Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Kühlgutbehälter für ein Kältegerät und ein mit einem solchen Behälter ausgestattetes Kältegerät.The present invention relates to a refrigerated goods container for a refrigeration device and a refrigerator equipped with such a container.

Kühlgutbehälter, insbesondere für Haushaltskältegeräte wie Kühlschränke und Gefrierschränke, werden häufig aus Kunststoff-Flachmaterial einteilig durch Formziehen hergestellt. Um eine gute Entformbarkeit der Behälter zu gewährleisten, ist es notwendig, deren einander zugewandten Wänden eine Entformungschräge zu verleihen, d.h. die Wände verlaufen nicht exakt parallel, sondern sie weisen zu der offenen Vorderseite des Kühlgutbehälters hin eine geringfügige Divergenz auf. Werden in einem solchen Kühlgutbehälter Auszüge eingebaut, so führt die Nichtparallelität der Seitenwände zu Problemen. An den Seitenwänden montierte Führungsschienen müssten nämlich nicht nur eine Bewegung eines in den Schienen geführten Auszugs in Längsrichtung der Schienen, sondern in geringerem Umfang auch quer dazu zulassen. Das hierfür erforderliche Führungsspiel steht jedoch einer exakten und leichtgängigen Führung der Schienen entgegen.Refrigerated goods, especially for household refrigerators such as refrigerators and freezers, are often made of plastic sheet material in one piece by forming. In order to ensure a good releasability of the container, it is necessary to give their facing walls a demolding slope, i. the walls are not exactly parallel, but they have a slight divergence towards the open front of the refrigerated goods container. If extracts are installed in such a refrigerated goods container, the non-parallelism of the side walls leads to problems. In fact, guide rails mounted on the side walls would not only have to permit movement of an extension guided in the rails in the longitudinal direction of the rails, but to a lesser extent also transversely thereto. However, the guide game required for this purpose precludes an exact and smooth guiding of the rails.

Um dieses Problem zu vermeiden, sind bei herkömmlichen Kältegeräten die Seitenwände des Kühlgutbehälters in Bereichen, in denen ein Auszug montiert werden soll, mit einer sogenannten 0°-Entformungsschräge versehen. D.h. in diesem Bereich verlaufen die Seitenwände exakt parallel.In order to avoid this problem, in conventional refrigeration devices, the side walls of the refrigerated goods in areas where an extract is to be mounted, provided with a so-called 0 ° Entformungsschräge. That In this area, the side walls are exactly parallel.

Die Herstellung exakt paralleler Seitenwände ist jedoch mit einem erheblichen Zusatzaufwand bei der Formung verbunden. Während nämlich ein Kühlgutbehälter mit einer allseitigen Entformungsschräge mit einfach aufgebauten, lediglich in einer Hauptformrichtung vor und zurück beweglichen Formwerkzeugen produziert werden kann, sind für die Herstellung von zu dieser Hauptformrichtung parallelen Seitenwänden mehrteilige Formwerkzeuge mit Schiebern erforderlich, die in einer anderen Richtung als der Hauptformrichtung beweglich sein müssen.However, the production of exactly parallel side walls is associated with a considerable additional effort in the molding. Namely, while a refrigerated goods container having an all-round draft angle can be produced with simply constructed molds movable back and forth in a main forming direction, multi-part molds with sliders movable in a direction other than the main forming direction are required for the production of side walls parallel to this main forming direction have to be.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist daher, einen Kühlgutbehälter und ein Kältegerät anzugeben, die mit einfachen und preiswerten Werkzeugen herstellbar sind und die dennoch eine exakte Führung eines Auszugs in dem Kühlgutbehälter erlauben.The object of the present invention is therefore to specify a refrigerated goods container and a refrigeration device which can be produced with simple and inexpensive tools and which nevertheless permit exact guidance of an extract in the refrigerated goods container.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch einen Kühlgutbehälter nach Anspruch 1 und ein Kältegerät nach Anspruch 9.The object is achieved by a refrigerated goods container according to claim 1 and a refrigerating appliance according to claim 9.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass von den zwei Führungsschienen eines Schienenpaares, die zum Führen eines Kühlgutbehälters benötigt werden, wenigstens eine an einer der Seitenwände über ein Ausgleichselement unter einem spitzen Winkel zu der Seitenwand montiert ist, der die Divergenz der Seitenwände ausgleicht und so festgelegt ist, dass die Schienen des Paares parallel verlaufen. Vorzugsweise weisen beide Schienen eines Paars Ausgleichselemente auf, die spiegelsymmetrisch zueinander sind, so dass jedes Ausgleichselement die Hälfte des Divergenzwinkels ausgleicht.According to the invention, of the two guide rails of a rail pair required for guiding a refrigerated goods container, at least one is mounted on one of the side walls via an equalizing element at an acute angle to the side wall, which compensates for the divergence of the side walls and is thus fixed; that the rails of the pair are parallel. Preferably, both rails of a pair of compensating elements, which are mirror-symmetrical to each other, so that each compensating element compensates for half of the divergence angle.

