Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for fastening an annular unbalance compensation device on a laundry drum of a household appliance, wherein the unbalance compensation device is inserted into a circumferentially formed recording of the laundry drum.
  • the invention also relates to an arrangement for a household appliance and a household appliance.
  • an annular balancing device also known as "ball balancer" - to the laundry drum.
  • Such an imbalance compensation device has an annular, hollow housing, in which there is a balancing mass, which is provided for example in the form of a plurality of spherical compensating elements.
  • This balancing mass is movably mounted in the interior of the housing and during operation of the washing machine tends to shift to one of the imbalance masses - with respect to a diameter of the laundry drum - opposite side, thus producing a counterweight for the imbalance mass and consequently an overall balance.
  • a screw connection between an imbalance compensation device and a laundry drum is, for example, in the EP 2 154 285 A1 proposed.
  • KR 10 2008 037 420 A an arrangement in which an imbalance compensation device is fixed via a latching connection to a laundry drum.
  • locking elements are formed on a radial outer circumference of a housing of the unbalance compensation device, which are engaged in corresponding latching openings of the laundry drum.
  • the latching elements lie axially against an edge delimiting the respective latch opening, so that a positive connection is formed in the axial direction.
  • Such a latching connection has in particular the disadvantage that it may come to a release of the latching connection.
  • the imbalance compensation device can be attached to the laundry drum particularly reliable.
  • An inventive method is used for fastening an annular unbalance compensation device to a laundry drum of a household appliance, wherein the unbalance compensation device is inserted into a circumferentially formed receiving the laundry drum.
  • a formed on a housing of the balancing device extension is heated and plastically deformed so that the extension engages behind a receiving wall of the laundry drum.
  • the housing of the imbalance compensation device with a protruding extension or web, which is bent to attach the imbalance compensation device to the laundry drum quasi around the recording limiting wall of the laundry drum with heating, so that the extension on a side facing away from the receiving surface the wall is applied.
  • a grip behind the Wall of the extension allows a particularly effective and reliable attachment of the balancing device to the laundry drum, which can also be automated very well beyond.
  • the imbalance compensation device does not have to be positioned in a complicated manner during assembly and aligned so that the latching elements coincide with the corresponding latching openings. This in turn reduces the effort during assembly.
  • an imbalance compensation device in the present case a device which is designed to compensate and thus to prevent imbalances of the laundry drum.
  • the unbalance compensation device can have a compensating mass arranged movably in the housing, for example in the form of a plurality of spherical elements.
  • Such an imbalance compensation device can also be referred to as a "ball balancer”.
  • the housing of the imbalance compensation device is preferably formed in one piece and may have a base body from which protrudes said extension. While in the main body then the balancing mass of the balancing device is movably arranged, the extension is used to attach the housing to the laundry drum.
  • the housing may be provided in total as an injection molded part.
  • the receptacle, in which the unbalance compensation device is received formed by an axial recess formed on an axial end face of the laundry drum. Then, the unbalance compensation device is received in the receptacle in the axial direction.
  • the assembly of the imbalance compensation device can thus be made after the complete production process of the laundry drum.
  • Said extension can be in one embodiment, a completely circumferential and thus annular extension, which surrounds said wall of the laundry drum fully.
  • the extension in the form of a ring-segment-shaped web and optionally also to provide a plurality of such extensions which are distributed in the circumferential direction.
  • a circumferential extension has the advantage of increased stability; several smaller extensions reduce the assembly effort.
  • the deformation of the extension includes that it is bent over an axial end edge of the wall.
  • the wall can therefore be an axially arranged or extending in the axial direction wall, which is engaged behind on the axial end side of the extension.
  • the housing may be formed so that the extension before deformation is a radial extension, which in particular points in the radial direction to the outside.
  • the extension can thus form a stop, up to which the housing is received in the recess.
  • a projection of the laundry drum which is formed on a side of the wall facing away from the receptacle, in particular on a radial outer circumference of the wall, and in the direction away from the receptacle, in particular in the radial outward direction, is engaged behind by the extension or embraced.
  • said projection of the laundry drum is formed by a fold of the wall. It is thus preferred that the fold, which is engaged behind by the extension of the housing of the imbalance compensation device.
