Description

The present invention relates to a base cabinet that houses various types of installations also for the provision of various facilities and objects is. Base cabinets of the type mentioned for example built-in wardrobes be like they usually are in the kitchen or bathroom area. Typical examples of base cabinets that are covered by the present invention, sink cabinets with Storage space, waste water and fresh water installations or bathroom base cabinets. The invention is however not limited to these areas of application.

With the conventional sink base cabinets the problem is that the installations under the sink are very complex and are usually not space-saving are, so that of the actual available space little storage space for the Storage of objects such as garbage can, cleaning supplies and the like remains. Another disadvantage of the previously known Base cabinets is that through the complex installations like sewage pipes, Fresh water pipes, which are usually not just the sink itself, but also other connected machines, such as Dishwasher, Washing machine, etc. concern, the base cabinet is not easy to is clean. The sink cabinet is located centrally in a kitchen, but is often similar in terms of Order and cleanliness as well as hygienic condition of a basement or storage room.

This is where the present invention comes in on. The object of the present invention is a fundamental one Redesign of the base cabinet overall, with the aim of a higher degree of order to achieve storage space and better cleaning too enable as well additional Integrate functions in the base cabinet that were previously used in base cabinets Kind do not exist.

The solution to this problem provides a base cabinet according to the invention the genus mentioned at the outset with the characteristic features of Main claim. According to the invention, that the base cabinet accommodates at least one inner housing, which one has a lower depth than the base cabinet and / or has a lower height than the base cabinet, so behind the inner case and / or above the inner case Space remains and in this space installations such as Water pipes, sewage pipes and / or electrical installations be accommodated. The aforementioned inner housing can also if necessary only a partial housing be, which consists of one or more cover elements. Thereby is achieved that the inner case even provides a compact, clean and usable storage space. With the base cabinet open if you look into the inner case, in which you can find a wide variety of facilities and objects are usually mobile, can accommodate, so that a usable Storage space available stands. The installations for for example, the fresh water supply to a sink is necessary are or sewage pipes or electrical installations or Controls for the actuation a drain, connecting pipes, leakage water control systems, equipment for the Heat water and the like, however, are in a room above and / or behind the inner case and are therefore for the user who the inner case used as storage space not visible. Only in the event that maintenance or repair to one of the installations is necessary Inner housing, usually taken out of the base cabinet by a specialist fitter, so that the installations become accessible.

It is therefore important in the context of the present invention that the necessary installations in the available space above and / or behind the inner case can be accommodated is called, that the installations are so compact and compact have to be that this is to be accomplished. According to one alternative development of the invention you can also use the space below the bottom of the inner housing and / or below the Bottom of the base cabinet for Use installations of the type mentioned or parts thereof. Basically is it also possible and should also be covered by the present invention Case that the inner case is narrower than the base cabinet, making installations sideways next to the inner case to be ordered. As a rule, however, it is recommended for this variant towards the front of the base cabinet this room next to the inner case by a delusion or the like Lock facility thus when using the inner housing in this case too, the view of the installations is blocked.

According to a preferred development of the present invention, it is preferably provided that at least one diaphragm is located on the inner housing, preferably in the upper region. One or more independent front panels can also be provided, with the panel (s) in particular preventing the view of the interior of the base cabinet above the inner housing. A front panel on the base cabinet can also serve this purpose, or a front panel on the base cabinet interacts with a panel attached or to be attached to the inner housing. Furthermore, it is preferably provided in the context of the present invention that a mounting frame designed in accordance with the requirements and space conditions in the base cabinet is provided for fastening the installations, on or on which the required installations can be attached and fastened. So you can create a system similar to that used for pre-wall installation in the bathroom area for installing the installations on such a mounting frame. The installation devices can be accommodated in different modules which can be mounted one behind the other, next to one another and / or one above the other on the mounting frame, depending on which installations are required for the specific application. This enables the various installation devices to be preassembled in the form of modules on the mounting frame, so that an optimized compact arrangement can be selected and the mounting frame thus equipped with the installation modules can be quickly inserted and installed on site in the base cabinet, with the option of then also Connections between the individual line systems of the installation modules and the devices used must be established.

A typical structure of a base cabinet according to the invention for one flush area can, for example, according to a potential preferred variant of the present invention such that the Sink base unit the inner case (Inner cupboard) in a free space above of the inner cabinet and behind the inner cabinet in the base cabinet a mounting frame with installation modules is arranged, wherein in particular a wastewater module, a fresh water module and an electrical module is provided, the inner housing preferably has an upper panel and the available storage space in the inner case, for example for the Inclusion of a waste separation system is being used. Such a waste separation system can have a variety of waste containers for different waste Include genus. The waste separation system can, for example, only fill in part of the available storage space of the inner housing, so that space for the storage of cleaning supplies or other utensils remains, those in the kitchen area needed become. A typical wastewater module of the type mentioned includes, for example a siphon and / or a waste water connection for a washing machine and / or a sewage connection for a dishwasher and / or a waste water connection for at least one sink and / or a waste water connection for an overflow and / or a reserve connection, the optional for another device is present and over a stopper can be closed can be. The said siphon of the waste water module can preferably have a cleaning opening have in the lower area. An odor trap is preferred integrated into the waste water module, usually in the siphon area. Connects to this further preferably a wastewater outlet connected to a wastewater pipe connectable is. It can several sewage connections for sinks to be available.

