Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Türgriff für eine Tür eines frontbeschickbaren Haushaltsgerätes, wie beispielsweise einer Waschmaschine, einem Wäschetrockner oder einem Waschtrockner mit einer Trommel zur Wäschebehandlung, dessen Beschickungsöffnung an der Front mit einer als Ring anscharnierten Tür verschließbar ist, wobei zum Schließen und Öffnen im Randbereich des Ringes ein als Handhabe ausgebildetes Griffelement vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a door handle for a door of a front-loading household appliance, such as a washing machine, a tumble dryer or a washer-dryer with a drum for laundry treatment, the loading opening of which can be closed at the front with a door hinged as a ring, with closing and opening in the edge area of the Ring is designed as a handle element is provided.

Stand der Technik:State of the art:

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist es bekannt, dass beispielsweise Haushaltsgeräte, welche als Behandlungsraum eine Trommel umfassen, in der die Wäsche programmgesteuert behandelt wird, in der Frontseite des Maschinengehäuses eine anscharnierte Tür aufweisen. Die Tür umfasst hierbei einen Ring, wobei in dem Ring beispielsweise ein Schauglas angeordnet ist, durch das der Behandlungsraum in verschlossenem Zustand einsehbar ist.It is known from the prior art that, for example, household appliances which comprise a drum as a treatment room, in which the laundry is treated under program control, have a hinged door in the front of the machine housing. The door in this case comprises a ring, a sight glass, for example, being arranged in the ring, through which the treatment room can be seen in the closed state.

Zum Verschluss der Tür gibt es unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten, um die Tür an der Frontseite zu verriegeln. Die Tür kann mittels einer Steuerung im Bereich des Bedienfeldes entriegelt werden, wobei dann die Tür von Hand geöffnet werden kann, um auf diese Weise entsprechend den Zugriffsfreiraum durch die Beschickungsöffnung zu der Trommel zu erhalten. Auf diese Weise kann entweder eine Entleerung oder Befüllung der Waschmaschine oder des Wäschetrockners bewerkstelligt werden.There are different ways to lock the door to lock the door on the front. The door can be unlocked by means of a control in the area of the control panel, in which case the door can be opened by hand in order in this way to give the drum access to the access opening through the loading opening. In this way, either the washing machine or the tumble dryer can be emptied or filled.

Eine derartige frontbeschickbare Wäschebehandlungsmaschine ist hier beispielsweise aus der EP 2 098 627 A1 , US2013232810A , bekannt, welche über eine derartig beschriebene Tür verfügt, wobei in einem Ring ein Schauglas angeordnet ist. Um eine bessere Handhabung für die Tür vorzuhalten - also hier im entriegelten Zustand -, ist am Außenring und hier im Randbereich des Ringes ein als Handhabe ausgebildetes Griffelement vorgesehen. Das Griffelement als solches ist dabei derart angeordnet, dass es die Eingriffsöffnung vorgibt, wobei nach dem Stand der Technik vornehmlich ein von außen her radialer Eingriff in das Griffelement vorgegeben wird, sodass das Griffelement nach außen weisend radial am Türring angeordnet ist.Such a front-loading laundry treatment machine is here for example from the EP 2 098 627 A1 , US2013232810A , Known, which has such a door described, wherein a sight glass is arranged in a ring. In order to provide better handling for the door - in this case in the unlocked state - a handle element designed as a handle is provided on the outer ring and here in the edge region of the ring. The handle element as such is arranged in such a way that it specifies the engagement opening, whereby according to the prior art primarily a radial engagement into the handle element from the outside is specified, so that the handle element is arranged radially on the door ring pointing outward.

Aus der US 2007075614 A1 ist eine Tür bekannt, die eine am Türring angebrachte bogenförmige Griffstange umfasst. Aus der DE 10 2006029483 A1 ist eine Tür mit einem Türring bekannt, an den der Betätigungshebel für die Verriegelung angebracht ist.From the US 2007075614 A1 a door is known which comprises an arched handle bar attached to the door ring. From the DE 10 2006029483 A1 a door with a door ring is known, to which the actuating lever for the locking is attached.

