Abstract

The invention relates to a domestic appliance for washing or drying laundry. Such domestic appliances are usually provided with a drawer (3) for the detergent or the condensate mounted in the upper zone thereof whose front is linked with a three-dimensional grip plate (4). During operation of the machine said grip plate is accommodated in a recess so as to be at least substantially flush with the user panel (2) disposed on front of the machine. In order to provide a child safety device, a detent shoulder (9) is mounted on the frame of the recess and a bar (8) is held in the detent position in the rear cavity of the grip plate (4) by the action of a spring (15). A lock holds the bar (8) in the non-detent position when a lock slide (10) is in the locking position.

Description

Haushaltmaschine zum Waschen oder Trocknen von Wäsche Household machine for washing or drying laundry
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Haushaltmaschine zum Waschen oder Trocknen von Wäsche mit einer im oberen Bereich angeordneten Schublade für die Aufnahme von Waschmitteln oder Kondensat und mit einer vorn an der Schublade befestigten dreidimensionalen Griffplatte, die während des Betriebs der Maschine in einer Ausnehmung einer wenigstens annähernd flächenbündig mit der Vorderseite der Maschine angeordneten Bedienblende eingefügt ist.The invention relates to a household machine for washing or drying laundry with a drawer arranged in the upper area for receiving detergents or condensate and with a three-dimensional handle plate attached to the front of the drawer, which during operation of the machine in a recess of an at least approximately flush with control panel arranged on the front of the machine is inserted.
Derartige Haushaltmaschinen sind geläufig und im Verkehr stark verbreitet. Man hat versucht, an solchen Maschinen Sicherungseinrichtungen zur Vermeidung der Benutzung der Maschinen überhaupt oder auch an Waschmaschinen zur Benutzung der Schublade einer Waschmitteleinspüleinrichtung durch fremde bzw. nicht autorisierte Personen anzu- bringen. Hauptzielrichtung der Personen sind vor allem Kinder, weshalb solche Einrichtungen allgemein auch als Kindersicherungen bekannt sind.Such household machines are common and widely used in traffic. Attempts have been made to attach safety devices to such machines to avoid the use of the machines at all or also to washing machines to use the drawer of a detergent dispenser by foreign or unauthorized persons. The main aim of the people is mainly children, which is why such facilities are generally known as child safety devices.
Indes sind alle bisherigen Vorschläge für solche Kindersicherungen in irgend einer Weise unbefriedigend. So ist beispielsweise die aus der DE 31 01 745 A1 bekannte Kindersicherung an einer Waschmittelschublade deshalb unbefriedigend, weil sie einseits zu einfach überwindbar und andererseits zu kompliziert außer Kraft setzbar ist.However, all previous proposals for such child safety devices are unsatisfactory in some way. For example, the child lock on a detergent drawer known from DE 31 01 745 A1 is unsatisfactory because it is too easy to overcome on the one hand and can be overridden too complicated on the other.
