Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein gattungsgemäßes Haushaltsgerät bereitzustellen, bei dem die mechanische Stabilität der Frontblende erhöht ist. The object of the present invention is to provide a generic household appliance, in which the mechanical stability of the front panel is increased.
Erfindungsgemäß ist dies bei einem Haushaltsgerät nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 dadurch gelöst, daß die Frontblende sich um eine vertikale Achse im wesentlichen gleichmäßig gebogen über die Breite der Frontblende zylinderwandabschnittsförmig erstreckt. Da Haushaltsgeräte erfahrungsgemäß beim Transport bzw. bei der Montage regelmäßig an der Frontblende gegriffen und gehoben bzw. verschoben werden, ist sowohl deren Eigenstabilität als auch deren sichere Befestigung am Haushaltsgerät besonders wichtig. Durch die gebogene Ausgestaltung der Frontblende wird auf fertigungstechnisch sehr einfache Weise zum einen deren Stabilität deutlich erhöht und zum anderen zusätzliche Grifffläche an der Unterseite der Frontblende zum Erleichtern des Anhebens des Haushaltsgerätes bereitgestellt. Dabei ist die zusätzliche Grifffläche vorteilhafterweise im wesentlichen in der Mitte der Frontblende bereitgestellt, was zur symmetrischen Krafteinleitung in diese beim Anheben führt. Dies führt auch zu einer gleichmäßigen Belastung der häufig symmetrisch zur Mittelachse der Frontblende angeordneten Befestigungsstellen zwischen Haushaltsgerät und Frontblende. Zusätzlich wurde festgestellt, daß durch die nach vorne gebogene Ausgestaltung der Frontblende deren Temperatur deutlich reduziert wird.This is according to the invention in a household appliance according to the preamble of the claim 1 solved in that the front panel is substantially about a vertical axis evenly curved across the width of the front panel in the form of a section of a cylinder wall extends. As experience has shown that household appliances are used for transport and for Assembly can be gripped and lifted or moved regularly on the front panel, is both their inherent stability and their secure attachment to the household appliance particularly important. Due to the curved design of the front panel, the manufacturing technology very simple way on the one hand significantly increases their stability and on the other other additional grip area on the underside of the front panel to facilitate the Lifting the home appliance provided. The additional grip surface is advantageous provided essentially in the middle of the faceplate, resulting in symmetrical introduction of force into this leads when lifting. This also leads to a uniform loading of the often symmetrical to the central axis of the front panel Fastening points between the household appliance and the front panel. In addition it was found that due to the forward curved design of the front panel whose temperature is significantly reduced.
Vorzugsweise ist die Frontblende an einem Blendenrahmen gehaltert, der an dem Haushaltsgerät befestigt ist. Durch den Blendenrahmen werden die eingeschränkten Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten der Strangpreß-Frontblende bezüglich des Vorsehens von Befestigungsabschnitten in den Randbereichen der Frontblende deutlich erweitert. Insbesondere ist ein Befestigen der Frontblende bzw. des Blendenrahmens durch horizontal angeordnete Schrauben oder ähnlichem möglich. Eine Verringerung der Wärmeleitung vom Haushaltsgerät bzw. dessen Komponenten zur Frontblende kann dadurch erreicht werden, daß der Blendenrahmen aus einem geeigneten Kunststoff besteht. Erfindungsgemäß kann durch den Rahmen auf besonders einfache Weise noch eine weitere Funktion übemommen werden, wenn der Blendenrahmen zumindest eine Rahmenplatte aufweist zum Abdecken von einer sich durch den nach vorne gebogenen Verlauf der Bedienblende ergebenden kreissegmentförmigen Öffnung zwischen dem Haushaltsgerät und der Bedienblende. Es müssen also keine zusätzlichen Abdeckteile montiert werden, oder das Gehäuse des Haushaltsgerätes alleine wegen der Verwendung der erfindungsgemäß gebogenen Blende anders gestaltet werden als bei Haushaltsgeräten desselben Typs, bei denen eine ungebogene, ebene Frontblende verwendet wird. Die Abdeckung ist besonders wichtig, um das Eindringen von aus dem Haushaltsgerät unterhalb der Frontblende austretenden Wrasen oder ähnlichem in den Bereich hinter der Frontblende zu vermeiden. Zur weiteren Erhöhung der Stabilität der Blendenanordnung weisen der Blendenrahmen und die Frontblende korrespondierende Abstützabschnitte auf, in denen beide bei Kraftbeaufschlagung in vertikaler Richtung formschlüssig miteinander verbunden sind. Dadurch ist ein stabiler und sicherer Aufbau des Haushaltsgerätes gewährleistet, falls es möglich ist, die Frontblende lediglich am Blendenrahmen zu greifen und zu heben.The front panel is preferably held on a panel frame on the domestic appliance is attached. The restricted design options are due to the cover frame the extrusion faceplate with respect to the provision of mounting portions significantly expanded in the edge areas of the front panel. In particular is a fastening of the front panel or the panel frame by horizontally arranged Screws or the like possible. A reduction in heat conduction from the household appliance or its components for the front panel can be achieved in that the cover frame is made of a suitable plastic. According to the invention yet another function is performed in a particularly simple manner by the frame if the panel frame has at least one frame plate for covering from a result of the forward curvature of the control panel Circular segment-shaped opening between the household appliance and the control panel. So no additional cover parts need to be installed, or the housing of the household appliance solely because of the use of the bent according to the invention Aperture can be designed differently than for household appliances of the same type, at which use an unbent, flat front panel. The cover is special important to prevent intrusion from the home appliance below the front bezel to avoid escaping vapors or similar in the area behind the front panel. To further increase the stability of the panel arrangement, the panel frame and the front panel corresponding support sections, in which both at Force application in the vertical direction are positively connected. This ensures a stable and safe construction of the household appliance, if it it is possible to grip and lift the front panel only by the panel frame.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist die Bedienblende an ihrem unteren Endabschnitt eine sich über im wesentlichen deren gesamte Breite erstreckende Blendenplatte auf, unterhalb derer ein Eingriffsraum zum Anheben des Haushaltsgerätes an der Bedienblende vorgesehen ist. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, daß eine Bedienperson die Frontblende direkt untergreifen kann, wenn sie mit Hilfe der Frontblende das Haushaltsgerät heben bzw. bewegen will. Der Eingriffsraum kann sich auch erst dann ergeben, wenn eine Tür unterhalb der Frontblende geöffnet oder demontiert ist.According to a preferred embodiment, the control panel has at its lower End section an aperture plate extending over substantially its entire width on, below which an intervention space for lifting the household appliance the control panel is provided. This ensures that an operator Front panel can directly reach under if you use the front panel of the household appliance wants to lift or move. The area of intervention can only arise if if a door below the front panel is open or removed.