A typical fresh water module includes, for example according to one potential Variant of the present invention a connection option for a Fresh water supply (cold water or mixed water) and / or one Connection for the fresh water supply of a dishwasher and / or a connection for the Supply of a washing machine and / or a connection or several connections for one Boiler and / or connections for cables, to those in the sink area used fittings lead. The fresh water module preferably further comprises operating devices for the activity of the entrances to the individual connected lines, for example shut-off valves can be provided the electrically operated are, for example solenoid valves or the operation of the individual Shut-off devices are mechanical, for example via flexible shafts (Bowden cables) or the like preferably laid in a channel and then to an operating unit guided could be, the visible side of the base cabinet in the front area, for example is housed on a panel for ergonomic operation by the user. Actuators are also preferred for the Fittings in the sink area, for the procedures the sink and / or for blocking the water supply of a washing machine and / or dishwasher and / or for the shutoff of the water supply as a whole in the inlet area (leak stop) intended.

Furthermore, according to a preferred development of the invention, an electrical module is provided, which can also be accommodated in the space mentioned in the base cabinet above, behind or next to the inner housing. A wrinkle in the upper region is preferred. In a typical application, such an electrical module preferably comprises socket modules, switch modules, terminal modules, connection cables for the mains connection, cable channels and / or generally also a cover or cover in the front area of the base cabinet. Switches, that is to say individual device switches and / or possibly a main switch, possibly an additional socket in the front area, control and / or display elements, interfaces for electronic connections (intelligent kitchen) and / or a timer can be accommodated on this panel. When using such an electrical module with a cover or cover of the aforementioned type, a base cabinet is completely changed compared to the usual base cabinets in terms of their external appearance and with regard to the purpose of use. Due to the switches, sockets, interfaces, timers, display elements etc., the front area is more like a kitchen stove or a similar electrical device with more complex requirements. Such a solution has the further advantage that the operation of the devices and devices mentioned, such as a dishwasher, washing machine, boiler, leak stop and so on can continue to be done centrally. This makes operation easier and more convenient, and the installation of such an electrical module is also easier, since this solution enables extensive pre-assembly, if necessary. The degree of utilization is higher because many different functions can be accommodated in a relatively small area at a central location near the sink.

A preferred development of present invention also looks before that a waste separation system housed in the storage space of the inner case also about additional Functions, their operation also about the aforementioned operating front, cover or panel can be done. It is thought of functions that are comfortable for the user when using such a waste separation system increase. For example Facilities for the compression of the garbage or the measurement of the amount or weight may be provided, or facilities to determine the available level of auxiliaries, such as detergents, compost activators, Vinegar / oil of garbage bags still present etc. Furthermore can display options be provided that indicate to the user when a filter change necessary or cleaning intervals are provided. Furthermore can for example temperature monitoring in the field of organic waste or other devices like for example a food storage box, a dryer or the like be provided. Furthermore, a time-dependent function, for example an alarm clock can be provided, which is optionally programmable, For example, around various collection dates for the individual types of waste to display to the user. These functions can also be controlled by voice. If necessary, an interface to a so-called “intelligent Kitchen "can be provided with possibility for external programming and connection to PC and / or Internet.

The present invention provides according to one alternative possible Variant other uses for the Interior of the inner housing. For example, instead of a waste separation system or together with this a fresh cupboard or a hot cupboard or Drying cabinet can be accommodated. There is a particular advantage in cooling this freshness cabinet with cold water, because Usually there is a cold water connection nearby thanks to the fresh water module located. This cold water can be cooled by appropriate coils direct and so for the temperature drop in such a freshness cabinet for cooling Food in addition use. It is also possible, for example, in the available space of the inner housing to house a towel drying chamber, for example due to hot water already present in the area of the base cabinet can dine to heat extracted from the hot water pipe for drying of towels additionally to use. It also proves to be special in these applications advantageous that the solution according to the invention a clean compact Storage space inside the inner case disposal in contrast, which is preferably an approximately cuboidal space to the sink cabinets known so far, the countless due to a tangle Lines and pipes are not compact and usable in a sensible way Space available put. Further advantages of the present invention are hygienic Area. By using the inner casing is the sewage area completely housed separately, so that an accommodation of food in the inner case at all only possible what is excluded in the previous kitchen base cabinets, in particular sink base cabinets was. It is also advantageous in the solution according to the invention that a well-thought-out system that can be planned and the entire installation of the individual modules can be done by a fitter, while at the previously known systems usually by different people independent of each other Lines and pipes were laid in the base cabinet, so that no high degree of order was achievable and no possibility for planning the available storage space was given.

