Description

Kühlgerät cooling unit
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kühlgerät, insbesondere einen Kühl- oder Gefrierschrank mit wenigstens einem in dem Kühlraum des Kühlgerätes befindlichen Trageboden.The invention relates to a refrigerator, in particular a refrigerator or freezer with at least one located in the cooling chamber of the refrigerator support base.
Die Ausführung und Anordnung derartiger Trageböden in den Kühlräumen von Kühlgeräten ist in zahlreichen unterschiedlichen Varianten bekannt. Die Trageböden dienen unabhängig von ihrer konkreten Ausgestaltung zur Aufnahme des Kühlbzw. Gefriergutes, wobei es sich dabei naturgemäß um Waren unterschiedlichster Form und Größe handeln kann. Vorbekannte Trageböden weisen häufig eine nicht veränderbare weitgehend glatte Oberfläche auf, die unabhängig von der Form und Größe des Kühl- oder Gefriergutes als Auflage für sämtliche der eingelegten Waren dient.The design and arrangement of such wear floors in the cold rooms of refrigerators is known in many different variants. The support floors are used regardless of their specific design for receiving the Kühlbzw. Frozen goods, which may of course be goods of different shapes and sizes. Previously known support floors often have a non-variable largely smooth surface, which serves regardless of the shape and size of the refrigerated or frozen goods as a support for all of the inlaid goods.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe die zugrunde, ein Kühlgerät der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, daß die Trageböden an unterschiedliche Anforderungen anpaßbar sind. Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Kühlgerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Danach ist ein relativ zu dem Trageboden bewegbarer Einsatz vorgesehen, der in wenigstens einer Position zumindest bereichsweise die Oberfläche der aus Trageboden und Einsatz bestehenden Einheit bildet. Der Einsatz kann plattenför- mig ausgeführt sein. In bevorzugter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Einsatz derart angeordnet, daß dieser erforderlichenfalls gewendet werden kann, so daß die oben liegende Seite des Einsatzes an die gegebenen Anforderungen angepaßt werden kann. Der Begriff „bewegbar" umfaßt z. B. den Fall, dass der Einsatz von dem Trageboden entnommen werden kann oder z. B. auch den Fall, dass der Einsatz zwar nicht entnehmbar ist, jedoch relativ zum Trageboden in seiner Position veränderbar ist.The present invention has the object of developing a cooling device of the type mentioned in such a way that the support bottoms are adaptable to different requirements. This object is achieved by a cooling device with the features of claim 1. Thereafter, a relative to the support floor movable insert is provided, which forms at least partially the surface of the support base and insert unit in at least one position. The insert can be plate-shaped. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the insert is arranged such that it can be turned if necessary, so that the upper side of the insert can be adapted to the given requirements. The term "movable" includes, for example, the case that the insert can be removed from the support floor or, for example, also the case that the insert is not removable, but is adjustable in position relative to the support floor.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist auf der Oberseite des Tragebodens eine Ausnehmung angeordnet. Dabei ist der Einsatz bzw. die Ausnehmung derart dimensioniert, daß der Einsatz in die Ausnehmung eingelegt werden kann und dadurch in seiner Position fixiert wird.In a further embodiment of the invention, a recess is arranged on the upper side of the supporting floor. In this case, the insert or the recess is dimensioned such that the insert can be inserted into the recess and thereby fixed in position.
