Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät wie ein Gefriergerät, eine Kühl- und Gefrierkombination oder dergleichen mit im Kälteraum übereinander angeordneten Aufnahmefächern, von denen wenigstens eines über eine horizontal verschwenkbare Klappe zugänglich ist.The invention relates to a refrigerator such as a freezer, a refrigerator and freezer combination or the like with storage compartments arranged one above the other in the cold room, at least one of which is accessible via a horizontally pivotable flap.

Bei Gefriergeräten ist es bekannt, neben schubladenartigen Ablagefächern zur Einlagerung von Gefriergut auch Ablagefächer innerhalb des Gefrierraumes auszubilden, welche auf ihrer der Tür des Gefriergerätes zugewandten Seite mit einer um eine horizontale Achse verschwenkbaren Klappe verschließbar sind. Derartige Klappen finden vor allem bei höher bauenden Gefriergeräten zum Verschließen ihrer höher liegenden Gefrierfächer Anwendung, da bei Gefrierschränken mit großer Bauhöhe die Einsichtnahme von in schubladenartigen Aufnahmefächern angeordnetem Lagergut nur unter Anwendung von leiterähnlichen Hilfsmitteln oder dergleichen möglich ist. Die Anwendung von verschwenkbaren Klappen zum Verschließen der Ablagefläche bringt jedoch mit sich, daß im Gegensatz zu den schubladenartig ausgebildeten Ausnahmefächern keine Ablagemöglichkeit zur Zwischenlagerung von Lagergut vorhanden ist, welches zum Beispiel ein- oder umgelagert werden soll.In freezers, it is known to design not only drawer-like storage compartments for storing frozen goods, but also storage compartments within the freezer compartment, which can be closed on their side facing the door of the freezer with a flap that can be pivoted about a horizontal axis. Such flaps are used above all in taller freezers for closing their higher freezer compartments, since in freezers with a large construction height the inspection of stored goods arranged in drawer-like storage compartments is only possible using ladder-like tools or the like. However, the use of pivotable flaps to close the storage surface means that, in contrast to the drawer-like exception compartments, there is no storage facility for the intermediate storage of stored goods, which, for example, is to be stored or relocated.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einem Kältegerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 mit einfachen konstruktiven Maßnahmen die Nachteile des Standes der Technik zu vermeiden und den Gerätegebrauchsnutzen zu erhöhen.The invention has for its object to avoid the disadvantages of the prior art in a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1 with simple design measures and to increase the utility use.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß die Klappe in geöffnetem Zustand durch wenigstens ein Fangband in einer annähernd horizontalen Position gehalten ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the flap is held in the open state by at least one tether in an approximately horizontal position.

Die erfindungsgemäße Maßnahme verhindert nicht nur, daß die Klappe nach ihrem Öffnen ungewollt gegen die Frontseite eines unmittelbar darunter angeordneten Aufnahmefaches schlägt, sondern eröffnet zugleich die Möglichkeit, zur Ein- oder Umlagerung vorgesehenes Gefriergut ablegen zu können. Durch die Möglichkeit, vorübergehend Lagergut auf der horizontal gehaltenen Lage zwischenlagern zu können, erleichtert sich nicht nur das Einsortieren des Lagergutes in das Aufnahmefach, sondern ist auch verhindert, daß eine Bedienperson beim Ein- und Umräumvorgang tiefgekühltes Lagergut über längeren Zeitraum halten oder gegebenenfalls in einem weiteren Aufnahmefach zwischenlagern muß. In letzterem Fall kann ein erheblicher Kälteverlust dann die Folge sein, wenn es sich bei dem zur Zwischenlagerung in Anspruch genommenen Aufnahmefach um ein gitterförmiges Schubfach handelt. Ferner kann an der durch die horizontale Klappenlage geschaffenen Ablageposition verschiedenartiges Gefriergut zwischengelagert werden, um es von dort in bequemer Weise in die verschiedenen Aufnahmefächer einsortieren zu können.The measure according to the invention not only prevents the flap from inadvertently bumping against the front of an accommodating compartment immediately below it, but also opens up the possibility of storage or rearrangement to be able to store the intended frozen goods. The possibility of being able to temporarily store the stored goods on the horizontally held position not only makes it easier to sort the stored goods into the storage compartment, but also prevents an operator from holding frozen stored goods over a longer period of time or, if necessary, in one must store another storage compartment. In the latter case, a considerable loss of cold can result if the storage compartment used for the intermediate storage is a grid-shaped drawer. Furthermore, various types of frozen goods can be temporarily stored at the storage position created by the horizontal flap position, in order to be able to conveniently sort them into the various storage compartments from there.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß zwei Fangbänder vorgesehen sind, welche einerseits an den seitlichen Randabschnitten der Klappe und andererseits an den seitlichen Rändern des Aufnahmefaches gehaltert sind.According to a preferred embodiment of the object of the invention it is provided that two tether straps are provided which are held on the one hand on the lateral edge portions of the flap and on the other hand on the lateral edges of the receiving compartment.

