Description

GEGENSTAND DER ERFINDUNGOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

Bei der Erfindung handelt es sich um eine Schaltvorrichtung für Beleuchtungsreinrichtungen wie sie in Kühlgeräten mit wärmeisolierendem Gehäuse verwendet werden. Diese Kühlgeräte bestehen aus einer Kühlkammer, welche über eine Tür zugänglich ist, die an dem Gehäuse in drehender Form angebracht ist und unabhängig von der Drehrichtung der Tür verwendet werden kann; d.h. die Betätigung erfolgt unabhängig von der Position der Tür zum Gehäuse. Damit wird verhindert, daß eine falsche Stellung das einwandfreie Funktionieren der Beleuchtungseinrichtung beeinträchtigt.The invention is a switching device for Lighting devices such as those in cooling devices with heat-insulating Housing are used. These cooling devices consist of a cooling chamber, which is accessible via a door, which rotates on the housing is attached and used regardless of the direction of rotation of the door can; i.e. the actuation is independent of the position of the door to Casing. This prevents an incorrect position from being correct Functioning of the lighting device impaired.

HINTERGRUND DER ERFINDUNGBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Die heutige Technik kennt den Einsatz von Vorrichtungen, die die in Kühlgeräten verwendeten Beleuchtungseinrichtungen so steuern, daß beim Öffnen und Schließen der Tür die Beleuchtung in der Kühlkammer ein- oder ausgeschaltet wird.
Die Ein- oder Abschaltung erfolgt über eine Vorrichtung, die dabei einen Schalter zum Ein- und Ausschalten der Lampe betätigt, welche Bestandteil der Beleuchtungseinrichtung ist.Today's technology knows the use of devices that control the lighting devices used in cooling devices so that the lighting in the cooling chamber is switched on or off when the door is opened and closed.
The device is switched on or off by means of a device which actuates a switch for switching the lamp on and off, which is part of the lighting device.

In einigen Fällen befindet sich der Schalter im Innern der Kühlkammer und wird über die Doppeltür betätigt, in anderen Fällen ist der Schalter außen am oberen Teil der Tür angebracht. Hierbei wird er direkt durch die Tür betätigt. In den Fällen, in denen die Schalter außen an der Kühlkammer Vorgesehen sind, können diese ebensogut an anderen Stellen angebracht werden, um den gleichen Effekt zu erzielen. In some cases the switch is inside the cooling chamber and will Operated via the double door, in other cases the switch is on the outside at the top Part of the door attached. Here it is operated directly through the door. In the In cases where the switches are provided on the outside of the cooling chamber, these can just as well be attached to other locations to the same To achieve effect.

Da die Türen in jedem Fall zur Öffnung nach rechts oder nach links montiert werden können und dazu noch das Eigengewicht der Türen kommt, neigen diese dazu, sich zu verstellen, was zur Beeinträchtigung einer präzisen Funktionsweise der Schalter führt und zu Schweirigkeiten bei der Festlegung des genauen Zeitpunktes der Schalterbetätigung. In manchen Fällen kommt es aufgrund der angesprochenen Verstellungen sogar zum Ausfall der Schalter.Because the doors are always mounted to open to the right or to the left and the dead weight of the doors also tends to increase to pretend what is impairing precise functioning the switch leads to difficulties in determining the exact When the switch was actuated. In some cases it happens because of the mentioned adjustments even to the failure of the switches.

Dieser besteht in Form eines Mikroschalters und ist für die Betätigung der Beleuchtungseinrichtung vorgesehen. The switch is actuated by the cam on the switching spring of the switch acts. This is in the form of a microswitch and is for the actuation of the lighting device is provided.

Um die Positionerung des Mikroschalters an der Halterung zu erreichen, wurde dieser Schalter in einem Gehäuse untergebracht, das mit Befestigungsteilen an der Halterung arretiert wird. Diese ist notwendig, um eine einwandfreie Anbringung des Mikroschalters in bezug auf die Nockenkontur am Anschlag zu erreichen, und zwar sowohl beim Öffnen der Tür nach rechts wie auch nach links.
Die Anordnung des Mikroschalters im Gehäuse wird so ausgeführt, daß er sich nicht bewegt, aber herausgezogen werden kann.To achieve the positioning of the microswitch on the bracket, this switch was housed in a housing that is locked to the bracket with fasteners. This is necessary in order to ensure that the microswitch is correctly attached to the cam contour at the stop, both when opening the door to the right and to the left.
The arrangement of the microswitch in the housing is carried out so that it cannot move but can be pulled out.

Die Elemente zur Anbringung des Gehäuses an der Halterung bestehen aus einigen vorstehenden, dornenähnlichen teilen, die an den Seitenwänden des Gehäuses herausragen und asymetrisch zum Gehäusekörper angelegt sind.The elements for attaching the housing to the bracket consist of some protruding, thorn-like parts, which on the side walls of the Protrude housing and are asymmetrical to the housing body.

Zur Befestigung des Gehäuses an der Halterung muß in dieser eine Bohrung vorgenommen werden, in welche einer der Dornen eingeführt wird. Für eine korrekte Befestigung sollte diese Öffnung vorzugsweise länglich und/oder asymetrisch ausgeführt sein.A hole must be drilled in the bracket to fasten the housing to it in which one of the thorns is inserted. For one correct attachment, this opening should preferably be elongated and / or be carried out asymmetrically.

