  • the walls of the housing are usually foamed with an insulating foam.
  • the door can have a comparable thickness.
  • the capacity of an interior of the refrigerator is between 50 l and 500 l, in particular between 100 l and 250 l.
  • a water dispensing unit, a display unit and / or an input unit for controlling the refrigeration appliance can be provided in the door. These components are fluid-conducting and / or electrically connected to at least one component on the housing by means of a conduit.
  • the water dispensing unit is connected via a hose to a water tank or to a water supply to the appliance housing of the refrigerating appliance.
  • a rotational-stretching movement of the door can be realized by which an adjustment of the interior of the refrigerator is reduced or avoided by the thickness of the door.
  • the door makes both a rotational and a translatory movement, wherein a momentary axis of rotation of the door during opening is movable in such a way that the door is lifted out of the door opening and pivoted out of it during opening.
  • the multi-joint hinge is dimensioned sufficiently large to accommodate the caused by the component extra weight of the door.
  • the special case of multi-joint hinges with seven parallel bolts and four arms is the subject of IPC class E05D 3/16, for example.
  • the refrigeration device may also be a hot water or hot beverage dispenser for tea and / or coffee and / or broth.
  • the hot beverage dispenser may have a door for the maintenance and care of an interior. The fluid-conducting or electrical connection with the door is advantageously produced in the region of the multi-joint.
  • the component comprises an output unit for water, in particular cooled water or ice, and the conduit comprises a hose.
  • the line may further comprise a cable harness, in particular electrical cables.
  • the component comprises a display unit or an input unit and the line comprises a cable, in particular a cable harness.
  • the component comprises an electrically actuable actuator, in particular for a valve or a closure flap on the door.
  • the component can, for example, work electromagnetically. It may have an electric motor, for example as an icemaker.
  • a support is provided which supports the line with the door open in an intermediate region between the door and the housing.
  • the line is on the carrier and shifts in the rotary-stretching movement of the multi-joint hinge.
  • the line comprises in particular an electrical cable and / or a hose.
  • the line is guided in particular in the immediate vicinity of the hinge, preferably slightly below the hinge.
  • the described electrical or fluid-conducting connection between the door and the device housing claimed in a substructure of the refrigerator comparatively little space and does not require complicated mechanics. In particular, no pipe string is required.
  • the carrier has a carrier surface on which the conduit can slide or slide along when opening and closing the door.
  • the support surface supports the fluid-conducting or electrical connection and thus makes it possible to open and close the door without catching or blocking.
  • the carrier is attached to the housing.
  • the carrier may be a straight or curved L-profile, wherein in particular the line rests against the inner edge of the L-profile.
  • the line is in particular arcuately shaped and has a vertical portion which can accommodate a rotation of the line elastically without great tension.
  • the line runs in particular in the immediate vicinity below the multi-joint hinge.
  • the multi-joint protects the pipe by covering the pipe from above.
  • the line is at least partially encapsulated by the carrier and the multi-joint hinge. Due to the encapsulation, damage to the line is less likely and the line is additionally protected.
  • the line is guided in particular in a hinge-side region of the housing in an arc.
  • the conduit has a vertical section to compensate for torsion when opening the door.
