Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refrigerator and / or freezer with a glass door, which has a metal frame into which a glazing is inserted.
  • Refrigerators in the context of the present application can also be climatic cabinets for storing wine in particular.
  • the font US 6,655,760 shows a cooling device according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the DE 37 16 914 a climate test cabinet whose door comprises an outer lining and an inner panel, between which an insulating layer is arranged. Furthermore, the shows EP 0 953 807 a glazed door for a household appliance, in which a curved front window is attached by means of adapter to a flat frame.
  • the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide an improved refrigerator and / or freezer of the type mentioned, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art and the latter further develops in an advantageous manner.
  • an optically high-quality glass door with sufficient stability is to be created.
  • the metal frame surrounding the glazing is not composed of several pieces. It consists of a circumferentially integrally formed integrally metal shell, which is formed seamless at least on the visible side of the door. As a result, a hitherto unreached homogeneous optics is realized. Color deviations, visible gaps or joints are eliminated.
  • the outer shell of the door consists of a full-surface evenly trained and aligned material.
  • the metal shell is circumferentially foam-backed or foamed with a foam body.
  • the integral one-piece metal shell regardless of the usual stability requirements for the metal frame in its shape significantly more varied and almost arbitrarily designed.
  • the integrally one-piece metal shell consists of a chip-free deformed sheet metal profile, which can be made of a one-piece sheet metal blank and can have a central punched-out for the glazing.
  • the metal shell is deep-drawn. Alternatively or additionally, it may be bent and beaded. Unbended or -branched edge webs can be welded at joints in the invisible area.
  • the inside of the metal shell is flat, preferably full surface, connected to the foam body.
  • the metal shell has in cross-section inclined flanks to each other, a considerable stiffening can be achieved by the back-foaming.
  • the dimensional stability of the metal shell improves considerably by the foaming.
  • the foam backing of the metal shell considerably improves the heat transfer coefficient, the so-called "K value" of the profile.
  • the foam body achieves a significant reduction in the formation of condensation on the frame and in the transition to the glazing.
  • the metal frame can be kept largely without condensation even without a heater.
  • the metal shell can be given different contours on its front side.
  • the metal shell has a bellied over the width and / or height of the door front side. Apart from a dynamic look, this gives the door increased rigidity.
  • the curvature is not limited to a curvature in the cross section, as would be available with extruded profiles limited. Rather, the upper and lower transverse legs of the metal frame are curved at their front in the longitudinal direction of the transverse legs, i. the entire front side of the metal shell is slightly curved around a substantially vertical axis of curvature, whereby the metal shell is plastically lifted from the planar glazing.
  • the metal shell may have a glazing cutout, in which an integrally encircling cover frame is inserted.
  • the cover frame may rest against the edge of the metal shell delimiting the glazing cutout, in particular it may be plugged with a circumferential groove on said edge, which preferably extends substantially parallel to the glazing plane, so that the metal jacket edge is encompassed on both sides by the cover frame ,
  • the cover frame is in this case preferably formed integrally with slight oversize relative to the glazing cutout. He can still be used by elastic deformation in the glazing cutout.
  • the cover frame is advantageously formed frontally gap-free and also largely free of glass for glazing, thereby avoiding pollution and proper appearance is ensured over a long time.
  • said cover frame may have a varying depth to compensate for the curvature of the front of the metal frame relative to the planar glazing.
  • the glazing cutout of the metal shell can be angular.
  • a sharp, precise look is achieved here.
  • a rounded glazing cut-out can also be introduced into the metal casing. This makes it possible, in particular, to provide an edge web angled relative to the front side of the metal jacket on the metal jacket towards the glazing cutout. Such an angled edge web causes a stiffening of the metal shell in itself, which gives the door a higher strength.
  • an elastic seal can be interposed. This can basically be provided on the front side of the glazing, in particular if the angled edge web described above is used. In order to achieve a precise appearance from the outside, which is not disturbed by the sometimes unsightly rubber bead of the seal, the tolerance compensation is, however, laid on the inside.
