Definitions
- the present invention relates to a refrigeration device with a compartment divided into several compartments, in particular a refrigerator-freezer combination device or a freezer, in which at an access opening at least one of the compartments, a door is hinged, which separates the compartment from the rest of the interior.
- a refrigeration device is off DE-8903459 U known. With him the door of a freezer compartment is held in a closed position by a snap connection.
- the snap connection of this known refrigeration device comprises a flexible element in the form of a capsule, from which protrudes a ball which can be pressed against the force of a spring housed in the capsule, and a flexible element deforming element in the form of a projection on the freezer compartment door, which pushes the ball when opening and closing the door.
- a recess In order to mount the capsule on the inner container, a recess must be formed on this, in which the capsule can be inserted and in which it finds firm hold.
- a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1 is for example from the DE-A-16 01 094 known.
- Object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator with a divided into several compartments interior space and at least one mounted on one of the compartments door, which is inexpensive to manufacture and easy to assemble.
- a refrigeration device having the features of claim 1.
- the flexible resilient element according to the invention is formed by a wall portion of the housing or the door, can be dispensed with a separate component for the flexible element, and the number of when assembling the Refrigeration required parts is reduced.
- the flexible resilient member is a portion of an inner container of the refrigerator, and preferably, the inner container is in one piece.
- a wall portion can be flexibly yielded by a heat-insulating filling, with which the walls of the housing are filled, is recessed at the flexible resilient wall portion.
- the flexible resilient element is in the section of a wall of the door.
- the deforming element is preferably added in this embodiment as a separate component to the inner container; this makes it possible to form this element from a material which is more resistant to abrasion than the inner container itself.
- the deforming element is in the form of a plug, which is inserted into a recess of the housing, in particular of the inner container of the housing.
- the flexible element is preferably a portion of the wall of the door facing the deforming element. Preferably, then located on a side facing away from the deforming element side of this wall portion, a cavity in which the flexible element resiliently can recede when opening and closing the door.
- a flexible compliant element is easily realized in a boundary between a front and a rear shell, which are each part of the wall of the door.
- Opposing edge portions of the inner and outer shells may define a groove for receiving a sealing profile.
- the cavity is part of such a groove.
- the outer wall comprises a handle piece formed separately from the door leaf, that is, an area on which a user can engage to open or close the door
- the flexible element is also formed on the handle piece. This embodiment is not part of the invention. In this case, if wear of the flexible element makes repair necessary, it is sufficient to merely replace the handle while leaving the remaining parts of the door intact. In addition, this results in the possibility of minimizing fretting, in which the handle is made of a more friction-resistant material than other exterior parts of the door.
- the snap connection is arranged on a side facing away from the pivot axis of the door side of the door.
- the snap connection is placed on a side edge of the door which is crossed by the pivot axis, two snap connections on opposite side flanks would then generally be required for secure latching.
- the flexible element does not necessarily have to directly contact the deforming element.
- a protective body may be mounted in a contact area between the flexible resilient element and the deforming element to minimize frictional engagement on these elements.
- the flexible resilient element may be formed by a hinge of the door itself or arranged on this.
- the in Fig. 1 shown in a perspective front view two-temperature refrigerator 10 comprises a heat-insulating body 12, on which an outer door 11 is hinged about a vertical axis pivotally.
- the interior of the body 12 is divided by a thermally insulating horizontal partition 14 into a normal refrigeration compartment 13 and a freezer compartment 15.
- On the inner container of the body 12 is at the level of the intermediate wall 14, a freezer compartment door 16 pivotally articulated about a horizontal axis, in the figure in open , Horizontal position is shown and in the closed position, the front-side opening of the freezer compartment 15 is substantially airtight.
- Fig.2 shows a schematic section through the freezer compartment door 16 in the vertical, closed position.
- the freezer compartment door 16 is composed of an outer shell 17 facing the outer door 11 and an inner shell 18 facing the interior of the freezer compartment 15, which contact each other in their peripheral areas and enclose an interior which is substantially filled with thermally insulating foam material 19.
- a recessed grip 20 is formed at the upper edge of the outer shell 17, a recessed grip 20 is formed. It is closed at the top by an advanced web 21 of the outer shell 17 and a handle 22, which is like the shells 17, 18 integrally molded from plastic.
- a horizontal leg 23 of the handle 22 is fixed to the web 21, for example by latching or gluing.
- a recess 25 at the top of the horizontal leg 23 is part of a snap connection, by means of which the door leaf 16 can be locked in the vertical position.
- a second part of the detent connection is as in Fig. 3 to see formed by a fixed to the inner container of the body 12 projection 26.
