Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kühlschranktür mit einer Außenverkleidung, einer Wärmeisolationsschicht und einer Innenverkleidung, an welcher zum Abstellen von Kühlgut Ablagefächer gehaltert sind, von denen an der Innenverkleidung wenigstens zwei Ablagefächer annähernd übereinander angeordnet sind, deren Ablagefachböden sich zumindest abschnittsweise überdecken, wobei der Ablagefachboden des höherliegenden Ablagefaches im Überdeckungsbereich zumindest teilweise durch Verschwenken eines Ablagefachbodenabschnitts aussparbar ist.The invention relates to a refrigerator door with an outer panel, one Thermal insulation layer and an inner lining, on which for the storage of Chilled goods storage compartments are held, of which at least two on the inner lining Storage compartments are arranged approximately one above the other, whose storage shelves are Cover at least in sections, with the storage shelf of the higher one Storage compartments in the overlap area at least partially by pivoting one Storage compartment section is recessable.

Bei Kühlgerätetüren ist es üblich, deren Innenverkleidung mit Haltemaßnahmen zur Halterung von Türablagefächem auszustatten, welche an der Innenverkleidung sowohl im Abstand übereinander als auch nebeneinander anbringbar sind. Für den Fall, dass in einem tieferliegenden Ablagefach flaschenartiges Lagergut abgelegt werden soll, ist das darüberliegende Ablagefach in einem wenigstens die Höhe des flaschenartigen Ablagegutes ausmachenden Abstand anzuordnen, um eine Einlagerung solchen Lagergutes überhaupt möglich zu machen. Zur sicheren Halterung des flaschenartigen Lagergutes beim Öffnungsvorgang der Tür ist das Ablagefach zur Abstützung des flaschenartigen Lagergutes entweder mit ausreichend hohen Seitenwandungen oder mit einem zusätzlichen Flaschenhaltebügel auszustatten, welcher beabstandet zum freien oberen Ende der Seitenwandungen des Ablagefaches angeordnet ist. Während ein an einem Ablagefach anzubringenden Flaschenhaltebügel zusätzlichen Fertigungsaufwand bedeutet, zieht ein speziell mit hohen Seitenwandungen ausgerüstetes Ablagefach nach sich, dass dieses nur bedingt zur Einlagerung von kleinformatigem Kühlgut geeignet ist, da dieses im eingelagerten Zustand uneinsehbar und damit nur umständlich aus dem Ablagefach entnehmbar ist.With refrigerator doors, it is common to have their interior cladding with holding measures Equip bracket of door storage compartments, which on the inner panel both in Distance can be attached one above the other as well as side by side. In the event that in a deeper storage compartment bottle-like goods to be stored is that Overlying storage compartment in at least the height of the bottle-like Arrange stored goods to make a storage To make stored goods possible at all. For secure mounting of the bottle-like Stored goods when the door is opened are the storage compartment to support the bottle-like stored goods either with sufficiently high side walls or with to equip an additional bottle holder, which is spaced from the free the upper end of the side walls of the storage compartment is arranged. During an on a bottle holder to attach a storage bracket additional manufacturing effort means a storage compartment specially equipped with high side walls that this is only conditionally suitable for storing small-sized items to be refrigerated, since this is invisible in the stored state and therefore only cumbersome from the Storage compartment is removable.