Vorzugsweise ist das Ausgleichselement einteilig an die Schiene angeformt. Dies erfordert nur einen geringen Mehraufwand bei der Fertigung der Schienen, und die Montage der Schienen an einer Seitenwand kann in der gleichen Weise erfolgen wie in herkömmlicher Weise an Wänden mit 0°-Entformungsschräge.Preferably, the compensation element is integrally formed on the rail. This requires little overhead in the manufacture of the rails and the mounting of the rails to a side wall can be done in the same way as conventionally on walls with 0 ° draft.

Das Ausgleichselement kann insbesondere die Form eines Keils haben, der sich im wesentlichen über die gesamte Länge der Schiene erstreckt; denkbar ist aber auch, es als örtlichen Vorsprung in die Nähe eines Endes der Schiene auszubilden.In particular, the compensating element may be in the form of a wedge which extends substantially the entire length of the rail; But it is also conceivable to train it as a local projection near the end of the rail.

Die Schiene kann zweckmäßigerweise einen C-förmigen Querschnitt mit einem oberen und einem unteren Schenkel und einem die Schenkel verbindenden Mittelstück haben; eine solche Schienenform ist insbesondere für Rollenführungen geeignet. In einem solchen Fall ist das Ausgleichselement vorzugsweise in dem Mittelstück durch Prägen geformt.The rail may conveniently have a C-shaped cross-section with an upper and a lower leg and a middle piece connecting the legs; such a rail shape is particularly suitable for roller guides. In such a case, the compensating element is preferably formed in the center piece by embossing.

Fig. 1 zeigt im Schnitt den unteren Bereich eines Kältegeräts, bei dem es sich z.B. um ein Gefrierfach oder ein Kellerfach eines Kombinations-Kältegerätes handeln kann. Das Kältegerät umfasst ein wärmeisolierendes Gehäuse 1 mit einer offenen, durch eine Tür 2 verschließbaren Vorderseite. Das Gehäuse ist aufgebaut aus einem einteilig aus Kunststoff gezogenen Kühlgutbehälter 3, der die Innenwand des Kühlraums bildet, einer wärmeisolierenden Schicht 4 aus Schaummaterial, und einer äußeren Hülle 5 aus Blech. Bedingt durch die Herstellungstechnik der Kühlgutbehälters 3 sind dessen Wandflächen, d.h. Decke 6 und Boden 7 bzw. die Seitenwände 8, zur Vorderseite des Gehäuses bzw. der Tür 2 hin mit einem Winkel von 1 bis 2° geringfügig divergent. Fig. 1 shows in section the lower portion of a refrigerator, which may be, for example, a freezer compartment or basement compartment of a combination refrigerator. The refrigeration device comprises a heat-insulating housing 1 with an open, closable by a door 2 front. The housing is constructed of a refrigerated goods container 3, which is made of plastic in one piece and forms the inner wall of the cooling space, a heat-insulating layer 4 of foam material, and an outer shell 5 of sheet metal. Due to the manufacturing technology of the refrigerated goods 3 whose wall surfaces, ie ceiling 6 and bottom 7 and the side walls 8, to the front of the housing or the door 2 out with an angle of 1 to 2 ° slightly divergent.

