Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a door for a tumble dryer, for closing a loading opening which is arranged at least approximately vertically in a housing, including a holding device which grips the edge of a glass pane in a door frame, preferably by means of a mounting and/or a housing-side part of the holding device, and a seal of elastic material for preventing the escape of humidity in the region of the holding device of the glass pane.
- DE-GM 78 34 776 discloses a door for a washing machine, said door being pivotably linked on one side, wherein the glass pane which bulges in the form of a pot is held in a circular plastic frame by means of a pressure fit. The groove-type connection point between the plastic frame and the installed glass pane is sealed by means of a circular rubber seal which is located in the groove of the plastic frame and into which the glass pane is pressed.
- The hermeticity of this clamped joint is essentially dependent on the dimensional accuracy of the assembled components. Compliance with the small tolerances required for this purpose can only be achieved at considerable cost, in particular with regard to the manufacture of the glass pane.
- In commonly marketed drying machines, the glass pane is mechanically fixed in a variety of embodiments by means of a holding device which forms the inside of the door frame. The holding ring or pressure ring is fitted into the externally visible mounting ring of the door and is screwed onto this as an assembly. In this case, the pot-like glass pane is positioned between the outer mounting ring and the holding ring. The seal which prevents an escape of humidity is installed between the holding ring and the offset edge ridge of the glass pane; the screw connection of the holding ring with the external frame part (the mounting ring) effects the required press fit of the glass pane.
- In the case of the described door, manufacturing-dependent deviations from tolerance in terms of the thickness of the glass pane and its roundness are admittedly compensated by realizing the pressure that must be applied on the seal, in order to ensure the hermeticity of the connection, by means of the screw connection of holding device and mounting ring. However, definitive dimensional accuracy of the assembled door frame is not satisfied in this manner.
- The known solution also has the disadvantage that, between the inner edge region of the holding ring and the edge ridge of the glass pane which is shaped inwards in the form of a pot, a niche is formed in which fluff can accumulate over the course of time during operation of the drying machine. The fluff accumulation at the edge of the glass pane is clearly visible externally, thereby considerably compromising the appearance of the transparent loading opening for the observer. The visual impression is also worsened because the fluff accumulation reveals the otherwise unnoticeable manufacturing tolerances of the glass pane, since the volume of the fluff accumulation is dependent on the width and depth of the niche which is formed between the glass pane and the holding ring, and irregularities in the accumulated fluff layer are particularly noticeable to the human eye at the side edges. However, because glass panes have not been used often previously in doors for tumble-dryers, it follows that the described problem has only been rarely visible.
- The invention addresses the problem of designing the door of a front-loading tumble-dryer such that the accumulation of fluff in the region of the pressurized sealing of the pot-like glass pane is avoided, while all requirements in terms of the air seal and humidity seal are nonetheless satisfied.
- According to the invention, this problem is solved by the seal being molded onto the housing-side part of the holding device and adapting to the contours of the inner surface of the glass pane by virtue of a lip-type ring (claim 1). As a result of the seal extending towards the center of the glass pane by means of a lip-type ring and adapting to the contour of the glass by virtue of its lip, the fluff is given no adhesion allowing it to settle in a region—as it does e.g. in tumble-dryers in the prior art—where it is undisturbed by washing passing over it.
- In an embodiment of the invention, the seal features a ring section which is clamped between the housing-side part of the holding device and the edge of the glass pane in an axial direction of the door (claim 2). It is thus possible to effect an improvement of the seal between internal space and surroundings, going beyond the sealing action of the lip-type ring as presented above.
- In a further embodiment of the invention, provision is made for the lip-type ring to feature a cross section which is shaped like an acute-angled triangle and, in its acute-angled region, adapts to the contours of the glass pane (claim 3). The tapering of the material thickness in the acute-angled region of the seal ring has the effect that the seal fits closely against the pot-like pane with ease, without any new niches occurring or steps being formed at the outer end where fluff could again accumulate. As a result of using the seal which is designed thus, the intermediate space between the pot-like glass pane and the holding device is completely filled without forming a step at the transition points to the compression ring and the glass pane. Consequently, the accumulation of fluff in the edge region of the glass pane can be permanently avoided, and therefore the glass pane remains clean even in the case of long-term operation of the drying machine (subsequently designated simply as “tumble-dryer”), and the visual impression of someone seeing the loading opening from the front is not negatively affected. The original function of the inventive seal as a sealing element and as means for tolerance compensation is in no way restricted in comparison with the described known seals.
- In a further advantageous development of the invention, the seal is integrally connected to the housing-side part (claim 4). In this case, the outer periphery of the ring section features a circular step which abuts the inside of the housing-side part (claim 5). As a result, it is possible both to create a transition-free connection and to reduce the number of individual parts which must be provided in the assembly, in particular if the seal is sprayed onto the housing-side part (claim 6). Manual insertion and positioning of the seal does not apply when assembling the door.