- the projection is part of a plug 27 made of rigid, abrasion-resistant plastic material, of which a Plinth section positively and frictionally engages in a recess 28 which is formed on the upper wall of the inner container of the body 12.
- the projection 26 engages in the recess 25 on the horizontal leg 23 of the handle 22 a.
- a horizontal R and 29 of the outer shell 17 projecting inwardly opposite the web 21 supports the horizontal leg 23 below the recess 25.
- a rim portion 30 of the leg 23 lying to the left of the recess 25 is not supported by the rim 29 that he can yield when opening and closing the door under the pressure of the projection 26 down and is displaced into a groove 31 into which a flexible sealing profile 32 is housed for sealing the gap between the door leaf 16 and frame.
- a narrow gap 33 extends between the horizontal edge 29 of the outer shell and an edge of the inner shell 18. This gap 33 also allows the horizontal edge 29 to yield slightly downward when the projection 26 is the edge portion 30 happened.
- the horizontal leg 23 is attached to the web 21 and the edge 29 of the outer shell 17 over a large area, e.g. by gluing or by clamping to the outer tips of the web 21 and the edge 29. This allows a user to facilitate the release of the snap connection when opening the door, in which he not only on the vertical leg 24 of the handle 22 horizontally forward or pulls to the right in the figure, but at the same time pulls the vertical leg 24 upwards, thereby lowering the edge portion 30.
- Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of the upper portion of a door 16 according to an alternative embodiment. Shown is the upper portion of the outer shell 17 with the concealed part of the handle 22 recessed grip 20.
- an elongated slot 34 is formed, and between the slot 34 and the rear edge of the leg 23 is a flat bead 35 shaped. Below the bead 35 of the leg 23 is not supported. This and the slot 34 facilitate flexing of the bead 35 in the longitudinal direction of the handle when, as the door is opened and closed, the projection 26 slides over the bead 35.
- the slot 34 or the adjacent sloping edge of the bead 35 have here the function of a recess, against which the projection 26 of the frame rests in the closed position of the door.
- the elastic deformation of the door leaf which is required for the change between open and closed position, not limited to the projection 26 facing edge of the door 16.
- a certain contribution to the flexibility can also result from the elastic deformability of the shells 17, 18 themselves.
- FIG. 5 Another way to make the door elastically yielding is in Fig. 5 shown (first embodiment of the invention).
- a blind hole 37 is deep-drawn.
- a cylindrical pivot pin 39 is received positively.
- the diameter of an adjoining outer portion 40 of the blind hole gradually increases toward the side flank 36.
- a projecting from the blind hole 37 free end of the pivot pin 39 is provided to engage rotatably in a recess in a side wall of the inner container of the body 12.
- the opposite lower right corner of the door 16 is constructed in the same way.
- the upper edge region of this door 16 may, for example, as in Fig. 3 be shown shown, but in this embodiment, the edge portion 30 may be rigid.
- Fig. 6 illustrates a second embodiment of the refrigerator according to the invention with reference to a partial section showing an upper edge region of the freezer compartment door 16 and a portion of the ceiling of the inner container 41 opposite this edge region.
- two inclined flanks of protrusions 42 and 43 formed on the upper side of the door 16 and the inner container 41 abut one another.
- Both projections 42, 43 are each integrally formed with the outer wall of the freezer compartment door 16 and the inner container 41.
- the freezer compartment door 16 is completely filled with insulating foam material 19.
- the projection 43 is a flat shell 44 adhered surrounding.
- the shell 44 keeps the space at the back of the projection 43 of insulating foam and thus allows when opening and closing the door 16 a retreat of the projection 43 and surrounding wall portions of the inner container 41 under the pressure of the projection 42nd
- FIG. 7 A further development of this embodiment is in Fig. 7 shown.
- the door 16 is here with the in Fig. 6 shown identical.
- the inner container 41 relative to the projection 42 of the door 16 has a shallow depression 46 into which a buffer body 47 is inserted, which protrusion 43 from Fig. 6 replaced.
- An advantage of this modification is that the trough 46 is easier to produce during deep drawing of the inner container 41 than the projection 43, which makes it difficult to remove the drawing punch from the inner container after deep-drawing.
- the buffer body 47 can be easily exchanged when worn by friction with the projection 42 of the door 16.
- the buffer body 47 may be rigid in itself and pass the entire forced upon opening and closing of the door 16 deformation on the inner container 41, but it may also consist of an elastic material which absorbs a portion of this deformation and thus relieves the inner container 41.