A preferred development of Invention provides that for the movement of the in the inner case accommodated facilities provided at least one opening support is a suitable energy source, such as a Gas struts, springs, spindles and / or damping devices and devices for improvement the running culture are provided. Such opening support should the operator pulling out the waste separation system, for example facilitate to make this accessible close. The aforementioned opening support means that it is preferably either that the waste separation system, which is in the inner case located on request by the operator this comes out, or at least the extraction by the mentioned facilities supported becomes.

The use of a base cabinet according to the invention around a sink (Rinse cabinet) brings a variety of advantages, with a solution in Framework of the invention, of course not all of the above must be used Rather, the most diverse variants in the specific individual case can be used because they are at least optional. The available ones uses and the benefits associated with it are set out again below are summarized.

The fresh water module preferably used according to the invention can be used for the supply Include the necessary fittings for the sink and include corner valves for the hot and cold water connection, a so-called aquastop (leak stop), an inlet and outlet for the dishwasher, washing machine, instantaneous water heater and an optional additional tap. Furthermore, there is the possibility of additional use of cold water or hot water in the flow-through method for cooling a fresh-keeping box, warming up a warming box or creating a towel dryer.

The waste water module used according to the invention can include the drain sets for the sinks, that is, for example for a great Sink, a small sink and an overflow Siphon with the integrated odor trap, the necessary pipe connectors, if necessary, flexible hoses, An additional Waste water connection for a dishwasher and possibly a washing machine, connections to the drain pipe to Floor or wall. The pipe cross-sections must of course correspond to that total water volume can be dimensioned, but it can a flat design may be useful, similar to so-called Raumsparsiphons.

The electrical module can be used as part of the present invention a main switch with the function on / off embrace the possibility to have all devices switch off centrally when you leave the apartment, for example. The Electrical module also includes the electrical supply line with the required connections and the distribution, for example starting from a wall socket A subdistribution can take place for the various electrical devices that in the kitchen area are needed for example a coffee machine, a water heater, lighting devices, a microwave oven, radio, Blenders, food processors. Optional additional sockets can be present in a panel in the front area of the base cabinet.

The waste water module or an additional shut-off module preferably also includes locking mechanisms for the individual Water pipes mechanically over Bowden cable or remote control or by electrically operated Solenoid valves can be operated.

A display module can also be provided be, which includes displays and an actuation, for example, via a So-called touch panel system, especially around functions of the waste separation system how to operate quantities or weight measurements, as well as one Level indicator for various Auxiliaries and in the kitchen area needed Utensils such as dish soap, Garbage bags etc., a time display showing various necessary activities such as changing the filter, Cleaning intervals and so on. An interface for example Functions that are required in the so-called "intelligent kitchen" with possibly a connection to the Internet, which is also wireless can continue to be made additional Display options, for example for Recipes or the like. A screen can also serve as a display, that can be located in another location. The display module may also include garbage disposal appointments or other necessary information that is required for waste separation and over have modern electronic means and storage media such as CD etc. Other monitoring functions with acoustic and / or visual display of expiry dates, for example, feedable via scanned barcodes, as well as alarm functions, minute minder, timer, Actuator controls and the like can be integrated into the display module his.

If waste separation is provided, comprises a waste separation module which can be accommodated in the inner housing is various storage containers (Modules), possibly with stacking aid and an opening or closing support to their accessibility to facilitate the disposal of waste.

All existing functions can be in a display area, for example in a panel in the front area of the base cabinet and can be controlled via switches. Possible is the use of sensors including light barriers, Motion detectors, infrared sensors or voice control or the Using a touch pad.

Compared to conventional waste separation systems, such as those used in the kitchen area, the solution according to the invention has the advantage of being user-friendly, in particular due to the opening and closing support. The opening movement can be supported by damping and devices for an improved running culture can be provided in order to enable a low-friction and low-noise opening or closing. The ease of cleaning is particularly noteworthy, since a compact inner housing has no areas that are difficult to access. For example, a sheet metal housing or a plastic housing can be used as the inner housing, similar to built-in devices, so that there is no direct connection to the areas behind or above with the waste water module, fresh water module, etc. The modular structure enables better planning and, if necessary, expansion of the system as well as great flexibility and a large number of variants. The containers used for the waste separation system can be stackable. Additional separation containers can be used, for example for glass, paper, tin cans, organic waste etc. Cleaning agent bodies and utensil depots can be integrated into the existing storage space, this storage space being optimally usable since pipes and annoying cables are eliminated. The containers of the waste separation system can be pulled out, for example, via ball-guided telescopic rails similar to drawers. It is essential in the context of the present invention, the division into two, in which all modules such as waste water module, fresh water module, electrical module etc. are accommodated in the space behind or above or possibly below the inner container, the permanent accessibility of which is not necessary, while in the remaining clear residual space The inside of the inner casing exposes everything that needs access by the person working in the kitchen. In addition to a waste separation system, dishes, pots and kitchen utensils can also be stored in the available storage space, for example, or used as an intermediate depot for dirty dishes. It can also be used as a fresh storage and storage room for vegetables, fruit, short-lived food, etc., whereby the above-mentioned possibility of cooling via cold water can be used. In addition to kitchen appliances of any kind, this storage space can also accommodate liquids required in the kitchen, such as vinegar, oil, spices and the like.