Ferner ist eine Kühlschranktür gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 aus der JP-A-01 184385 bekannt. Das aus diesem Stand der Technik hervorgehende Ablagefach besitzt einen abklappbaren Boden zur Herstellung einer Aussparung im Ablagefachboden. Mit Hilfe dieser Aussparung besteht die Möglichkeit, Lagergut in hohen Gebinden, wie beispielsweise Flaschen oder dergleichen in einem unterhalb des Ablagefaches mit dem abklappbaren Boden vorgesehenen weiteren Ablagefach abstellen zu können. Der nach unten abklappbare Bodenabschnitt bedingt eine aufwendige Haltemaßnahme für diesen, da die Haltemaßnahme prinzipbedingt einen Entriegelungsmechanismus besitzen muss. Ferner ist der nach unten abklappbare Bodenabschnitt dahingehend nachteilig, dass er das Be- und Entladen eines darunter angeordneten Ablagefaches zumindest erschwert, wenn nicht gar behindert.Furthermore, a refrigerator door according to the preamble of claim 1 from JP-A-01 184385 known. The storage compartment resulting from this state of the art has a foldable bottom to create a recess in the storage compartment. With the help of this recess there is the possibility of storing goods in high containers, such as for example bottles or the like in a below the storage compartment with the foldable floor provided to be able to park another storage compartment. The after bottom section which can be folded down requires an elaborate holding measure for this, since the holding measure must have an unlocking mechanism. Furthermore, the bottom section which can be folded down is disadvantageous in that it the loading and unloading of a storage compartment arranged below it is at least difficult, if not disabled.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, mit einfachen konstruktiven Maßnahmen die an der Innenverkleidung anzubringenden Ablagefächem derart zu verbessern, dass die Nachteile des Standes der Technik vermieden sind und zugleich der Gebrauchsnutzen der Ablagefächer erhöht ist.The invention is based on the object with simple constructive measures the storage compartments to be attached to improve such that the Disadvantages of the prior art are avoided and at the same time the utility the storage compartments are raised.

Diese Aufgabe ist gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass der Ablagefachbodenabschnitt in seiner hochgeklappten, geöffneten Position mit seinem freien Ende von dem darunterliegend angeordneten Ablagefach weggerichtet und zur Innenverkleidung hin verschwenkt ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the Storage compartment section in its folded open position with its free end directed away from the storage compartment underneath and to Inner panel is pivoted.

Durch eine derartige Anordnung entfällt nicht nur ein aufwendiger Verriegelungsmechanismus sondern zugleich auch der Umstand, dass die Beschickung des darunter liegenden Ablagefaches behindert ist. Somit ist auf einfache Art und Weise die Möglichkeit geschaffen, das tieferliegende Ablagefach unmittelbar zum Abstellen von in hohen Gebinden abgepacktem Lagergut, wie Flaschen oder dergleichen nutzen zu können, ohne dass das höherliegende Ablagefach in seiner Höhenposition hin zu größeren Abständen verändern zu müssen und ohne das tieferliegende Ablagefach besonders ausbilden oder ausstatten zu müssen, da mit Hilfe der in den Ablagefachboden des höher liegenden Ablagefachs einbringbaren Freisparung eine unmittelbare Einlagerung von flaschenartigem, den Abstand zwischen beiden Ablagefächern überragenen Lagergut möglich ist und zugleich dieses Lagergut durch die Ränder der Freisparung an seinem oberen Ende ohne zusätzliche Mittel beim Öffnungsvorgang der Tür sicher abgestützt ist. Darüber hinaus ist durch die Freisparung ein zum Abstellen von flaschenartigem Lagergut notwendiger Mindestabstand zwischen zwei höhenmäßig benachbarten Ablagefächem vermieden, so dass sich die Möglichkeit ergibt, die Ablagefächer an der Innenverkleidung in geringeren Höhenabständen zueinander anzuordnen, wodurch eine größere Anzahl derartiger Ablagefächer an der Innenverkleidung anbringbar ist und somit eine nicht unwesentliche Erhöhung der Lagerkapazität des Kühlgerätes erreicht ist. Außerdem kann auf eine Überhöhung der Ablagefachwandungen des für flaschenartigen Lagergut vorgesehenen Ablagefachs verzichtet werden, so dass die Ablagefächer hinsichtlich ihrer Ablagefachwandungen im wesentlichen mit gleicher Höhe ausgestattet sein können und das an sich zum Abstützen von flaschenartigem Lagergut vorgesehene Ablagefach auch zur übersichtlichen Einlagerung von kleinformatigem Kühlgut geeignet ist. Femer können an den zum Abstellen von flaschenartigem Lagergut vorgesehenen Ablagefach zusätzliche Haltemittel für das in hohen Gebinden abgepackte Lagergut, wie Flaschenhaltebügel oder dergleichen entfallen.Such an arrangement not only eliminates a complex Locking mechanism but at the same time the fact that the loading of the storage compartment underneath is disabled. So it's simple created the possibility of storing the lower storage compartment immediately stored goods packed in high containers, such as bottles or the like can without the higher storage compartment in its height position having to change larger distances and without the lower storage compartment especially to have to train or equip, because with the help of the storage compartment of the higher storage compartment that can be brought in is an immediate Storage of bottle-like, the distance between two storage compartments towering storage goods is possible and at the same time this storage goods through the edges of the Clearance at its upper end without additional funds when opening the Door is supported securely. In addition, the exemption is a for parking bottle-like stored goods necessary minimum distance between two in height neighboring storage compartments avoided, so that there is the possibility that Storage compartments on the interior paneling at shorter heights from each other to arrange, whereby a larger number of such storage compartments on the Interior lining is attachable and thus a not insignificant increase in Storage capacity of the cooling device is reached. In addition, an increase in the Storage compartment walls of the storage compartment provided for bottle-like storage goods be dispensed with, so that the storage compartments with regard to their storage compartment walls in the can essentially be equipped with the same height and that in itself for support Storage compartment provided for bottle-like storage items also for a clear overview Storage of small-sized refrigerated goods is suitable. You can also go to the Storage of bottle-like storage space provided additional storage means for stored goods packed in high containers, such as bottle hangers or the like does not apply.