Bekannt ist beispielsweise aus der US 2004089031 A1 oder der US 2010088917 A1 auch die Anordnung desIs known for example from the US 2004089031 A1 or the US 2010088917 A1 also the arrangement of the

Griffelementes radial von innen her anzuordnen, so dass die Eingriffsöffnung somit radial von innen her zugänglich ist.Arrange handle element radially from the inside, so that the engagement opening is thus radially accessible from the inside.

Somit gibt die Anordnung des Griffelementes gemäß dem Stand der Technik dem Benutzer die Eingriffsmöglichkeit für die Fingerkuppen der Hand vor, wie er die Tür zu öffnen hat. Dies bedeutet, dass er, wenn er beispielsweise eine Befüllung der Maschine vorgenommen hat, dann letztendlich immer in den radialen Innenbereich oder in den radialen Außenbereich der Tür eingreifen muss, um so die Verschlusssituation oder die Offenstellung herzustellen. Eine andere Möglichkeit ergibt sich, wenn beispielsweise der Türring irgendwie mit der Hand auf die Öffnung gedrückt wird, wobei sich hier eine Fehlverrasterung des Verschlussteils ergeben kann. Auch ist insbesondere bei der Öffnung des Türrings dann immer der Eingriff von innen oder außen her vorgegeben, was schon eine bestimmte Stellungsposition des Benutzers zum Maschinengehäuse erfordert. Entsprechende Probleme ergeben sich auch für Personen, die Linkshändler oder Rechtshändler sind.Thus, the arrangement of the handle element according to the prior art gives the user the possibility of engagement for the fingertips of the hand, how he has to open the door. This means that if, for example, he has filled the machine, he must ultimately always intervene in the radial inner region or in the radial outer region of the door in order to establish the locking situation or the open position. Another possibility arises if, for example, the door ring is somehow pressed onto the opening by hand, which can result in incorrect locking of the closure part. Also, especially when opening the door ring, the intervention from the inside or outside is always predetermined, which requires a certain position position of the user relative to the machine housing. Corresponding problems also arise for people who are left-handers or right-handers.

Problemproblem

Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem, einen Türgriff für eine Tür eines frontbeschickbaren Haushaltsgerätes derart weiterzubilden, der insbesondere eine Wahl von unterschiedlichen Eingriffsmöglichkeiten zum Schließen und Öffnen der Tür bereitstellt.The invention thus presents the problem of developing a door handle for a door of a front-loading domestic appliance in such a way that it provides in particular a choice of different intervention options for closing and opening the door.

Lösungsolution

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 with the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous refinements and developments of the invention result from the following subclaims.

