Abstract
Water-conducting household appliance, in particular dishwasher, comprising a circulation pump (3) having a tube-like outlet connector (4) and a subsequent tube (5) connected to the outlet connector (4), wherein a decoupling device (6, 6′) for damping vibrations generated by the circulation pump (3) is provided between the outlet connector (4) and the subsequent tube (5).
Claims11
A water-conducting household appliance comprising:
- a circulation pump having a tube-like outlet connector and a subsequent tube connected to the outlet connector;
- and
- a decoupling device for damping vibrations generated by the circulation pump, the decoupling device being provided between the outlet connector and the subsequent tube,
- wherein the decoupling device comprises at least one sealing element made of a material adapted to dampen the vibrations generated by the circulation pump, wherein the sealing element seals a radial distance between the outlet connector or an extension element directly connected to the outlet connector and the subsequent tube or a connection element directly connected to the subsequent tube, and
- wherein the sealing element is formed on or extruded onto the outer surface of the outlet connector or the extension element or the inner surface of the subsequent tube or the connection element.