Besonders günstig abgestützt ist der verschwenkbare Ablagefachbodenabschnitt, wenn nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, dass der verschwenkbare Ablagefachbodenabschnitt in seiner horizontalen Ablagestellung mit seinen kürzeren seitlichen Rändern seiner Unterseite sich auf Auflageleisten abstütztThe pivotable storage compartment section is supported particularly favorably, if provided according to a preferred embodiment of the object of the invention is that the pivotable storage compartment section is in its horizontal Storage position with its shorter side edges on its underside Supporting ledges supported

Besonders vorteilhaft und zweckmäßig angeordnet sind die Auflageleisten, wenn nach einer nächsten vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, dass die Auflageleisten am tieferliegenden Ende der schmäleren, sich senkrecht von der Innenverkleidung erstreckenden Wandabschnitte angeordnet sind und eine Länge aufweisen, welche dem lichten Abstand zwischen den längeren, parallel zur Innenverkleidung verlaufenden Wandabschnitten der Ablagefachwandung entspricht.The support strips are arranged particularly advantageously and expediently if after a next advantageous embodiment of the subject of the invention provided is that the support ledges at the lower end of the narrower, perpendicular from the inner lining extending wall sections are arranged and a length have, which the clear distance between the longer, parallel to Interior paneling running wall sections of the storage compartment wall corresponds.

Nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Aussparung im Ablagefachboden des höherliegenden Ablagefachs zumindest im Nahbereich von dessen freien von der Innenverkleidung abgewandten Seitenwandung einbringbar ist.According to a further preferred embodiment of the subject of the invention provided that the recess in the storage compartment of the higher storage compartment at least in the vicinity of its free side facing away from the inner lining Side wall can be introduced.

Durch eine derartige Anordnung der Aussparung ist eine besonders sichere Abstützung des in hohen Gebinden abgepackten Lagergutes an dessen freien Ende erreicht, da dieses über die Höhe der Seitenwandung des höherliegenden Ablagefachbodens abgestützt ist. Such an arrangement of the recess provides particularly secure support of the stored goods packed in high containers reached at its free end because this over the height of the side wall of the higher storage shelf is supported.

Nach einer nächsten vorteilhaften Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Ablagefachbodenabschnitt des Ablagefachbodens um eine horizontale Drehachse verschwenkbar ist.According to a next advantageous embodiment of the subject of the invention provided that the storage compartment section of the storage compartment by one horizontal axis of rotation is pivotable.

