Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Wäschebehandlungsmaschine, wie eine Waschmaschine oder einen Wäschetrockner, umfassend eine in einem Gehäuse drehbar gelagerte Trommel mit einer eine Beschickungsöffnung verschließbaren Tür, wobei zur stationären Fixierung von Bekleidungsstücken in der rotierenden Trommel am Innenmantel der Trommel Einrichtungen zur Aufnahme der Bekleidungsstücke vorgesehen sind.The invention relates to a laundry treatment machine, such as a washing machine or a tumble dryer, comprising a rotatably mounted in a housing drum with a feed opening closable door, are provided for the stationary fixing of garments in the rotating drum on the inner surface of the drum means for receiving the garments.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Einrichtungen zur Aufnahme von Bekleidungsstücken bekannt, die in die Trommel eingesetzt werden, um auf diese Weise in einem begrenzten engen Raum Kleidungsstücke bzw. Gegenstände vorzuhalten, damit sie vor der ständigen rotierenden Umwälzung geschützt sind. Dies soll dazu führen, dass eine schonende Behandlung während des Waschvorganges erreicht wird. So ist beispielsweise aus dem Stand der Technik gemäß der JP 2005 118 535 A ein in der Trommel angeordnetes Behältnis bekannt, in dem entsprechend die zu reinigenden Bekleidungsstücke oder Gegenstände vorgehalten werden. Weiter ist aus der JP 102 25 595 A ein Drahtkorb bekannt, der ebenfalls an der Trommelwand vorgehalten wird. Eine andere Ausführungsform zeigt die DE 195 20 911 A1 , bei der die zu reinigenden Bekleidungsstücke an der Trommelwand befestigt werden, so dass eine schonende Reinigung mit der Wäschebehandlungsmaschine vorgenommen werden kann. So sind auch bei Trocknern so genannte Trockenkörbe oder auch Wäschenetze bekannt, in denen die zu behandelnden Bekleidungsstücke vorgehalten werden. Dadurch soll erreicht werden, dass die Bekleidungsstücke nicht an der Trommelwand reiben, wodurch eine schonende Behandlung der Bekleidungsstücke erfolgen soll. Denn durch die Einrichtungen wird auch der den Wäscheverschleiß fördernde Wäschefall in der Trommel verhindert. Als nachteilig bei diesen aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Einrichtungen wird es angesehen, dass deren Handhabung im Bezug zur Wäschebehandlungsmaschine sehr unflexibel gehalten ist.Devices are known from the prior art for accommodating items of clothing which are inserted into the drum so as to hold articles of clothing in a confined space, so that they are protected from the constant rotary circulation. This should lead to a gentle treatment during the washing process is achieved. For example, from the prior art according to the JP 2005 118 535 A a container arranged in the drum is known, in which the articles of clothing or articles to be cleaned are stored accordingly. Next is from the JP 102 25 595 A a wire basket known, which is also held on the drum wall. Another embodiment shows the DE 195 20 911 A1 in which the garments to be cleaned are fastened to the drum wall, so that a gentle cleaning can be carried out with the laundry treatment machine. So dry baskets or laundry nets are also known in dryers, in which the garments to be treated are kept. This is intended to ensure that the garments do not rub against the drum wall, whereby a gentle treatment of the garments should take place. Because of the facilities and the laundry wear promotional laundry case is prevented in the drum. A disadvantage of these devices known from the prior art, it is considered that their handling is kept very inflexible in relation to the laundry treatment machine.

Aus der EP 1 690 973 A1 ist als Wäschebehandlungsmaschine ein Trockner mit einer drehbaren Trommel bekannt, bei dem ein Korb am türseitigen Gehäuse befestigt werden kann, um ein Mitdrehen der Teile in dem Korb zu verhindern. Der Korb besitzt eine Klemmvorrichtung, die am unteren Öffnungsrand der Gehäuseöffnung geklemmt und mit einem Hebel betätigt werden kann.From the EP 1 690 973 A1 is known as a laundry treating machine, a dryer with a rotatable drum, in which a basket can be attached to the door-side housing to prevent co-rotation of the parts in the basket. The basket has a clamping device which can be clamped at the lower opening edge of the housing opening and operated by a lever.

Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem, eine Einrichtung zur Aufnahme der Bekleidungsstücke für eine Wäschebehandlungsmaschine vorzusehen, die insbesondere die geschilderten Nachteile überwindet, wobei der flexible Einsatz wesentlich verbessert werden soll.The invention thus presents the problem of providing a device for receiving the garments for a laundry treatment machine, which overcomes in particular the disadvantages described, wherein the flexible insert is to be substantially improved.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem mit einer Wäschebehandlungsmaschine mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 sowie einer Einrichtung zur stationären Fixierung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 14 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen 2 bis 13.According to the invention this problem is solved with a laundry treatment machine with the features of claim 1 and a device for stationary fixation with the features of claim 14. Advantageous embodiments and modifications of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims 2 to 13.

Die mit der Erfindung erreichbaren Vorteile bestehen darin, dass die Einrichtung flexibel handhabbar ist und als Zubehörteil bei den Wäschebehandlungsmaschinen, wie beispielsweise Waschmaschine und Wäschetrockner, zum Einsatz kommen kann. Dabei besteht die Einrichtung aus einem an der Trommelwand verspannbaren Basisteil und einem mit dem Basisteil in Wirkverbindung bringbaren separaten Objektteil, welches zur Aufnahme der Bekleidungsstücke bestimmt ist. Die Einrichtung lässt sich somit leicht und einfach in die Trommel einbringen und auch entsprechend nach dem Benutzen wieder aus der Trommel herausnehmen. Dabei ist das Basisteil als ein in der Trommelwand anliegendes Formteil ausgebildet, welches mittels eines Spannelementes in der Trommel festlegbar ist. Das Basisteil als solches weist hierbei eine gebogene Schalenform auf, die mittels des Spannelementes zwischen zwei Trommelrippen festlegbar ist. Das Spannelement als solches befindet sich an der hinteren Seitenwand des Basisteils, wobei die vordere Seitenwand des Basisteils sich an der vorderen Stirnwand der Trommel im Bereich der Beschickungsöffnung untergreifend abstützt. Für das Basisteil wird eine Stabillage in der Trommel dadurch erreicht, dass neben den Rippen auch eine quer dazu verspannbare Achse gebildet wird, die sich vom Trommelboden hin zur vorderen Stirnwand erstreckt. Das Spannelement verspannt das Basisteil zwischen dem hinteren Trommelboden und der vorderen Stirnwand im Bereich des Öffnungsrandes der Beschickungsöffnung. Die Richtungsangaben beziehen sich auf die betriebsgemäße Aufstellposition der Wäschebehandlungsmaschine.The achievable with the invention advantages are that the device is flexible and can be used as an accessory in the laundry treatment machines, such as washing machine and dryer used. In this case, the device consists of a base part which can be braced on the drum wall and a separate object part which can be brought into operative connection with the base part and which is intended for receiving the items of clothing. The device can thus easily and easily bring into the drum and also remove accordingly after use again from the drum. In this case, the base part is formed as a fitting in the drum wall molding, which is fixed by means of a clamping element in the drum. The base part as such in this case has a curved shell shape, which can be fixed by means of the clamping element between two drum ribs. As such, the tensioning element is located on the rear side wall of the base part, wherein the front side wall of the base part is supported on the front end wall of the drum in the region of the feed opening. For the base part a Stabillage in the drum is achieved in that in addition to the ribs and a transverse thereto braced axis is formed, which extends from the drum base toward the front end wall. The clamping element braces the base part between the rear drum bottom and the front end wall in the region of the opening edge of the feed opening. The directional information refers to the operational installation position of the laundry treatment machine.