Der Einsatz kann eine Oberseite und eine Unterseite aufweisen, die voneinander abweichend strukturierte Oberflächen aufweisen. Denkbar ist beispielsweise, daß der Einsatz auf einer Seite eine wenigstens eine Ausnehmung umfassende Oberfläche aufweist. Ferner kann vorgesehen sein, daß der Einsatz auf einer Seite glatt ausgeführt ist und somit als übliche ebene Ablagefläche dienen kann. Bei unterschiedlich ausgeführter Ober- und Unterseite des Einsatzes lassen sich unterschiedliche Oberflächenstrukturen realisieren, so daß eine entsprechende Variabilität und Anpassung an unterschiedliche Anforderungen möglich ist.The insert may have an upper surface and a lower surface that have differently structured surfaces. It is conceivable, for example, that the insert has a surface comprising at least one recess on one side. Furthermore, it can be provided that the insert is made smooth on one side and thus can serve as a conventional level storage area. In differently executed top and bottom of the insert, different surface structures can be realized, so that a corresponding variability and adaptation to different requirements is possible.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Ausnehmung zur Aufnahme des Einsatzes einen geschlossenen Umfangsrand auf. Alternativ dazu kann vorgesehen sein, daß die Ausnehmung zu einer oder mehreren Seiten des Tragebodens hin offen ausgeführt ist. Der Einsatz kann von dem Trageboden entfernbar sein, d.h. vollständig von dem Trageboden abgenommen werden. Grundsätzlich ist es ferner möglich, dass der Einsatz nicht vollständig von dem Trageboden abnehmbar ist, sondern nur relativ zu dem Trageboden bzw. einer darin vorgesehenen Ausnehmung verschiebbar oder verschwenkbar ist. Auch ist es denkbar, daß der Einsatz relativ zu dem Trageboden über eine geeignete Schwenkeinrichtung derart schwenkbar angeordnet ist, daß er gewendet werden kann.In a further embodiment of the invention, the recess for receiving the insert on a closed peripheral edge. Alternatively, it may be provided that the recess is designed to open to one or more sides of the support floor. The insert may be removable from the support floor, ie completely removed from the support floor. In principle, it is also possible that the insert is not completely removable from the support floor, but only relative to the support floor or a recess provided therein is displaceable or pivotable. It is also conceivable that the insert is arranged so pivotable relative to the support floor via a suitable pivoting means that it can be turned.
Die Form der Ausnehmung ist weitgehend beliebig. Möglich ist es, daß die Ausnehmung eckig, beispielsweise rechteckig oder quadratisch ausgeführt ist oder Rundungen aufweist, d.h. beispielsweise kreisrund oder oval ausgeführt ist.The shape of the recess is largely arbitrary. It is possible that the recess is square, for example rectangular or square, or has curves, i. for example, circular or oval is executed.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Tiefe der Ausnehmung in etwa der Höhe des Einsatzes entspricht oder diese übersteigt. Entspricht die Tiefe der Ausnehmung der Höhe des Einsatzes, ergibt sich eine fluchtende Oberfläche zwischen Einsatz und der die Ausnehmung umgebenden Oberfläche des Tragebodens. Übersteigt die Tiefe der Ausnehmung die Höhe des Einsatzes, ergibt sich dementsprechend eine stufige Ausführung.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the depth of the recess corresponds approximately to the height of the insert or exceeds. If the depth of the recess corresponds to the height of the insert, an aligned surface results between the insert and the surface of the supporting surface surrounding the recess. If the depth of the recess exceeds the height of the insert, the result is a stepped design.
In besonders bevorzugter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist eine Platte vorgesehen, die derart dimensioniert ist, das sie in der Ausnehmung aufnehmbar ist. Bei der Platte kann es sich beispielsweise um eine Glasplatte handeln. Jedoch sind auch beliebige davon abweichende Ausführungsformen denkbar. Aufgrund der genannten Dimensionierung der Glasplatte ist es möglich, diese unterhalb des genannten Einsatzes anzuordnen, wenn sie als Ablagefläche nicht benötigt wird. Daraus ergibt sich der besondere Vorteil, das ein separater Stauraum außerhalb des Tragebodens bzw. des Kühlgerätes für die Aufnahme der Platte nicht erforderlich ist. Wird die Platte nicht als Ablagefläche benötigt, kann sie unterhalb des Einsatzes in der Ausnehmung des Tragebodens positioniert werden. Wird sie benötigt, kann sie von dort entnommen und oben auf den Einsatz aufgelegt werden und auf diese Weise einen Teil der Ablagefläche bilden. Dabei ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die Tiefe der Ausnehmung des Tragebodens der Summe aus der Dicke der Platte sowie der Höhe des Einsatzes entspricht. Für diesen Fall ergibt sich unabhängig davon, ob die Platte oberhalb oder unterhalb des Einsatzes liegt, eine fluchtende Anordnung zwischen der Platte bzw. dem Einsatz und den Bereichen des Tragebodens, die die Ausnehmung umgeben.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, a plate is provided which is dimensioned such that it can be received in the recess. The plate may be, for example, a glass plate. However, any deviating embodiments are conceivable. Due to the aforementioned dimensioning of the glass plate, it is possible to arrange them below the said insert, if it is not needed as a storage area. This results in the particular advantage that a separate storage space outside the supporting floor or the cooling device for receiving the plate is not required. If the plate is not needed as a storage surface, it can be positioned below the insert in the recess of the support floor. If it is needed, it can be removed from there and placed on top of the insert and thus form part of the shelf. It is particularly advantageous if the depth of the recess of the supporting floor corresponds to the sum of the thickness of the plate and the height of the insert. For this case, regardless of whether the plate is above or below the insert, there is an alignment between the plate or insert and the areas of the tray surrounding the recess.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß im Randbereich der Ausnehmung des Tragebodens eine oder mehrere Aussparungen zur Entnahme des Einsatzes und/oder der Platte vorgesehen sind. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, den Einsatz und/oder die Platte problemlos zu entnehmen. Aussparungen können zusätzlich oder alternativ in dem Einsatz und/oder der Platte, beispielsweise in deren Randbereich, angeordnet sein.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that one or more recesses for removal of the insert and / or the plate are provided in the edge region of the recess of the support floor. In this way it is possible to easily remove the insert and / or the plate. Recesses may additionally or alternatively be arranged in the insert and / or the plate, for example in its edge region.
Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn der Trageboden wärmeisolierende Eigenschaften aufweist und zwei mit unterschiedlicher Temperatur betriebene Kompartimente des Kühlgerätes voneinander trennt. Ist der Trageboden aus dem Kühlgerät entnehmbar ausgeführt, ergibt sich eine besonders flexible Ausgestaltung des Kühlgerätes mit entsprechend hoher Variabilität. In diesem Zusammenhang wird auf die Gebrauchsmusteranmeldung der Anmelderin mit demselben Anmeldetag verwiesen, auf die Bezug genommen wird. Der Trageboden kann einen zwischen dessen Ober- und Unterseite angeordneten Zwischenraum aufweisen, in dem ein Isolationsmedium angeordnet ist. Der Zwischenraum kann luftgefüllt oder ausgeschäumt sein.It is particularly preferred if the carrying base has heat-insulating properties and two compartments of the cooling appliance operated at different temperatures separate from one another. If the carrying tray is designed to be removable from the refrigerating appliance, this results in a particularly flexible design of the refrigerating appliance with correspondingly high variability. In this context, reference is made to the applicant's utility model application with the same filing date, to which reference is made. The support floor may have a space arranged between the top and bottom, in which an isolation medium is arranged. The gap can be filled with air or foamed.
In bevorzugter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht der Trageboden aus einem wannenförmigen Unterbaukörper, auf den eine Glasplatte aufgesetzt ist, wobei zwischen dem Unterbaukörper und der mit diesem verklebten Glasplatte der vorgenannte Zwischenraum gebildet wird.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the support floor consists of a trough-shaped base body, on which a glass plate is placed, wherein between the base body and the glued with this glass plate of the aforementioned gap is formed.
Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile der Erfindung werden anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels ersichtlich. Es zeigen: Figur 1 : perspektivische Abbildungen eines Tragebodens mit Ausnehmung mit und ohne einem in der Ausnehmung befindlichen Einsatz undFurther details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from an embodiment shown in the drawing. Show it: Figure 1: perspective illustrations of a supporting floor with recess with and without an insert located in the recess and
Figur 2: unterschiedliche Ansichten eines Tragebodens mit Ausnehmung und darin aufgenommenem Einsatz mit Glasplatte.Figure 2: different views of a support floor with recess and therein recorded insert with glass plate.
Figur 1 zeigt einen im wesentlichen rechteckigen Trageboden 10, der im eingesetzten Zustand im Kühlraum eines Kühlgerätes, insbesondere eines Kühl- oder Ge- frierschrankes, mittels geeigneter Halterungen aufgenommen ist. Der Trageboden 10 weist auf seiner Oberseite die aus Figur 1 , unten ersichtliche Ausnehmung 50 auf, die ebenfalls rechteckig ausgeführt ist. Die Ausnehmung 50 weist einen Boden auf, der sich parallel zu dem Trageboden 10 erstreckt. Ferner wird die Ausnehmung 50 von vier Seitenwandungen begrenzt, ist also vollumfänglich von den Randbereichen des Tragebodens 10 umgeben, wie dies aus Figur 1 ersichtlich ist.FIG. 1 shows a substantially rectangular carrying bottom 10, which in the inserted state is accommodated in the cooling space of a cooling device, in particular a refrigerator or freezer, by means of suitable holders. The support base 10 has on its upper side the recess 50 shown in FIG. 1, which is also rectangular. The recess 50 has a bottom which extends parallel to the support floor 10. Further, the recess 50 is bounded by four side walls, so it is completely surrounded by the edge regions of the support base 10, as can be seen from Figure 1.
