Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Einbau-Kältegerät für den Einbau in eine Möbelnische, mit einem Korpus und einer Tür, die einen thermisch isolierten Innenraum umschließen.The present invention relates to a built-in refrigeration device for installation in a furniture recess, with a body and a door, which enclose a thermally insulated interior.

Üblicherweise ist bei derartigen Einbau-Kältegeräten, wenn sie in eine Möbelnische eingebaut sind, die Tür durch eine nachträglich montierte Dekorplatte verdeckt, die in ihrem Erscheinungsbild an die Türen benachbarter Schrankelemente von Einbaumöbeln einer Küchenzeile angepasst ist und meist aus dem gleichen Material wie diese gefertigt ist, so dass für einen unkundigen Benutzer von außen nicht erkennbar ist, an welcher Stelle in einer mehrtürigen Schrankwand das Kältegerät angeordnet ist.Typically, in such built-in refrigerators, when installed in a furniture niche, the door is covered by a subsequently mounted decorative plate, which is adapted in appearance to the doors of adjacent cabinet elements of built-in furniture of a kitchenette and is usually made of the same material as this , so that it is not apparent to an unclear user from the outside, at which point in a multi-door cabinet wall, the refrigerator is located.

Solch ein Einbau-Kältergerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspuchs 1 ist in Dokument GB 2 052 249 A gezeigt.Such a built-in refrigerating appliance according to the preamble of Anspuchs 1 is in document GB 2 052 249 A shown.

In Dokument US 6 079 216 A ist ein Kühlschrank offenbart, der sich durch eine Gebäudeaußenwand erstreckt. Dieser Kühlschrank weist neben seiner ersten Tür, die vom Gebäudeinneren zugänglich ist, noch eine gegenüberliegende zweite Tür auf, die einen zusätzlichen Zugriff vom Gebäudeäußeren aus erlaubt.In document US Pat. No. 6,079,216 discloses a refrigerator that extends through a building exterior wall. In addition to its first door, which is accessible from the inside of the building, this refrigerator also has an opposite second door which allows additional access from the outside of the building.

Ein weiteres Problem ist, dass bei einem Einbaugerät im Vergleich zu einem Tischgerät die Raumausnutzung vergleichsweise ineffizient ist. Das Bruttovolumen des Einbaugeräts kann nicht größer sein als das Volumen der Möbelnische, in der es montiert ist. Dieses letztere Volumen kann jedoch nicht einmal komplett ausgenutzt werden, denn um das Gerät montieren zu können, müssen alle Abmessungen seines Gehäuses etwas kleiner sein als die entsprechenden Abmessungen der Möbelnische. Zur Verdeutlichung wird auf die beifügte Fig. 1 verwiesen, die ein herkömmliches Einbau-Kältegerät in einer Möbelnische zeigt.Another problem is that in a built-in device compared to a tabletop device, the space utilization is relatively inefficient. The gross volume of the built-in appliance can not be greater than the volume of the furniture niche in which it is mounted. However, this latter volume can not even be fully exploited, because in order to mount the device, all dimensions of its housing must be slightly smaller than the corresponding dimensions of the furniture niche. For clarification is attached to the Fig. 1 referenced, which shows a conventional built-in refrigerator in a furniture niche.

Die durch Seitenwände 1 und eine Rückwand 2 begrenzte Möbelnische hat eine vordere Kante 3, an der die Dekorplatte 4 mit Hilfe eines Scharniers 5 gelenkig befestigt ist. Das Kältegerät, im Wesentlichen aufgebaut aus einem Korpus 6 und einer Tür 7, darf über die vordere Kante 3 nicht vorspringen, da anderenfalls die Dekorplatte 4 nicht die in der Figur gestrichelt dargestellte geschlossene Stellung einnehmen kann. Die Tür 7 ist über ein eigenes Scharnier 8 mit dem Korpus 6 verbunden. Um zu erreichen, dass sich auch die Tür 7 öffnet, wenn ein Benutzer die Dekorplatte 4 in die durchgezogen dargestellte offene Stellung schwenkt, ist von Dekorplatte 4 und Tür 7 eine mit einer horizontal orientierten Schiene und die andere mit einem entlang der Schiene verschiebbaren Gleiter 9 versehen, der die Schiene umgreift und eine Zugkraft auf die Tür 7 überträgt, eine horizontale Verschiebung von Dekorplatte 4 und Tür 7 während des Schwenkens aber zulässt.The limited by side walls 1 and a rear wall 2 furniture tables has a front edge 3, on which the decorative plate 4 is hinged by means of a hinge 5. The refrigerator, essentially constructed of a body 6 and a door 7, must not project beyond the front edge 3, since otherwise the decorative plate 4 does not in the Figure can take dashed lines shown closed position. The door 7 is connected via a separate hinge 8 with the body 6. In order to achieve that the door 7 also opens when a user pivots the decorative panel 4 into the open position shown in solid lines, the decorative panel 4 and the door 7 are one with a horizontally oriented rail and the other with a slider 9 which can be displaced along the rail provided, which engages around the rail and transmits a tensile force on the door 7, a horizontal displacement of the decorative plate 4 and door 7 during pivoting but allows.