Der Erfindung liegt die Auifdagbe zugrunde, bei einer Maschine der eingangs genannten Art die Sicherung so zu gestalten, dass sie nicht auf kindlich einfache Weise überwindbar aber doch für Erwachsene durchschnittlicher Intelligenz ohne komplizierte Handgriffe außer Kraft setzbar ist. Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass am Rahmen der Ausnehmung eine Rastkante angebracht ist und im rückwärtigen Hohlraum der Griffplatte ein durch eine Feder in Raststellung gehaltener Riegel angeordnet ist, der durch eine Arretierung außerhalb der Raststellung gehalten werden kann, wenn ein Arretierschieber in einer Arretierstellung steht. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung mehrer miteinander in Funk- tionsverbindung stehender Elemente ist die Überwindung einer Sperre des Zugangs zur Waschmittelschublade durch Kinder nicht mehr ohne weiteres möglich. Andererseits können Bedienungspersonen durchschnittlicher Intelligenz die Arretierung ohne Anstrengung und ohne Zuhilfenahme von Werkzeugen außer Kraft setzen. In einer besonders vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Riegel mit einer Handhabe fest verbunden, die zur Vorderseite der Griffplatte hindurchragt. Die griffgünstig angeordnete Handhabe erleichtert sowohl die jeweils einmalige Überwindung der Ver- rastung der Schublade wie auch die dauerhafte Außerkraftsetzung der Arretierung. In einer konstruktiv einfach zu gestaltenden Form der erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahme greift der Riegel mit einem Halterastelement in eine Gegenrast am Arretierschieber ein, wenn sich sowohl der Riegel in nicht rastender Position als auch der Arrierschieber in arretierender Postion befinden. Dadurch kommt die Gestaltung der Kindersicherung mit maximal drei zusätzlichen Bauteilen aus - Riegel, Feder und Arretierschieber. Durch eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausformung der erfindungsgemäßen Maschine, in der die Feder Bestandteil des aus Kunststoff bestehenden Riegels ist, wobei ein Teil des Riegels, der sich an einer Gegenlage der Griffplatte abstützt, längenelastisch gestaltet ist, kann ein weiteres Mal auf ein Bauteil verzichtet werden, nämlich auf die Feder, die dann durch das längenelastische Teil des Riegels ersetzt wird. Dann sind nur noch zwei zusätzliche, einfach gestaltete und zu montierende Teile für die Realisierung der Aufgabe erforderlich.The invention is based on the Auifdagbe designing the safety of a machine of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it cannot be overcome in a childishly simple manner, but can be overridden for adults of average intelligence without complicated manipulations. According to the invention the object is achieved in that a latching edge is attached to the frame of the recess and in the rear cavity of the handle plate is arranged a latch held by a spring in the latching position, which can be held by a lock outside the latched position when a locking slide in a locking position stands. Due to the arrangement according to the invention of a plurality of elements which are functionally connected to one another, it is no longer possible for children to easily overcome a barrier to access to the detergent drawer. On the other hand, operators of average intelligence can override the lock without effort and without the use of tools. In a particularly advantageous development of the invention, the latch is firmly connected to a handle which projects through to the front of the handle plate. The handle, which is conveniently located, makes it easier both to overcome the locking of the drawer once and to permanently override the locking mechanism. In a structurally simple form of the measure according to the invention, the bolt engages with a retaining catch element in a counter-catch on the locking slide when both the bolt is in the non-locking position and the locking slide is in the locking position. As a result, the design of the child lock comes with a maximum of three additional components - latch, spring and locking slide. A further advantageous embodiment of the machine according to the invention, in which the spring is a component of the bar made of plastic, part of the bar which is supported on a counter surface of the handle plate being length-elastic means that a component can be dispensed with again. namely on the spring, which is then replaced by the length-elastic part of the bolt. Then only two additional, simply designed and assembled parts are required to complete the task.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Waschmaschine hat oberhalb einer frontseitigen Einfüllöffnung 1 eine Bedienblende 2, neben der die Aiusnehmung für eine Waschmittelschublade 3, hier nur schematisch angedeutet, angeordnet ist. Die Waschmittelschublade 3 hat vorn eine Blendenplatte 4, die in der Regel der Form und dem Design der Bedienblende 2 ange- passt ist und häufig auch Griffplatte genannt wird. An einer griffgünstigen Stelle der Griffplatte 4 ist eine Griffmulde 5 angebracht, die etwas hinter die Front zurückweicht, damit die Finger einer Bedienungsperson darin Platz haben. Vor den oberen Bereich der Griffmulde 5 ist eine Abdeckplatte 6 gesetzt, damit schließlich die Finger der Bedienungsper- son dahinter griefen können, um an der Griffplatte 4 bzw. an der Abdeckplatte 6 die Waschmittelschublade 3 heraus ziehen zu können.The washing machine shown in FIG. 1 has a control panel 2 above a front filling opening 1, next to which the recess for a detergent drawer 3, here only indicated schematically, is arranged. The detergent drawer 3 has a front panel plate 4, which generally corresponds to the shape and design of the control panel 2. fits and is often called the grip plate. At a convenient location on the handle plate 4, a recessed grip 5 is attached, which withdraws somewhat behind the front so that the fingers of an operator have space in it. A cover plate 6 is placed in front of the upper area of the recessed grip 5, so that the operator's fingers can finally dig behind it in order to be able to pull the detergent drawer 3 out of the grip plate 4 or cover plate 6.