The features mentioned in the subclaims relate to preferred developments of the task solution according to the invention. Further Advantages of the invention result from the following detailed description.

First up 16 Referred. The illustration shows a view into a sink cabinet according to the prior art, in which the front has been removed. You can see a first larger sink 10 and an adjacent second sink 11 , Below the sink 10 is a sewage pipe 12 to which there is also a sewage pipe 13 of the second sink 11 connected. Both sewage pipes open into a siphon 14 , from where the wastewater then reaches a wall pipe. There is also a leak stop device in the sink cabinet 15 available, for example for a dishwasher or washing machine (not shown) with corresponding connection lines 16 , There are still electrical cables 17 available among other things for the leak stop device 15 as well as other electrical lines for other devices, such as a dishwasher. For actuating the sink drain for the smaller sink 11 as well as the larger sink 10 are Bowden cables 18 laid. For the fresh water supply to a mixer tap 19 are fresh water supply lines 20 intended. Another sewage pipe 21 ends in a branch 22 into the sewer 12 to siffon 14 , There are also corner valves 23 provided, for example, to shut off the fresh water pipes. Finally there is a dosing device 23 available, for example to donate detergent. From the representation according to 16 it is readily apparent that this is an extremely complex arrangement of various pipelines, electric lines, actuators and devices, which are housed in the sink base cabinet in a relatively disordered manner, so that only very little remaining space remains which is available as storage space. Such a base cabinet is also very difficult to clean. If you can When you open the cabinet, you can immediately see the complex arrangement of the lines and fittings, as shown in 16 is shown.

This is where the present invention comes in, the following with reference to the drawings 1 to 15 is explained in more detail using exemplary embodiments. First up 1 Referred. The illustration shows an undersink cabinet according to the invention in a perspective exploded view, the drawing being simplified schematically. It can also be another base cabinet, for example for a bathroom. The base cabinet initially includes a body 30 with an optional removable front panel 31 , In this cabinet body 30 becomes an inner case 32 used, which also has in principle a cuboid basic shape and in the illustrated embodiment, an upper integrated front panel 31 having. The inner case 32 is dimensioned so that it is in the opening 34 of the cabinet body 30 can be used in such a way that it is the interior within the cabinet body 30 only partially filled. Because the inner case 32 below the front panel 31 is inserted, it is readily apparent that above the top wall 32a of the inner housing up to the top edge 35 of the cabinet body 30 a free space remains in the base cabinet. In addition, the inner housing is dimensioned so that its side wall 32b is shorter than the depth of the base cabinet 30 , so that even when the inner housing is inserted 32 behind the rear wall there is a free space to the rear wall or to the rear end of the cabinet body 30 remains. Finally, the inner case fills 32 only the space above the floor 36 of the base cabinet 30 out so that below the floor 36 , that is in the area behind the base 37 of the base cabinet also remains a possibly usable free space.

In 1 you look into the inside of the inner case 32 inside, inside which there is in principle a cuboid storage space 38 located. In this storage space (interior) 38 of the inner housing 32 you can now, for example, a waste separation system 40 insert which in 1 is initially shown only roughly schematically simplified as a box. The storage space 38 can also be used to accommodate other items. More details on this as well as the training of the waste separation system 40 will be explained later. Based on 1 First of all, only the schematic structure of a base cabinet according to the invention is to be explained.

In the remaining space above the inner housing 32 and behind the inner housing, which is characterized by the correspondingly larger cabinet body 30 of the base cabinet, there is now space for the accommodation of an installation system, which according to the view 1 is shown on the right. In principle, such an installation system comprises a mounting frame 39 and in principle different installation modules, for example an electrical module 41 , a wastewater module 42 and a fresh water module 43 on or on the mounting frame 39 can be assembled. These three modules 41 . 42 . 43 are in 1 first shown roughly schematically simplified in box form to first explain the principle. More details will be given later. The mounting frame 39 can in principle as in 1 have an angular shape with a wall-parallel largely vertical part 39a , for example the wastewater module 42 is attached and with a horizontal protruding and parallel to the wall part 39a about a right-angled part 39b , on which, for example, the electrical module 41 and the fresh water module 43 can be assembled. The horizontal protruding part 39b of the mounting frame 39 may have an angled end in its front area 39c point upwards. The shape of the mounting frame 39 can be detailed according to the presentation 1 differ significantly, as evidenced for example from the detailed view 3 results. 1 shows only a schematic diagram of the assembly frame 39 , The mounting frame 39 is in the base cabinet 30 so housed that the horizontal part 39b above the horizontal wall 32a of the inner housing 32 extends and the wall-parallel part 39 after installation behind the inner casing 32 runs. This means that when you take out the waste separation system 40 or other utensils that are in the interior of the inner case 32 located, looks into the inner housing while looking at the installations, i.e. the mounting frame 39 with the various modules 41 . 42 . 43 is blocked. So the user looks into a clean inner housing 32 whose interior 38 offers a compact cuboid storage space and is easy to clean. The solution known from the prior art according to the representation of 16 is referred to here.