Eine Aufgabe der Erfindung ist, ein Einbau-Kältegerät zu schaffen, dessen Einbauort in einer Möbelfront von außen unmittelbar erkennbar ist. Eine andere Aufgabe ist, ein Einbau-Kältegerät zuschaffen, bei ohne Abstriche an der Qualität der Isolation ein großes Volumen des Innenraums realisierbar ist.An object of the invention is to provide a built-in refrigeration device, the installation site in a furniture front from the outside is directly visible. Another object is to provide a built-in refrigeration device, without sacrificing the quality of the insulation, a large volume of the interior is feasible.

Beide Aufgaben werden gelöst durch ein Einbau-Kältegerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.Both objects are achieved by a built-in refrigerating appliance with the features of claim 1.

In dem zugelassen wird, dass in einer ordnungsgemäßen Einbaustellung des Kältegeräts in der Möbelnische die Tür über die Vorderkante der Möbelnische vorspringt, wird zum einen erreicht, dass die die Tür des Kältegeräts verdeckende Dekorplatte weiter vorsteht als die Türen von zur Möbelnische des Kältegeräts benachbarten Schrankelementen. Dadurch ist die Dekorplatte des Kältegeräts, auch wenn sie stilistisch an die benachbarten Schranktüren angeglichen ist, durch ihre vorstehende Stellung sofort zu erkennen. Außerdem erlaubt es die vorspringende Tür, den Innenraum des Kältegeräts gegenüber vergleichbaren herkömmlichen Modellen nach vorne hin auszudenen, ohne dass dies notwendigerweise eine Verringerung der Dicke der Isolierschicht in der Tür mit sich brächte.In that it is allowed that in a proper installation position of the refrigerator in the furniture the door over the front edge of the furniture table projecting, on the one hand ensures that the door of the refrigerator concealing decorative plate protrudes further than the doors of the furniture of the refrigerator adjacent cabinet elements. As a result, the decorative plate of the refrigerator, even if it is stylistically aligned with the adjacent cabinet doors, immediately recognizable by their prominent position. In addition, the protruding door allows the interior of the refrigeration device to end up facing comparable conventional models, without this necessarily entailing a reduction in the thickness of the insulating layer in the door.

Vorzugsweise bleibt der Korpus des Einbau-Kältegeräts mit seiner Frontseite in der ordnungsgemäßen Einbaustellung hinter der Vorderkante der Möbelnische zurück. D.h., vorzugsweise unterscheidet sich das Einbau-Kältegerät von einem herkömmlichen lediglich durch seine Tür, nämlich dadurch, dass der an ihrer Innenseite gebildete Aufnahmeraum bei gleicher Isolationsstärke der Tür deutlich tiefer ausgebildet ist. Ein gleiches Modell von Korpus kann für ein herkömmliches Einbau-Kältegerät genau so wie für ein erfindungsgemäßes verwendet werden. Dies vereinfacht die Entwicklung und ermöglicht eine rationelle Fertigung.Preferably, the body of the built-in refrigerator remains with its front side in the proper installed position behind the front edge of the furniture back. That is, preferably, the built-in refrigerator differs from a conventional only by its door, namely the fact that the receiving space formed on its inner side is formed significantly deeper with the same insulation strength of the door. A similar model of body can for a conventional built-in refrigerator exactly as used for an inventive. This simplifies development and enables rational production.

Erfindungsgemäß ist der Vorsprung der Tür so groß, dass auch der Innenraum (der sich in einer Aussparung der Tür hinein erstrecken kann) über die Vorderkante der Möbelnische vorspringt.According to the invention, the projection of the door is so large that also the interior (which can extend in a recess of the door) projects over the front edge of the furniture recess.