Der erfindungsgemäße Griff ermöglicht es, dass dem Benutzer die Freiheit gegeben ist, ob er die Tür vom Eingriff her radial von außen oder radial von innen öffnen kann. Somit kann der Benutzer selbst entscheiden, ob er in den Türring von außen oder von innen radial ergreifen kann. Aufgrund dieser Ausbildung ergibt sich nun der Vorteil, dass beim Öffnen oder Schließen der Tür die Handhabung zum Ergreifen des Türringes nicht mehr standortgebunden ist von dem der Benutzer den Eingriff vorzunehmen hat, da er nun die Möglichkeit hat, entweder innen radial oder auch außen radial einzugreifen. Steht er rechts von der Beschickungsöffnung, kann er nun wählen, wie er als Rechts- oder Linkshänder einen besseren Eingriff in den Griff bekommt. Entsprechendes gilt auch, wenn er links von der Beschickungsöffnung steht, um die Tür zu öffnen. Er kann entsprechend, ob er nun Rechtshänder oder Linkshänder ist, die für ihn günstige Eingriffsposition wählen. Entsprechendes gilt auch für den Standpunkt, den der Benutzer vor der Waschmaschine oder des Wäschetrockners wählt. Hier besteht die Möglichkeit, sich frontal, rechts oder links vor der Beschickungsöffnung zu positionieren, um dann entsprechend mit der Hand den günstigsten Eingriff auszuführen. Dies, ohne dass er dadurch seine Standortposition verändern muss.The handle according to the invention enables the user to be given the freedom to open the door radially from the outside or radially from the inside. Thus, the user can decide for himself whether he can grip the door ring radially from the outside or from the inside. Because of this design, there is now the advantage that when opening or closing the door, the handling for gripping the door ring is no longer location-specific, from which the user has to carry out the intervention, since he now has the option of intervening either radially on the inside or radially on the outside . If he is standing to the right of the loading opening, he can now choose how to get a better grip on it as right or left-handed. The same applies if it is to the left of the loading opening, to open the door. Depending on whether he is right-handed or left-handed, he can choose the most favorable position for him. The same also applies to the point of view that the user chooses in front of the washing machine or dryer. Here it is possible to position yourself frontally, to the right or to the left in front of the loading opening in order to carry out the cheapest intervention by hand. This without having to change his position.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird hierzu merkmalsgemäß vorgeschlagen, dass das Griffelement im Randbereich des Ringes einen Eingriff bzw. ein Einführen der Fingerkuppen einer Hand sowie radial von außen als auch radial von innen her zulässt. Diese Möglichkeit ist nun derart von Vorteil, dass, wie bereits beschrieben, standortunabhängig und auch, ob der Benutzer hier Rechtshänder oder Linkshänder ist, entsprechende Eingriffsmöglichkeiten am Türring gegeben sind, die jedem Standpunkt und jeder Eingriffsstärke gerecht wird.According to the invention, it is proposed for this purpose that the grip element in the edge region of the ring permits an engagement or insertion of the fingertips of a hand and radially from the outside and radially from the inside. This possibility is now so advantageous that, as already described, location-independent and whether the user is right-handed or left-handed, there are corresponding possibilities of intervention on the door ring that do justice to every point of view and every degree of intervention.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist das Griffelement im Ring der Tür integriert angeordnet. Hierzu ist das Griffelement im ringförmigen Rahmen der Tür angeordnet. Das Griffelement ist dabei nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung im ringförmigen Rahmen tunnelförmig ausgebildet.According to the invention, the handle element is arranged integrated in the ring of the door. For this purpose, the handle element is arranged in the ring-shaped frame of the door. According to an advantageous embodiment, the grip element is tunnel-shaped in the annular frame.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung bilden die gegenüberliegenden Öffnungen des Tunnels jeweils die Eingriffsöffnungen bzw. die Einführöffnungen für die Fingerkuppen. Dabei sind die Öffnungen im Seitenbereich des ringförmigen Rahmens angeordnet, der im Querschnitt eine Trapezform aufweist. In Weiterbildung erstrecken sich hierbei die Öffnungsschlitze des Griffelementes über die gerundeten Seitenflanken des ringförmigen Rahmens. Somit fügen sich insbesondere die Öffnungen hier am Ringbereich derart ein, dass sie in die Form des Ringes sowie hinsichtlich des Erscheinungsbildes nicht störend wirken.According to an advantageous development, the opposite openings of the tunnel each form the engagement openings or the insertion openings for the fingertips. The openings are arranged in the side region of the annular frame, which has a trapezoidal shape in cross section. In a further development, the opening slots of the grip element extend over the rounded side flanks of the ring-shaped frame. Thus, in particular, the openings here insert into the ring area in such a way that they do not have a disruptive effect on the shape of the ring or on its appearance.