Durch eine solche Lösung ist eine rasche Einbringung der Aussparung in den Ablagefachboden möglich, so dass das Ablagefach rasch von seiner typischen Anwendung als Abstellmöglichkeit für Kühlgut umrüstbar ist, für eine kombinierte Anwendung, nämlich einerseits als Kühigut-Ablagemöglichkeit und andererseits als Haltemaßnahme für in hohen Gebinden abgepacktes Lagergut. Zudem ist der die Aussparung überdeckende Abschnitt des Ablagefachbodens fest dem Ablagefach zugeordnet und somit unverlierbar an diesem gehaltert.Such a solution enables the recess to be introduced quickly into the Storage compartment possible, so that the storage compartment quickly from its typical Application as a storage facility for refrigerated goods can be converted for a combined Application, namely on the one hand as a cool goods storage option and on the other hand as Holding measure for goods packed in high containers. It is also the Recess-covering section of the storage compartment floor fixed to the storage compartment assigned and thus held captive on it.

Gemäß Fig. 1 ist in vereinfachter, schematischer Darstellung eine Kühlschranktür 10 gezeigt, welche aus einer durch spanlose Formgebung einer korrosionsgeschützten Blechplatine erzeugte Außenverkleidung 11 aufweist, welche an einer ihrer im Einbauzustand der Kühlschranktür 10 vertikalen seitlichen Ränder mit einem Türgriff 12 versehen ist. Die Außenverkleidung 11 umschließt zusammen mit einer Innenverkleidung 13 einen Hohlraum, welcher mit Wärmeisolationsmaterial verfüllt ist, durch dessen adhäsive Wirkung die Außenverkleidung 11 und die Innenverkleidung 13 zu einem formsteifen Türkorpus verbunden sind. Die Innenverkleidung 12 ist in Randnähe mit einer Magnetdichtung 14 ausgestattet, welche im Schließzustand der Kühlschranktür 10 an einem als Anker für die Magnete dienenden Gehäuserand eines nicht gezeigten Kühlschrankgehäuses aufliegt. Im Anschluss an die Magnetdichtung 14 weist die Innenverkleidung 13 eine rahmenartige Einfassung 15 auf, innerhalb welcher ein mit ihr verbundener, vertikal angeordneter Holm 16 vorgesehen ist, durch welchen die lichte Weite der Einfassung in annähernd zwei gleichbreite Abschnitte unterteilt ist. Der Holm 16 dient zusammen mit den vertikalen Abschnitten der Einfassung 15 zur Halterung von Türablagefächern, von denen die nahe des höherliegenden waagerechten Abschnitts der Einfassung 15 angeordneten, als sogenannte Butterfächer 17 ausgebildet sind, während die darunter angeordneten Ablagefächer 18 und 21 im wesentlichen die Form einer langgestreckten Schale aufweisen. Von den Ablagefächem 18 und 21 ist das tieferliegende Ablagefach 18 einstückig aus einem Ablagefachboden 19 und einer darauf gerichteten Ablagefachwandung 20 gebildet. Das zwischen dem Ablagefach 18 und dem Butterfach 17 angeordnete Ablagefach 21 weist wie das Ablagefach 18 einen Ablagefachboden 22 auf, welcher im Gegensatz zum Ablagefachboden 19 um eine horizontale Drehachse 23 verschwenkbar ist, welche im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel an der der Innenverkleidung 13 zugewandten Längskante des Ablagefachbodens 22 angeordnet ist und welche durch im Querschnitt kreisförmige zapfenartige, zueinander fluchtend angeordnete Ansätze gebildet ist (siehe hierzu auch Fig. 2 und 3). Der Ablagefachboden 22 ist deckungsgleich zum Ablagefachboden 19 des Ablagefaches 18 angeordnet und von einer Ablagefachwandung 24 umgeben, deren schmälere, sich vertikal von der Innenverkleidung 13 erstreckende Wandabschnitte an ihrem tieferliegenden Ende mit Auflageleisten 25 versehen sind, deren Länge nahezu der lichten Weite zwischen den längeren, parallel zur Innenverkleidung 13 verlaufenden Wandabschnitte der Ablagefachwandung 24 entspricht. Von den parallel zur Innenverkleidung 13 verlaufenden Wandabschnitten der Ablagefachwandung 24 dient der benachbart zur Innenverkleidung 13 angeordnete Abschnitt als Anschlag für den in seiner hochgeklappten Position II befindlichen Ablagefachboden 22, welcher sich in seiner horizontalen Ablagestellung I mit den kürzeren seitlichen Rändern seiner Unterseite auf den Auflageleisten 25 abstützt. In dieser Position dient der Ablagefachboden 22 wie der Ablagefachboden 19 des Ablagefaches 18 zum Abstellen von Kühlgut 26 (siehe hierzu Fig. 2.). Für den Fall, dass das Ablagefach 18 zum Abstellen von Lagergut 27, abgepackt in hohen