DAMPER, IN PARTICULAR FRICTION DAMPER

Abstract

A damper, in particular for washing machines having a spin cycle, includes a housing having a central longitudinal axis and at least partially enclosing a housing inner space by housing walls, a tappet which can be displaced in the housing along the central longitudinal axis and is guided out of the housing, fastening members which are arranged at free ends of the housing and of the tappet, and at least one compensation member for compensating a play between the housing walls and the tappet.

Description

Claims

1. A damper, comprising a. a housing having a central longitudinal axis and at least partially enclosing a housing inner space by housing walls,b. a tappet which can be displaced in the housing along the central longitudinal axis and is guided out of the housing,c. fastening members which are fastened to free ends of the housing and the tappet, comprising d. at least one compensation member for compensating a play between the housing walls and the tappet.

2. The damper according to claim 1, wherein the damper is intended for washing machines having a spin cycle.

3. The damper according to claim 1, wherein the at least one compensation member is integrally formed on the tappet.

4. The damper according to claim 1, wherein the at least one compensation member is arranged at the housing.

5. The damper according to claim 4, wherein the at least one compensation member is fastened to the housing.

6. The damper according to claim 4, wherein the at least one compensation member is integrally formed.

7. The damper according to claim 1, wherein the at least one compensation member has a compensation member length which extends along the central longitudinal axis.

8. The damper according to claim 1, comprising two compensation members.

9. The damper according to claim 8, wherein the two compensation members are oriented in opposite directions with respect to a center plane of the tappet.

10. The damper according to claim 1, wherein the at least one compensation member holds the tappet in the housing without play.

11. The damper according to claim 1, wherein the at least one compensation member is configured as a lamella, wherein the lamella at least one of extends at least in portions transversely to the central longitudinal axis and is oriented obliquely.

12. The damper according to claim 11, wherein the lamella is configured in a wave-like manner.

13. The damper according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the housing and the tappet is double-T-shaped in cross-section.

14. The damper according to claim 13, wherein at least one of the housing and the tappet is perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis.

15. The damper according to claim 1, wherein the tappet has an intermediate web defining a center plane.

16. The damper according to claim 15, wherein the center plane comprises the central longitudinal axis.

17. The damper according to claim 1, wherein the tappet has at least one friction lining recess.

18. The damper according to claim 17, wherein the at least one friction lining recess completely penetrates the tappet.

19. The damper according to claim 17, wherein the at least one friction lining recess has one of a rectangular and diamond-shaped form.

20. The damper according to claim 17, wherein the friction lining recess is bounded by end sides located at the axial ends and longitudinal sides connecting the latter.

21. The damper according to claim 20, wherein at least one end side is configured to be serrated.

22. The damper according to claim 1, comprising at least one friction lining.

23. The damper according to claim 22, wherein the at least one friction lining is arranged in the at least one friction lining recess and rests in a frictional manner against at least one housing wall.

24. The damper according to claim 22, wherein the shape of the friction lining is adapted to the shape of a friction lining recess.

25. The damper according to claim 22, wherein the friction lining is configured to be serrated on at least one end side.

26. The damper according to claim 1, wherein the housing has a housing body.

27. The damper according to claim 26, wherein the housing body is made in one piece.

28. The damper according to claim 1, wherein at least one friction insert is arranged on the inside of the housing.

29. The damper according to claim 28, wherein the friction insert forms the at least one compensation member.
