Definitions

  • the invention relates to a washing machine with a relative to the machine housing swingable washing unit comprising a washing drum and a washing drum surrounding tub, are provided on the suspension brackets with through holes for springs, which in turn are attached to the oscillating mounting of the unit on the machine housing.
  • This intermediate insert is designed as an eyelet, which consists of a soft carrier part and a hard insert part, wherein the hard insert part forms the inner border of the eyelet, which comes into contact with the suspended spring hook.
  • the invention thus has the object to improve the wear resistance and durability of suspension brackets for plastic tub.
  • the metallic element is a piece of wire which can be latched in the region behind the eye. Due to this design ensures that by forming the passage opening, and in particular the Schugreifungs Kunststoffs, with easy assembly, a piece of wire can be easily pressed against the edge of the opening to harden in this way the Schugreifungs Society of the eye.
  • the wire piece is preferably formed of spring steel wire, so it corresponds to the same hardness as that of the spring hook, which is also bent from spring steel wire in an advantageous manner. As a result, the material abrasion of the wire piece is reduced.
  • the spring steel wire piece is arranged in a recess formed in the opening wall.
  • the recess for the automatic support of the spring steel wire piece web-shaped wall portions which have an undercut at their open ends.
  • the wall regions partially surround the piece of wire in a peripheral section and hold it in the recess.
  • the web-shaped wall regions are arranged opposite one another offset from one another. As a result, a simple demolding in the injection molding tool in the axial direction is provided during the manufacturing process.
  • the passage opening itself has substantially a rectangular opening, wherein the upper opening edge is formed roof-shaped. Correspondingly bent and the wire piece is formed as an angle, and bordered in the upper roof-shaped opening edge. Due to the roof shape is achieved that a centering of the spring hook takes place in the apex area.
  • an indentation for the spring hook is provided in the apex region of the upper opening edge.
  • This indentation is in particular intended that, for example, if a piece of wire is not involved, the spring hook assumes a secure hold in the apex region of the upper opening edge.
  • the piece of wire can optionally be used or omitted.
  • a material thickening is provided around the opening edge of the passage opening.
  • FIG. 1 shows a washing machine 20 in a sectional view.
  • an aggregate 2 is arranged within the housing 1, which comprises a tub 3 and a washing drum 19 arranged rotatably therein.
  • FIG. 1a shows, in a perspective detail view, a machine housing 1 of a washing machine, in which the unit 2 with the tub 3 is arranged so as to be able to oscillate.
  • suspension brackets 4 are provided with an opening 5 for the attachment of springs 6, which in turn are attached to the oscillating mounting of the unit 2 on the machine housing 1.
  • the spring end is bent as a hook 8, which projects through the opening 5 and is thus hooked in the suspension bracket 4.
  • the particular embodiment of the suspension brackets 4 is shown in more detail in Figures 2 to 5.
  • the embodiment of the passage opening 5 is shown in Fig. 2.
  • the opening 5 has a substantially rectangular shape, wherein a material thickening 18 is provided around the opening edge 15.
  • a recess 12 extending with the course of the plane of the suspension holder 4 is arranged. How the recess is formed as such in the opening edge 15, can be seen more clearly in Figures 2, 3 and 4.
  • the recess 12 on web-shaped wall portions 13 which extend with the plane of the opening to the center of the opening.
  • the web-shaped wall regions 13 have an undercut 13a, whereby the recess 12 is at least partially narrowed.
  • the web-shaped wall regions 13 are arranged offset from one another in relation to one another.
  • FIG. 5 shows the passage opening 5 of a suspension holder 4 with a metallic element in the form of a piece of wire 10.
  • the wire piece 10 is enclosed by the undercut 13a at least partially positively.
  • the wire piece 10 in this case in the Schugreifungs Scheme 7 of the opening 5 and in the recess 12 formed in the opening edge 15 engage latched.
  • the undercut 13a of the web-shaped wall portions 13 holds the latched wire piece 10 in the recess 12, whereby it remains captive on the upper edge 11 of the opening 5.
  • the wire piece 10 is preferably formed from spring steel wire, since spring steel has a low wear during rubbing action.
  • the eye 5 is formed substantially rectangular, wherein the upper opening edge 15 is formed roof-shaped.
  • the wire piece 10 is adapted to the shape of the roof and bent as an angle piece with a vertex 9 and framed in the upper roof-shaped opening edge 15.
  • a molding 17 is provided for the spring hook 8.
  • the spring end here bent as spring hook 8
  • the durability of the suspension bracket 4 is significantly improved.
  • the latched piece of wire can be dispensed with (FIG. 7).
  • the spring hook 8 is inserted into the indentation 17, whereby it is secured against tangential displacements relative to the tub 3.
  • a material thickening 18 is provided around the opening edge 15 of the eye 5.
  • spring suspension points 4 are formed for mounting the unit 2 in the washing machine housing 1 via tension springs on both sides. Corresponding points 4 can also be found on the tub container cap.
  • the tub 3 is hooked directly into the spring hook 8 during assembly of the unit 2. It follows that during the spin process, a relative movement between the spring hook 8 and Laugen electerauge 5 takes place, which is associated with wear of the Einbericht constitution constitutions 4 in the tub 3.
  • a redesign of the suspension point 4, as shown, offers the possibility to keep the wear during relative movements between spring steel and spring steel very low.