Gebinden, wie Flaschen, Milchtüten oder dergleichen, Anwendung finden soll, ist der Ablagefachboden 22 vor dem Abstellen des Lagergutes 27 im Ablagefach 18 in seine vertikale Position II zu bringen, wodurch das Lagergut 27 über die nun im Ablagefach 21 entstandene Freisparung im Ablagefach 18 abgestellt werden kann. Hierbei dient die Ablagefachwandung 24 des Ablagefaches 22 zugleich als Sicherungsmaßnahme für das flaschenartige Lagergut 27, wobei der mit Abstand zur Innenverkleidung angeordnete Wandabschnitt der Ablagefachwandung 24 als Flaschen-Rückhaltebügel, insbesondere beim Öffnen der Kühlschranktür 10 dient.1 is a refrigerator door 10 in a simplified, schematic representation shown, which from a non-cutting shaping of a corrosion-protected Sheet metal produced outer panel 11, which on one of their in Installation state of the refrigerator door 10 vertical side edges with a door handle 12 is provided. The outer lining 11 encloses together with an inner lining 13 a cavity, which is filled with heat insulation material through the adhesive effect the outer panel 11 and the inner panel 13 into one dimensionally stable door body are connected. The inner lining 12 is close to the edge with a Magnetic seal 14 equipped, which in the closed state of the refrigerator door 10 a housing edge serving as an anchor for the magnets of one not shown Fridge housing rests. Following the magnetic seal 14, the Inner lining 13 has a frame-like border 15, within which a with it connected, vertically arranged spar 16 is provided, through which the light The width of the border is divided into approximately two sections of equal width. The spar 16 serves together with the vertical sections of the mount 15 to hold Door storage compartments, of which the near the higher horizontal section of the Edging 15 arranged, designed as so-called butter fans 17, while the storage compartments 18 and 21 arranged underneath essentially the shape of a have an elongated shell. Of the storage compartments 18 and 21 that is lower-lying storage compartment 18 in one piece from a storage compartment shelf 19 and one thereon directed storage compartment wall 20 is formed. The between the storage compartment 18 and the Storage compartment 21 arranged in butter compartment 17, like storage compartment 18, has one Storage compartment 22, which, in contrast to the storage compartment 19 by one horizontal axis of rotation 23 is pivotable, which in the present Embodiment on the inner edge 13 facing longitudinal edge of the Storage shelf 22 is arranged and which by circular in cross section cone-like approaches aligned with one another is formed (see also here 2 and 3). The storage compartment 22 is congruent with the storage compartment 19 of the Storage compartments 18 arranged and surrounded by a storage compartment wall 24, the narrower wall sections extending vertically from the inner lining 13 their lower end are provided with support strips 25, the length of which is almost that clear width between the longer, parallel to the inner panel 13 Wall sections of the storage compartment wall 24 corresponds. From parallel to Inner lining 13 extending wall sections of the storage compartment wall 24 is used arranged adjacent to the inner lining 13 as a stop for the in his folded up position II located shelf 22, which is in its horizontal storage position I with the shorter side edges of its underside supports the support strips 25. In this position, the storage shelf 22 serves as the Storage compartment 19 of the storage compartment 18 for storing refrigerated goods 26 (see here Fig. 2.). In the event that the storage compartment 18 for storing stored goods 27 is packed in high containers, such as bottles, milk cartons or the like, is to be used the storage shelf 22 before the storage of the goods 27 in the storage compartment 18 in his Bring vertical position II, whereby the stored goods 27 on the now in the storage compartment 21st resulting cutout can be parked in the storage compartment 18. Here serves the Storage compartment wall 24 of the storage compartment 22 at the same time as a safety measure for the bottle-like storage goods 27, the one arranged at a distance from the inner lining Wall section of the storage compartment wall 24 as a bottle retention bracket, in particular serves when opening the refrigerator door 10.

