Description

Domestic refrigeration appliance component with a suspension slot for a storage container, the slot width of which can be varied

Technical Field

The invention relates to a domestic refrigeration device component having a base unit and a suspension unit for suspending a storage container. The suspension unit is arranged swingably on the base unit via a swing support. The invention also relates to a domestic refrigeration device having at least one such domestic refrigeration device component.

Background

Known from the prior art are components of domestic refrigeration appliances having, as an essential element, a door shelf on which a suspension unit is arranged so as to be pivotable. Thus, reference is made herein to WO 2009/083357A 1. The embodiments there are, however, not only very large in terms of their number of components but also very complex in terms of their function. This results in a complicated operating scheme and the movement can become jammed and biased by the construction. Furthermore, the suspension unit for suspending the storage containers is of relatively high cost and is only designed as an elongate wire bend projecting forward, which is arranged fixedly at a relatively large distance from one another and thus only allows the reception of very specific storage containers. The loadability of the suspension unit is thus very limited. Furthermore, the configuration of the suspension unit is also replaceable, which already makes the process for loading very difficult, since as described there the bottles have to be strung together with great complexity in order to be able to then be suspended in the suspension unit.

Further embodiments of such domestic refrigeration appliance components are known from WO 2009/083400 a2, in which the suspension unit, which is rigid in itself, cannot be pivoted here, but can be moved only linearly upwards and downwards. Furthermore, the configuration of the suspension unit there is designed as a tub, so that it is in principle not possible to suspend the storage container on it, but rather merely to insert or place it into the tub.

Disclosure of Invention

The object of the present invention is to provide a domestic refrigeration device component in which the suspension unit is reduced in components and can be easily handled, and in which an easy and user-friendly suspension of the storage container is possible.

This object is achieved by the domestic refrigeration device component and the domestic refrigeration device according to the invention.

An independent aspect of the invention relates to a domestic refrigeration device component having a base unit and a suspension unit for suspending a storage container, which is pivotably arranged on the base unit via a pivot bearing. The suspension unit has at least one suspension slot for suspending the storage container, wherein the suspension slot is configured to be variable in its slot width. The very advantageous embodiment enables storage containers of different sizes to be secured. Also deformable and flexible storage containers, which may be very thin upwards, can be received without problems in the suspension slot. The variability of the loading of the suspension unit with storage containers is thereby significantly increased.

Preferably, it is provided that the slot width can be varied by means of at least one rotary clip, wherein the rotary clip specifies the slot width depending on its rotational position. The rotary clamp is a rotatable or rotatable element which is arranged on the bottom leg so as to be movable relative thereto. The swivel clip is arranged in an advantageous embodiment to be at least partially recessed into the hollow region of the bottom leg. The rotary clamp is thus also positioned in a protected manner and is arranged in a space-saving manner. The rotating clip is a particularly advantageous embodiment in order to be able to vary the slot width also continuously and react individually and immediately to the respective geometry and configuration of the region of the storage container that is to be received in the suspension slot.

Preferably, the rotary clamp has a projection in the radial direction with respect to the axis of rotation, which projection is configured as a clamping portion. This results in a very local and highly functional slot width change and a retaining effect on the storage container to be suspended. A particularly stable retention is also achieved permanently and is also not limitedly suitable for heavier storage containers.

Preferably, the clamping portion has a structuring on the outer side which is in contact with the storage container to be held. This again improves the mechanical coupling and holding effect. Thereby avoiding undesired slipping or sliding out of the storage container.

Preferably, it is provided that the rotary clamp is automatically held in the clamping position by a spring element. In particular, it is thereby provided that the slot width is minimized in the unloaded state when the rotary clamp is arranged in the clamping position.

Preferably, the rotating clip is an assembly of spacer clips.

In particular, at least two opposite rotary clamps are provided, which are functionally configured accordingly and make it possible to vary the suspension slot with respect to the slot width.