Durch diese Art der Anbringung der Fangbänder ist das Be- und Entladen des mit einer Klappe verschlossenen Aufnahmefaches ungehindert möglich. Außerdem ist durch eine derartige Anbringung der Fangbänder eine belastbare und lagestabile Halterung der Klappe in ihrer horizontalen Lage gewährleistet und zugleich eine ungewollte Beschädigung der Fangbänder weitestgehend ausgeschlossen.This type of attachment of the tether enables the loading and unloading of the storage compartment closed with a flap to be unimpeded. In addition, such attachment of the tether ensures a stable and stable position of the flap in its horizontal position and at the same time largely prevents unwanted damage to the tether.

Besonders einfach und kostengünstig herstellbar sind die Fangbänder, wenn nach einer nächsten vorteilhatten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß die Fangbänder einstückig aus Kunststoffspritzguß gefertigt sind.The tether straps are particularly simple and inexpensive to manufacture if, according to a next advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the tether straps are made in one piece from plastic injection molding.

Entsprechend einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die aus Kunststoffspritzguß gefertigten Fangbänder im Entlastungszustand zumindest im wesentlichen eine U-förmige Kontur aufweisen.According to a further preferred embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, it is provided that the tether straps made of plastic injection molding have at least essentially a U-shaped contour in the relief state.

Durch die bereits während ihres Herstellvorgangs eingeprägte Kontur der Fangbänder ist bei geschlossener Klappe eine definierte Form der Fangbänder erreicht und somit ein undefiniertes sperriges Verformungsverhalten der Fangbänder vermieden.As a result of the contour of the tether straps, which has already been impressed during their production process, a defined shape of the tether straps is achieved when the flap is closed, and thus an undefined bulky deformation behavior of the tether straps is avoided.

Gemäß einer alternativen Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Fangbänder aus je einer wenigstens zwei verdrillte Faserbündel aufweisenden Schnur gebildet sind, welche an ihren Enden mit Halteteilen versehen ist.According to an alternative embodiment of the subject matter of the invention it is provided that the tether straps are each formed from a cord having at least two twisted fiber bundles, which is provided at its ends with holding parts.

Fangbänder dieser Art erreichen eine hohe Zugfestigkeit, wodurch die damit in ihrer horizontalen Lage gehalterten Klappen besonders lagestabil auch bei höherer Belastung gehalten sind.Tethers of this type achieve a high tensile strength, which means that the flaps thus held in their horizontal position are held in a particularly stable position even under higher loads.

Nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Fangbänder mit einem Ende lösbar an zur Arretierung der Klappe in geschlossenem Zustand dienenden Haltebolzen und mit ihrem anderen Ende lösbar an der Klappe gehaltert sind.According to a further preferred embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, it is provided that the tether straps are releasably held on one end to the locking bolt serving to lock the flap in the closed state and releasably held on the flap with its other end.

Durch die Befestigung des Fangbandes mit einem seiner Enden an einem bereits vorhandenem Haltebolzen ist nicht nur der Fertigungsaufwand am Kühlgutbehälter des Kältegerätes deutlich reduziert, sondern zugleich die an sich in diesem Bereich des Kältegerätes prinzipbedingt beengten Platzverhältnisse nicht noch zusätzlich durch Anbringung eines weiteren Haltebolzens geschmälert und somit die Montagetätigkeit nicht unnötig erschwert. Zudem ermöglicht die lösbare Halterung der Fangbänder im Schadensfall eine besonders leichte Demontage des defekten Fangbandes und somit ein besonders einfaches Ersetzen des defekten Fangbandes ohne Zuhilfenahme eines Reperaturdienstes.By attaching the tether with one of its ends to an already existing retaining bolt, not only is the manufacturing outlay on the refrigerated goods container of the refrigeration device significantly reduced, but at the same time the space constraints inherent in this area of the refrigeration appliance are not additionally reduced and thus also by attaching a further retaining bolt the assembly work is not unnecessarily difficult. In addition, the detachable mounting of the tether allows particularly easy disassembly of the defective tether in the event of damage and thus a particularly simple replacement of the defective tether without the aid of a repair service.

Besonders einfach mit geringem Fertigungsaufwand befestigbar sind die Fangbänder an der Klappe, wenn nach einer letzten bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Gegenstandes der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, daß die lösbare Halterung der Fangbänder an der Klappe durch jeweils ein am Fangband angeordnetes und mit der Klappe verrastbares Halteelement erzeugt ist.The tether straps are particularly easy to attach to the flap if, according to a last preferred embodiment of the object of the invention, it is provided that the releasable mounting of the tether straps on the flap is generated by a retaining element arranged on the tether and which can be latched to the flap.