Für den Fall, dass das tieferliegende Ablagefach 18 zur Ablage von Kühlgut 26 benutzt wird, dessen Höhe geringer als der Höhenabstand der beiden Ablagefächer 18 und 21 ist, kann der verschwenkbare Ablagefachboden 22 wieder in seine horizontale Ablagestellung verschwenkt werden, so dass das Ablagefach 21 ebenso zum Abstellen von Kühlgut 26 nutzbar ist.In the event that the lower-lying storage compartment 18 for storing refrigerated goods 26 is used, the height of which is less than the height distance between the two Storage compartments 18 and 21, the pivotable storage shelf 22 be pivoted back into its horizontal storage position, so that the Storage compartment 21 can also be used for storing refrigerated goods 26.

Entgegen dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist es auch denkbar, dass der Ablagefachboden 22 des Ablagefaches 21 auch abschnittsweise verschwenkbar oder lose entnehmbar ist, so dass dadurch die Möglichkeit eröffnet wird, wenigstens einen Teil des Ablagefachbodens 22 als Abstelifläche nützen zu können, wenn im tieferliegenden Ablagefach 18 flaschenartiges Lagergut 27 abgestellt ist, dessen Höhe den Höhenabstand zwischen den beiden Ablagefächem 18 und 21 überragt, so dass der Ablagefachboden 22 zumindest teilweise aus seiner horizontalen Ablagestellung in seine vertikale Position verschwenkt sein muss.Contrary to the present embodiment, it is also conceivable that the Storage compartment 22 of storage compartment 21 can also be pivoted in sections or can be removed loosely, so that this opens up the possibility use at least part of the storage shelf 22 as a storage space can, if bottle-like storage item 27 in the lower storage compartment 18 is turned off, the height of which is the height difference between the two Storage compartments 18 and 21 protrude, so that the storage shelf 22 at least partially from its horizontal storage position to its vertical position must be pivoted.

Ebenso ist es auch denkbar, die beiden Ablagefächer 18 bzw. 21 derart versetzt zueinander anzuordnen, dass deren Ablagefachböden 19 bzw. 22 lediglich teilweise überdeckend angeordnet sind, wobei der sich überdeckende Teil des höherliegenden Ablagefaches 22 dann verschwenkbar ausgebildet ist, um die Möglichkeit zu haben, durch Verschwenken dieses Teils des Ablagefachbodens 22 Lagergut in hohen Gebinden im tieferliegenden Ablagefach 18 einstellen zu können, ohne den Höhenabstand der beiden Ablagefächer 18 bzw. 21 zum Zwecke der Einlagerung dieses Lagerguts ändern zu müssen.It is also conceivable to offset the two storage compartments 18 and 21 in this way to arrange to each other that their storage shelves 19 and 22 only are arranged partially overlapping, the overlapping part of the higher storage compartment 22 is then pivoted to the Possibility to have, by pivoting this part of the storage shelf 22 Set the goods in high containers in the lower storage compartment 18 can without the height difference between the two storage compartments 18 and 21 The need to change the storage of this inventory.