Beschreibung der ZeichnungenDescription of the drawings

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung rein schematisch dargestellt und wird nachfolgend näher beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention is shown purely schematically in the drawing and is described in more detail below.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine perspektivische Darstellung einer als Ring mit Schauglas ausgebildeten Tür für eine Waschmaschine, einen Wäschetrockner oder einen Waschtrockner.The Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a door designed as a ring with a sight glass for a washing machine, a tumble dryer or a washer-dryer.

AusführungsbeispieleEmbodiments

Die Figur 1 zeigt in isolierter Darstellung eine Tür 1 für ein frontbeschickbares Haushaltsgerät, wie eine Waschmaschine, einen Wäschetrockner oder einen Waschtrockner, mit einer Trommel zur Wäschebehandlung, dessen Beschickungsöffnung in der Front mit der als Ring 3 anscharnierten Tür 1 verschließbar ist. Als Türgriff 2 für die Tür 1 ist hierbei zum Verschließen und Öffnen im Randbereich des Ringes 3 ein als Handhabe ausgebildetes Griffelement 4 vorgesehen.The Figure 1 shows an isolated representation of a door 1 for a front-loading domestic appliance, such as a washing machine, a tumble dryer or a washer-dryer, with a drum for laundry treatment, the loading opening in the front of which can be closed with the door 1 hinged as a ring 3. A handle element 4 designed as a handle is provided as the door handle 2 for the door 1 for closing and opening in the edge region of the ring 3.

Wie aus der einzigen Figur zu erkennen, lässt das Griffelement 4 im Randbereich 5 des Ringes 3 einen Eingriff bzw. ein Einführen der Fingerkuppen einer Hand gemäß der angedeuteten Pfeilrichtungen sowohl ein radiales von außen als auch ein radial von innen her zu. Wie zu erkennen ist, ist das Griffelement 4 im Ring 3 der Tür 1 integriert. Das Griffelement 4 ist im ringförmigen Rahmen 6 der Tür 1 angeordnet. Hier ist das Griffelement 4 im ringförmigen Rahmen 6 tunnelförmig ausgebildet, wie dies durch die gegenüberliegenden Öffnungen 7 und 8 des Tunnels 9, die jeweils die Eingriffsöffnungen für die Einführung für die Fingerkuppen bilden, erkennbar ist.As can be seen from the single figure, the grip element 4 in the edge region 5 of the ring 3 permits an engagement or an insertion of the fingertips of a hand according to the indicated arrow directions both radially from the outside and radially from the inside. As can be seen, the handle element 4 is integrated in the ring 3 of the door 1. The handle element 4 is arranged in the annular frame 6 of the door 1. Here, the grip element 4 is tunnel-shaped in the annular frame 6, as can be seen from the opposite openings 7 and 8 of the tunnel 9, which each form the engagement openings for the insertion for the fingertips.

Dabei sind die Öffnungen 7 und 8 im Seitenbereich 10 des ringförmigen Rahmens 6 angeordnet, wobei hier der ringförmige Rahmen 6 im Querschnitt eine Trapezform aufweist. Die Öffnungsschlitze 7 und 8 des Griffelementes 4 erstrecken sich hierbei über die gerundeten Seitenflanken des ringförmigen Rahmens 6. Aufgrund der Darstellung wird nun ersichtlich, dass von unten her beispielsweise mit der rechten Hand eingegriffen werden kann, wobei von oben her hier beispielsweise mit der linken Hand eingegriffen werden kann, um auf diese Weise ein ergonomisches Schließen und Öffnen der Tür 1 zu bewerkstelligen.The openings 7 and 8 are arranged in the side region 10 of the annular frame 6, the annular frame 6 here having a trapezoidal shape in cross section. The opening slots 7 and 8 of the grip element 4 here extend over the rounded side flanks of the ring-shaped frame 6. On the basis of the illustration, it can now be seen that, for example, it is possible to intervene from below with the right hand, from above, for example, with the left hand can be intervened in order to bring about an ergonomic closing and opening of the door 1.