In this configuration, the loading of the storage container is carried out in particular in that the storage container is inserted with a specific partial region through the slot opening of the suspension slot and is moved through the suspension slot from the bottom up by an additional movement, wherein the at least one rotary clamp is thereby automatically moved from the clamping position into the release position. If then a specific region of the storage container is received in the suspension slot and the storage container is then pulled down again or the storage container moves down autonomously due to its weight, the rotary clamp is brought into the clamping position again automatically and the auxiliary storage container is held in the suspension slot automatically by gravity.

When the storage container is removed from the suspension slot, this can likewise be done again by slightly lifting the storage container upward, as a result of which the rotary clamp is then moved again from the clamping position into the release position and in the release position the storage container is then pulled out of the suspension slot through the slot opening. The pulling out is then performed vertically or at a specific angle relative to the hole axis of the suspension slot.

The suspension unit is in particular a U-shaped bracket, which is pivotably connected to the base unit by means of a pivot bearing with the U-shaped legs and which has the U-shaped bottom legs connecting the legs. The bow is pivotably arranged directly on the wall of the base unit. This configuration results in a reduced number of components and a highly functional configuration without separate intermediate elements. No additional components and no additional deflection elements or the like are required. The operability of the suspension unit and thus the swinging of the suspension unit is thus easily and user-friendly to achieve. Furthermore, a particularly continuous and thus also smooth and non-jamming pendulum movement of the suspension unit is achieved.

Preferably, the bottom leg of the bow has at least one suspension slot for suspending the storage container, which is configured to be changeable with respect to its slot width.

In particular, the bracket is formed in one piece with respect to its U shape and thus with respect to this basic geometry. The number of components for constructing the basic shape is thereby also minimized. Furthermore, this configuration also results in a very stable bracket, which also achieves a correspondingly high load capacity. The bow is thus also very dimensionally stable and rigid, so that it does not undesirably twist both during the pivoting movement and during loading and unloading of the storage container.

The suspension unit has in particular only one single U-shaped bracket. The reduced component design is thus achieved in the same way as in a simple and robust functional solution. This results in an unclocked and unbiased movement.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the lateral leg is arranged directly on the base unit so as to be pivotable with its end facing away from the base leg. This results in a particularly advantageous solution for an easy and continuous pivoting, since, due to the geometry of the bow and the particular articulation point, a corresponding leverage is also produced, which allows a user-friendly and also lightweight movement of the bow. In addition, it is also possible by means of the described configuration to design the wall of the base unit on which the bow element is pivotably arranged in the outwardly pivoted state and thus in the use position with a maximum distance between the bottom leg and the wall. The accessibility to the suspension location of the suspension unit and thus the operability for loading the suspension unit with a storage container or for removing or detaching a storage container from the suspension unit can thus be achieved very easily and user-friendly.

Preferably, at least one laterally projecting pivot pin is integrated in each case at the end of the base leg. The parts of the pivot bearing are thereby provided on the bracket side and are arranged in a mechanically stable manner. Furthermore, the configuration of the at least one pivot pin integrated in at least one end of the base foot also reduces the number of individual components of the suspension unit. The laterally projecting pivot pin also allows for a very simple, yet highly functional component, which also allows for a reliable mechanical connection of the pivot bearing and a configuration with minimal wear. In particular, two pivot pins projecting on opposite sides of the bottom leg are formed on the ends of the bottom leg, which pivot pins project in opposite directions from the sides. This again improves the support of the bracket on the wall of the base unit and allows the bracket to pivot particularly easily and without twisting. In this way, a 2-point bearing is formed at the coupling point of the pivot bearing between the bracket and the wall of the base unit, so that the pivoting movement takes place particularly uniformly and also along the desired predetermined trajectory, even if the storage container is suspended relatively asymmetrically on the suspension unit and thus only on one side is the corresponding gravitational effect.

