Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät mit wenigstens einem Kühl- und/oder Gefrierraum sowie mit wenigstens einer in dem Kühl- bzw. Gefrierraum angeordneten Schublade, wobei sich unterhalb der Schublade im Kühl- bzw. Gefrierraum ein freier Raum befindet. Ein Kühlgerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 ist aus DE7712670U1 bekannt. Insbesondere bei Unterbaukühlgeräten bzw. bei Unterbaugefriergeräten mit Schubfächern sowie mit einem Sockelaggregat entsteht im Gerätesockel unterhalb des untersten Schubfaches ein freier Raum. Dieser freie Raum wird üblicherweise nicht zur Lagerung von Lebensmitteln genutzt, da er für den Benutzer des Gerätes nicht oder nur sehr schwer zugänglich ist.The present invention relates to a refrigerator and / or freezer with at least one refrigerator and / or freezer compartment and at least one arranged in the refrigerator or freezer compartment drawer, which is below the drawer in the refrigerator or freezer compartment, a free space. A refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1 is made DE7712670U1 known. Particularly in the case of undercounter refrigerators or undercounter freezers with drawers and with a base unit, a free space is created in the appliance base below the lowermost drawer. This free space is usually not used for the storage of food, as it is not accessible or very difficult for the user of the device.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass der nutzbare Inhalt des Kühl- bzw. Gefrierraums gegenüber vorbekannten Geräten vergrößert wird.The present invention has the object of developing a refrigerator and / or freezer of the type mentioned in that the usable content of the refrigerator or freezer is increased over prior art devices.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a refrigerator and / or freezer with the features of claim 1.

Danach ist vorgesehen, dass in dem genannten, unterhalb der Schublade befindlichen Raum eine oder mehrere Komponenten des Gerätes angeordnet sind. Erfindungsgemäß ist somit vorgesehen, dass dem genannten Raum eine sinnvolle Nutzung dadurch zugeführt wird, dass darin eine oder mehrere Gerätekomponenten angeordnet sind. Diese Komponenten müssen daher nicht in anderen Bereichen des Gerätes untergebracht werden, so dass der nutzbare Bereich des Kühl- bzw. Gefrierraums vergleichsweise groß ausgeführt werden kann. Gleichzeitig wird der Vorteil erreicht, dass der eigentliche Kühl- bzw. Gefrierraum vollständig den zu lagernden Waren vorbehalten bleibt. Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, dass die Komponenten insbesondere auch vor Beschädigungen beispielsweise durch Einschlagen, Einstechen etc. geschützt sind.Thereafter, it is provided that one or more components of the device are arranged in said, located below the drawer space. According to the invention, it is thus provided that useful space is supplied to the said space by arranging one or more device components therein. Therefore, these components need not be accommodated in other areas of the device, so that the usable area of the refrigerator or freezer compartment can be made comparatively large. At the same time, the advantage is achieved that the actual refrigerator or freezer compartment is completely reserved for the goods to be stored. Another advantage is that the components are protected in particular from damage, for example, by wrapping, puncturing, etc.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der Anordnung von Gerätekomponenten in dem genannten Raum besteht darin, dass diese vergleichsweise wartungsfreundlich untergebracht werden können. Zum Zwecke der Wartung muss lediglich die betreffende Schublade herausgezogen oder entnommen werden und die Komponenten sind sodann für einen Servicetechniker bzw. für den Benutzer gut zugänglich.Another advantage of the arrangement of device components in said space is that they can be accommodated relatively easy to maintain. For the purpose of maintenance, only the drawer in question must be pulled out or removed and the components are then easily accessible to a service technician or to the user.

Dementsprechend ist in einer vorzugsweisen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass wenigstens die Schublade oberhalb des genannten Raumes komplett aus dem Gerät entnommen werden kann. Gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass es sich bei der oder den Komponenten des Gerätes um Komponenten einer Wasserversorgung des Gerätes handelt.Accordingly, it is provided in a preferred embodiment of the invention that at least the drawer above the said space can be completely removed from the device. According to the invention, it is provided that the component or components of the device are components of a water supply of the device.

Denkbar ist beispielsweise, dass das Gerät einen Dispenser für Wasser, insbesondere für Kaltwasser und/oder einen Eiswürfelbereiter aufweist, der mit der Wasserversorgung in Verbindung steht.It is conceivable, for example, that the device has a dispenser for water, in particular for cold water and / or an ice cube maker, which communicates with the water supply.

Denkbar ist es, in dem genannten Raum beispielsweise einen Wassertank anzuordnen und/oder Absperrvorrichtungen und/oder Filtervorrichtungen und/oder Leitungen bzw. Leitungselemente, die zur entsprechenden Aufbereitung bzw. Filterung und Führung des Wassers benötigt werden.It is conceivable, for example, to arrange a water tank in the named space and / or shut-off devices and / or filter devices and / or lines or line elements which are required for the corresponding preparation or filtration and guidance of the water.