Außer den in Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsformen des Tragebodens 10 und der Ausnehmung 50 sind selbstverständlich beliebige davon abweichende Ausführungen und Anordnungen denkbar. Beispielsweise ist es möglich, die Ausnehmung nicht rechteckig sondern quadratisch oder abgerundet, beispielsweise kreisrund oder oval auszuführen. Auch für den Trageboden 10 selbst ergeben sich unterschiedlichste Ausgestaltungsmöglichkeiten.Apart from the embodiments of the support floor 10 and the recess 50 shown in FIG. 1, it is naturally also possible to deviate from any other designs and arrangements. For example, it is possible to make the recess not rectangular but square or rounded, for example circular or oval. Even for the support floor 10 itself, a variety of design options arise.
Wie aus Figur 1 , oben ersichtlich, ist ein Einsatz 20 vorgesehen, der derart ausgeführt ist, daß er in der Ausnehmung 50 aufnehmbar ist. Die Außenabmessungen des Einsatzes 20 entsprechen oder liegen geringfügig unter den Abmessungen der Ausnehmung 50, so daß der Einsatz 20 ohne oder mit nur geringem Spiel in der Ausnehmung 50 aufgenommen ist.As shown in Figure 1, above, an insert 20 is provided, which is designed such that it is receivable in the recess 50. The outer dimensions of the insert 20 correspond or are slightly below the dimensions of the recess 50, so that the insert 20 is received without or with little play in the recess 50.
Der Einsatz 20 weist auf seiner in Figur 1 , oben dargestellten Oberseite mehrere parallel zueinander angeordnete längliche Ausnehmungen 30 auf, die zur Aufnahme von Flaschen dienen. Wie aus Figur 1 ersichtlich, sind die Ausnehmungen 30 auf einer Seite offen ausgeführt, das heißt sie bilden einen Teil des Randbereiches des Einsatzes 20. In ihrem davon abgewandten Endbereich sind die Ausnehmungen 30 abgerundet ausgeführt und gehen in die Oberfläche des Einsatzes 20 über.The insert 20 has on its upper side shown in Figure 1, above, a plurality of mutually parallel elongated recesses 30, which serve to accommodate bottles. As can be seen from Figure 1, the recesses 30 are designed to be open on one side, that is, they form part of the edge region of the insert 20. In their end region facing away from the recesses 30 are executed rounded and go over into the surface of the insert 20.
Wie aus Figur 1 weiter ersichtlich, sind im Randbereich der Ausnehmungen 50 zwei gegenüberliegende halbkreisförmige Aussparungen 52 angeordnet, die zum Eingreifen und zur Entnahme des Einsatzes 20 dienen. Ebenso ist es möglich, nur eine oder auch mehr als Zwei Aussparungen vorzusehen. Die Aussparungen können halbkreisförmig ausgeführt sein oder auch eine andere Gestaltung aufweisen. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann vorgesehen sein, die Aussparungen innenliegend an dem Einsatz und/oder an der Glasplatte vorzusehen.As is further apparent from FIG. 1, in the edge area of the recesses 50, two opposite semicircular recesses 52 are arranged, which serve for the engagement and removal of the insert 20. It is also possible to provide only one or more than two recesses. The recesses may be semicircular or have a different design. Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided to provide the recesses on the inside of the insert and / or on the glass plate.
Der Einsatz 20 gemäß Figur 1 weist vorzugsweise auf seiner nicht dargestellten Unterseite eine von der aus Figur 1 , oben ersichtlichen Oberseite abweichende Ausgestaltung auf. Beispielsweise ist es denkbar, daß die Unterseite des Einsatzes 20 eben ausgeführt ist. Wird der Einsatz 20 gemäß Figur 1 gewendet, ergibt sich somit im Bereich der Ausnehmung 50 eine glatte Oberfläche.The insert 20 according to FIG. 1 preferably has a design deviating from the upper side shown in FIG. 1 above on its lower side (not shown). For example, it is conceivable that the underside of the insert 20 is made flat. If the insert 20 is turned in accordance with FIG. 1, a smooth surface thus results in the region of the recess 50.
Wie aus Figur 1 , oben ersichtlich, liegt die Höhe des Einsatzes 20 geringfügig unter der Tiefe der Ausnehmung 50, so daß im Übergangsbereich zwischen Einsatz 20 und der Oberfläche des Tragebodens 10 ein stufenförmiger Abschnitt gebildet wird.As can be seen from Figure 1, above, the height of the insert 20 is slightly below the depth of the recess 50, so that in the transition region between insert 20 and the surface of the support floor 10, a step-shaped portion is formed.