Wenn die Tür über die Vorderkante der Möbelnische vorspringt, der Korpus jedoch nicht, so bedeutet dies, dass die Tiefe der Tür größer sein muss als bei herkömmlichen Kältegeräten. Wenn in einem solchen Fall Teile der Tür weit über die Schwenkachse nach vorn vorstehen, so werden diese Teile beim Öffnen der Tür seitwärts bewegt. D.h. die Dekorplatte kann bei geöffneter Tür des Kältegeräts vor den Türen benachbarter Schrankelemente zu liegen kommen und deren Bewegungsfreiheit einschränken. Um dies zu vermeiden, ist bei einer Tür, die eine Türplatte und einen von der Türplatte zum Korpus hin abstehenden Rahmen aufweist, die zusammen den vorderen Bereich des Innenraums begrenzen, eine Schwenkachse der Tür vorzugsweise weit vom Korpus entfernt angeordnet, insbesondere verläuft sie vorzugsweise durch die Türplatte der Tür.If the door projects beyond the front edge of the furniture niche, but the body does not project, this means that the depth of the door must be greater than with conventional refrigerators. If, in such a case, parts of the door protrude far beyond the pivot axis, these parts are moved sideways when the door is opened. That is, the decorative plate can come to rest with the door of the refrigerator in front of the doors of adjacent cabinet elements and restrict their freedom of movement. In order to avoid this, in a door having a door panel and a frame projecting from the door panel toward the carcass, which together define the front portion of the interior, a pivotal axis of the door is preferably located far from the carcass, in particular preferably through the door panel of the door.

Die Tatsache, dass die Tür über die Vorderkante der Möbelnische vorspringt, erlaubt es, die Dekorplatte starr an der Tür zu montieren, so dass anders als im in Fig. 1 dargestellten Stand der Technik ein einziges Scharnier, z. B. in Form eines Mehrgelenkscharniers zum Schwenken der Tür und der Dekorplatte genügt.The fact that the door protrudes over the front edge of the furniture niche allows the decorative panel to be rigidly mounted to the door so that, unlike in the Fig. 1 illustrated prior art, a single hinge, z. B. in the form of a multi-joint hinge for pivoting the door and the decorative panel is sufficient.

Da die Tür weit über die Vorderkante der Möbelnische vorsteht, kann es wünschenswert sein, dass ein Stück der Dekorplatte auch eine seitliche Flanke der Tür überdeckt.Because the door projects well beyond the leading edge of the furniture niche, it may be desirable for a piece of the decor panel to also cover a side flank of the door.

Wenn die Tür an ihren seitlichen Flanken und an ihrer Frontseite einen dekorativen Endzustand, d.h. z.B. aus Edelstahlblech aufweist, kann auf eine Dekorplatte, insbesondere eine, die auch die seitlichen Flanken den Tür überdeckt, verzichtet werden.When the door has a decorative end condition, i.e. a decorative end condition, at its lateral flanks and at its front. e.g. Made of stainless steel, can be on a decorative plate, especially one that also covers the side flanks the door, be dispensed with.

Ein Teilesatz für den Zusammenbau eines Kältegeräts wie oben beschrieben, der einen Korpus und eine Mehrzahl von an dem Korpus montierbaren Türen unterschiedlicher Tiefe umfasst, kann auch vorhandensein. Wenn ein Hersteller zu einem Modell von Korpus eine Mehrzahl unterschiedlicher Türen fertigt, hat der Benutzer die Möglichkeit, je nach persönlichem Platzbedarf eine passende Tür auszuwählen. Zur Auslieferung kommen kann sowohl das fertige Gerät, bei dem Korpus und Tür bereits zusammengefügt sind, oder beide Teile getrennt, für einen späteren Zusammenbau am Einbauort.A kit of parts for assembling a refrigerator as described above comprising a body and a plurality of doors of different depths mountable to the body may also be present. When a manufacturer manufactures a plurality of different doors to a model of body, the user has the option of selecting a suitable door according to personal space requirements. Both the finished device, in which the body and door are already assembled, or both parts separately, can be delivered for later assembly at the installation site.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung von Ausführungsbeispielen mit Bezug auf die beigefügten Figuren. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1, bereits behandelt, einen schematischen horizontalen Schnitt durch ein herkömmliches Einbau-Kältegerät, eingebaut in einer Möbelnische;
  • Fig. 2 einen Schnitt analog dem der Fig. 1 durch eine erste Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Kältegeräts;
  • Fig. 3 einen Schnitt durch eine zweite Ausgestaltung des Kältegeräts, in der auch Teile benachbarter Schrankelemente gezeigt sind; und
  • Fig. 4 einen Schnitt durch eine dritte Ausgestaltung des Kältegeräts.
Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying figures. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 already treated, a schematic horizontal section through a conventional built-in refrigerator, installed in a furniture niche;
  • Fig. 2 a section similar to that of Fig. 1 by a first embodiment of the refrigeration device according to the invention;
  • Fig. 3 a section through a second embodiment of the refrigerator, in which parts of adjacent cabinet elements are shown; and
  • Fig. 4 a section through a third embodiment of the refrigerator.