Dabei umfasst das Spannelement als solches einen am Basisteil schwenkbar gelagerten Kniehebel, der zur verspannenden Festlegung des Basisteils über einen Totpunkt schwenkbar am Basisteil angeordnet ist. Zu dem befindet sich an dem Basisteil ein Anlageteil, welches sich im geschwenkten Zustand an den Trommelboden zumindest nahezu formschlüssig anlegt und eine Anlage für den Kniehebel bildet. Wird der Kniehebel zum Anlageteil hin über den Todpunkt verschwenkt, so bildet der Kniehebel mit dem Anlageteil im verspannten Zustand eine Rastverbindung.As such, the clamping element comprises a toggle lever pivotally mounted on the base part, which is arranged pivotably on the base part for clamping the base part over a dead center. For this is located on the base part of a plant part, which at least almost positively engages in the pivoted state of the drum bottom and forms a system for the toggle. If the toggle lever is pivoted to the contact part over the dead center, the toggle lever forms a latching connection with the contact part in the tensioned state.

Das Basisteil und das Objektteil sind mittels einer Klemmrastverbindung lösbar verbunden. Somit ergibt sich in einfacher Weise einmal ein leichtes Herausnehmen des Objektteiles aus der Trommel durch das Lösen vom Basisteil, so dass entsprechend die Kleidungsstücke in das Objektteil leicht eingelegt bzw. eingefasst werden können. Das Objektteil umfasst hierbei ein flexibel gehaltenes Behältnis, welches auf einem plattenförmigen Formteil befestigt ist. Das plattenförmige Formteil bildet einen Formschluss mit der Schalenform des Basisteils. Dabei kann beispielsweise das Behältnis eine wasserdurchlässige Tasche sein, aber auch ein Netz oder auch ein Korb sind als Behältnis denkbar.The base part and the object part are detachably connected by means of a clamping detent connection. This results in a simple way once easy removal of the object part of the drum by the release of the base part, so that corresponding to the garments in the object part can be easily inserted or edged. The object part in this case comprises a flexibly held container which is fastened on a plate-shaped molded part. The plate-shaped molding forms a positive connection with the shell shape of the base part. In this case, for example, the container may be a water-permeable bag, but also a network or a basket are conceivable as a container.