An den Seitenwänden 8 sind bei diesem Beispiel insgesamt drei Sätze von Führungsschienen 9 in unterschiedlichen Höhen einander gegenüberliegend montiert und wirken mit komplementären geführten Schienen 10 zusammen, die jeweils an Auszugkästen 11 montiert sind, so dass diese bequem aus dem Kühlgutbehälter 3 herausgezogen bzw. hineingeschoben werden können. Die Seitenwände 8 sind rippenfrei, dies erlaubt die Montage der Führungsschienen 9 in beliebigen Höhen an der Seitenwand. Ein einziges Modell von Kühlgutbehälter kann daher in einer Mehrzahl von Kältegerätemodellen zum Einsatz kommen, die unterschiedliche Fachaufteilungen bzw. Auszüge unterschiedlicher Zahl und/oder Größen aufweisen.On the side walls 8 in this example a total of three sets of guide rails 9 are mounted opposite each other at different levels and cooperate with complementary guided rails 10, which are each mounted on pull-out boxes 11, so that they are conveniently pulled out of the refrigerated goods 3 or pushed can. The side walls 8 are rib-free, this allows the mounting of the guide rails 9 at any height on the side wall. A single model of refrigerated goods containers can therefore be used in a plurality of refrigeration appliance models, which have different compartment divisions or extracts of different numbers and / or sizes.

Eine Führungsschiene 9 und die ihr zugeordnete geführte Schiene 10 des Auszugkastens 11 sind in Fig. 2 jeweils in Seitenansichten voneinander getrennt, in Fig. 3 in einer Draufsicht im zusammengefügten Zustand und in Figs. 4, 5 jeweils im Schnitt entlang der Linien IV-IV und V-V aus Fig. 3 gezeigt.A guide rail 9 and its associated guide rail 10 of the pull-out box 11 are in Fig. 2 each separated in side views, in Fig. 3 in a plan view in the assembled state and in Figs. 4, 5 in each case in section along the lines IV-IV and VV Fig. 3 shown.

Beide Schienen 9, 10 sind langgestreckte Profilteile aus Metall mit einem im wesentlichen C-förmigen Querschnitt mit einem oberen Schenkel 12, 13, einem unteren Schenkel 14, 15 und einen die Schenkel verbindenden Mittelstück 16, 17. Das Mittelstück 17 der Führungsschiene 9 trägt an seinem der Tür 2 zugewandten Ende eine Rolle 18, die im zusammengefügten Zustand den oberen Schenkel 12 der geführten Schiene abstützt; die geführte Schiene 10 trägt an dem von der Tür 2 abgewandten Ende ihres Mittelstücks 16 eine Rolle 19, die je nach dem, wie weit der Auszugkasten 11, an dem die Schiene 10 montiert ist, ausgezogen ist, sich entweder auf dem unteren Schenkel 15 oder unter dem oberen Schenkel 13 der Führungsschiene 9 abstützt. In dem Mittelstück 17 der Führungsschiene 9 ist ein U-förmiger Kanal 20 ausgeformt, dessen Tiefe, wie anhand der zwei Schnitte 4 und 5 zu erkennen ist, vom türfernen Ende 21 der Führungsschiene 9 zum türnahen Ende 22 zunimmt. Dieser Kanal 20 bildet ein Ausgleichselement, dessen Tiefenzunahme über die Länge der Führungs9 schiene hinweg die Divergenz der Seitenwände 8 des Kühlgutbehälters 3 ausgleicht und eine exakt parallele Orientierung der Schenkel 13, 15 zweier gegenüberliegender, einem gleichen Auszug zugeordneter Führungsschienen 9 gewährleistet.Both rails 9, 10 are elongated profile parts made of metal having a substantially C-shaped cross section with an upper leg 12, 13, a lower leg 14, 15 and a leg connecting the center piece 16, 17. The middle piece 17 of the guide rail 9 contributes its door 2 end facing a roller 18 which supports the upper leg 12 of the guided rail in the assembled state; the guided rail 10 carries at the end facing away from the door 2 of its center piece 16 a roller 19 which, depending on how far the drawer 11, on which the rail 10 is mounted, is extended, either on the lower leg 15 or supported under the upper leg 13 of the guide rail 9. In the center piece 17 of the guide rail 9, a U-shaped channel 20 is formed, the depth of which, as can be seen from the two sections 4 and 5, from the remote door end 21 of the guide rail 9 to the near-door end 22 increases. This channel 20 forms a compensating element, the increase in depth over the length of Führungs9 rail across the divergence of the side walls 8 of the refrigerated goods 3 compensates and exactly parallel orientation of the legs 13, 15 of two opposite, a same extract assigned guide rails 9 guaranteed.

