mounted in a guide slot provided by the machine stand according to a further feature of the invention. In the final assembled state, the guide slot receives the adjustment slide and secures it. When adjusting the Verstellschlittens for the purpose of Federzugeinstellung the adjustment slide is guided by the guide slot.
Der FĂ¼hrungsschlitz weist gemĂ¤ĂŸ einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung einen Bereich mit einer Schlitzerweiterung auf. Dabei dient der Bereich der Schlitzerweiterung dem Zweck einer vereinfachten Montage beziehungsweise Demontage des Verstellschlittens. Mittels der Schlitzerweiterung kann der Verstellschlitten auf einfache Weise in den FĂ¼hrungsschlitz eingefädelt werden.The guide slot has, according to a further feature of the invention, an area with a slot enlargement. The area of slot enlargement serves the purpose of simplified assembly or disassembly of the adjustment slide. By means of the Schlitzerweiterung the adjusting slide can be easily threaded into the guide slot.
Der Verstellschlitten ist gemĂ¤ĂŸ einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung in seiner relativen Lage gegenĂ¼ber dem Maschinenständer festlegbar. Auf diese Weise wird eine kraftĂ¼bertragende Verbindung zwischen dem Verstellschlitten und dem Maschinenständer in der gewĂ¼nschten relativen Lage des Verstellschlittens gegenĂ¼ber dem Maschinenständer festgelegt. Dabei bestimmt sich die gewĂ¼nschte relative Lage des Verstellschlittens gegenĂ¼ber dem Maschinenständer nach der gewĂ¼nschten Federvorspannung der mit dem Verstellschlitten gekoppelten Zugfeder.The adjustment slide is according to a further feature of the invention in its relative position relative to the machine stand fixed. In this way, a force-transmitting connection between the adjustment slide and the machine frame is set in the desired relative position of the adjustment slide relative to the machine frame. The desired relative position of the adjusting slide relative to the machine frame is determined by the desired spring preload of the tension spring coupled to the adjusting slide.
Zum Zwecke der Festlegung des Verstellschlittens relativ gegenĂ¼ber dem Maschinenständer kommt eine Verstellschraube zum Einsatz, die mit dem Verstellschlitten zusammenwirkt, und die sich gegenĂ¼ber einem vom Maschinenständer bereitgestellten Widerlager abstĂ¼tzt. Bei dem Widerlager kann es sich in einfacher Weise um eine mit einem Langloch oder Bohrung ausgebildeten Platte handeln, wobei die auch als Feststellschraube zu bezeichnende Verstellschraube im montierten Zustand durch die Bohrung gefĂ¼hrt ist (in der GeschirrspĂ¼ler- Seitenwand) und sich mit ihrem Schraubenkopf am Widerlager abstĂ¼tzt.For the purpose of determining the adjustment slide relative to the machine frame, an adjusting screw is used, which cooperates with the adjusting slide, and which is supported against a provided by the machine stand abutment. The abutment can be a plate formed with a long hole or a hole in a simple manner, wherein the adjustment screw to be designated as adjusting screw is guided in the mounted state through the bore (in the dishwasher side wall) and with its screw head on the abutment supported.
Der Verstellschlitten trägt gemĂ¤ĂŸ einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung eine Gewindeplatte. Diese Gewindeplatte verfĂ¼gt Ă¼ber eine Gewindebohrung, in die die Feststellschraube im montierten Endzustand mit ihrem Gewinde eingreift. Im Zuge einer Verstellbewegung kann Ă¼ber die Feststellschraube die Gewindeplatte des Verstellschlittens und damit auch der Verstellschlitten in Richtung auf das vom Maschinenständer bereitgestellte Widerlager gefĂ¼hrt beziehungsweise von diesem wegbewegt werden. Auf diese Weise wird die relative Lage des Verstellschlittens relativ gegenĂ¼ber dem Maschinenständer eingestellt.The adjustment slide carries according to a further feature of the invention, a threaded plate. This threaded plate has a threaded hole, in which the locking screw engages in the assembled final state with its thread. In the course of an adjustment can be about the locking screw, the threaded plate of the adjusting slide and thus also the adjustment slide in the direction of the machine stand provided abutment led or moved away from this. In this way, the relative position of the Verstellschlittens is set relative to the machine frame.
Der Verstellschlitten, die davon getragene Gewindeplatte sowie die damit zusammenwirkende Verstellschraube - auch Feststellschraube genannt - bilden eine vormontierte Baueinheit. Dies vereinfacht die Montage beziehungsweise Demontage.The adjusting slide, the threaded plate carried therefrom and the adjusting screw cooperating therewith - also called a set screw - form a preassembled unit. This simplifies assembly or disassembly.
Im endfertig montierten Zustand ist die Verstellschraube von oberhalb des Maschinenträgers zugänglich, was eine einfache Federzugverstellung gestattet.In the final assembled state, the adjusting screw is accessible from above the machine carrier, which allows a simple Federzugverstellung.

Die Verstellung der Zugfeder, das heiĂŸt die Federzugverstellung dient insbesondere dazu, bei einer ErstausrĂ¼stung eine individuelle Einstellung hinsichtlich des tatsächlichen TĂ¼rgewichtes vorzunehmen. DarĂ¼ber hinaus können unter Umständen Ă¼ber die Lebensdauer der GeschirrspĂ¼lmaschine nachlassende Federkräfte durch eine Nachjustage kompensiert werden.The adjustment of the tension spring, that is, the spring tension adjustment is used in particular to make an individual setting with respect to the actual door weight in a original equipment. In addition, under certain circumstances, over the life of the dishwasher declining spring forces can be compensated by a readjustment.
Insbesondere kann somit durch die Federzugverstellung ein selbständiges Verbleiben der TĂ¼r in einer bestimmten Position mit vorgegebenem bzw. vorgebbarem Ă–ffnungswinkel, etwa mit einem Ă–ffnungswinkel von 45°, leicht eingestellt und bedarfsweise nachträglich verändert werden. Das selbstständige Verbleiben der TĂ¼r in einer bestimmten, etwa 45°-Position stellt beispielsweise fĂ¼r das BefĂ¼llen des Regeneriersalzes in der GerätetĂ¼r eine erhebliche Erleichterung dar. Durch die mittels der erfindungsgemĂ¤ĂŸen Zugfederverstellung voreingestellte Zugfeder 7 schwenkt die GerätetĂ¼r 4 bei einem grĂ¶ĂŸeren als dem vorgegebenen Ă–ffnungswinkel, also etwa bei einem Ă–ffnungswinkel grĂ¶ĂŸer 45°, durch ihr Eigengewicht selbständig auf, bei einem kleinerem als dem vorgegebenen Ă–ffnungswinkel, also etwa bei einem Ă–ffnungswinkel kleiner 45°, klappt die GerätetĂ¼r aufgrund der vorgespannten Zugfeder selbständig zu.In particular, thus by the Federzugverstellung an independent remaining of the door in a certain position with a predetermined or predefinable opening angle, such as with an opening angle of 45 °, easily adjusted and, if necessary, be subsequently changed. The autonomous retention of the door in a certain, approximately 45 ° position, for example, for the filling of the regenerating in the door a considerable relief.