Below is on 2 Referred. This shows a base cabinet 30 the in 1 illustrated type again in longitudinal section as a sink cabinet. You can see a sink installed in the upper area 44 that is usually in a countertop 45 is let in. The illustration is simplified in a highly schematic manner and only the parts essential to the invention are shown here. You can see the inner casing 32 and the space behind the inner casing in the rear part of the base cabinet 30 that the wall parallel part 39a of the mounting frame with the waste water module 42 receives. You can still see the horizontal part 39b the mounting frame, on which other modules such as a fresh water module and an electrical module 41 can be assembled. The space behind and above the inner case 32 is therefore used to accommodate the installation modules. You can still see that below the cupboard floor 36 there is also a free space that could be used. In the exemplary embodiment according to 2 this space is initially unused.

Below is on 3 Referenced and the structure and use of the mounting frame 39 is explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment. The mounting frame 39 does not have to be flat as shown in the schematic representation 1 , but can, for example, from various spaced struts 46 . 47 exist, for example, have an angular shape with a wall parallel and a horizontally protruding from the wall part. This striving 46 . 47 can, for example, by cross struts 48 be connected. Further horizontal cross struts 49a . 49b can between the horizontal parts of the struts 46 . 47 run so that an assembly platform is formed. Over the two struts parallel to the wall 50a . 50b is a hanging fastening of the mounting frame 39 possible on the wall.

Similar to this in the description of 1 has been explained in principle, can now on the horizontal part of the mounting frame, that is, on the struts 46 . 47 and cross braces 49a . 49b Various installation modules are attached, for example a fresh water module 43 which is how to compare with 1 recognizes a more complex shape and is preferably designed so that it takes up a minimum amount of space on the mounting frame. Likewise, an electrical module 41 for example next to the fresh water module 43 on the strut 47 and the cross braces 49a . 49b assembled. Here, too, the shape is more complex than in the illustration 1 , Such an electrical module 41 can of course as well as the fresh water module 43 consist of several sub-modules, depending on which individual equipment is required in each case for the respective base cabinet. Such sub-modules can be prefabricated at the factory and, if necessary, combined to form larger units or an overall module, which means that the assembly time on site can be minimized.

There is also a waste water module 42 , as you can see on the wall-parallel part of the mounting frame 39 can be attached, for example on the cross strut 48 , The wastewater module 42 is designed to perform all the functions necessary for the installation, including the necessary sewage pipes, a siphon and so on. The aim should be a compact design that is as flat as possible, for example by using a space-saving siphon (flat siphon) in order to make optimal use of the available space.

4 shows a possible structure of such a waste water module according to a variant of the invention. The representation is simplified schematically and should only be understood as an example. One recognizes in 4 that the sewage module 42 a siphon with odor trap 51 includes an exit with a nozzle 52 goes off where the waste water of the entire arrangement can leak. At this neck 52 you can, for example, a flexible sewage pipe 53 connect, which then establishes the connection to the existing fixed sewage pipe of the house installation.

The wastewater module 42 includes further connections, in particular a nozzle 54 for the connection of a washing machine so that the washing machine's waste water can be discharged there. This neck 54 can if it is not needed by a plug 55 be closed. For example on the opposite side of the waste water module 42 is a similar nozzle 56 for the connection of a possibly flexible waste water pipeline 57 provided for the discharge of the waste water from a dishwasher. The connection between the nozzle 56 of the wastewater module and the flexible wastewater pipeline 57 can via an adapter 58 or a reducing sleeve to reduce the cross-section.

In the upper part shows the waste water module 42 more sockets 59 . 60 . 61 . 62 so that, for example, the waste water pipes from the sink can be connected there. For these connections too, for example, flexible pipes or flexible hoses can be used, for example a flexible pipe 63 , which then leads to a first sink (not shown) and to the adjacent nozzle 60 another flexible pipe 64 that leads to another sink. From the adjacent nozzle 61 can be a pipeline 65 cause the sink to overflow. Because the pipeline 65 has a smaller cross-section, is used for the connection to the nozzle 61 a reducing sleeve 66 , Another pipe socket is on the right 62 shown, which, if it is initially not required during installation via a plug 67 can be closed, so that it offers a kind of reserve, which enables another pipe to be connected to the existing wastewater module at a later date 42 to join. In the apex area of the siphon, one can have a cover 68 lockable cleaning opening 69 be provided.