Die Erfindung ist in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung anhand eines in der Zeichnung vereinfacht dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles erläutert.The invention is explained in the following description with reference to an embodiment shown in simplified form in the drawing.

Fig. 1 zeigt in vereinfachter schematischer Darstellung einen als Standgerät ausgebildeten Haushaltsgefrierschrank 10 mit einer wärmeisolierend ausgebildeten Tür 11 und einem wärmeisolierendem Gehäuse 12, welches eine Außenverkleidung 13, eine durch Aufschäumen erzeugte Wärmeisolationsschicht 14 und eine durch spanlose Formgebung einer Kunststoffplatine erzeugte Innenverkleidung 15 aufweist. Diese ist an den türseitigen Endabschnitten ihrer beiden Seitenwände 16 mit durch Tiefziehen angeformte, annähernd vertikal übereinander angeordneten sacklochartigen Aufnahmen 17 versehen und dient zur Auskleidung eines über die Tür 11 zugänglichen Gefrierraumes 18. Der Gefrierraum 18 ist durch ein Verdampfersystem 19 mit in gleichmäßigen Abständen übereinander angeordneten, im wesentlichen horizontal verlaufenden Verdampferetageren 19 gekühlt. Durch den vertikalen Abstand der Verdampferetageren 19 zueinander ist der Gefrierraum 18 in übereinander angeordnete Kältefächer 21 unterteilt, von denen die tieferliegenden, zur Einlagerung von Gefriergut mit schubladenartigen Aufnahmebehältern 22 ausgestattet sind, während die beiden höherliegenden Kältefächer 21 an ihrer der Tür 11 zugewandten Frontseite durch eine weiter unten genauer erläuterte, um eine horizontale Achse verschwenkbare Klappe verschließbar sind. Die horizontale Verschwenkachse ist im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel durch zwei achsengleich einander gegenüberliegenden Lagerbolzen 23 gebildet, welche mit einem nicht gezeigten Halteteil in den tieferliegenden sacklochartigen Aufnahmen 17 an den beiden Seitenwänden 16 festgesetzt sind. Über den Lagerbolzen 23 sind in den höherliegenden, sacklochartigen Aufnahmen 17 Haltebolzen 24 mit ihrem kraftschlüssig mit den Aufnahmen 17 zusammenwirkenden Halteteil 25 festgesetzt. Zur Begrenzung der Einstecktiefe des Halteteils 25 in den sacklochartigen Aufnahmen 17 weist der Haltebolzen 24 einen Anschlagring 26 auf, an welchen sich ein Lagerabschnitt 27 anschließt, welcher an seinem dem Anschlagring 26 gegenüberliegenden Ende durch einen Haltewulst 28 abgeschlossen ist. Ferner umfaßt der Haltebolzen 24 einen Arretierungsabschnitt 29, welcher zur Halterung einer bereits weiter oben erwähnten, zum Verschließen der oben liegenden Kältefächer 21 dienenden, im wesentlichen schalenförmig ausgebildeten Klappe 30 aus Kunststoffspritzguß vorgesehen sind. Zur Halterung in ihrer vertikalen Verschlußstellung ist die Klappe 30 an ihren Seitenwänden 31 mit randoffen zum Gefrierraum 18 hin ausgebildeten, mit einem Hinterschnitt versehenen Aufnahmen 32 ausgestattet, in welche der Arretierungsabschnitt 29 zur Fixierung der Klappe 30 in ihrer Verschlußposition einzutauchen vermag. Wie bereits erwähnt wurde, ist die Klappe 30 um eine horizontale Drehachse verschwenkbar, welche durch die an den Seitenwänden 16 angeordneten und einander achsengleich gegenüberliegenden Lagerbolzen 23 gebildet ist, welche mit ihrem nicht gezeigten Lagerabschnitt in eine an den Seitenwänden 31 vorgesehene Lageraufnahme 33 einzugreifen vermögen, welche in Form eines sich längs der Seitenwände erstreckenden Langloches ausgebildet ist. Zwischen den Lageraufnahmen 33 und den hinterschnittenen Aufnahmen 32 sind an den Seitenwänden 31 der Klappe 30 einander achsengleich gegenüberliegende Durchgangsbohrungen 34 vorgesehen. Diese dienen zur Aufnahme eines an einem der beiden freien Enden eines Fangbandes 35 vorgesehenen Halteelementes 36, welches mit den Durchgangsbohrungen 34 in Form einer lösbaren Rastverbindung zusammenfügbar ist. Das Halteelement 36 ist einstückig mit dem beispielsweise aus Polyamid im Kunststoffspritzgußvenfahren hergestellten Fangband 35 verbunden, an dessen zweitem freien Ende eine Lageröse 37 vorgesehen ist. Anhand der auf dem Halteteil 25 des Haltebolzens 24 aufgebrachten und anhand des Anschlagringes 26 darauf gehaltenen Lageröse 37 ist jedes der an den Seitenwänden 16 vorgesehenen Fangbänder 35 an der Innenverkleidung 15 ortsfest angeordnet. Die Fangbänder 35, welche in ihrem unbelasteten Ruhezustand eine U-förmige Kontor mit ungleich langen Schenkeln beschreiben, dienen zur Begrenzung des Verschwenkwinkels der Klappe 30, welche durch die Fangbänder 35 an den Seitenwänden 16 in einer zumindest annähernd horizontalen, in strichlierten Linien