Die Möbelnische mit den Wänden 1, 2 und der Korpus 6 des in Fig. 2 gezeigten Kältegeräts sind identisch mit den entsprechenden Teilen aus Fig. 1 und werden deshalb hier nicht erneut erläutert.The furniture niche with the walls 1, 2 and the corpus 6 of in Fig. 2 shown refrigerator are identical to the corresponding parts Fig. 1 and will therefore not be explained again here.

Das Kältegerät befindet sich in einer ordnungsgemäßen Einbauposition, die z.B. festgelegt ist durch die Anforderung, dass zwischen der Rückwand 2 der Möbelnische und dem Korpus 6 ein Zwischenraum 11 von für die Kühlung eines an der Rückseite des Korpus 6 montierten (nicht dargestellten) Verdampfers ausreichender Tiefe vorhanden ist, und dass andererseits eine Vorderkante 21 des Korpus 6 über die vordere Kante 3 der Möbelnische nicht vorsteht oder die Tiefe des Zwischenraums 11, die für die Kühlung erforderliche Tiefe um nicht mehr als ein vorgegebenes Maß übersteigt.The refrigeration device is in a proper installation position, which is determined for example by the requirement that between the rear wall 2 of the furniture recess and the body 6, a gap 11 of sufficient for the cooling of a mounted on the back of the body 6 (not shown) evaporator is present, and that on the other hand, a front edge 21 of the body 6 does not protrude beyond the front edge 3 of the furniture niche or the depth of the gap 11, the depth required for the cooling does not exceed by more than a predetermined amount.

Die in unterschiedlichen Stellungen gezeigte Tür 10 des Kältegeräts umfasst eine ebene Türaußenverkleidung 12, die die Vorderseite der Tür bildet, und eine durch Tiefziehverfahren einer Kunststoffplatine erzeugte Türinnenverkleidung, die seitliche Holme aufweist und die an ihren seitlichen Rändern eine an sich bekannte umlaufende Magnetdichtung trägt, welche in geschlossener Stellung der Tür 10 dicht an der vorderen Kante des Korpus 6 anliegt. Der Innenraum 14 des Kältegeräts ist durch die Holme 13 in die Tür 10 hineinverlängert. Die Holme 13 können auch durch horizontal verlaufendende Abschnitte verbunden sein, so dass eine Art Rahmen gebildet ist, durch den der Innenraum 14 in die Tür 10 hineinverlängert ist.The door 10 of the refrigerator shown in various positions comprises a flat door outer panel 12 which forms the front of the door, and a door panel produced by thermoforming a plastic board having lateral bars and carrying at its lateral edges a per se known peripheral magnetic seal which in the closed position of the door 10 rests tightly against the front edge of the body 6. The interior 14 of the refrigerator is extended by the spars 13 in the door 10. The spars 13 may also be connected by horizontally extending sections, so that a kind of frame is formed, through which the interior 14 is extended into the door 10.

Ein Scharnier 8, das die Schwenkachse der Tür 10 bildet, ist in an sich bekannter und daher nicht im Detail dargestellter Weise durch zwei Arme gebildet, die an einem Ende über eine Lasche an der Vorderseite 21 des Korpus 6 in Decken- bzw. Bodenhöhe verschraubt sind und an ihrem anderen Ende einen Zapfen tragen, der in hierfür vorgesehene Bohrungen der Tür 10 eingreift und die Schwenkachse der Tür definiert. Diese Bohrungen sind im Bereich der Türaußenverkleidung 12 angeordnet, so dass die Schwenkachse außerhalb der Möbelnische, vor deren vorderer Kante 3, liegt. Durch diese Platzierung der Achse wird vermieden, dass Teile der Tür in geöffnetem Zustand über benachbarte Möbelelemente ausgreifen und den Zugang zu diesen behindern.A hinge 8, which forms the pivot axis of the door 10, is formed in a manner known per se and therefore not shown in detail by two arms, which screwed at one end via a tab on the front side 21 of the body 6 in ceiling or floor level are and carry at its other end a pin which engages in holes provided for this purpose of the door 10 and defines the pivot axis of the door. These holes are arranged in the area of the door outer panel 12, so that the pivot axis outside the furniture niche, in front of the front edge 3, is located. This placement of the axis avoids that parts of the door in the open state on adjacent furniture elements reach out and obstruct access to them.