The following will now refer to 5 an exemplary fresh water module 43 as it is in the 1 and 3 is only shown schematically, explained in more detail. The fresh water module includes, for example, an inlet line 70 for fresh water that is connected to the domestic water installation. The area of the fresh water module 43 , in which the various branches of the water pipes and valves or other shut-off devices are located, is shown here only schematically in simplified form. This area can consist of several parts odulen 71 . 72 . 73 . 74 be set up so that the entire area of fresh water installation can be set up flexibly according to the respective applications. From the sub-module 72 for example runs a water pipe 75 to the mixer tap of the sink (not shown). From the sub-module 74 leads a fresh water supply line 76 for example to a washing machine. From the sub-module 73 leads a fresh water supply 77 for example to a dishwasher, with an aqua stop (leak stop) in this supply line 78 can be arranged so that the water supply to the dishwasher can be shut off automatically if a leak occurs.

To the in the individual sub-modules 71 . 72 . 73 . 74 To operate existing valves or shut-off devices, for example, flexible shafts run 79 that basically work like Bowden cables and that work in one channel 80 can be arranged in bundles to form an operating panel 81 , which is arranged in the front area of the base cabinet. This control panel 81 then includes various controls 82 such as push buttons, knobs, switches, buttons or the like, so that if necessary, the individual from the fresh water module 43 fed water pipes, for example the pipe 75 to the sink fitting, the line 76 to the washing machine, the line 77 to the dishwasher and, if necessary, the main feed line 70 can shut off individually. A fresh water module according to the invention 43 can be constructed in a considerably more complex manner and enables the connection of further devices which are to be supplied with fresh water, for example a boiler or instantaneous water heater, a coffee machine or the like. Instead of using flexible shafts 79 the individual water pipes can also be shut off using electrically operated solenoid valves.

The 6a to 6c each show schematically simplified sectional views through sub-modules with shut-off function that can be used in the context of the present invention. For example, shows 6a a shut-off module 83 with branch. Here is a through line 84 present, from the T-shaped branch line 85 branches off by means of the shut-off device 86 can be shut off. This creates an entry page 87 for the through line 84 and an output side opposite this 88 , There is also another alternative usable output 89 the over the shut-off device 86 lockable branch line 85 available. Depending on the position of the shut-off device 86 so you can from the entrance side 87 the water either straight to the exit side 88 or with the shut-off device open 86 via the branch line 85 to the second exit 89 conduct.

Here is an entry page 91 to the cranked through line 92 present that over the shut-off device 93 can be shut off so that either no water flows through the shut-off module or when the shut-off device is open 93 the water from the entrance side 91 to the exit page 94 flows.

6c shows a purely branching module in a schematic simplified representation 95 without barrier. Here is a through line 96 with an entry page 97 and an exit page 98 intended. From the transit line 96 branches a branch line 99 starting to a second exit 100 leads. Such a branch module 95 as shown by 6c So has a distribution function, so that water, which via an input line (not shown) to the input side 97 arrives at the two exits 98 . 100 is distributed.

The following will refer to 7 an exemplary structure for a possible electrical module 41 which in the 1 and 3 is only shown schematically, explained in more detail. The electrical module 41 usually includes a main line 101 for the mains connection 102 , being on the main line 101 different sub-modules 103 . 104 . 105 etc. are fed. This in turn enables a modular structure in which those sub-modules are used that are required for the individual conception in the respective application. For example, there are socket modules 104 available, such a socket module again in 8b is shown for itself. Switch modules can also be used 106 be provided, such a switch module again in 8c is shown for itself. After all, any additional modules 105 possible with various electrical functions. Such an additional module 105 can include, for example, a power supply unit or a servomotor or it can be a control module. Terminal modules are also provided 103 which can be equipped with or without a power cord. Such a terminal module 103 with power cord 101 is schematically simplified once again in itself 8a shown.

For the connecting lines between the individual sub-modules arranged in the rear wall area, such as the terminal module 103 , Socket modules 104 and additional modules 105 in 7 to the front operating area 107 , in which further sub-modules can be located, for example switch modules 106 , Socket modules 104 and the like, is a cable duct 108 intended. This operating area 107 includes the individual switches 109 , for example a main switch and other switches for actuating the individual devices and display elements 110 and possibly other electrical functions. In addition to the ad 110 is for example an interface (socket) 111 to provide an electronic connection so that data can be transmitted, especially to a computer or a controller. This enables data to be fed or queried into or out of the area of the base cabinet according to the invention, or control of the electrical functions which the area of the base cabinet comprises. In addition to the control of various devices that are located in the area of a sink base cabinet or the like, data from a waste separation system can be queried or fed in, which is explained below with reference to FIG 9 to 15 is explained in more detail. Furthermore, the display area to be arranged in the front area of the base cabinet includes, for example, a timer 112 for a time-dependent control of devices arranged in the sink area or other kitchen area.

