Es zeigen:

  • Figur 1: eine Vorderansicht auf eine Tür eines erfindungsgemäßen Kühl- bzw. Gefriergerätes,
  • Figur 2: eine Draufsicht auf die Tür gemäß Figur 1,
  • Figur 3: eine Seitenansicht auf die Tür gemäß Figur 1 und
  • Figur 4: eine Detaildarstellung des Details 1 in Figur 3

  • FIG. 1 a front view of a door of a refrigerator or freezer according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 : a top view of the door according to FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 3 : a side view of the door according to FIG. 1 and
  • FIG. 4 : a detailed representation of the detail 1 in FIG. 3

Figur 1 zeigt in einer Vorderansicht eine aus einer Isolierglasscheibe bestehende Tür eines erfindungsgemäßen Kühl- bzw. Gefriergerätes. Wie dies aus Figur 1 hervorgeht, wird der Randbereich der Isolierglasscheibe nicht für das LCD-Display verwendet. In dem hier dargestellten Beispiel ist die seitliche Beabstandung 44mm bis zum Displaybereich und die vertikale Beabstandung 30mm bis zum Displaybereich. Selbstverständlich handelt es sich dabei nur um beispielhafte Werte, die die Erfindung nicht beschränken. Auch ist es denkbar, dass die gesamte Fläche des Verschlusselementes für das Display eingesetzt wird. FIG. 1 shows a front view of an existing insulating glass door of a refrigerator or freezer according to the invention. Like this FIG. 1 shows, the edge portion of the insulating glass is not used for the LCD display. In the example shown here, the lateral spacing is 44mm to the display area and the vertical spacing is 30mm to the display area. Of course, these are only exemplary values that do not limit the invention. It is also conceivable that the entire surface of the closure element is used for the display.

Das Bezugszeichen 20 kennzeichnet die seitlich überstehende Steuerelektronik für das LCD-Display.The reference numeral 20 denotes the laterally projecting control electronics for the LCD display.

Figur 2 zeigt die Tür gemäß Figur 1 in einer Draufsicht und Figur 3 in einer Seitenansicht. FIG. 2 shows the door according to FIG. 1 in a plan view and FIG. 3 in a side view.

Grundsätzlich kann sich das Display über die gesamte Fläche der Tür bzw. der Isolierglasscheibe oder bevorzugt nur über einen Teilbereich von dieser erstrecken.In principle, the display can extend over the entire surface of the door or the insulating glass pane or preferably only over a partial area thereof.

Aus der Detailansicht gemäß Figur 1 geht der mehrschichtige Aufbau der Isolierglasscheibe mit dem darin integrierten LCD-Display hervor.From the detail view according to FIG. 1 shows the multi-layered construction of the insulating glass pane with the integrated LCD display.

Das Bezugszeichen 1 kennzeichnet eine Frontscheibe der Tür, die nach außen, d.h. zur Umgebung hin gewandt ist. Diese Frontscheibe kann beispielsweise aus einem ESG-Glas bestehen. Mit dieser Scheibe 1 ist ein Abstandshalter 2 verbunden. Das Bezugszeichen 30 kennzeichnet das LCD-Display, das beispielsweise als Folie ausgeführt ist. Daran schließt sich ein weiterer Abstandshalter 3 an. Dieser steht in Verbindung mit der Innenseite 4, die beispielsweise als Float-Glas ausgeführt sein kann.The reference numeral 1 denotes a front window of the door facing outwards, i. turned to the environment. This windscreen may for example consist of a tempered safety glass. With this disc 1, a spacer 2 is connected. The reference numeral 30 denotes the LCD display, which is designed for example as a film. This is followed by another spacer 3. This is in connection with the inside 4, which may for example be designed as float glass.

Grundsätzlich ist von der Erfindung auch umfasst, dass die Scheibe 1, das heißt das ESG-Glas die Innenseite und das Float-Glas 4 die Außenseite der Isolierglasscheibe bildet.In principle, the invention also encompasses the fact that the pane 1, that is to say the toughened glass, forms the inside and the float glass 4 forms the outside of the insulating glass pane.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass auf die Frontscheibe 1 der Kunststoffabstandshalter 2 aufgeklebt wird. Auf der Rückseite dieses Abstandshalters 2, das heißt auf der von dem Glas 1 abgewandten Seite wird circa 10mm umlaufend die LCD-Folie, das heißt das LCD-Display 30 geklebt.In a preferred embodiment it is provided that the plastic spacer 2 is adhered to the front pane 1. On the back of this spacer 2, that is on the side facing away from the glass 1 side, the LCD film, that is, the LCD display 30 is glued circa 10 mm circumferentially.

Sodann wird wieder ein Kunststoffhalter 3 platziert. Mit den zwei verklebten Kunststoffhaltern 2, 3 wird das LCD-Display 30 gehalten und positioniert.Then, a plastic holder 3 is placed again. With the two bonded plastic holders 2, 3, the LCD display 30 is held and positioned.

Abschließend wird noch eine Glasscheibe 4 aufgesetzt. Dieses Paket kann rundum versiegelt werden und dann weiteren Schritten zur Herstellung der Tür oder eines sonstigen Verschlusselementes, wie eines Deckels und einer Klappe etc. zugeführt werden. Wie aus Figur 1 und 2 ersichtlich, steht seitlich die Steuerelektronik für das LCD-Display über das Glaspaket hinaus.Finally, a glass 4 is placed. This package can be completely sealed and then further steps for the production of the door or other closure element, such as a lid and a flap, etc. are supplied. How out FIGS. 1 and 2 can be seen, the control electronics for the LCD display is beyond the glass package laterally.

Die Abstandshalter 2 und 3 können vollflächig mit dem Display verbunden sein bzw. sich vollständig in dessen Bereich erstrecken. Denkbar ist auch, dass diese nur teilweise mit dem Display verbunden werden und/oder dass sich diese nur teilweise an dem Display befinden, beispielsweise nur in dessen Randbereich oder Randbereichen. Denkbar ist es, dass sich die Abstandshalter z.B. nur umlaufend im Randbereich des LCD-Displays befinden.The spacers 2 and 3 can be connected to the display over the whole area or extend completely into its area. It is also conceivable that these are only partially connected to the display and / or that they are only partially on the display, for example only in its edge region or edge regions. It is conceivable that the spacers are, for example, only peripherally in the edge region of the LCD display.

Das in Figur 4 angegebene Dickenmaß von 26 mm ist exemplarischer Natur und beschränkt die Erfindung nicht.This in FIG. 4 given thickness of 26 mm is exemplary in nature and does not limit the invention.

Durch die vorliegende Erfindung wird ein Isolierglas mit integriertem LCD-Display bereitgestellt, was gegenüber dem aufwändigen einzelnen Verbauen von Isoliergläsern und LCD-Bildschirmen plus Frontscheibe eine wesentliche Vereinfachung darstellt.The present invention provides an insulating glass with an integrated LCD display, which is a major simplification compared to the complex individual installation of insulating glass and LCD screens plus windscreen.