Preferably, the suspension unit is pivotable between a stowed position and a use position. The stowage position is produced in that the bracket is arranged in such a way in position on the wall of the base unit that it requires as little space as possible and is stowed in this connection. In particular, it is provided in the stowed position that the bow cannot be loaded with a storage container. In contrast, the use position is a position in which loading with a storage container is effected. The suspension unit is arranged to be at least partially sunk into a receiving portion of the base unit, in particular into a receiving portion configured in a wall of the base unit. This results in a particularly space-saving positioning of the suspension unit in the retracted position. The suspension unit is thereby neatly arranged. On the other hand, a certain protective position is also achieved by this at least partially recessed arrangement, in which the suspension unit cannot be damaged, for example, by a collision with another storage container or the like.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the suspension unit can be pivoted between a storage position and a use position, wherein a suspension slot for suspending the storage container is accessible from the front in the use position, which is formed on the base leg of the bow. Such a receptacle is defined as a suspension slot, which receptacle is not completely closed in the circumferential direction around the slot axis. The suspension slot thus has a slot opening through which an object can be pushed into the slot. This configuration makes it possible to load the storage container particularly easily and thus to hang the storage container on the suspension unit easily. The storage container is thereby very easily removed and is thus removed. Since the accessibility of the suspension slot, which is unobstructed from the front, is provided, the slot opening is always directed toward the user, as it were, and the user can insert the storage container into the suspension slot by easily guiding it through the slot opening. Thereby avoiding a complicated operation process for putting the storage container on the hanging unit.

Preferably, at least one spring element is provided, by means of which the suspension unit can be automatically transferred from the use position into the stowed position. This means that at least the use position is preloaded by the spring force of the spring element and then, when the use position is no longer required, said preloading force of the spring element effects an automatic guidance of the bow back into the stowed position. Preferably, the spring element is designed to already exceed the preload force when the suspension unit is loaded with a storage container having a weight threshold which is predefined as low as possible, so that the bow is prevented from being guided back from the use position into the stowage position in the state in which the suspension unit is loaded with a storage container.

In a further advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the use position is locked. In particular, it is provided here that the use position of the suspension unit provided for loading with the storage container can be fixed by a locking unit of the domestic refrigeration device component. This prevents the bow from undesirably swinging or tilting out of the use position. This also makes it possible to advantageously load the bracket with a storage container and to advantageously remove the storage container from the bracket, since the use position is then accordingly fixed in position. A further advantage of this embodiment is that the spring element is locked precisely when the spring element is provided which automatically guides the bow back from the use position into the stowed position. This also prevents the bow from being automatically guided back into the stowed position in an undesirable manner by the locking unit.

It may be provided that the locking unit can be manually actuated by a user. The manipulation can be performed by a corresponding operating unit as an example.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the locking unit is a Push-Push (Push-Push) device. It is thereby achieved that the locking position is released by a pressing movement about the pivot axis when the bow is in the use position in a pivoting direction opposite to the pivoting direction when the bow is pivoted into the stowed position in the use position. If this release is effected, an automatic pivoting back of the bow from the use position into the stowage position can be effected by the preload force of the spring element.

A further aspect of the invention relates to a domestic refrigeration appliance having at least one such domestic refrigeration appliance component.

The domestic refrigerator can be, for example, a refrigerator or freezer or a combination refrigerator-freezer, which is designed for storing and preserving food products.

The domestic refrigeration device component can then have as a basic unit a door shelf or door or a shelf or a boundary wall of the receiving chamber. The suspension unit is arranged swingably on a wall of the base unit, in particular a bottom of the door shelf. The suspension unit is arranged in particular pivotably on the outer side or the underside of the base.

Detailed Description

Fig. 1 shows a schematic illustration of an exemplary embodiment of a domestic refrigeration device 1. The domestic refrigerator 1 has a housing 2 in which a receiving chamber 3 for food is formed. The receiving chamber 3 may be a refrigerated compartment. However, the receiving chamber may also be a freezer compartment. The domestic refrigerator 1 can also be constructed with at least two different and separate receiving chambers.