- the inner container 41 is completely flat in the area provided with the shell 44, and a projection which cooperates with the projection 42 of the door 16 is against the inner container 41 over a large area Shell 44 adhered buffer body formed.
- Fig. 8 shows as a third embodiment of the invention, a partial section through a freezer. Its interior is divided by horizontally arranged evaporator 51 into a plurality of compartments 52, which are each closed by a door 53. Since the individual compartments 52 need not be insulated from one another, the doors 53 have only a single wall and no insulating filling. They are each pivotally hinged to the side walls of the inner container. Each door has a horizontal upper flank 54 from which a projection 55 projects upwardly. The projection 55 of the uppermost door 53 acts with a downwardly directed projection 56 on the inner container together.
- the projection 56 of the inner container may be rigid and deformingly act on the projection 55 of the door or conversely, the projection 55 of the door may be rigid and deform the projection 56 of the inner container, as in the embodiments of Figs. 6 and 7.
- the projections 55, 56 may also be flexibly deformable at the same time and act in a deforming manner on the respective other projection.
- the evaporators 51 each carry at their door-side edge a plastic rail 57 which carries on its underside a projection analogous to the projection 56 of the inner container and forms a snap connection together with the projection 55 of the respective underlying door 53.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät mit einem in mehrere Fächer unterteilten Innenraum, insbesondere ein Kühl-Gefrier-Kombinationsgerät oder ein Gefriergerät, bei dem an einer Zugangsöffnung wenigstens eines der Fächer eine Tür angelenkt ist, die das Fach vom restlichen Innenraum trennt. Ein solches Kältegerät ist aus
Die Schnappverbindung dieses bekannten Kältegeräts umfasst ein flexibel nachgiebiges Element in Form einer Kapsel, aus der eine Kugel herausragt, die entgegen der Kraft einer in der Kapsel untergebrachten Feder eindrückbar ist, und ein das flexibel nachgiebige Element verformendes Element in Form eines Vorsprungs an der Gefrierfachtür, der die Kugel beim Öffnen und Schließen der Tür eindrückt. Um die Kapsel am Innenbehälter montieren zu können, muss an diesem eine Vertiefung gebildet werden, in die die Kapsel eingesteckt werden kann und in der sie festen Halt findet.The snap connection of this known refrigeration device comprises a flexible element in the form of a capsule, from which protrudes a ball which can be pressed against the force of a spring housed in the capsule, and a flexible element deforming element in the form of a projection on the freezer compartment door, which pushes the ball when opening and closing the door. In order to mount the capsule on the inner container, a recess must be formed on this, in which the capsule can be inserted and in which it finds firm hold.
Ein Kältegerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist z.B. aus der
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, ein Kältegerät mit einem in mehrere Fächer unterteilten Innenraum und wenigstens einer an einem der Fächer angebrachten Tür zu schaffen, das preiswert herzustellen und leicht zu montieren ist.Object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator with a divided into several compartments interior space and at least one mounted on one of the compartments door, which is inexpensive to manufacture and easy to assemble.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Kältegerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Indem das flexible nachgiebige Element erfindungsgemäß durch einen Wandabschnitt des Gehäuses oder der Tür gebildet ist, kann auf ein eigenes Bauteil für das flexible Element verzichtet werden, und die Zahl der beim Zusammenbau des Kältegeräts benötigten Teile verringert sich.The problem is solved by a refrigeration device having the features of claim 1. By the flexible resilient element according to the invention is formed by a wall portion of the housing or the door, can be dispensed with a separate component for the flexible element, and the number of when assembling the Refrigeration required parts is reduced.
Einer ersten Ausgestaltung zufolge ist das flexible nachgiebige Element ein Abschnitt eines Innenbehälters d es K ältegeräts, und vorzugsweise i st d er Innenbehälter einteilig. Ein solcher Wandabschnitt kann flexibel nachgiebig gemacht werden, indem eine wärmeisolierende Füllung, mit der die Wände des Gehäuses ausgefüllt sind, an dem flexibel nachgiebigen Wandabschnitt ausgespart ist.According to a first aspect, the flexible resilient member is a portion of an inner container of the refrigerator, and preferably, the inner container is in one piece. Such a wall portion can be flexibly yielded by a heat-insulating filling, with which the walls of the housing are filled, is recessed at the flexible resilient wall portion.
Einer zweiten Ausgestaltung zufolge ist das flexible nachgiebige Elemente in Abschnitt einer Wand der Tür.According to a second embodiment, the flexible resilient element is in the section of a wall of the door.