  • the fold is preferably a frontal flanging or a connection point between a cylindrical shell and an axial end wall of the laundry drum. In this way, an already existing fold is additionally used as a kind of fastening element for fastening the unbalance compensation device.
  • the deformation of the extension is preferably carried out by heating a thermoplastic material.
  • the heating and in particular the deformation is carried out by means of a sonotrode, by means of which a mechanical vibration is applied to the extension.
  • the assembly process can be automated without much effort.
  • the extension can be thermoformed by means of the sonotrode and in this case be crimped around the edge of the adjacent wall.
  • the invention also relates to an arrangement for a household appliance, with a laundry drum for receiving laundry items, and with an annular unbalance compensation device which is inserted into a circumferentially formed recording of the laundry drum, wherein the unbalance compensation device by means of a formed on a housing of the imbalance compensation extension to the laundry drum is fixed, which engages behind a receiving wall bounding the laundry drum, wherein the extension is plastically deformed warm, and thus rests against a side facing away from the receiving surface of the wall.
  • An inventive household appliance for the care of items of laundry, in particular a washing machine comprises an arrangement according to the invention.
  • An in Fig.1 Arrangement 1 is designed for use in a washing machine and includes a laundry drum 2 for receiving laundry items and an imbalance compensation device 3 to compensate for imbalances of the laundry drum 2.
  • the laundry drum 2 has a laundry room 4, in which the laundry items can be accommodated and which peripherally is limited by a cylindrical, circumferential jacket 5 and the front side by a front axial end wall 6 on the one hand and a rear or rear axial end wall 7 on the other.
  • Wäschemitpercussion 9 attached, which serve to distribute the laundry items in the laundry room 4.
  • the laundry drum 2 is mounted in a tub via a shaft 10 and rotatably driven by a drive motor about an axis of rotation 11 - in particular a horizontal axis of rotation.
  • the front axial end wall 6 has an opening 12 through which the items of laundry can be introduced into the wash chamber 4.
  • the unbalance compensation device 3 comprises a, in particular made of a thermoplastic plastic material, housing 13, which has a circumferentially formed and hollow base body 14 and an extension 15 protruding therefrom.
  • the main body 14 is executed in cross-section D-shaped.
  • the housing 13 is inserted into an axial receptacle 16, which is formed by an axial recess in the front axial end wall 6 of the laundry drum 2.
  • the axial receptacle 16 is bounded radially on the one hand by a wall 17 and on the other hand by an axially extending portion 18 of the end wall 6 and axially by a radially arranged edge region 19 of the end wall 6.
  • the housing 13 is inserted in such a way that a D-shaped or belly-like arch 20 of the main body 14 points in the direction of the wash chamber 4 and thus rests against the edge region 19.
  • the extension 15 is from a flat portion 21 of the body 14 from.
  • the housing 13 is first axially inserted so far into the receptacle 16 until the first radially outwardly facing extension 15 is brought into abutment with an axial end edge 22 of the wall 17.
  • a radially outwardly projecting projection 23 in the form of a fold is formed, which is formed by a crimping of the jacket 5 with the front axial end wall 6 of the laundry drum 2.
  • the extension 15 After insertion of the housing 13 in the receptacle 16 of the laundry drum 2, the extension 15 is plastically deformed while heating and bent around the axial end edge 22 of the wall 17 and thus also around the projection 23 or crimped. The extension 15 is thus deformed so that it engages behind the wall 17, and in particular the radial projection 23, after its deformation and engages with its free end 24 on a side facing away from the receptacle 16 surface 25 of the shell 5 axially behind the projection 23. The extension 15 also lies completely against the projection 23, so that it is virtually completely encased or surrounded by the extension 15.
  • the wall 17 is thus a double-walled structure, which is formed both by a region of the jacket 5 and by a portion of the end wall 6.
  • a sonotrode 26 can be used, as shown schematically in the FIGS. 3a and 3b is indicated.
  • mechanical vibration can be applied to the extension 15, through which the extension 15 is heated and plastically deformed.
  • the heating and the deformation of the extension 15 can be carried out at the same time, as shown in FIGS FIGS. 3a and 3b is shown schematically.
