Washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher

Abstract

The invention relates to a washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher, comprising a housing and a plastic base having a plate-like base surface, the monolayer or multilayer base having integral one-piece fastening elements of functional units and/or integral one-piece housings or housing parts of such functional units. The lower face of the plastic base has a ribbed honeycomb structure which is open towards the surface and has webs between the cells, which extend substantially perpendicular to the surface of the base.

1 . A washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher comprising a housing and a plastic base consisting of a plate-shaped base area in a bottom zone of the housing for collecting leakage and condensate liquid, wherein the plastic base is a one-shell or multishell base comprising at least one of:
 (a) integral mounts for functional units including at least one of liquor vessel shock absorbers, pumps, solenoid valves, control electronics, filling containers, sensors, water detectors, sewage lines, flexible tubes, and cables; and   (b) integral housings or housing parts of functional units including at least one of liquid containers, pump housings, and control housings.   
     
     
         2 . The washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher according to  claim 1 , wherein areas for determining base elements are arranged at longitudinal sides of the plastic base. 
     
     
         3 . The washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher according to  claim 1 , wherein the integral housings include at least one of a waste water pump and a circulation pump integrally molded onto the plastic base. 
     
     
         4 . The washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher according to  claim 1 , wherein lateral water draining walls are integrally molded onto the plastic base. 
     
     
         5 . The washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher according to  claim 1 , wherein a bottom side of the plastic base has open-surface honeycomb ribs with cell webs that extend substantially vertically to the surface of the plastic base. 
     
     
         6 . The washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher according to  claim 5 , wherein the honeycomb ribs cover the bottom side of the plastic base on at least a part of the area. 
     
     
         7 . The washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher according to  claim 5 , wherein a cell structure of the honeycomb ribs has a hexagonal structure. 
     
     
         8 . The washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher according to  claim 5 , wherein the honeycomb ribs correspond to a Voronoi structure. 
     
     
         9 . The washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher according to  claim 5 , wherein the honeycomb ribs at least partially cover an exterior face of water draining walls integrally molded onto the plastic base. 
     
     
         10 . The washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher according to  claim 1 , wherein the plastic base comprises a thermoplastic material, especially polypropylene, optionally filled with fibers.