  • the glazing may be present on its front side directly at the edge of the metal shell bounding the glazing cutout or the cover frame described above.
  • the elastic seal for tolerance compensation is provided on the back.
  • the glazing may be mounted on the metal frame in various ways. According to the invention a glazing holder is provided for the glazing, which is fastened to the frame reinforcement. If the foaming described above is provided, the glazing holder is foamed into the foam body.
  • the glazing holder of the metal frame has inwardly projecting support legs, on which rests the glazing with its flat side.
  • a suitable connection is expediently provided between the support leg and the glazing.
  • the glazing may be glued to the support leg. By gluing the glass to these parts, the door gets its final rigidity.
  • the glazing in a further development of the invention is a multiple glazing, in which a plurality of glass sheets are arranged spaced from each other.
  • three glass sheets may be provided, which are interconnected by peripherally encircling spacers.
  • an elastic lip seal is provided between the metal jacket and the glazing and / or between the glazing holder and the glazing, which surrounds the glazing and compensates for changes in thickness of the glazing with its elastic lip. This prevents moisture on the one hand. On the other hand, a clean conclusion is created.
  • the elastic seal may have sections of different hardness and / or flexibility.
  • a soft sealing lip may be formed on a harder mounting portion.
  • the seal can be injection molded in this two-component process of various plastics. It is also possible to form a softer sealing lip by coextrusion.
  • the seal can not only seal the glazing, but at the same time take over a storage function for the glazing.
  • a lighting device may be provided on the metal frame, which directs light into the glazing.
  • light emitting diodes or fluorescent tubes can be provided in the transition region between the metal frame and the glazing.
  • this can be dispensed with a separate illumination of the device interior.
  • Other additional applications, such as a frame heater, may be provided within the metal shell.
  • the device or accessories can be attached to the metal frame, which can then possibly accommodate additional components such as lock or thermometer ,
  • cooling unit 1 has a substantially cubic device body 2, which is itself open at the front and closed by a door 3.
  • the door 3 is mounted in a conventional manner about a vertical door pivot axis pivotally mounted on the device body 2, so that they with the help of a door handle 4 to the in FIG. 1 right pivot axis can be opened and closed.
  • the door 3 is formed as a glass door, which has a metal frame 5, in which a glazing 6 is inserted.
  • the metal frame is regularly made quite narrow.
  • the glazing 6 regularly occupies more than 2/3 of the width or the height of the door.
  • the metal frame 5 consists of a circumferentially integrally integral metal shell 7, which is made of one piece, in particular of a one-piece sheet metal blank, in a chipless forming process.
  • the metal shell 7 can be deep-drawn or bent and crimped.
  • the metal shell 7 at least on its visible front, the FIG. 2 shows, no seams or joints, as is the case with conventional metal glass doors, which are composed of several metal frame pieces.
  • thermometer 8 and a lock 9 are introduced into the metal shell.
  • a gasket 14 which is pressed against the appliance body 2 when closing the door, sits around the glazing 6 on the metal frame 5 at the rear.
  • door 3 is to be extended above and / or below the seal 14 in order, for example, to cover or project beyond the device, additional parts can be installed which can then possibly accommodate the additional components such as the lock 9 or the thermometer 8.
  • the metal shell 7 is slightly convex at its front over the entire width of the door.
  • the upper and lower transverse legs 11 are over their length, ie according to FIG. 1 from left to right, slightly curved.
  • the resulting difference from the planar glazing 6 is compensated for either by a cover frame inserted into the glazing cut-out or by the edge webs of the metal shell angled towards the front, as will be described in more detail.
  • the metal shell 7 has been formed into the desired cross-sectional contour without cutting, so that the metal shell 7 a front-side portion 16, a narrow-side portion 17 and a rear portion 18 includes.
  • the limited by the metal shell 7 in this way back cavity is filled with foam, so that a circumferential foam body 19 over the entire surface of the rear wall of the metal shell 7 nestles and forms a closed frame stiffening, which significantly improves the dimensional stability of the metal shell.