Aus Figur 2 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung ersichtlich. Figur 2a zeigt eine Draufsicht auf den erfindungsgemäßen Trageboden mit Einsatz und der darauf aufliegenden Platte 60, Figur 2b zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht, Figur 2c zeigt eine Schnittansicht gemäß Linie E - E in Figur 2a und Figur 2d zeigt eine Schnittansicht gemäß der Linie F - F in Figur 2a.FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment of the invention. FIG. 2 a shows a plan view of the carrying tray according to the invention with insert and the plate 60 lying thereon, FIG. 2 b shows a perspective view, FIG. 2 c shows a sectional view according to line E - E in FIG. 2 a and FIG. 2 d shows a sectional view according to line F - F in Figure 2a.
Die Figuren 2a bis 2d zeigen den Trageboden 10 mit der Ausnehmung 50 gemäß Figur 1. Abweichend von Figur 1 befindet sich in der Ausnehmung 50 jedoch nicht nur der aus Figur 1 , oben ersichtliche Einsatz 20, sondern auch die als Glasplatte ausgeführte Platte 60. Die Platte 60 weist eine Dicke auf, die den Höhenunterschied zwischen dem Einsatz 20 und der Tiefe der Ausnehmung 50 ausgleicht, d.h. der Einsatz 20 und die Platte 60 weisen gemeinsam eine Höhe auf, die der Tiefe der Ausnehmung 50 entspricht. Daraus ergibt sich, daß die Oberfläche der Platte 60 mit dem Bereich des Tragebodens 10 fluchtet, der die Ausnehmung 50 umgibt.FIGS. 2a to 2d show the carrying tray 10 with the recess 50 according to FIG. 1. Notwithstanding FIG. 1, not only the insert 20 shown in FIG. 1, but also the plate 60 embodied as a glass plate is located in the recess 50 Plate 60 has a thickness that compensates for the difference in height between the insert 20 and the depth of the recess 50, ie the insert 20 and the plate 60 together have a height which corresponds to the depth of the recess 50. It follows that the surface of the plate 60 is aligned with the region of the supporting floor 10, which surrounds the recess 50.
Aus den Schnittansichten gemäß Figur 2c und 2d ergibt sich femer, daß die Platte 60 hinsichtlich ihrer Breite und Länge der des Einsatzes 20 entspricht. Die Breite und Länge der Platte 60 sowie des Einsatzes 20 entsprechen oder liegen geringfügig unter der Breite bzw. Länge der Ausnehmung 50.The sectional views according to FIGS. 2c and 2d also show that the plate 60 corresponds in terms of its width and length to that of the insert 20. The width and length of the plate 60 and the insert 20 correspond or are slightly below the width or length of the recess 50th
In der in Figur 2 dargestellten Anordnung befindet sich die Platte 60 über dem Einsatz 20 und bildet somit einen Teil der Ablagefläche. Wird statt dessen gewünscht, daß die gewellte Oberfläche des Einsatzes 20 die Oberseite bildet, können Platte 60 und Einsatz 20 mittels der Aussparungen 52 entnommen werden und die Platte 60 unten und der Einsatz 20 darüberliegend oben angeordnet werden, so daß die Ausnehmungen 30 des Einsatzes 20 die Oberseite bilden. Unabhängig von der Anordnung von Platte 60 und Einsatz 20 besteht für keines dieser Teile der Bedarf für einen separaten Stauraum. Wie aus Figur 2 ersichtlich, können beide Teile in der Ausnehmung 50 untergebracht werden.In the arrangement shown in Figure 2, the plate 60 is located above the insert 20 and thus forms part of the storage surface. If it is desired instead that the corrugated surface of the insert 20 forms the top, plate 60 and insert 20 can be removed by means of the recesses 52 and the plate 60 below and the insert 20 are arranged above it above, so that the recesses 30 of the insert 20th make the top. Regardless of the arrangement of plate 60 and insert 20, there is no need for a separate storage space for any of these parts. As can be seen from Figure 2, both parts can be accommodated in the recess 50.
Der in Figur 2 dargestellte Einsatz 20 weist auf seiner von der die Ausnehmungen 30 aufweisenden Seite abgewandten Seite eine glatte Oberfläche 40 auf. Sofern dies gewünscht ist, kann auch die ebene Oberfläche 40 die Oberseite der Anordnung bilden. The insert 20 shown in FIG. 2 has a smooth surface 40 on its side remote from the side having the recesses 30. If desired, also the flat surface 40 may form the top of the assembly.
