Definitions
- the present invention relates to a refrigerator with a device housing and at least one door, which enclose at least one heat-insulated interior.
- Such refrigerators are usually equipped at their doors with a peripheral magnetic seal that closes the interior largely airtight in the closed state of the door and also holds the door in the closed position by acting between the seal and a door frame on the device housing magnetic force.
- the range of this magnetic force is very short. It can therefore not reliably avoid that the door is not completely coincident, but a gap remains wide open, without this is the refrigeration device from the outside in a conspicuous way to look at.
- a lock as a security device.
- Refrigerators with lock to protect against unauthorized access are known.
- Such a lock generally comprises two elements, a latch member and a welchselmid with the latch part projection, one of which has the door and the other the device housing of the refrigerator as a carrier. But they have the disadvantage that the lock would have to be locked specifically to prevent unintentional Aufspringens by the user.
- a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1 is made FR-A-2 655 369 known.
- the latch member has two opposing inclined surfaces for interacting with the projection.
- the latch member is initially pushed back by sliding one of the inclined surfaces on the projection, while subsequently the force exerted on the latch member on the second inclined surface force drives the door in the direction of complete opening; in a closing movement, the conditions are reversed.
- An unrecognizable by a user opening gap of the door is thus always safely avoided because the door is pressed by the interconnected via a vertex inclined surfaces either in the closed or in the open position.
- Frictional forces between the two elements are minimized when the projection is formed by a roller rotatable about a pin.
- the first element has the housing of the refrigerator and the second element of the door as a carrier.
- a particularly preferred embodiment for built-in refrigerators according to the housing of the first element is mounted on the housing of the refrigerator so that it encloses a bearing angle of the door.
- each door of a multi-door refrigerator can be specially provided with a safety device.
- a simpler solution, however, is that first element to equip with a second latch member for interacting with a projection of the second door.
- the two latch parts can each be movable independently of each other, and the spring exerts in each case oppositely directed forces on the two latch parts.
- Fig. 1 shows in a perspective view of a stationary refrigerator as the first embodiment of the present invention.
- the refrigerator has three interiors, a freezer 1, a refrigerator compartment 2 and a basement compartment 3, which are each closed by doors 4, 5 and 6 respectively.
- first elements 9 of a door safety device are respectively arranged in a gap between two of the doors 4, 5 and 5, 6 corresponding height.
- complementary second elements 10 are respectively mounted on a lower edge of the door 4, an upper or lower edge of the door 5 and an upper edge 11 of the door 6, wherein in the Fig. Only one of the upper edge 11 projecting second element 10 is visible.
- the elements 9, 10 are from the center of the front panel 7 respectively to that side of the refrigerator, in the case of Fig. 1 the right side, offset, on which the hinged doors 4, 5 are struck.
- the elements 9, 10 of the door locking device for the door 6 of the basement compartment, which is not pivotable, but is guided on a pull-out mechanism, could also be mounted centrally on the front panel 7, to exclude tilting of the extension mechanism when opening and closing, or it could in each case a further first and second element 9, 10 may be mounted symmetrically to the one shown on the left side of the front panel 7.
- Fig. 2 shows a horizontal section through the right front corner portion of the device housing 8 at the level of the upper of the two first elements 9 between the doors 4, 5.
- Fig. 3 shows a plastic molding 12, which in Fig. 3 in a section along the plane III-III of Fig. 2 is shown.
- a shaft 13 is inserted, which is fixedly connected to the molding via a wide circumferential rim 15 and thus against tilting due to the Opening and closing the door 5 acting forces is secured.
- a screw 14 is screwed, the head portion forms a pin 16, on which a roller 17 is rotatably supported.
- the shaft 13 could of course also be formed integrally with the molded part 12.
- Pin 16 and roller 17 together form a projection 18 of a second element 10 of the door safety device, which interacts with the first element 9.
- the first element 9 is, as in particular in Fig. 2 to recognize, essentially constructed of a housing 19 whose back is secured by screws 20 on the front side 7 of the refrigeration device housing 8, two in the housing 19 pivotally mounted latch members 21, and a compression spring 22, which within the housing 19 between the latch members 21st is arranged and this apart.
- the door 5 carries two projections 18.
- the projections 18 are each at a first inclined surface 23 of the latch members 21 at.
- the latch members 21 are pushed back into the interior of the housing 19 against the restoring force of the compression spring 22, wherein the rollers 17 each roll on the associated inclined surface 23.
- the projections 18 are in contact with the first inclined surfaces 23, they exert a force in the closing direction on the door 5 by the restoring force of the spring 22.
- the projections 18 finally come into contact with second inclined surfaces 24 of the latch members 21, which face away from the first inclined surfaces 23 and exert a force in the opening direction on the door 5.
- Each latch member 21 is substantially plate-shaped and carries on its top and bottom an elongate web 25, which in the fully open state of the door, when the latch member 21 is no longer in contact with the associated projection 18, against an edge of a slot of the housing 19 abuts from which the two inclined surfaces 23, 24 protrude.