Die Befestigungsöffnung ist asymetrisch zum Gehäusekörper angelegt.The mounting opening is asymmetrical to the housing body.

    • BESCHREIBUNG EINES AUSFÜHRUNGSBEISPIELES DER ERFINDUNGDESCRIPTION OF AN EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

    Nachstehend erfolgt eine Beschreibung der Erfindung auf Grundlage der oben kommentierten Abbildungen.The following is a description of the invention based on the above annotated illustrations.

    Wie bereits angegeben, stellt die Erfindung eine Schaltvorrichtung für die Beleuchtungseinrichtung von Kühlgeräten dar, bei denen eine mit Befestigungsteilen bestückte Halterung 1 am Gehäuse 2 verwendet wird. In dem Ausführungsbeispiel ist dies durch eine Schraube 3 und eine Verlängerung 4 dargestellt. Dies kann auch ein beliebiges anderes Teil sein, da es nicht Gegenstand der Erfindung ist.As already stated, the invention provides a switching device for the Illuminating device of cooling devices, in which one with Fasteners equipped bracket 1 on the housing 2 is used. By doing This is exemplified by a screw 3 and an extension 4 shown. This can also be any other part since it is not The subject of the invention is.

    Außerdem wurde ein Aufnahmeteil für die Halterung I vorgesehen, das aus einem Bolzen 5 besteht, dessen oberer Teil eine Einkerbung 6 aufweist, die nach dem Anschlag 7 gemäß einem unten befindlichen asymetrischen Abschnitt 8 verläuft und die gesamte Nocke darstellt.In addition, a receiving part for the bracket I was provided that there is a bolt 5, the upper part of which has a notch 6, which according to the stop 7 according to an asymmetrical section 8 located below runs and represents the entire cam.

    Der asymetrische Teil 8 ist kraftschlüssig mit der Tür 9, wobei auf der Einkerbung 6 der Schaltmechanismus 10 eines im Gehäuse 11 untergebrachten Mikroschalters ruht. Das Gehäuse 11 ist mit einigen vorstehenden, dornenähnlichen Teilen 12 versehen, die an den Seitenwänden des Gehäuses 11 herausragen und asymetrisch zum Körper des Gehäuses 11 angelegt sind. The asymmetrical part 8 is non-positively connected to the door 9, being on the Notch 6 of the switching mechanism 10 one housed in the housing 11 Microswitch is at rest. The housing 11 is provided with some of the above, thorn-like parts 12 provided on the side walls of the housing 11th protrude and are asymmetrical to the body of the housing 11.

    Der Einschluß von zwei vorstehenden Teilen 12 gestattet die Anbringung des Mikroschalters für eine Tür 9, die sich nach rechts oder auch nach links öffnet.The inclusion of two protruding parts 12 allows the attachment of the Microswitch for a door 9 that opens to the right or to the left.

    Eines der Vorstehenden Teile 12 wird in eine Bohrung an der Halterung 1 eingeführt, so daß das Gehäuse (11) vollkommen an der Halterung 1 befestigt ist.One of the above parts 12 is in a hole in the bracket 1st introduced so that the housing (11) is completely attached to the bracket 1 is.

    Für eine Befestigung, die die Herausnahme des Mikroschalters aus dem Innern des Gehäuse 11 erlaubt, sind einige Ansätze 13 und Anschläge 14 zur Rückhaltung des Mikroschalters vorgesehen, ferner ist eine offene Seite vorhanden, die die einführung diese Mikroschalters ermöglicht.For an attachment that takes the removal of the microswitch from the inside of the housing 11 allowed, some approaches 13 and stops 14 for Retention of the microswitch is provided, and there is also an open side available, which enables the introduction of this microswitch.

    Da das asymetrische Stück 8 des Bolzens 5 kraftschlüssig mit der Tür 9 ist, entsteht beim Öffnen der Tür - da der Schaltmechanisms 10 auf der Einkerbung 6 des oberen Teils des Bolzen ruht - ein Schub des Schaltmechanismus 10 am Mikroschalter aufgrund der asymetrischen Drehung des oberen Bolzenteils 5, der verstärkt wird durch die Lage der Einkerbung 6.Since the asymmetrical piece 8 of the bolt 5 is non-positively connected to the door 9, arises when the door is opened - since the switching mechanisms 10 on the notch 6 of the upper part of the bolt rests - a push of the switching mechanism 10 am Microswitch due to the asymmetrical rotation of the upper pin part 5, which is reinforced by the position of the notch 6.

    Beim Schließvorgang entsteht die entgegengesetzte Wirkung, da beim Schließen der Schaltmechanismus 10 in seine Position 6 zurückkehrt, nach außen tritt und die Beleuchtung des Kühlgerätes abgeschaltet wird.The opposite effect occurs when closing, because when closing the switching mechanism 10 returns to its position 6, steps out and the lighting of the cooling device is switched off.

    Diese Bauweise gestattet die Einstellung des Ein- und Ausschaltepunktes der Beleuchtung, da sie auf der Funktion der ausdehnung der Einkerbung 6 beruht und nicht von der relativen Stellung der Tür 9 zum Gehäuse 2 abhängt.This design allows the switch-on and switch-off point of the Illumination, since it is based on the function of the expansion of the notch 6 and does not depend on the relative position of the door 9 to the housing 2.