Below is with reference to the 9 to 11 a use of the base cabinet system according to the invention for accommodating a waste separation system explained in more detail. 9 shows a base cabinet according to a first embodiment 30 , which is basically similar to that in 1 Base cabinet shown and explained using this illustration. The cabinet body takes an inner housing 32 on, of which only the front panel here 33 is recognizable with the various controls. In addition, the base cabinet points 30 even a front panel 31 on (see also 1 ). Below this front panel 31 is a common cupboard door 113 arranged. The interior 38 (see also 1 ) of the inner housing 32 is in accordance with the embodiment 9 used and takes one after opening the cabinet door 113 extractable waste separation system 114 on. This waste separation system includes recordings 115 . 116 for various rubbish bins that hold waste of different types. The containers themselves are in 9 not shown. In addition, it is provided in the context of the present invention that the waste separation system 114 has an opening support, which means that it opens after the cabinet door 113 either automatically emerges from the inner housing or the opening movement is partially manual but supported. The opening mechanism is not explained in detail here.

Out 9 you can see that the waste separation system 114 does not take up the entire storage space of the inner housing, but rather a freshness cabinet next to it 117 and next to it in the drawing on the right outside a towel drying chamber 118 is arranged. The advantage of accommodating these devices in the base cabinet according to the invention 30 is, among other things, that the cold water, which is used to supply the sink, by arranging a corresponding pipe loop for cooling in the freshness cabinet 117 can also use hot water accumulating in the sink area, for example via a pipe loop for drying towels in the towel drying chamber 118 can use.

The following will refer to 10 another possible embodiment for the design of a base cabinet according to the invention 30 described in more detail. In this variant, the inner casing 32 , this in 10 yourself inside the base cabinet 30 so that only the front panel 33 is recognizable, only a waste separation system 114 on. In this variant, the waste separation system 114 larger than the one based on 9 Example described above and allows the placement of several containers. The waste separation system also includes this 114 for example three shots 115 . 116 . 119 for waste containers of different sizes, in which waste of different types is to be kept. The waste separation system 114 is again from the base cabinet 30 extractable or it automatically emerges from the base cabinet after a corresponding lock has been released or a similar mechanism. In contrast to the exemplary embodiment described above, the waste separation system, which is designed as a large drawer with several compartments, has here 114 a front panel 120 so that when the waste separation system is inserted 114 these are flush with the front panel above 31 locks the base cabinet. The front panel 120 stands a little above the top edge 121 the drawer-like waste separation system in front of and preferably also to the side a little over the side walls 122 of the waste separation system, so that when the waste separation system is inserted, the front panel 120 also the control panel attached to the inner housing 33 covers and the whole has a uniform appearance of a cuboid base cabinet. How to compare with the embodiment of 9 found the variant through 10 not a door, but the waste separation system 114 is at 10 simply pulled out by the operator or emerges from the base cabinet 30 , while the variant of 9 first the door 113 is opened and then the waste separation system 114 can be pulled out or emerges automatically.

11 shows a third possible variant of a base cabinet according to the invention 30 , which basically has two drawers 123 . 124 are arranged one above the other from the base cabinet 30 are extractable. The top drawer 123 contains the waste separation system 114 and may have a similar structure and a similar division as in the embodiment according to 10 , In the variant after 11 however, the waste separation system extends 114 receiving drawer 123 to the upper end of the base cabinet 30 so that the fixed front panel 31 omitted here. In the variant after 11 no control front is provided as in the previously described exemplary embodiments. Instead of a drawer 124 a fixed front panel can also be arranged in the lower area. However, there is another drawer 124 to the ge use the available storage space, for example to accommodate other utensils required in the kitchen area. Even with the 11 Embodiment described can be used from the idea of using an inner housing according to the invention, which differs from that in 1 shown inner housing 32 differs in that the control panel that on the bezel 33 is not applicable, so that in the variant after 11 the inner case 32 in principle up to below the cover plate 125 the base cabinet or up to a worktop arranged there. The variant according to 11 can also be used, for example, for other base cabinets that are not sink cabinets. This in 11 inner casing not very well recognizable 32 can have a lower depth than the base cabinet, so that there is space behind for the installation modules. The inner case 32 could also look at the variant

11 below that for the waste separation system 114 provided drawer 123 ends, so that it only accommodates this drawer and the storage space underneath, which is then secured by a fixed front panel 124 closed, can then be used again to house installation systems there (for example, the in 1 shown installation modules 41 . 42 . 43 ), the accessibility of which is not necessary for the person working in the household. The one behind such a fixed front panel 124 Horizontal installation modules are, of course, for a fitter after removal, for example unscrewing the front panel 124 accessible for maintenance or repairs.

