Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine frontseitig beschickbare Geschirrspülmaschine mit einem Spülbehälter, sowie einer um eine horizontal verlaufende Achse schwenkbar am Maschinenkörper gelagerten Tür zum Verschluss einer Beschickungsöffnung des Spülbehälters, deren Innenwand mit ihrem bodenseitigen eine Türschnauze bildenden Rand hinter eine im Bereich der Unterkante der Beschickungsöffnung vom Spülbehälterboden hochgezogene Behälterschürze greift, mit Abstand über dem Spülbehälterboden endet, wobei zwischen der Tür und dem Spülbehälter eine Dichtung angeordnet ist, die als ein sich über die ganze Türbreite erstreckender Dichtstreifen ausgebildet ist und hierbei Führungs- und Halterungsmittel für die Dichtung zur Halterung der Dichtung in Ruhelage und zur Führung der Dichtung bei der Bewegung der Tür angeordnet sind.The invention relates to a front-loadable dishwasher with a rinsing container, and about a horizontally extending axis pivotally mounted on the machine body door for closing a feed opening of the washing, whose inner wall with its bottom side forming a door snout edge behind a raised in the region of the lower edge of the feed opening from Spülbehälterboden Container skirt engages, spaced above the Spülbehälterboden, wherein between the door and the rinsing container, a seal is arranged, which is formed as a over the entire door width extending sealing strip and this guide and support means for the seal for holding the seal in rest position and are arranged to guide the seal during the movement of the door.

Eine Geschirrspülmaschine der eingangs genannten Art ist aus dem DE-GM 70 22 821 bekannt, bei der ein Dichtstreifen aus einem gummielastischen Werkstoff so angeordnet ist, dass der zwischen den Seiten liegende Abschnitt des Dichtstreifens sich in einen Hohlraum zwischen einer Innen- und einer Außentür der schalenförmig aus einer Innen- und einer Außentür zusammengesetzten Tür hineinwölbt. Diese sich nach oben erstreckende Wölbung des Dichtstreifens bildet eine Art "Fangrinne" für Schmutz, der beim Umwälzen der Spülflüssigkeit ausgespült werden kann. Um diese sich nach oben erstreckende Wölbung des Dichtstreifens bilden zu können, wird der Dichtstreifen benachbart zu der Behälterschürze auf der Unterkante des Spülbehälterbodens und an der Türschnauze befestigt. In der Praxis hat sich gezeigt, dass aufgrund der Befestigung auf dem Spülbehälterboden Undichtheiten durch notwendige Bohrungen und Befestigungsmittel entstehen. Weiterhin hat sich in der Praxis gezeigt, dass durch die sehr starke Verformung der Dichtleiste beim Öffnen und Schließen der Tür eine Materialermüdung eintritt, die zum Brechen des gummielastischen Werkstoffes und zu der Gefahr der Undichtheit der Geschirrspülmaschine bzw. des Austrittes von Spülflüssigkeit aus der Geschirrspülmaschine führt. Außerdem wird durch die starke Verformung der Dichtleiste beim Öffnen und Schließen der Tür zum Bewegen der Tür eine verhältnismäßig große Kraft benötigt.A dishwasher of the type mentioned is known from DE-GM 70 22 821, in which a sealing strip of a rubber-elastic material is arranged so that the portion lying between the sides of the sealing strip is in a cavity between an inner and an outer door bowl-shaped inside of an inner and an outer door composed arched inside. This upwardly extending curvature of the sealing strip forms a kind of "gutter" for dirt, which can be flushed out when circulating the rinsing liquid. In order to be able to form this upwardly extending curvature of the sealing strip, the sealing strip is fastened adjacent to the container skirt on the lower edge of the Spülbehälterbodens and on the door snout. In practice, it has been found that due to the attachment to the Spülbehälterboden leaks caused by necessary holes and fasteners. Furthermore, it has been shown in practice that due to the very high deformation of the sealing strip when opening and closing the door material fatigue occurs, which leads to breakage of the rubber-elastic material and the risk of leakage of the dishwasher or the outlet of washing liquid from the dishwasher , In addition, a relatively large force is required by the strong deformation of the sealing strip when opening and closing the door to move the door.

Aus der DE 32 42 640 A1 ist eine Schürzendichtung für eine frontseitig beschickbare Geschirrspülmaschine bekannt. Die Schürzendichtung ist im Bereich einer Unterkante einer Beschickungsöffnung hochgezogen Schürze angeordnet. Hierbei weist eine um eine horizontale Achse schwenkbar gelagerte Tür eine Innentür auf, die mit ihrem bodenseitigen, eine bogenförmige Türschnauze bildenden Rand in der Schließ- und Offenstellung der Tür die Schürze übergreift. Die Innentür verfügt am Türschnauzenrand über eine leistenförmige Dichtung, die an der Schürze anliegt. Die leistenförmige Dichtung hat ein weniger elastisches Fußteil, das dicht am Türschnauzenrand befestigt ist und ein elastisches Kopfteil, das abdichtend an der Schürze anliegt, wobei das Fuß- und Kopfteil durch ein Filmscharnier beweglich miteinander verbunden sind. Das Filmscharnier dient damit als Gelenk zur Aufnahme der Drehbewegung der Tür.From the DE 32 42 640 A1 is an apron seal for a front-loading dishwasher known. The apron seal is arranged in the area of a lower edge of a feed opening raised apron. In this case, a pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis door has an inner door, which engages over the apron with its bottom side, an arcuate door snout edge forming in the closed and open position of the door. The inner door has a strip-shaped seal on the door snood edge, which rests against the skirt. The strip-shaped seal has a less elastic foot part, which is fastened tightly to the door snout edge and an elastic head part, which bears sealingly against the skirt, wherein the foot and head part are movably connected to one another by a film hinge. The film hinge thus serves as a hinge for receiving the rotational movement of the door.

Durch die geringe Verformung der Dichtung während der Bewegung der Tür wird der Kraftaufwand zum Bewegen der Tür gering gehalten. Die Führungs- und Halterungsmittel für die Dichtung sind weiterhin entsprechend der Aufgabe so gestaltet, dass sie die Dichtwirkung der Dichtung unterstützen, so dass jegliche zusätzliche Bohrungen und Befestigungsmittel der Dichtung im Dichtbereich vermieden werden. Mit der Erfindung ist auf einfache Art und Weise eine Geschirrspülmaschine der eingangs genannten Art geschaffen, bei der über eine lange Gebrauchsdauer eine einwandfreie Abdichtung und die Vermeidung von Schmutzablagerungen im Dichtbereich sowie ein geringer Kraftaufwand zum Bewegen der Tür gewährleistet ist.The guide and support means for the seal are designed according to the task so that the seal in the closed position of the door to avoid dirt deposits in the sealing area does not come into direct contact with the rinsing fluid and the movement of the door to ensure proper sealing over a long Duration of use is not greatly deformed. Due to the small deformation of the seal during the movement of the door, the force required to move the door is kept low. The guide and support means for the seal are further designed according to the purpose of supporting the sealing effect of the seal so as to avoid any additional holes and fasteners of the seal in the sealing area. With the invention, a dishwasher of the type mentioned above is provided in a simple manner in which over a long period of use a perfect seal and the prevention of dirt deposits in the sealing area and a small amount of force is required to move the door.