In Fig. 2 ist die Waschmittelschublade 3, immer noch schematisch dargestellt, vergrößert und aus der Ausnehmung heraus genommen gezeigt. Außerdem ist hier die Abdeckplatte vor der Griffmulde 5 entfernt, so dass eine ansonsten hinter der Abdeckplatte 6 (Fig. 1) verborgene Handhabe 7 erkennbar ist, die seitlich verschiebbar betätigt werden kann und dabei einen hinter der Griffplatte 4 gelagerten Riegel 8 (Fig. 5) betätigt, wie weiter unten noch ausgeführt wird. Dieser Riegel 8 kann - wie Fig. 5 bei völlig entfernter Waschmittelschublade 3 erkennen lässt - in einer nach rechts geschobenen Lage bei völlig eingeschobener Waschmittelschublade 3 hinter eine Rastkante 9 einer Falle 14 fassen und so die Waschmittelschublade 3 in der eingefahrenen Position arretieren. Dann ist dieIn Fig. 2, the detergent drawer 3, still shown schematically, is shown enlarged and removed from the recess. In addition, the cover plate in front of the recessed grip 5 is removed here, so that a handle 7, which is otherwise hidden behind the cover plate 6 (FIG. 1) and can be actuated laterally displaceably, can be seen, and a latch 8 mounted behind the handle plate 4 (FIG. 5 ) actuated, as will be explained further below. This bolt 8 can - as can be seen in FIG. 5 with the detergent drawer 3 completely removed - in a position pushed to the right with the detergent drawer 3 fully inserted behind a latching edge 9 of a latch 14 and thus lock the detergent drawer 3 in the retracted position. Then it is
Waschmittelschublade 3 für nicht autorisierte Personen unzugänglich, d. h. die Kindersicherung ist wirksam.Detergent drawer 3 inaccessible to unauthorized persons, d. H. the child lock is effective.
Damit der Riegel 8 in dieser oder einer nicht arretierenden Position gehalten werden kann, ist hinter der Griffplatte 4 (Fig. 3) ein Arretierschieber 10 angeordnet, dessen Funk- tion zusammen mit den übrigen Funktionen auch des Riegels 8 anhand Fig. 4 und 6 erläutert wird.So that the bolt 8 can be held in this or a non-locking position, a locking slide 10 is arranged behind the handle plate 4 (FIG. 3), the function of which together with the other functions of the bolt 8 is also explained with reference to FIGS. 4 and 6 becomes.