- The invention is explained below with reference to the exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawing, in which:
-
FIG. 1 shows a frontal view of a tumble-dryer with a door before loading, -
FIG. 2 shows a cross section through the holding device region for the glass pane along the intersection line II-II inFIG. 1 , -
FIG. 3 shows the housing-side part of the door frame together with the seal in the section as perFIG. 2 , and -
FIG. 4 shows a cross section through the holding device region of the glass pane in a further exemplary embodiment along the intersection line IV-IV inFIG. 1 . - A loading opening (not shown) which is closed by a
door 3 is located on thefront side 2 of thehousing 1 of a tumble-dryer as perFIG. 1 . For the purpose of opening, the door can be pivoted about ahinge 5 by means of ahandle 4. In order to clarify the structure of thedoor frame 6, it is intersected on the upper side. In the case of the reference sign II-II the intersection line represents the structure illustrated inFIG. 2 , and in the case of the reference sign IV-IV the intersection line represents the structure illustrated inFIG. 4 . - In the exemplary embodiment according to
FIG. 2 , thedoor 3 of the tumble-dryer consists of aframe 6 into which is fitted aglass pane 7 that bulges inwards in the form of a pot towards the internal space of the tumble-dryer. Theglass pane 7 can be manufactured from a transparent plastic or from silicate glass. Theframe 6 of the door consists of twoparts decorative ring 8 is the externally visible part of thedoor frame 6 and is configured according to current aesthetic demands (not indicated in the diagram). A housing-side part 9 which is connected, e.g. screwed, to thedecorative ring 8 forms the inner part of thedoor frame 6. - In order to increase the sturdiness of the
door frame 6, the housing-side part 9 and thedecorative ring 8 are strengthened by means of moldedribs frame 6 highly bend-resistant and warp-resistant. The external dimensions of theframe parts ribs side part 9 and in thedecorative ring 8 complement each other such that the assembly of theframe parts parts - On the inside, the assembled parts of the
frame 6 form a circumferential reception space for theedge ridge 12 of theglass pane 7 which bulges in the form of a pot. The reception space is dimensioned such that sufficient play is present to reliably compensate for manufacturing-dependent deviations from tolerance of theglass pane 7 in terms of its thickness roundness. - A
seal 13 preventing the escape of humidity is arranged between the housing-side part 9 and theedge ridge 12 of theglass pane 7. The seal according to the invention is sprayed onto the housing-side part 9 in this embodiment. The technologies for spraying elastic seals are known and will not be further explained at this point. - In accordance with known sealing elements, the
inventive seal 13 features two circumferential unbroken bead-form sealing ribs 14 on its side which is oriented towards theedge ridge 12, wherein said sealingribs 14 fit closely against theedge ridge 12 of theglass pane 7 under pressure in the assembleddoor frame 6. The escape of humidity from the internal space of the tumble-dryer into the installation space of the machine is reliably prevented by the bead-formsealing ribs 14. The pressure which must be applied for this purpose between the housing-side part 9 and theedge ridge 12 of theglass pane 7 can be generated by screws (not shown) that connect thedecorative ring 8 to the housing-side part 9. - Other connection techniques can also be used. For example, the two individual
plastic parts door frame 6 can be connected in a positive manner by virtue of the snap-in elements which are molded in the parts. The screw connection has proven advantageous, however, in particular in order to compensate for thickness tolerances of theedge ridge 12 of theglass pane 7. - The sprayed-on lip-
type ring 15 grips theinside 17 of the housing-side part 9 by means of astep 16, and has a flush connection to theinside 17 of said housing-side part 9, such that no projecting step is formed at this point. As shown inFIG. 3 , that part of the seal which extends inwards approximately horizontally beyond the edge of the housing-side part 9 tails off in an acute angle as a lip-type ring 15. By virtue of its elasticity of material and shape, this acute-angled region 18 of theseal 13 fits tightly against the outer wall of theglass pane 7 when this is assembled. The acute-angled region 18 of theseal 13 prevents the formation of a step, in whose groove-like cavity fluff could settle in such a way that it cannot be reached, at the placement position. - The
seal 13 closes the space between thetransparent glass pane 7 and the housing-side part 9 and produces a smooth transition between both components. Since theseal 13 does not leave any edges or steps open, in particular at the points of vibration, any long-term accumulation of fluff is impossible. Fluff which arrives in this region with the dry air glides off theglass pane 7 and theseal 13 and is transported with the dry air stream to a fluff filter which is not shown in the drawing. The visual impression of the glass pane at its edge region always remains equally pleasant during continuous operation of the tumble-dryer. - In the case of a door as per
FIG. 4 , provision is made for aprotective pane 19, this being held together with the outer part (decorative ring 8) of theframe 6, in order to further improve the appearance and protect against contact with the pot-like glass pane 7 which can reach temperatures of 90° C. during operation of the tumble-dryer. For this, thedecorative ring 8 is provided at its inner edge with a slightly projectingrib 20 and, by means of aridge 21, supports itself on aspacer ring 22 which maintains a distance between thedecorative ring 8 on one side and the housing-side part 9 of theframe 6 and theedge ridge 12 of theglass pane 7 on the other side. A slightly offset edge of theprotective pane 19 is positioned in the intermediate space betweenspacer ring 22 andrib 20. In this case, thedecorative ring 8 is held onto a rear section of the housing-side part 9 of theframe 6 by means of a snap-inrib 23. -