dargestellten Offenstellung I, in welcher sich die Fangbänder 35 in gestrecktem Zustand befinden, gehalten ist. Die Fangbänder 35 nehmen bei zurückverschwenkter, in vertikaler Verschlußstellung II befindlichen Klappe 30 ihre unbelastete, im wesentlichen U-förmige Herstellungsform ein.1 shows a simplified schematic representation of a household freezer 10 designed as a free-standing appliance with a heat-insulating door 11 and a heat-insulating housing 12 which has an outer cladding 13, a heat insulation layer 14 produced by foaming and an inner cladding 15 produced by chipless shaping of a plastic board. This is provided on the door-side end sections of its two side walls 16 with thermoformed, approximately vertically superimposed blind hole-like receptacles 17 and serves to line a freezer space 18 accessible via the door 11. The freezer space 18 is arranged one above the other by an evaporator system 19 at uniform intervals , essentially horizontal extending evaporator tiers 19 cooled. Due to the vertical distance of the evaporator shelves 19 from one another, the freezer compartment 18 is subdivided into refrigeration compartments 21 arranged one above the other, of which the lower ones are equipped with drawer-like receptacles 22 for storing frozen goods, while the two higher-lying refrigeration compartments 21 on their front side facing the door 11 are separated by one explained in more detail below, flap pivotable about a horizontal axis can be closed. The horizontal pivot axis is formed in the present embodiment by two axially opposite bearing bolts 23, which are fixed with a holding part, not shown, in the deeper blind hole-like receptacles 17 on the two side walls 16. About the bearing pin 23 17 holding bolts 24 are fixed in the higher lying, blind hole-like receptacles with their non-positively cooperating with the receptacles 17 holding part 25. To limit the insertion depth of the holding part 25 in the blind hole-like receptacles 17, the holding bolt 24 has a stop ring 26, to which a bearing section 27 connects, which is closed at its end opposite the stop ring 26 by a holding bead 28. Furthermore, the retaining bolt 24 comprises a locking section 29, which is provided for holding an already shell-shaped flap 30 made of plastic injection molding and used to close the cold compartments 21 located above. To hold it in its vertical closed position, the flap 30 is provided on its side walls 31 with open-ended receptacles 32 which are provided with an undercut and into which the locking section 29 for immersing the flap 30 can dip in its closed position. As already mentioned, the flap 30 can be pivoted about a horizontal axis of rotation which is formed by the bearing bolts 23 which are arranged on the side walls 16 and are opposite one another and which, with their bearing section (not shown), can engage in a bearing receptacle 33 provided on the side walls 31, which is in the form of an elongated hole extending along the side walls. Between the bearing receptacles 33 and the undercut receptacles 32, through-bores 34 are provided on the side walls 31 of the flap 30, which are opposite to each other on the same axis. These serve to receive a holding element 36 which is provided on one of the two free ends of a tether 35 and which can be joined together with the through bores 34 in the form of a releasable latching connection. The holding element 36 is integrally connected to the tether 35, for example made of polyamide in a plastic injection molding process, at the second free strap End a bearing eye 37 is provided. Using the bearing eyelet 37 attached to the holding part 25 of the holding bolt 24 and held thereon by means of the stop ring 26, each of the tether straps 35 provided on the side walls 16 is arranged in a stationary manner on the inner lining 15. The tethers 35, which describe a U-shaped contour with legs of unequal length in their unloaded idle state, serve to limit the pivoting angle of the flap 30, which by the tethers 35 on the side walls 16 in an at least approximately horizontal, open position I shown in dashed lines , in which the tethers 35 are in the stretched state is held. When the flap 30 is pivoted back and in the vertical closed position II, the tether straps 35 assume their unloaded, essentially U-shaped form of manufacture.

Die Fangbänder 35 sind je nach Anbringungsort- an der linken bzw. rechten Seitenwand der Innenverkleidung - als Links- bzw. Rechtsausführung ausgebildet.The tether 35 are designed depending on the location - on the left or right side wall of the inner lining - as a left or right version.