Auch ist es denkbar, dass in dem Raum Mittel zur Anreicherung von Wasser mit CO2, wie beispielsweise eine oder mehrere CO2-Patronen und dergleichen vorgesehen sind.It is also conceivable that in the space means for enrichment of water with CO 2 , such as one or more CO 2 cartridges and the like are provided.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass in dem Raum ein Tank für Zusatzstoffe, wie beispielsweise für Aromastoffe, etc. für das abzugebende Wasser oder Luft vorgesehen ist.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that in the room a tank for additives, such as flavoring, etc., is provided for the water or air to be dispensed.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das Gerät ein Sockelaggregat aufweist. Dabei kann vorgesehen sein, dass der genannte Raum im Bereich des Gerätesockels angeordnet ist.In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the device has a base unit. It can be provided that the said space is arranged in the region of the device base.

Bei dem Gerät gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung kann es sich um ein Unterbaukühl- und/oder -gefriergerät handeln, jedoch sind auch andere Geräteausführungen von der Erfindung umfasst.The apparatus according to the present invention may be a subframe refrigerator and / or freezer, but other device embodiments are also included in the invention.

Die einzige Figur zeigt ein Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung in einer schematischen Schnittansicht.The single figure shows a refrigerator and / or freezer according to the present invention in a schematic sectional view.

In der einzigen Figur ist der erfindungsgemäß genutzte Raum des Gerätes 10 mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 gekennzeichnet. Das Bezugszeichen 12 kennzeichnet einen Kühlraum, in dem Schubladen 20 angeordnet sind. Unterhalb der untersten Schublade 20 befindet sich der Raum 1, in dem erfindungsgemäß eine oder mehrere Gerätekomponenten angeordnet sind.In the single figure, the space used according to the invention of the device 10 is designated by the reference numeral 1. The reference numeral 12 denotes a refrigerator in which drawers 20 are arranged. Below the bottom drawer 20 is the room 1, in which one or more device components are arranged according to the invention.

Im rückwärtigen Sockelbereich befindet sich ein Sockelaggregat, auf dem zur Kälteerzeugung dienende Komponenten, wie ein Kompressor und/oder ein Ventilator und/oder eine Verdunstungsschale und/oder die Elektronik und/oder ein Verflüssiger angeordnet sein können.In the rear base area is a base unit on which serving for cooling components such as a compressor and / or a fan and / or an evaporation tray and / or the electronics and / or a condenser can be arranged.

Denkbar ist es, die Gerätefront durch eine Tür zu bilden und im Kühl- bzw. Gefrierraum eine oder mehrere Schubladen anzuordnen, die bei geöffneter Tür zugänglich sind.The fronts of the drawers 20 form the front of the device in the illustrated embodiment at the same time. Of course, other embodiments are also included in the invention. It is conceivable to form the front of the device through a door and to arrange one or more drawers in the refrigerator or freezer, which are accessible when the door is open.

Wie ausgeführt, kann der unterhalb der untersten Schublade 20 befindliche Raum 1 beispielsweise sinnvoll wie folgt genutzt werden:

  • Es können Bauteile wie ein Wassertank mit den dazugehörigen Absperr-, Regel-, Filter- und Leitungsvorrichtungen untergebracht werden. Auch ist es denkbar, Vorrichtungen zur Anreicherung des Kaltwassers mit CO2 zusammen mit einem CO2-Tank in dem Raum zu plazieren.
As stated, the space 1 located below the lowest drawer 20 can, for example, usefully be used as follows:
  • It can be housed components such as a water tank with the associated shut-off, control, filter and line devices. It is also conceivable to place devices for the enrichment of the cold water with CO 2 together with a CO 2 tank in the room.

Denkbar ist es ebenfalls, beliebige Bauteile, wie Filter, Ventile, Leitungen in dem Raum anzuordnen.It is also conceivable to arrange any components, such as filters, valves, lines in the room.

Vorteile der vorliegenden Erfindung bestehen unter anderem darin, dass der Kühl- bzw. Gefrierraum vollständig den zu lagernden Waren vorbehalten ist und dass dieser vergleichsweise groß ausgestaltet werden kann, da Gerätekomponenten zumindest teilweise in dem genannten freien Raum unterhalb des Schubfaches angeordnet sind.Advantages of the present invention include the fact that the refrigerator or freezer compartment is completely reserved for the goods to be stored and that this can be made comparatively large, since device components are at least partially disposed in said space below the drawer.

Abgesehen davon wird als Vorteil erreicht, dass die in dem Raum befindlichen Komponenten insbesondere dann, wenn die oberhalb des Raums angeordnete Schublade vollständig entnehmbar ist, sehr gut zugänglich sind und daher ohne weiteres gewartet werden können. Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, dass die in dem Raum befindlichen Komponenten auch besonders wirksam vor Beschädigungen, wie beispielsweise vor Beschädigungen durch Einschlagen, Einstechen etc. geschützt sind.Apart from this, it is achieved as an advantage that the components located in the space are very easily accessible, in particular when the drawer arranged above the room is completely removable, and can therefore be easily maintained. Another advantage is that the components located in the room are also particularly effective against damage, such as from damage by wrapping, piercing, etc. are protected.