In Fig. 4 ist die Griffplatte 4 von hinten gezeigt. Die Griffmulde wird durch eine von hinten sichtbare, oben offene Schale 11 gebildet, über deren Öffnung die Handhabe 7 für den Riegel 8 erkennbar ist. Der Riegel 8 ist beidseitig in schlitzförmigen Ausnehmungen 12 (Fig. 6) von kastenförmigen Schubführungen 13 gelagert. Manche Bauteile, wie diese4, the handle plate 4 is shown from behind. The recessed grip is formed by a shell 11, which is visible from behind and is open at the top, through the opening of which the handle 7 for the bolt 8 can be seen. The bolt 8 is mounted on both sides in slot-shaped recesses 12 (Fig. 6) of box-shaped slide guides 13. Some components, like this one
Schubführungen 13, sind wegen ihrer dünnen Wandstärken nur mit dicken Linien anstelle von Doppellinien gezeichnet, um die Übersichtlichkeit zu verbessern. An der in Fig. 4 linken Seite (von vorn betrachtet an der der rechten Seite) des Randes der Griffplatte 4 ragt der Riegel 8 ein kleines Stück heraus. Dort befindet sich eine im Rahmen der Ausneh- mung angeordnete Falle 14 mit der Rastkante 9, hinter die das heraus ragende Stück des Riegels 8 fallen kann, wenn er durch die Kraft der Feder 15, die zwischen einem Arm 16 des Riegels 8 und einer Gegenlage 17 an der Griffplatte 4 eingespannt ist, auf die Falle 14 hin geschoben wird. Auf seiner großen Länge wird der Riegel 8 einerseits durch eine obere Begrenzung 18 der Griffmulde 5 und andererseits durch die Gegenlage 17 und eine weitere an der Griffplatte 4 befestigte Führungslasche 19 geführt, so dass etwa über die Handhabe 7 eingeleitete Querkräfte den Riegel 8 nicht verbiegen können. In Fig. 4 rechts von der rechten Schubführung 13 ist der Arretierschieber 10 mittels seiner Grifflasche 20 in Pfeilrichtung verschieblich und mittels Lagerteilen 21 der Griffplatte 4 längsgeführt gelagert. Die Pfeile am Arretierschieber 10 und am Riegel 8 deuten je nach Füllung an, in welcher Richtung geschoben werden muss, um das Element in Riegelbzw. Arretierposition zu bringen. Ausgefüllt bedeutet die Riegel- bzw. Arretierposition, leer bedeutet die freie Position.Slide guides 13 are only drawn with thick lines instead of double lines because of their thin wall thicknesses in order to improve clarity. On the left in Fig. 4 (viewed from the front on the right side) of the edge of the handle plate 4, the latch 8 protrudes a little. There is a catch 14 arranged in the frame of the recess with the latching edge 9, behind which the protruding piece of the bolt 8 can fall when it is pressed by the force of the spring 15 between an arm 16 of the bolt 8 and a counterpart 17 is clamped on the handle plate 4, is pushed onto the case 14. Over its great length, the bolt 8 is guided on the one hand by an upper boundary 18 of the recessed grip 5 and on the other hand by the counter-layer 17 and a further guide plate 19 fastened to the grip plate 4, so that transverse forces introduced via the handle 7 cannot bend the bolt 8 , In FIG. 4 to the right of the right-hand slide guide 13, the locking slide 10 can be displaced in the direction of the arrow by means of its grip tab 20 and is mounted longitudinally by means of bearing parts 21 of the grip plate 4. The arrows on the locking slide 10 and on the bolt 8 indicate, depending on the filling, in which direction must be pushed in order to move the element in the bolt or. Bring locking position. Filled means the latch or locking position, empty means the free position.
Der Riegel 8 hat an seinem rechten, den Arretierschieber 10 an einem Durchbruch 22 durchdringenden Ende eine Kerbe 23, die mit einer Fahne 24 am Arretierschieber 10 zusammenwirkt, wenn der Riegel 8 in diese Position geschoben worden ist und diese Fahne 24 durch Bewegung des Arretierschiebers 10 nach oben in die Kerbe 23 gelangt ist. In dieser Position wird der Riegel 8 gegen die Kraft der Feder 15 gehalten und kann dann nicht mehr hinter die Rastkante 9 greifen, so dass die Waschmittelschublade 3 frei ein- und ausschiebbar ist.The bolt 8 has on its right end, which penetrates the locking slide 10 at an opening 22, a notch 23 which interacts with a flag 24 on the locking slide 10 when the bolt 8 has been pushed into this position and this flag 24 by movement of the locking slide 10 has come up into the notch 23. In this position, the latch 8 is held against the force of the spring 15 and can then no longer reach behind the latching edge 9, so that the detergent drawer 3 can be freely pushed in and out.
