Hydraulic connecting element of a water-conducting domestic appliance
View Patent ↗A water-conducting domestic appliance having a connector, a neck, and a connecting element that has at least one section formed by elastic material and an insertion end, wherein the connecting element connects the connector to the neck. A supporting ring is arranged at the insertion end, and the connecting element has an insertion region with an insertion rounding on the insertion end, wherein the insertion rounding runs tangentially into a sealing region.
1. A water-conducting domestic appliance, comprising:
a connector;
a neck;
a connecting element having an insertion end, the insertion end having a sealing region that is formed by elastic material and an insertion region adjacent to the sealing region, the connecting element to connect the connector to the neck; and
a supporting ring and sealing ring arranged at the insertion end;
wherein the insertion region comprises an insertion rounding, the insertion rounding comprising a non-elastic material and running tangentially into the sealing region.
2. The water-conducting domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein the water-conducting domestic appliance is one of a domestic dishwasher and a washing machine.
3. The water-conducting domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein the sealing region is formed at least by a sealing ring and the supporting ring.
4. The water-conducting domestic appliance of claim 3 , wherein an inner diameter of the sealing ring decreases in an insertion direction.
5. The water-conducting domestic appliance of claim 3 , wherein the sealing ring is drawn over the insertion rounding of the insertion region.
6. The water-conducting domestic appliance of claim 3 , wherein, in an insertion direction, the sealing ring only starts after the insertion region.
7. The water-conducting domestic appliance of claim 3 , wherein the sealing ring is outside, and wherein the supporting ring is inside.
8. The water-conducting domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein a first length of the insertion region and a second length of the sealing region has a ratio of three to one.
9. The water-conducting domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein a length of the connecting element is greater than a diameter of the connecting element.
10. The water-conducting domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein the sealing ring is inside, and wherein the supporting ring is outside.
11. The water-conducting domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein the insertion rounding comprises an insertion lug formed of substantially non-elastic material.
12. The water-conducting domestic appliance of claim 11 , wherein the insertion lug comprises a layer of elastic material covering a surface of a portion of the insertion lug facing an interior region of the connecting element.
13. The water-conducting domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein the supporting ring is thinner than the sealing ring.
14. The water-conducting domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein the supporting ring is formed of a substantially non-elastic material.
15. The water-conducting domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein the sealing ring is formed of a substantially elastic material.
16. The water-conducting domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein the sealing ring is formed as one piece with the connecting element.
17. The water-conducting domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein the supporting ring is connected in a substantially non-displaceable manner to the sealing ring.
18. The water-conducting domestic appliance of claim 1 , wherein a surface of the sealing ring facing an interior region of the connecting element is configured in a corrugated manner.
19. The water-conducting domestic appliance of claim 1 , further comprising a stop ring formed at a distal end of the sealing region.
20. A connecting element for a water-conducting domestic appliance, the connecting element comprising:
an insertion end having a sealing region formed by elastic material and an insertion region adjacent to the sealing region, wherein the insertion region comprises an insertion rounding, the insertion rounding comprising a non-elastic material and running tangentially into the sealing region;
a support ring and sealing ring arranged at the insertion end; and
wherein the connecting element is structured to connect a connector of the water-conducting domestic appliance with a neck of the water-conducting domestic appliance.