An der Vorderseite der Tür 10 ist eine Dekorplatte 15 starr montiert. Die Dekorplatte 15 greift in seitlicher Richtung über die Ränder der Tür 10 hinaus und verbirgt sie so bei geschlossener Tür vor den Blicken eines Benutzers, sofern dieser nicht gerade in seitlicher Richtung an der Möbelfront entlang schaut. An der Dekorplatte 15 kann ein Griff montiert sein; es kann auch einfach ein überstehender Randbereich 16 der Dekorplatte 15 an einer von dem Scharnier 8 abgewandten Seite als Griff dienen.At the front of the door 10, a decorative plate 15 is rigidly mounted. The decorative plate 15 engages in the lateral direction beyond the edges of the door 10 and conceals it with the door closed in front of the eyes of a user, unless he looks straight in the lateral direction along the furniture front. On the decorative plate 15, a handle may be mounted; It can also simply serve a protruding edge portion 16 of the decorative plate 15 on a side remote from the hinge 8 side as a handle.

Der seitliche Überstand der Dekorplatte 15 kann an der Seite des Scharniers 8 kleiner gewählt sein als im Randbereich 16, damit die Dekorplatte 15 beim Öffnen der Tür in die Möbelnische ein Stück weit eintauchen kann, ohne mit der Vorderkante der benachbarten Seitenwand 1 zusammenzustoßen.The lateral projection of the decorative panel 15 may be selected to be smaller on the side of the hinge 8 than in the edge region 16, so that the decorative panel 15 can dive a bit when opening the door in the furniture niche without colliding with the front edge of the adjacent side wall 1.

Die Tiefe der Holme 13 ist im Prinzip willkürlich wählbar; es ist daher einfach möglich, unterschiedliche Modelle von Türen 10 herzustellen, die sich, wie in Fig. 3 gezeigt, lediglich in der Tiefe der Holme 13 und damit im Ausmaß des Überstandes nach vom der Dekorplatte 15 über die Türen 17 benachbarter Schrankelemente unterscheiden. Dies erlaubt es einem Anwender, auch bei begrenztem zur Verfügung stehenden Einbauvolumen für das Kältegerät in der Möbelnische den ihm zur Verfügung stehenden Innenraum durch Auswahl einer Tür von geeigneter Tiefe zu vergrößern bzw. optimal an seine Bedürfnisse anzupassen.The depth of the spars 13 is in principle arbitrary; it is therefore easy possible to make different models of doors 10, which, as in Fig. 3 shown, only in the depth of the spars 13 and thus in the extent of the supernatant differ from the decorative panel 15 on the doors 17 adjacent cabinet elements. This allows a user, even with limited available installation volume for the refrigerator in the furniture table to increase the available space available to him by selecting a door of suitable depth or optimally adapted to his needs.

Die Ausgestaltung der Fig. 4 unterscheidet sich von der der Fig. 2 durch die Dekorplatte. Während die Dekorplatte 15 in Fig. 2 eine flache Rückseite aufweist, die nur durch ihren seitlichen Überstand die Seitenflanken der Tür 10 verdeckt, ist die Dekorplatte 18 in Fig. 4 mit Seitenwangen 19, 20 versehen, die sich parallel zu den seitlichen Flanken der Tür 10 erstrecken und die Tür 10 so auch vor Blicken aus seitlicher Richtung verbergen. Die Seitenwangen 19, 20 enden jeweils kurz vor der vorderen Kante 3 der Möbelnische. Je nachdem, wie die Achse des Scharniers 8 platziert ist, kann es erforderlich sein, an der achsnahen Seitenwange 19 eine Hinterschneidung vorzusehen, sie kürzer als die Seitenwange 20 zu machen oder ganz fortzulassen, um das Öffnen der Tür nicht zu behindern. Entsprechende, nicht dargestellte Seitenwangen können auch an der oberen bzw. unteren Kante der Dekorplatte 18 vorgesehen sein.The design of the Fig. 4 is different from that of Fig. 2 through the decorative panel. While the decorative panel 15 in Fig. 2 has a flat back, which only covers the side edges of the door 10 by its lateral projection, the decorative plate 18 in Fig. 4 provided with side cheeks 19, 20 which extend parallel to the lateral flanks of the door 10 and hide the door 10 so also from views from the lateral direction. The side cheeks 19, 20 each end shortly before the front edge 3 of the furniture niche. Depending on how the axis of the hinge 8 is placed, it may be necessary to provide an undercut on the near-side side cheek 19, to make it shorter than the side cheek 20 or to leave it completely so as not to obstruct the opening of the door. Corresponding, not shown, side walls can also be provided on the upper or lower edge of the decorative plate 18.