- the web 25 thus ensures that even in the open state of the door, the two latch members 21 can not move further from each other under the influence of the spring 22, as in Fig. 2 shown.
- each latch member 21 Two pins projecting upwardly and downwardly from each latch member 21 define an axis 26 for pivotal movement of the latch members.
- a bearing for the axis 26 is bounded on the one hand by the housing 19, on the other hand by the front side 7. This construction makes it possible to easily assemble the first member 9 by inserting the latch members 21 and the compression spring 22 into the housing 19 from the open rear side thereof; After the housing 19 is mounted with its rear side on the front side 7, an escape of the latch members 21 and the spring 22 is no longer possible.
- first element 9 can serve to secure both doors simultaneously.
- Fig. 4 shows a second embodiment of the invention with reference to a front view of the upper right corner of a built-in refrigerator.
- a part of the front side 37 of the refrigerating device and a door 35 can be seen.
- the door 35 is hinged on the right, an upper bearing angle of the door hinge is hidden behind a housing 38, from which a pivot pin 36 protrudes downward and engages in the door 35.
- the housing 38 is part of a first element 39 of a door safety device, which, in particular the in Fig. 5 shown section along the line VV Fig. 4 shows, largely analogous to the first element of Figs. 2 and 3 is constructed.
- the first element 39 comprises a single latch member 51, which is pressed by a compression spring 52 into a position in which it protrudes from a window of the housing 38.
- the compression spring 52 is supported with its end facing away from the latch part 51 on an inner wall 57 of the housing 38.
- the structure of the second element 40 of the door-locking device does not differ from that with reference to FIGS Figs. 2 and 3 Also, the operation of the two inclined surfaces 53, 54 of the latch member 51 is the same as described above.
- a bearing bracket 58 for the rotational suspension of the door 35 is housed in the housing 38.
- An integrally formed on the bearing bracket mounting bracket 59 is secured by two screws 60 on the front side 37.
- the housing 38 covers the fastening tab 59.
- Fig. 6 shows a section along the plane VV Fig. 4 in which the door is partially open.
- the second member 40 contacts the apex of the latch member 51 at the transition between its first and second inclined surfaces 53, 54. This is the position of maximum compression of the compression spring 52.
- the second member rolls on the second inclined surface 54 and the door is pushed open; if it is minimally closed further from this position, the second element 40 rolls on the first inclined surface 53, and the door closes.
Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät mit einem Gerätegehäuse und wenigstens einer Tür, die wenigstens einen wärmeisolierten Innenraum umschließen. Derartige Kältegeräte sind üblicherweise an ihren Türen mit einer umlaufenden Magnetdichtung ausgestattet, die im geschlossenen Zustand der Tür den Innenraum weitgehend luftdicht verschließt und darüber hinaus durch eine zwischen der Dichtung und einem Türrahmen am Gerätegehäuse wirkende Magnetkraft die Tür in geschlossener Stellung hält. Die Reichweite dieser Magnetkraft ist allerdings sehr kurz. Es läßt sich daher nicht zuverlässig vermeiden, dass die Tür nicht vollständig zufällt, sondern einen Spalt breit offen stehen bleibt, ohne dass dies dem Kältegerät von außen in auffälliger Weise anzusehen ist.The present invention relates to a refrigerator with a device housing and at least one door, which enclose at least one heat-insulated interior. Such refrigerators are usually equipped at their doors with a peripheral magnetic seal that closes the interior largely airtight in the closed state of the door and also holds the door in the closed position by acting between the seal and a door frame on the device housing magnetic force. The range of this magnetic force is very short. It can therefore not reliably avoid that the door is not completely coincident, but a gap remains wide open, without this is the refrigeration device from the outside in a conspicuous way to look at.
Besonders störend ist dieses Problem bei Kältegeräten mit zwei oder mehr Türen, die nicht luftdicht voneinander getrennte Innenräume verschließen. Bei diesen Innenräumen kann es sich z.B. um ein Gefrierfach und ein Kühlfach eines Kombinations-Kältegeräts handeln, oder auch um ein im Kühlfach und ein sogenanntes Kellerfach, das auf einer höheren Temperatur als das Kühlfach gehalten wird und eventuell lediglich durch Luftaustausch mit dem Kühlfach gekühlt wird. Wenn nämlich bei einem solchen Gerät eine Tür zugeschlagen wird, kann der daraus resultierende Druckstoß dazu führen, dass die jeweils andere Tür einen geringen, kaum sichtbaren Spalt, aufspringt, woraus ein vorzeitiges übermässiges Vereisen des Verdampfers und somit ggf. ein Geräteausfall resultiert. Um dies zu verhindern, ist eine Sicherungseinrichtung notwendig.This problem is particularly disturbing in refrigerators with two or more doors that close not airtight separate interiors. These indoor spaces may be e.g. to act a freezer and a refrigerated compartment of a combination refrigerator, or even in the refrigerator compartment and a so-called basement compartment, which is kept at a higher temperature than the refrigeration compartment and possibly cooled only by air exchange with the refrigerator compartment. Namely, if a door is slammed in such a device, the resulting surge can cause the other door a small, barely visible gap, jumps, resulting in premature excessive icing of the evaporator and thus possibly a device failure results. To prevent this, a safety device is necessary.