Zum Einrichten der Kindersicherung ist daher der Arretierschieber 10 wieder in die untere Position zu ziehen, so dass die Fahne 24 außer Eingiff mit der Kerbe 23 des Riegels 8 gelangt und dieser wieder kraft seiner Feder 15 in die Verriegelungsposition fällt. Dabei überragt er mit seinem in Fig. 4 linken Ende die Außenkante der Griffplatte 4, wird beim Einschieben der Waschmittelschublade 3 in die Ausnehmung durch eine Auflauffläche an der Falle 14 gegen den Federdruck kurzzeitig in die Griff platte 4 zurück geschoben und fällt danach hinter die Rastkante 9 der Falle 14, womit die Waschmittelschublade 3 in der geschlossenen Position verriegelt ist.To set up the child safety device, the locking slide 10 must therefore be pulled back into the lower position, so that the flag 24 disengages from the notch 23 of the bolt 8 and the latter falls back into the locking position due to its spring 15. 4, the outer edge of the handle plate 4, when the detergent drawer 3 is inserted into the recess, is pushed back briefly into the handle 4 against the spring pressure in the handle plate 4 and then falls behind the locking edge 9 the case 14, with which the detergent drawer 3 is locked in the closed position.
Zum jeweils einmaligen Öffnen der Waschmittelschublade 3 genügt einer versierten Person die rechtzeitig vor der Zugbewegung auszuführende Entriegelung des Riegels 8 aus der Rastkante 9. Nach Loslassen der Handhabe 7 fällt der Riegel 8 sofort wieder in die gefederte Riegelposition zurück, und beim nächsten Einschieben der Waschmittelschub- lade 3 erreicht er automatisch wieder die Riegellage.To open the detergent drawer 3 once, a savvy person simply unlocks the latch 8 from the catch edge 9 in good time before the pulling movement. After releasing the handle 7, the latch 8 immediately falls back into the spring-loaded latch position and the next time the detergent drawer is pushed in, load 3 it automatically returns to the latch position.
Soll die Kindersicherung auf Dauer wieder beseitigt werden, dann muss der Riegel 8 beim Betätigen der Handhabe 7 in der Entriegelungsposition arretiert werden. Dies geschieht dadurch, dass bei festgehaltenem Riegel 8 der Arretierschieber 10 in die obere Arretierlage überführt wird, wodurch sich der Lappen 24 in die Kerbe 23 des Riegels schiebt. Beim Loslassen des Riegels 8 hält diese Kerbe den Riegel 8 nun gegen seine Federkraft in dieser dauerhaft entriegelten Position fest.If the childproof lock is to be removed again in the long run, the bolt 8 must be locked in the unlocking position when the handle 7 is actuated. This is done by moving the locking slide 10 into the upper locking position while the bolt 8 is held, whereby the tab 24 is pushed into the notch 23 of the bolt. When the bolt 8 is released, this notch now holds the bolt 8 against its spring force in this permanently unlocked position.
Die Feder 15 kann wie hier gezeigt als Spiraldruckfeder aus Stahl ausgeführt sein. Sie kann demgegenüber aber auch als Zugfeder und/oder aus einem anderen Werkstoff her- gestellt sein. Eine mögliche Variante für die Feder wäre die einstückige Verbindung mit dem Kunststoff-Riegel 8. Dann wäre der Kunststoff zu Federungszwecken an der nämlichen Stelle mäanderförmig oder ähnlich längenelastisch zu gestalten.As shown here, the spring 15 can be designed as a spiral compression spring made of steel. In contrast, however, it can also be produced as a tension spring and / or from another material. A possible variant for the spring would be the one-piece connection with the plastic latch 8. Then the plastic would have to be made meandering or similar in length elasticity at the same point for suspension purposes.
Die Erfindung ist vorstehend anhand einer Waschmittelschublade für eine Waschmaschine beschrieben worden. Eine gleich gelagerte Motivation für den Schutz von Kindern liegt auch bei Kondensatbehältern vor, die ähnlich einer Waschmittelschublade im Raum neben der Bedienblende eines Wäschetrockners eine Griffplatte haben. Hier kann die Erfindung in gleicher oder ähnlicher Weise angewendet werden. The invention has been described above with reference to a detergent drawer for a washing machine. The same motivation for protecting children is also present in condensate containers, which, like a detergent drawer in the room, have a handle plate next to the control panel of a tumble dryer. Here, the invention can be applied in the same or a similar way.