Die Erfindung betrifft ferner eine Einrichtung zur stationären Fixierung von Bekleidungsstücken in einer Trommel einer Wäschebehandlungsmaschine, wobei die Einrichtung zur Festlegung in der Trommel nach den vorbeschriebenen aufgeführten Merkmalen ausgebildet ist. Eine solche Einrichtung kann als Zubehörteil nachträglich in eine bereits vorhandene Wäschebehandlungsmaschine eingebracht werden.The invention further relates to a device for stationary fixation of garments in a drum of a laundry treatment machine, wherein the means for fixing in the drum according to the above-mentioned features is formed. Such a device can be subsequently introduced as an accessory in an existing laundry treatment machine.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine Wäschebehandlungsmaschine 1, wie dies beispielsweise eine Waschmaschine oder ein Wäschetrockner sein kann. Die Wäschebehandlungsmaschine 1 umfasst hierbei eine in einem Gehäuse 2 drehbar gelagerte Trommel 3, die mit einer frontseitigen Beschickungsöffnung 4 versehen ist. Dabei ist in der Trommel 3 zur stationären Fixierung von nicht näher dargestellten Bekleidungsstücken an der mantelseitigen Trommelwand 5 der Trommel 3 eine Einrichtung 6 zur Aufnahme der Bekleidungsstücke vorgesehen. Die Einrichtung 6 als solches ist hierbei in den Figuren 5 und 6 zu erkennen. Dabei besteht die Einrichtung 6 aus einem an der Trommelwand 5 verspannbaren Basisteil 7 und einem mit dem Basisteil 7 in Wirkverbindung bringbaren Objektteil 8, welches zur Aufnahme der Bekleidungsstücke bestimmt ist. Wie aus den Figuren 2, 3 und 4 zu erkennen ist, ist das Basisteil 7 als ein an die mantelseitige Trommelwand 5 anliegendes Formteil ausgebildet, welches mittels eines Spannelementes 9 in der Trommel 3 festlegbar ist. Das Basisteil 7 weist hierbei eine gebogene Schalenform auf, wobei die Bogenform der Krümmung des Trommelmantels folgt, um eine formschlüssige Anlage zu bieten, wie dies in der perspektivischen Darstellung der Figur 4 deutlich zu erkennen ist. Diese Schalenform ist mittels des Spannelementes 9 zwischen zwei Trommelrippen 10 und 11 festlegbar. Das Spannelement 9 ist hierbei an der hinteren Seitenwand 12 des Basisteils 7 angeordnet. Wie aus der Figur 3 zu erkennen ist, untergreift hierbei das Basisteil 7 mit seiner vorderen Seitenwand 13 den Kragenrand 14 der Beschickungsöffnung 4. Somit wird das Basisteil 7 zwischen dem hinteren Trommelboden 15 und der vorderen Stirnwand 14 im Bereich der Beschickungsöffnung 4 der Trommel 3 verspannt.The FIG. 1 shows a laundry treatment machine 1, as this may be, for example, a washing machine or a tumble dryer. The laundry treating machine 1 in this case comprises a rotatably mounted in a housing 2 drum 3, which is provided with a front-side feed opening 4. It is provided in the drum 3 for stationary fixation of garment items not shown on the shell-side drum wall 5 of the drum 3, a means 6 for receiving the garments. The device 6 as such is here in the Figures 5 and 6 to recognize. In this case, the device 6 consists of a brace on the drum wall 5 base part 7 and a can be brought into operative connection with the base part 7 object part 8, which is intended for receiving the garments. Like from the Figures 2 . 3 and 4 can be seen, the base part 7 is formed as a voltage applied to the shell-side drum wall 5 molding, which is fixed by means of a clamping element 9 in the drum 3. The base part 7 in this case has a curved shell shape, wherein the arc shape follows the curvature of the drum shell to provide a positive fit, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 4 is clearly visible. This shell shape can be fixed by means of the tensioning element 9 between two drum ribs 10 and 11. The Clamping element 9 is in this case arranged on the rear side wall 12 of the base part 7. Like from the FIG. 3 can be seen, this engages the base part 7 with its front side wall 13, the collar edge 14 of the loading opening 4. Thus, the base part 7 between the rear drum bottom 15 and the front end wall 14 in the region of the feed opening 4 of the drum 3 is braced.

Wie sich das Spannelement 9 in seiner Funktionsweise darstellt, wird in der Figur 3 deutlich, wo die verspannende Situation dargestellt ist. Hierbei umfasst das Spannelement 9 einen am Basisteil 7 schwenkbar gelagerten Kniehebel 16, der zur verspannenden Festlegung des Basisteils 7 über einen Totpunkt schwenkbar am Basisteil 7 angeordnet ist. Wie aus den Figuren 3, 4 und 5 zu erkennen ist, ist an dem Basisteil 7 ein Anlageteil 17 schwenkbar vorgesehen, welches sich im geschwenkten Zustand an den Trommelboden 15 formschlüssig anlegt, und eine Anlage für den Kniehebel 16 bildet. Wie deutlich aus der Figur 3 zu erkennen ist, liegt das Anlageteil 17 zumindest nahezu formschlüssig an dem Trommelboden 15 an. Wird nun der Kniehebel 16 entsprechend verschwenkt, so ergibt sich eine Spannbewegung über das Basisteil 7, welches an der Trommelwand 5 vorhanden ist. Das Basisteil 7 schiebt sich dann nach vorne zur Stirnwand 14 bzw. zum Öffnungsrand der Trommel 3. Dabei geht der Kniehebel 16 mit dem Anlageteil 17 im verspannten Zustand eine Rastverbindung 18 ein, wobei die Rastverbindung 18 noch einen Spalt 19 nach hinten offen lässt, so dass man, um die Einrichtung 6 aus der Trommel 3 herauszulösen, leicht den unter Druck stehenden Kniehebel 16 wieder lösen kann, in dem man ihn auf Zug beansprucht, so dass sich die Rastverbindung 18 wieder löst.How the clamping element 9 is in its operation, is in the FIG. 3 clearly where the tightening situation is shown. Here, the clamping element 9 comprises a pivotally mounted on the base member 7 toggle lever 16 which is arranged for clamping the base part 7 pivotally about a dead center on the base part 7. Like from the Figures 3 . 4 and 5 can be seen, a system part 17 is pivotally provided on the base part 7, which engages positively in the pivoted state of the drum bottom 15, and forms a system for the toggle lever 16. How clear from the FIG. 3 can be seen, the contact part 17 is at least almost positively against the drum bottom 15. If now the toggle lever 16 is pivoted accordingly, the result is a clamping movement over the base part 7, which is present on the drum wall 5. The base member 7 then slides forward to the end wall 14 and the opening edge of the drum 3. In this case, the toggle lever 16 with the contact part 17 in the clamped state, a latching connection 18, wherein the latching connection 18 still leaves a gap 19 to the rear, so in that in order to release the device 6 from the drum 3, it is easy to release the pressurized toggle lever 16, in which it is subjected to tension, so that the latching connection 18 releases again.

Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung, dargestellt in den Figuren 5 und 6, sind das Basisteil 7 und das Objektteil 8 mittels einer Klemm- oder Rastverbindung verbindbar. Das Objektteil 8 umfasst hierbei ein flexibel gehaltenes Behältnis 20, welches auf einem plattenförmigen Formteil 21 befestigt ist. Dabei kann das plattenförmige Formteil 21 leicht durch Formschluss mit der Schalenform des Basisteils 7 verbunden werden. Wie aus der Darstellung der Figuren ersichtlich, umfasst hierbei das Behältnis 20 eine wasserdurchlässige Tasche, die mit einem Reißverschluss 22 verschlossen werden kann. Denkbar ist hier auch, statt einer Tasche, Körbe oder Netze vorzusehen.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, shown in the Figures 5 and 6 , The base part 7 and the object part 8 by means of a clamping or latching connection can be connected. The object part 8 in this case comprises a flexibly held container 20, which is fastened on a plate-shaped molded part 21. In this case, the plate-shaped part 21 can be easily connected by positive engagement with the shell shape of the base part 7. As can be seen from the illustration of the figures, in this case the container 20 comprises a water-permeable pocket, which can be closed with a zipper 22. It is also conceivable to provide baskets or nets instead of a bag.

Es versteht sich von selbst, dass die Einrichtung 6 auch als Zubehörteil in bereits vorhandene Wäschebehandlungsmaschinen 1 eingesetzt werden kann, so dass ein Nachrüsten jederzeit mit einer derartigen Einrichtung 6 vorgenommen werden kann. Um nun das Basisteil 7 einzusetzen, wird zunächst die Schalenform zwischen die Rippen 10 und 11 gelegt, wobei dann erst das Anlageteil 17 gegen den Trommelboden 15 gedrückt wird, bevor dann der als Spannhebel ausgebildete Kniehebel 16 auf das Anlageteil 17 gedrückt wird, so dass die Verspannung des Basisteils 7 an der Trommelwand 5 gegeben ist. Ist das Basisteil 7 fest an der Trommelwand 5 verspannt, so kann dann das plattenförmige Formteil 21 mit dem Behältnis 20 derart einrasten, dass es eine feste Verbindung mit dem Basisteil 7 einnimmt.It goes without saying that the device 6 can also be used as an accessory in already existing laundry treatment machines 1, so that retrofitting can be carried out at any time with such a device 6. In order to use the base part 7, the shell shape is first placed between the ribs 10 and 11, in which case only the contact part 17 is pressed against the drum bottom 15, before then the tension lever designed as toggle lever 16 is pressed onto the contact part 17, so that the Strain of the base part 7 is given to the drum wall 5. Is the base part 7 fixed to the Drum wall 5 braced so then the plate-shaped molding 21 with the container 20 engage such that it assumes a firm connection with the base part 7.