Am Mittelstück 17 sind am Boden des Kanals 20 zwei Haken, ein horizontaler Haken 23 und ein vertikaler 24, freigestanzt. Mit Hilfe dieser Haken ist die Führungsschiene 9 unmittelbar in (nicht dargestellten) Öffnungen der Seitenwand 8 des Kühlgutbehälters 3 verankerbar, ohne dass hierfür noch weitere Verbindungsteile erforderlich sind. Durch Anbringen dieser Öffnungen in unterschiedlichen Höhen der Seitenwand kann ein Kühlgutbehälter 3 leicht an seine Verwendung in unterschiedlichen Kältegerätemodellen angepasst werden, die sich z.B. in Zahl, Anordnung und Größe der Auszüge unterscheiden.At the center piece 17 20 two hooks, a horizontal hook 23 and a vertical 24, are punched free at the bottom of the channel. With the help of these hooks, the guide rail 9 can be anchored directly in (not shown) openings of the side wall 8 of the refrigerated goods 3, without the need for further connecting parts are required. By mounting these openings at different heights of the sidewall, a refrigerated goods container 3 can be easily adapted for use in different refrigerator models, e.g. differ in number, arrangement and size of the extracts.

Fig. 6 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf eine Anordnung von Führungsschiene und geführter Schiene gemäß einer zweiten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung. Die geführte Schiene 10 ist identisch mit der in Fig. 2 gezeigten; auch die Querschnitte entlang der Linien IV-IV undV-V sind die gleichen wie bei der zuvor beschriebenen Ausgestaltung. Der Unterschied liegt darin, dass in Fig. 6 das Ausgleichselement nicht durch einen Kanal mit von einem Ende der Führungsschiene zum anderen progressiv zunehmender Tiefe gebildet ist, sondern dass die Tiefe des Kanals 20 auf dem überwiegenden Teil der Länge der Führungsschiene 9 der gleiche bleibt wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt, und dass lediglich im Bereich des türnahen Endes 22 ein lokaler Vorsprung 25 ausgebildet ist, dessen der Seitenwand 8 zugewandte, den vertikalen Befestigungshaken 24 tragende Aussenseite einen größeren Abstand von den die Rolle 19 der geführten Schiene 10 führenden Schenkeln 13, 15 der Führungsschiene 9 hat als die Aussenfläche in der Umgebung des horizontalen Hakens 23. Fig. 6 shows a plan view of an arrangement of guide rail and guided rail according to a second embodiment of the invention. The guided rail 10 is identical to that in FIG Fig. 2 shown; also, the cross sections along lines IV-IV and V-V are the same as in the previously described embodiment. The difference is in that in Fig. 6 the compensating element is not formed by a channel having a progressively increasing depth from one end of the guide rail to the other but that the depth of the channel 20 remains the same over most of the length of the guide rail 9 as in FIG Fig. 4 shown, and that only in the region of the near-door end 22, a local projection 25 is formed, the side wall 8 facing the vertical mounting hook 24 outer side carrying a greater distance from the rollers 19 of the guided rail 10 leading legs 13, 15 of the guide rail. 9 has as the outer surface in the vicinity of the horizontal hook 23.

Selbstverständlich gibt es noch eine Vielzahl anderer Ausführungsmöglichkeiten der vorliegenden Erfindung neben den zwei hier beschriebenen. So muss das Ausgleichselement nicht etwa wie der Kanal 20 oder der Vorsprung 25 notwendigerweise mit der Führungsschiene einteilig sein; statt dessen könnte auch ein an der Führungsschiene befestigter Ausgleichskörper zum Einsatz kommen, der nach der Montage zwischen Führungsschiene und Seitenwand zu liegen kommt. Ein solches Ausgleichselement könnte auch nachträglich zwischen die provisorisch montierte Führungsschiene und die Seitenwand im Bereich des türnahen Hakens 24 eingeschoben werden, um auf diese Weise die Seitenwand zwischen dem durch eine Öffnung der Wand hindurchgreifenden Haken 24 und dem Ausgleichselement fest einzuklemmen.Of course, there are a variety of other embodiments of the present invention besides the two described herein. Thus, the compensation element does not necessarily have to be in one piece with the guide rail, such as the channel 20 or the projection 25; instead, a compensating body fastened to the guide rail could also be used, which comes to rest between the guide rail and the side wall after assembly. Such a compensating element could also be subsequently inserted between the provisionally mounted guide rail and the side wall in the region of the hook 24 close to the door, in this way firmly clamp the side wall between the hook 24 passing through an opening of the wall and the compensating element.