Furthermore, the domestic refrigeration device 1 has a door 4, which is pivotably arranged on the housing 2 and is designed to close the receiving space 3. For example, a grid bottom 5 is arranged in the receiving chamber 3. The bottom 5 may be an example of a basic unit of a household refrigeration appliance component. The door 4 can likewise be an example of a basic unit of a component of a domestic refrigeration appliance.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, the household refrigeration appliance components 6, 7, which are understood merely by way of example in terms of number, position and geometry, are shown on the door 4. A door shelf is a further example of a basic unit of a household refrigeration appliance component.

In this exemplary embodiment, the door shelf is configured such that it is configured as a base unit 8 for receiving food products and is configured in the form of a basin or trough and is here a box-shaped container. In addition to the base unit 8, the domestic refrigeration device component 6 also has a suspension unit 9, which is designed separately from the base unit 8 and is arranged in this embodiment pivotably on the base unit 8 via a pivot bearing 10.

The suspension unit 9 is configured to suspend at least one storage container. The storage container can in particular be a container which is dimensionally stable itself. Preferably, however, the storage container is capable of elastically deforming itself and is generally unstable in shape. A bag or pouch may be an example of such a storage container.

Fig. 2 shows a detail of fig. 1, wherein the door 4 is shown here by looking at a door shelf. In contrast to the illustration in fig. 1, the suspension unit 9 is not in the retracted position, but rather in the use position.

The base unit 8 has a bottom 11, on the underside of which the suspension unit 9 is arranged to be pivotable. The pivot bearing 10 has a plurality of connection points. In particular, it is provided that the base 11 has a recess 12 on its underside, into which the suspension unit 9 is arranged in the retracted position at least partially, as is shown in fig. 1 and also explained below with reference to fig. 3.

As can be seen from fig. 2, the suspension unit 9 is designed as a U-shaped bracket 13 or is formed from a bracket 13. The U-shape is formed by two side legs 14 and 15 which are connected to a bottom leg 16 of the U-shape. In particular, the bracket 13 is formed in one piece. As can be seen, the connecting element, which can be pivoted to the container or base unit 8, is formed at the end 14a of the side leg 14 facing away from the base leg 16 and at the end 15a of the side leg 15 facing away from the base leg 16. In the use position shown in fig. 2, the maximum distance of the base limb 16 from the base 11 is thus achieved in the pivoted-out state of the suspension element 9 and thus of the bow 13. Thereby improving the assemblability of the suspension unit 9 and the accessibility to the suspension unit 9.

The pivot bearing 10 with two opposite pivot connections has a pivot bearing element on the bracket side and a pivot bearing element on the container side. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the container-side pivot bearing element is a receptacle for a pivot pin, which is formed on the bracket 13.

In connection with this, fig. 4 shows the bracket 13 preferably with two pivot pins 17 and 18 at the end 14a and two pivot pins 19 and 20 at the end 15 a. As can be seen, the two pivot pins 17 and 18 and 19 and 20 are each integrally formed on the opposite side of the associated side leg 14 and 15 and extend from said side in opposite directions. Each end 14a and 15a is thus coupled to the oscillating support reception of the base unit 8 by a 2-point support.

Fig. 3 shows the view according to fig. 2, however with the suspension unit 9 and thus the bow 13 in the retracted position. In the stowed position, the storage container cannot be hung on the bow 13.

As is shown in the illustration according to fig. 2, a storage container 21 is shown there. In order to provide such suspension, at least one suspension slot 22, in particular a plurality of suspension slots 22, is configured on the bottom leg 16, only some of which are provided with corresponding reference numerals for the sake of simplicity of the suspension slots.

The suspension slot 22 is configured with a slot axis a which is oriented vertically here and which, in the use position of the bracket 13, is oriented substantially in the height direction (y direction) of the domestic refrigeration appliance 1 in the embodiment shown here. The suspension slot 22 is configured such that it is not completely closed in the circumferential direction about the slot axis a and thus has a corresponding slot opening 23. In the embodiment of the suspension unit 9 shown here, the slot opening 23 is oriented forward and thus opens and exposes forward in the depth direction (z-direction). Loading of the suspension slot 22 with the storage container 21 can thus be easily achieved from the front. A specific region of the storage container 21, here the strapping region 21a of the bag, can then be introduced into the suspension slot 22 through the slot opening 23. The suspension slot 22 is configured such that the storage container 21 suspended thereon is held autonomously and does not slide or fall off axially downward and also does not slide or fall off laterally through the slot opening 23.

