Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tub for a drum washing machine with at least one fastened by screw ballast weight, which is designed as a ring segment and is pressed onto support areas on the container wall, wherein at least three elongated pins are formed for the screw on the container wall, each in a corresponding elongated Projecting opening in the ballast weight, wherein the pins are aligned in the longitudinal direction of the respective corresponding opening.
  • Such a tub is from the DE 102 15 254 A1 known.
  • fastening elements and domes or pins are formed on the end wall.
  • the fasteners and domes protrude into corresponding recesses or openings in the ballast weight, wherein the ballast weight rests on the end wall and wherein the recesses closely surround the lateral border of the projecting fasteners.
  • the weight is connected through corresponding openings by means of connecting means with the tub.
  • it is necessary that the contour of the openings in the weight are carried out very accurately and with high dimensional accuracy, so that the positive connection between the opening and dome is achieved and the weight does not rattle or vibrate in operation relative to the container wall.
  • a tub known in which on the end walls dome or pins are formed, which protrude into openings in the ballast weight.
  • the domes are each provided with an axial bore into which a screw is screwed, which presses with its screw head the ballast weight against the support area.
  • the opening in the ballast weight is covered with a spring plate, which provides a biasing force on the ballast weight after screwing the screw.
  • relaxing is unavoidable in the contact area, as a result of which the prestressing force gradually decreases. At higher weights or larger imbalances, the ballast weight can loosen and in the worst case solve.
  • ballast weight has a conical passage opening, which is slipped over a pin on the tub wall.
  • a conical or wedge-shaped part is inserted in the hollow pin, which presses the walls of the pin outwardly against the inner circumference of the passage opening of the ballast weight. Due to the spreading apart of the walls, which then nestle against the conical passage opening, the ballast weight is fixed to the container wall.
  • the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a plastic tub with a simple and improved attachment for at least one ballast weight.
  • ballast weight in each case at least partially a cavity remains between the pin and the opening, whereby a positioning of the ballast weight on the container wall is made possible.
  • the ballast weight can be displaced laterally before fastening to a limited extent relative to the container wall, whereby manufacturing tolerances are compensated in a simple manner.
  • quite large tolerances for the ballast weight and the openings can be allowed.
  • This is particularly advantageous in ballast weights made of concrete or a metal casting, since in this case an accurate dimensional accuracy of the openings with respect to the position would not be possible or only with great effort.
  • the ballast weight is in this case designed as a ring segment, in which at least at the outer ends in each case an opening and in the region of the apex an opening for attachment to the container wall is provided.
  • the elongated openings at the outer, lateral ends are horizontal and the opening in the region of the apex is vertically aligned.
  • the directional information refers to the operational position of the tub in the washing machine.
  • each pin reaches the intended opening, wherein slight displacements of the ballast weight before the final tightening of the screws are still possible.
  • the longitudinal sides of the pins bear on the respective inner wall of the opening, whereby a force distribution is achieved or the surface pressure is reduced.
  • the combination of the horizontal and vertical alignment of the elongated pins and openings provides a good tight fit with simultaneous tolerance compensation. This arrangement is particularly advantageous when the ballast weight is attached to the front side of the layer container.
  • an annular or circumferential, elastic element is used in the cavity between the pin and the opening, which at least partially fills the cavity.
  • the elastic element fills the cavity along the long sides of the elongated opening in the ballast weight. Since cavities still remain in the region of the short sides of the opening, some material of the elastic element can spread there. For attachment, a large biasing force, which is provided by the tightening, no longer necessary, whereby the container wall is not heavily loaded in the support area. As a result, the service life is increased and possible cracks due to excessive stresses or strains are avoided.
  • the sleeve consists of an elastomer or rubber material which has a hardness in the range between 40 to 80 ShoreA. With this hardness, on the one hand, a limited deformability is achieved, which provides a sufficient frictional resistance in the contact area. On the other hand, the material for a stable attachment is hard enough, so that no relative movements between ballast weight and container wall occur in particular during operation of the washing machine.
  • At least one fastening tab is integrally formed on an end wall of the tub, on which the fastening pin extends from the plane of the end wall pioneering.
  • the attachment can be performed regardless of the circumstances of the container wall.
  • the fastening strap can be made with a higher material thickness to better withstand the stresses.
  • a circumferential shoulder is arranged in an expedient embodiment around the at least one opening in the ballast weight, on which rests a circumferential collar of the elastic element, wherein a disc is arranged between the screw and the collar is who presses the collar on the heel.
  • the disk for receiving the screw in the central region has an elongated opening which extends in the longitudinal direction to the opening in the ballast weight.
  • the screw can be screwed in a fixed predetermined position on the container wall, wherein the position in the disc is not fixed, whereby a tolerance compensation or a change in position of the ballast weight in the longitudinal direction of this opening is made possible.
  • Fig. 1 is a washing machine 8 with a tub 1 outlined in a side view as a section.
  • the tub 1 consists at least of a cylindrical shell 2, which surrounds a drum 3.
  • the cylindrical shell 2 is closed by at least one rear bottom wall 6a.
  • a hub 4 is integrated, which receives the drive shaft 5 for driven by a motor 12 drum 3.
  • the front end wall 6 is provided with a loading opening 7 which can be closed by a door 9.