Hierbei, wäre es denkbar, als Sicherungseinrichtung ein Schloss vorzusehen. Kältegeräte mit Schloss zur Sicherung gegen ungefugten Zugriff sind bekannt. Ein solches Schloss umfasst im allgemeinen zwei Elemente, ein Riegelteil und einen mit dem Riegelteil welchselwirkenden Vorsprung, von denen eines die Tür und das andere das Gerätegehäuse des Kältegeräts als Träger hat. Sie haben aber den Nachteil, dass das Schloss zum Verhindern eines unbeabsichtigten Aufspringens vom Benutzer gezielt verriegelt werden müsste.In this case, it would be conceivable to provide a lock as a security device. Refrigerators with lock to protect against unauthorized access are known. Such a lock generally comprises two elements, a latch member and a welchselwirkenden with the latch part projection, one of which has the door and the other the device housing of the refrigerator as a carrier. But they have the disadvantage that the lock would have to be locked specifically to prevent unintentional Aufspringens by the user.
Ein Kältegerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 ist aus
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, durch einfache konstruktive Maßnahmen ein Kältegerät mit einer verbesserten Türsicherungseinrichtung zu schaffen.Based on this prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide by simple constructive measures, a refrigeration device with an improved door safety device.
Die Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale von Anspruch 1 gelöst. Diese Merkmale ermöglichen eine einfache Montage des ersten Elements.The object is solved by the features of claim 1. These features allow for easy assembly of the first element.
Vorzugsweise weist das Riegelteil zwei voneinander abgewandte Schrägflächen zum Wechselwirken mit dem Vorsprung auf. Beim Öffnen der Tür wird so zunächst das Riegelteil durch Gleiten einer der Schrägflächen am Vorsprung zurückgedrängt, während anschließend die über das Riegelteil auf die zweite Schrägfläche ausgeübte Kraft die Tür in Richtung vollständiger Öffnung treibt; bei einer Schließbewegung sind die Verhältnisse umgekehrt. Ein von einem Benutzer nicht erkennbarer Öffnungsspalt der Tür ist damit stets sicher vermieden, da die Tür durch die über einen Scheitel miteinander verbundene Schrägflächen entweder in Schließ- oder in Öffnungsstellung gedrückt wird.Preferably, the latch member has two opposing inclined surfaces for interacting with the projection. When the door is opened, the latch member is initially pushed back by sliding one of the inclined surfaces on the projection, while subsequently the force exerted on the latch member on the second inclined surface force drives the door in the direction of complete opening; in a closing movement, the conditions are reversed. An unrecognizable by a user opening gap of the door is thus always safely avoided because the door is pressed by the interconnected via a vertex inclined surfaces either in the closed or in the open position.
Reibungskräfte zwischen den zwei Elementen werden gering gehalten, wenn der Vorsprung durch eine um einen Zapfen drehbare Rolle gebildet ist.Frictional forces between the two elements are minimized when the projection is formed by a roller rotatable about a pin.
Vorzugsweise hat das erste Element das Gehäuse des Kältegeräts und das zweite Element dessen Tür als Träger.Preferably, the first element has the housing of the refrigerator and the second element of the door as a carrier.
Einer besonders für Einbau-Kältegeräte bevorzugten Ausgestaltung zufolge ist das Gehäuse des ersten Elements am Gehäuse des Kältegeräts so montiert, dass es einen Lagerwinkel der Tür umschließt.A particularly preferred embodiment for built-in refrigerators according to the housing of the first element is mounted on the housing of the refrigerator so that it encloses a bearing angle of the door.
Selbstverständlich kann jede Tür eines mehrtürigen Kältegeräts eigens mit einer Sicherungseinrichtung versehen sein. Eine einfachere Lösung ist jedoch, dass erste Element mit einem zweiten Riegelteil zum Wechselwirken mit einem Vorsprung der zweiten Tür auszurüsten.Of course, each door of a multi-door refrigerator can be specially provided with a safety device. A simpler solution, however, is that first element to equip with a second latch member for interacting with a projection of the second door.
In diesem Fall genügt eine einzige Feder, um eine Rückstellkraft auf beide Riegelteile auszuüben.In this case, a single spring is sufficient to exert a restoring force on both latch parts.
Dabei können die zwei Riegelteile jeweils unabhängig von einander beweglich sein, und die Feder übt jeweils entgegengesetzt gerichtete Kräfte auf die zwei Riegelteile aus.In this case, the two latch parts can each be movable independently of each other, and the spring exerts in each case oppositely directed forces on the two latch parts.