For this purpose, a holding unit is provided, as can be seen in the plan view of the bracket 13 in fig. 4. In this exemplary embodiment, the holding unit 24 has two swivel clamps 25 and 26, which are mounted rotatably on the bow 13, in particular on the bottom leg 16. In this case, the swivel clamp is arranged in a rotatably mounted manner in a corresponding hollow region of the bottom leg 16. In the view in fig. 4, the axes of rotation B and C of the rotating clamps 25 and 26 are oriented perpendicular to the plane of the view. The axes of rotation B and C are thus also in particular parallel to the slot axis a.

In the preferred embodiment, the rotating clamps 25 and 26, which are provided in pairs, respectively, clamp the storage container 21.

In particular, it is also provided that the suspension slot 22 is configured with a variable slot width a. The slot width a can be continuously changed automatically by turning the rotating clips 25 and 26. The pivoting movement of the pivoting clamps 25 and 26 takes place here by removing the storage container 21 from the suspension slot or introducing it into the suspension slot 22.

In fig. 5, two rotating clamps 25 and 26 are shown by way of example in the clamping position. As can be seen here, the rotary clamp 25 has a projection in the radial direction with respect to the axis of rotation B, which projection is configured as a clamping portion 25 a. On the outer side 25b of the clamping portion 25a, a structuring 27 is formed, which may be a toothing, for example. A certain roughened state of the outer side 25b may be provided as a structured portion. The structuring 27 is in particular configured in order to improve the fit and mechanical contact of the storage container 21, in particular in the region 21a, and to increase the frictional resistance in order to avoid an undesired slipping-off of the storage container 21 from the clamped position.

Accordingly, the rotary clamp 26 is also advantageously designed here, which likewise has a clamping section 26a on the outer side 26b, on which in particular a structuring 28 is also designed.

The release or release position of the rotating clamps 25 and 26 is shown in fig. 6. The rotary clamp is rotated in this configuration with its clamping portions 25a and 26a away from one another, so that in this state the slot width a formed in the holding region of the suspension slot 22 is greater here than in the clamping position according to fig. 5.

The holding and contacting of the storage container 21 is provided by the structured sections 27 and 28 and thus by the clamping sections 25a and 26 a.

In particular, it is provided that the rotary clamps 25 and 26 are each held in a clamping position as an initial position by a spring element. If it is provided at this time that a storage container 21 is loaded and is introduced through the slot opening 23 into the suspension slot 22 and is then pulled in particular from below to above, the preloaded clamping position is automatically opened and brought into the release position according to fig. 6. If the suspended support position of the storage container 21 is then reached and then this manipulation is carried out separately by manually pulling the storage container 21 downwards and/or by the weight of the storage container 21, the clamping position according to fig. 5 is automatically reached again and the storage container is then held according to the view in fig. 2.

For releasing, the storage container 21 can then be pulled slightly further upward from the mentioned position, so that it is then guided out of the suspension slot 22 by reaching the release position according to fig. 6 and then passing through the slot opening 23.

In an advantageous embodiment, additional spring elements 29 and 30, which are additionally only indicated by reference numerals in fig. 2 and are not clearly visible, are provided to automatically move the bow 13 from the use position into the stowed position. In the use position, the spring element is then preloaded, so that this automatic return movement is achieved.

In order to avoid a continuous return movement by means of the preloaded spring element, a locking unit 31 can preferably be provided, which can be configured, for example, on both pendulum support parts or on only one pendulum support part of the pendulum support 10. The use position can also be locked by the locking unit 31 against the spring force of the preferably present spring element as mentioned. Preferably, the locking unit 31 may be, for example, a Push-Push (Push-Push) device.