  • Ballastmonye 10, 11 are attached.
  • Fig. 2 the tub 1 is shown in a perspective view from the front.
  • the ballast weights 11 are arranged on the outside on the front end wall 6, wherein they are arcuately formed as a partial circular ring and outside follow approximately the course of the shell 2 and the inside the loading opening 7 free.
  • the weights 11 are screwed to the end wall 6, in which case the attachment to fastening tabs 14 takes place, which are integrally formed on the end wall 6 and / or on the jacket 2.
  • Elongated openings 16, 16a, 16b are provided for the screws, the outer openings 16, 16a being substantially horizontal and the opening 16b being vertically aligned in the apex region 27, based on the operational position of the washing machine. This arrangement allows a very good tolerance compensation.
  • Fig. 3 the attachment of the ballast weight 11 is sketched in detail.
  • a pin 15 (not shown) integrally formed, which rises from the plane of the tab 14.
  • the ballast weight 11 has an opening 16 into which the pin 15 projects from the wall side. With the help of the screw 13 and an underlaid disc 21, the ballast weight 11 is pressed against the container wall 6 and the tab 14.
  • the opening 16 and the patch disc 21 are elongated, wherein the elongated opening 26 in the disc 21 provides a tolerance compensation for the screw fastening.
  • Fig. 4 the mounting area is sketched in an exploded view.
  • a pin 15 is formed on the end wall 6 or on the level of the tab 14.
  • This pin 15 is elongated or oval in shape and extends substantially in the direction of the corresponding opening 16 in ballast weight 11.
  • an annular elastic member 19 is slipped, wherein it is not flush on the short sides of the elongated pin 15.
  • the elastic element 19 can be inserted into the opening 16 in the ballast weight 11, wherein it is connected to the encircling collar 23 (FIG. Fig. 4a ) is held at the ballast weight. Subsequently, the equipped with the elastic elements ballast weight 11 is placed on the pins 15.
  • the ballast weight 11 is arranged on the end wall 6 so that the pin 15 projects with the elastic element 19 in the elongated opening 16.
  • the long sides of the inner wall 28 of the opening 16 are flush and / or under pressure on the elastic member 19, wherein the short sides form a gap or only loosely abut the elastic member 19 or a gap 18 (FIG. Fig. 5a ) between the elastic member 19 and the pin 15 form.
  • a positioning or fixing in the direction C is achieved, wherein in the longitudinal direction L of the opening 16, a shift is possible.
  • the screw 13 is inserted through the opening 16 of the ballast weight 11 in the opening 31 with the interposition of the disc 21 and screwed into the nut (not shown).
  • Fig. 5a is the fixed ballast weight 11 in a detailed sectional view along the section line BB (FIG. Fig. 3 ) sketched.
  • the ballast weight 11 is pressed against the contact area 17 on the container wall 6 and on the tab 14.
  • the pin 15 rises, which projects into the opening 16 of the ballast weight 11.
  • the elastic sleeve 19 is located in the cavity 18 on the inner wall 28 of the opening 16, wherein the cavity 18 between the pin 15 and the inner wall 28 of the opening 16 is only partially filled by the sleeve 19.
  • a circumferential collar 23 is formed, which is directed radially outward and rests on a peripheral shoulder 24 of the ballast weight 11.
  • the flat portion 22 of the ring 19 is slightly compressed and pressed the circumferential collar 23 on the ballast weight 11 and on the shoulder 24. Due to the resilience of the collar 23, the ballast weight 11 is pressed with a limited force against the contact area 17 on the container wall 6 and tab 14, whereby a reliable and permanent tight fit of the ballast weight 11 is achieved.
  • Fig. 5b shows the ballast weight 11 in a sketched sectional view along the section line AA (FIG. Fig. 3 ).
  • the cavity 18 between the pin 15 and the inner wall 28 of the opening 16 is almost completely filled, wherein the flat portion 22 of the ring 19 both is applied to the pin 15 and on the inner wall 28 of the opening 16 and is compressed within the cavity 18.
  • Fig. 6 shows an embodiment of the sleeve 19, in which on the end facing the container wall 6, a further circumferential, outwardly directed collar 25 is formed, which is located between ballast 11 and container wall 6 and the support 17 provides for the ballast weight 11.
  • This collar 25 causes an intermediate friction increased resistance between ballast weight 11 and container wall 6, whereby lateral relative movements of the ballast weight 11 can be avoided. Due to the increased frictional resistance of the collar 25 of the interference fit is further improved, the ballast weight 11 does not have to be pressed so firmly against the support surface of the end wall 6 or tab 14. As a result, the relaxation behavior in the plastic in the attachment or the support 17 is largely avoided. This is a reliable attachment for all operating situations occurring over the entire life of the washing machine 8 (FIG. Fig. 1 ) provided.
  • Fig. 7 shows a further embodiment in which the nut 20 to the tab 14 towards angled segments 30 includes, which are partially passed through openings 29 in the tab 14. The free end of these segments 30 forms the support 17 for the ballast weight 11.
  • the screw 13 can be very tightened because the ballast weight 11 is no longer pressed with its support portion 17 on the plastic of the container wall 6 and tab 14 and therefore can not press into the plastic.