Das verformende Element ist bei dieser Ausgestaltung vorzugsweise als separates Bauteil an den Innenbehälter angefügt; dies erlaubt es, dieses Element aus einem Material zu formen, das gegen Abrieb beständiger ist als der Innenbehälter selbst.The deforming element is preferably added in this embodiment as a separate component to the inner container; this makes it possible to form this element from a material which is more resistant to abrasion than the inner container itself.
Vorzugsweise ist das verformende Element in Form eines Stopfen ausgebildet, der in eine Vertiefung des Gehäuses, insbesondere des Innenbehälters des Gehäuses, eingesetzt ist.Preferably, the deforming element is in the form of a plug, which is inserted into a recess of the housing, in particular of the inner container of the housing.
Das flexibel nachgiebige Element ist vorzugsweise ein dem verformenden Element zugewandter Abschnitt der Wand der Tür. Vorzugsweise befindet sich dann an einer vom verformenden Element abgewandten Seite dieses Wandabschnitts ein Hohlraum, in welchen das flexibel nachgiebige Element beim Öffnen und Schließen der Tür elastisch zurückweichen kann.The flexible element is preferably a portion of the wall of the door facing the deforming element. Preferably, then located on a side facing away from the deforming element side of this wall portion, a cavity in which the flexible element resiliently can recede when opening and closing the door.
Ein flexibel nachgiebiges Element ist leicht in einem Grenzbereich zwischen einer vorderen und einer hinteren Schale realisierbar, die jeweils Teil der Wand der Tür sind.A flexible compliant element is easily realized in a boundary between a front and a rear shell, which are each part of the wall of the door.
Einander gegenüber liegende Randbereiche der inneren und äußeren Schale können eine Nut zum Aufnehmen eines Dichtprofils begrenzen. Vorzugsweise ist der Hohlraum Teil einer solchen Nut.Opposing edge portions of the inner and outer shells may define a groove for receiving a sealing profile. Preferably, the cavity is part of such a groove.
Wenn die Außenwand ein separat vom Türblatt ausgebildetes Griffstück umfasst, das heißt, einen Bereich, an dem ein Benutzer angreifen kann, um die Tür zu öffnen oder zu schließen, so ist bevorzugt, dass an dem Griffstück auch das flexibel nachgiebige Element ausgebildet ist. Diese Ausgestaltung ist nicht Bestandteil der Erfindung. Falls Verschleiß des flexibel nachgiebigen Elements eine Reparatur erforderlich macht, genügt es in diesem Fall, lediglich das Griffstück auszutauschen, während die restlichen Teile der Tür intakt bleiben. Außerdem ergibt sich dadurch die Möglichkeit, Reibverschleiß zu minimieren, in dem das Griffstück aus einem reibungsbeständigeren Material hergestellt ist als andere Außenteile der Tür.If the outer wall comprises a handle piece formed separately from the door leaf, that is, an area on which a user can engage to open or close the door, it is preferred that the flexible element is also formed on the handle piece. This embodiment is not part of the invention. In this case, if wear of the flexible element makes repair necessary, it is sufficient to merely replace the handle while leaving the remaining parts of the door intact. In addition, this results in the possibility of minimizing fretting, in which the handle is made of a more friction-resistant material than other exterior parts of the door.
Vorzugsweise ist die Schnappverbindung an einer von der Schwenkachse der Tür abgewandten Seite der Tür angeordnet. Es wäre zwar auch denkbar, die Schnappverbindung an einer von der Schwenkachse gekreuzten Seitenflanke der Tür zu platzieren, doch wären dann für eine sichere Verrastung im Allgemeinen zwei Schnappverbindungen an gegenüberliegenden Seitenflanken erforderlich.Preferably, the snap connection is arranged on a side facing away from the pivot axis of the door side of the door. Although it would also be conceivable to place the snap connection on a side edge of the door which is crossed by the pivot axis, two snap connections on opposite side flanks would then generally be required for secure latching.
Das flexibel nachgiebige Element muss nicht notwendigerweise das verformende Element unmittelbar berühren. So kann z.B. ein Schutzkörper in einem Kontaktbereich zwischen flexibel nachgiebigem Element und verformendes Element angebracht sein, um Reibverschluss an diesen Elementen zu minieren. Auch kann das flexibel nachgiebige Element durch ein Scharnier der Tür selbst gebildet bzw. an diesem angeordnet sein.The flexible element does not necessarily have to directly contact the deforming element. Thus, e.g. a protective body may be mounted in a contact area between the flexible resilient element and the deforming element to minimize frictional engagement on these elements. Also, the flexible resilient element may be formed by a hinge of the door itself or arranged on this.