The following will refer to 12 once again the principle of a base cabinet according to the invention 30 explained according to a possible variant of the invention. The side walls of the base cabinet are omitted here so that you can look inside the base cabinet. Also missing is the inner housing that can be used in such a base cabinet. Such an inner casing 32 for itself is in 13 shown. 12 shows how the mounting frame 39 with the different installation modules 41 . 42 . 43 in the base cabinet 30 is housed. It will also supplement 3 directed. The variant according to 12 shows that the inner housing can in principle also be assembled from several individual parts on site, whereby the same effect is achieved. First, the various installation modules are in the base cabinet 41 . 42 . 43 by means of the mounting frame 39 mounted like this in 12 is shown. The installation modules are then covered by using cover panels. This can be, for example, a rear cover panel 126 be about vertical in the base cabinet 30 is pushed in and the wastewater module behind it 42 covered. You can also use a cover plate to be installed approximately horizontally 127 use, which then forms the upper limit of the inner housing and the installation modules 43 . 41 covered downwards. Finally, you can use a front panel 128 under the front panel 31 of the base cabinet, which has a similar function as the front panel 33 according to 1 that are directly on the inner casing 32 is appropriate. The front panel 128 and the two cover panels 126 . 127 in this case cover the previously installed installation modules 41 . 42 . 43 and the mounting frame 39 completely, so they form an inner housing in the sense of the present invention, so that one separately in the base cabinet 30 usable inner housing, as in 13 is shown for the variant 12 can be omitted.

Below is on 13 Reference, which is a possible embodiment of an inner housing 32 according to the present invention. In this case, the inner case 32 a prefabricated housing with an integrated front panel as the operating front 33 serves and can be pre-embossed accordingly for the accommodation of the installation modules. Some such knockouts 129 for display elements, switches, sockets etc. are in 13 shown with dashed lines. In the area of the side wall 130 this inner housing has a flexible mounting grid 131 with rails, recesses or the like on, for example, pull-outs, shelves, hinges and the like in a simple assembly in the inner housing 32 to be able to attach. Furthermore, for example, pre-formed openings 132 for hinged door fittings. The floor 133 the inner housing can serve, for example, as a collecting trough or, if appropriate, an opening or a recess 134 if accessibility is required for using the space in the base area of the base cabinet. In this case, additional items can be accommodated, for example, in the base area of the base cabinet or under the floor 133 of the inner housing 32 Arrange further installation modules.

The following will refer to 14 a possible exemplary embodiment variant of a base cabinet according to the invention, which is designed as a sink base cabinet, is described. The base cabinet according to the invention can be seen 30 , which can also be installed as a built-in cupboard in a kitchen unit. In a worktop 45 above the base cabinet 30 is an arrangement with a first larger sink 44 and a smaller sink next to it 135 admitted. The control panel 136 located on a bezel on the inner case 32 (not shown here) includes, for example, various shut-off valves for the fresh water supply to the individual devices with 37 are designated. There is also a detergent dispenser in this variant 138 , that is, a container for Detergent, which can be refilled and can be pulled out of the front panel. Next to it is a facility 139 with a garbage bag stock, which, if empty, with additional garbage bags 140 can be equipped. This facility has the advantage that the trash bags 140 in a position in which they are easily accessible and in the immediate vicinity of the waste separation system below 40 , There is an additional socket next to it 141 for connecting another electrical device and various switches 142 for the actuation of the electrical devices that are located in the vicinity of the kitchen base cabinet, for example a dishwasher, washing machine, boiler and the like. The control front also includes various indicator lights 143 , so that you can see which devices are in operation or other control functions can be displayed. In addition, a timer can be present, for example, for a night shutdown of one of the electrical devices, such as a boiler or the like. Further variable additional modules can be arranged in the area of the operating front (not shown), in particular those which contain means which are required in the vicinity of the sink base cabinet or in the kitchen area, for example dispensers for scouring agents, soap, compost activators, vinegar, oil or a cartridge, which provides carbon dioxide.

This in 14 illustrated waste separation system that can be pulled out of the inner housing 114 is built like a drawer, similar to the previously described exemplary embodiments. It is a drawer with a relatively large height, which is divided into different compartments with receptacles 115 . 116 for various waste containers.

The following will refer to 15 another embodiment of the invention explained in more detail. This drawing also shows a sink cabinet 30 built into a kitchenette. In this variant there is a continuous worktop 45 provided that extends over the base cabinet according to the invention and other adjacent cabinets. In the worktop 45 are a larger sink 44 and a smaller sink 135 admitted. In the area of a front panel 144 below the worktop 45 is a display unit 145 embedded, which can also be used to control various functions of installations or devices that are installed in the kitchen base cabinet.