  • foam backing of the metal shell 7 also improved thermal insulation is achieved.
  • the metal frame 5 has a much improved K value.
  • a glazing holder 12 is foamed, on the one hand has the inwardly projecting support legs 13 for the glazing 6 and a L-shaped angled end leg 20.
  • the serving as glazing holder 12 profile limits the foam body 19 to the non-limited by the metal shell 7 open side of the metal frame fifth
  • the glazing 6 consists of a triple glazing comprising three glass panes 21, 22, 23, which are arranged parallel to each other and are interconnected by spacers 24 and 25.
  • the spacers 24 and 25 advantageously run all around, so that there is a total completed insulating glazing package.
  • the glazing 6 is inserted into the glazing holder 12 and may there be secured to the support leg 13 by a bond 26. Compared to the limiting leg 20, the glazing 6 is sealed by a circumferential seal 27.
  • the glazing holder 12 with the glazing 6 inserted therein is inserted from the rear into the open side of the metal shell 7, wherein the edge of the central punching of the metal shell 7 for the glazing 6 by a further seal 28 which sits on the edge of the metal shell 7 , sealed and finished clean. Then, after inserting the glazing with the glazing holder 12 provided thereon, the cavity forming the rear side in the metal jacket 7 is filled with foam, so that the glazing holder 12 is foamed into the foam body 19.
  • the glazing holder 12 comprises a support portion 29 which rests on the rear leg portion 18 of the metal shell 7. On this support portion 29, the door seal 14 is fixed, which seals the door 3 relative to the support body 2.
  • the seal 28 is seated on the edge web 40. It can be circumferentially attached to this, with sealing lips of the seal 28 are supported on the front side of the glazing and allow tolerance compensation. Not only are manufacturing tolerances important here. Rather, the multiple glazing may change in thickness due to pressure changes, for example, during transport at high altitudes, so that a tolerance compensation is necessary.
  • the glass door is the glazing cutout 41 advantageously not right angular, but rounded to allow the formation of the edge web.
  • FIG. 4 also includes the according to FIG. 2 crowned over the door width, in cross-section three-legged bent metal shell 7, in the central punched the glazing 6 is used with the glazing holder 12 attached thereto.
  • the glazing holder 12 is seated with a support portion 29 on the rear leg portion 18 of the metal shell 7.
  • the glazing holder 12 is formed, so to speak vice versa.
  • the support arm 13, on which the glazing 6 rests, extends at the front end of the end leg 20 of the glazing holder 12.
  • a connection in the form of a cover frame 42 is provided, as it were formed as a labyrinth seal.
  • a profile piece 31 forming the cover frame 42 sits in a clamping manner on the edge of the metal jacket 7 adjoining the central punched-out area and extends toward the glazing 6, the profile piece 13 being fork-shaped towards the glazing 6.
  • an integrally formed on the support leg 13 edge web 32 extends.
  • the cover 42 is integrally formed circumferentially and has over the glazing cutout 41 a slight oversize. As FIG. 4 shows, the glazing cutout 41 bounding edge 40 extends without angling, ie, substantially parallel to the glazing plane.
  • the cover frame 42 has a circumferential groove, with which it can be plugged under elastic deformation of the cover 42 on the edge 40, so that it is embraced on both sides.
  • the cover frame 42 has a depth that changes along the length of the transverse legs 11, ie its rear side, which faces the glazing, forms a flat surface, whereby a gap between the glazing and the corresponding leg of the profile piece 31 is minimized.
  • the tolerance compensation for the glazing 6 is in the execution after FIG. 4 so to speak to the rear, ie laid on the inside of the door.
  • the glazing 6 is held at the rear by a circumferential seal 33 in the glazing holder 12.
  • the peripheral seal 33 is advantageously injection molded or coextruded from a variety of plastics in the two-component process.
  • the seal 33 may have an elastic sealing lip 43, which is formed on a stiffer mounting portion 44.
  • the stiffer mounting portion 44 is provided in the illustrated embodiment with a locking arm, by means of which the seal 33 can be latched to the glazing holder 12.
