  • the invention relates to a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Refrigerators especially refrigerators, usually have door racks, so storage compartments or storage containers for refrigerated goods such as bottles, eggs, butter containers or other smaller refrigerated goods, which are detachably attached to the door of the refrigerators.
  • these door racks are height-adjustable arranged on the door of the refrigerator, so that the classification of the door racks can be adapted to the refrigerator door different size ratios of refrigerated goods technically emerge.
  • different attachment positions for the door racks are provided for this purpose on the door of the refrigerator, so that usually two different height settings result per door racks, resulting in a certain flexibility in the arrangement of the door racks.
  • the height adjustment of the aforementioned type has a number of disadvantages.
  • One disadvantage is, for example, the complexity of the height adjustment.
  • two independent devices are necessary for the height adjustment on the one hand and for the fixation on the other hand. This results in a large number of individual parts in order to realize the corresponding height adjustment. This in turn means that several, mechanically movable parts that are subject to wear, eg due to material fatigue, can become defective.
  • the production of this height adjustment is costly because of the high number of components.
  • the unpublished PCT / EP2007 / 063500 describes a refrigerator with a refrigerator door on which at least one height adjustable arranged door racks is provided which is releasably secured to the inside of the door by means of a locking device, and having a first operable locking means, the second locking means with Detent device forms.
  • this height adjustment has the disadvantage that, on the one hand, the height can be adjusted by the locking device, but on the other hand, the door rack for removing the same along a guide rail to the upper or lower end must be performed. Due to the holder of the door compartment by these guide elements a simple removal to the front is not possible.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a refrigeration device which at least partially eliminates the disadvantages of refrigeration devices known from the prior art.
  • the present invention relates to a refrigeration device with a refrigerator door on which at least one height-adjustable arranged door racks is provided which is releasably secured to the inside of the door by means of a locking device, and which has a first operable locking means which forms the locking device with a second locking means.
  • a third locking means is provided, which cooperates at least with a part of the second locking means.
  • the cost savings not only results in the use of a few items, but also on the associated lower assembly costs in the production.
  • the height adjustment according to the invention has the advantages that the corresponding door rack is easy to adjust, and to clean.
  • the door rack according to the invention can be easily removed forwards, which represents a high level of comfort for the user.
  • it is understandable and reliable for the user, in particular because of its simple design.
  • the refrigeration device has a refrigerator door on which at least one height-adjustable door rack is provided.
  • the door cabinets can be any kind of door cabinets. These door racks can be used as storage for smaller refrigerated goods, such. Butter or eggs, only partially across the width of the
  • Refrigeration appliance door extend.
  • the height adjustment according to the invention can also be used for door racks, which extend over the entire width of the refrigerator door.
  • the door rack can in the area of the side parts of the respective contour of the refrigerator door or receiving the door rack
  • the at least one door rack is fastened by a height adjustment in the form of a locking device releasably attached to the refrigerator door.
  • the latching device has a first and a second latching means.
  • the first, operable latching means is assigned to the door rack.
  • the second latching means is the latching means engaged with the first latching means. It is, so to speak, the counter-locking means for the first locking means. Both locking means together, as described above, the locking device.
  • the locking means may in principle have any conceivable shape, as long as they are designed as first and second locking means such that they can be engaged. It is irrelevant whether a special embodiment of the corresponding locking means provided on the door rack, or on the refrigerator door is.
  • a locking cam engaging in the latching opening is provided on the door racks, or on the refrigerator door.
  • both locking means ensure a secure locking.
  • a third locking means is provided, which cooperates at least with a part of the second locking means.
  • the third latching means for example in the form of guides, cooperates with the second latching means associated with the refrigerator door by being guided, for example, along a guide element or a guide rail or movably arranged.
  • any other embodiment of the second locking means on the one hand allows a guide of the third locking means and a locking of the first locking means.
  • the third latching means and the first latching means are actuated independently of each other.
  • the height of the door compartment can be adjusted, for example, by pressing the first locking means, while the door rack is still securely secured against falling out.
  • the door racks can then be removed in addition to the front.
  • the third actuating means preferably has an actuating device. This can be realized for example in the form of two, possibly adjacent, elevations or depressions, or by a two-part survey or depression. So it is conceivable, for example, that the first locking means for height adjustment of the door compartment "unlocked” by an actuator, so that the door rack can be adjusted in terms of height only. By - Eisenzeitiges- pressing the actuator of the third locking means is now also the third locking means "unlocked", and the door racks can be easily removed forward.
  • the third latching means can be actuated by the first latching means.
  • the first latching means preferably has a means for engaging in the third latching means. This means is used to transmit a force from the first to the third locking means.
  • the first locking means for height adjustment of the door compartment can be actuated or pressed, this state corresponding to a first stage or position.
  • the means By pushing beyond a certain resistance, the means also causes a transmission of the force to the third locking means, which corresponds to a second stage or position.
  • the guides snap behind the guide rail and the door racks can be removed to the front.
  • the means for engaging in the third locking means are formed as cams. This embodiment has the advantage that a defined force can be transmitted from the first to the third latching means.
  • the means is arranged engageable in a recess of the third locking means.
  • this recess of the third locking means is formed as a groove.
  • the recess or the groove has the advantage that, for example, a cam of the first locking means is guided within this corresponding recess or groove of the third locking means.
  • first and / or the third latching means on an elastically deflectable device.
  • this is elastically deflectable
  • a detent spring allows in a simple manner to release two engaging locking means, so as to adjust the door rack in its height or to remove.
  • By means of the detent spring is brought by the action of a force, such as by pressing the fingers, the spring from its initial or rest position into a second, the spring force opposite position.
  • Locking means no longer engaged with each other, and the door rack can be adjusted or removed in height.
  • Another advantage is that due to the training as a detent spring no further complicated elements or devices, such as lever or similar parts must be provided to separate the locking elements from each other.
  • the first and third locking means in each case in the side part of the door compartment arranged.
  • the two-sided arrangement allows a secure locking of the door compartment. Due to the respective arrangement of the locking means in the two side panels of the door compartment, the height adjustment can be easily operated by the user or the entire door rack can be easily removed by the user, for example, holding the detent springs with the index fingers, and then the door rack by moving into the desired Position or height brings or removes.
  • first and / or third latching means and the door racks are integrally formed. Due to the one-piece design, for example, eliminates the installation effort of individually manufactured elements or devices that would otherwise have to be joined together in further operations.
  • the locking means and the door rack are made of the same material.
  • the use of only one material leads to a cost saving and thus to the possibility to produce a refrigeration device according to the invention correspondingly low.
  • the detent springs are cut free from the side part of the door compartment. Depending on the length of this free cut area or this slit, it is possible to realize a certain spring rate and a resulting spring force. The longer the correspondingly free-cut region, the lower is the force required to act on the detent spring for separating the engaged two detent elements.
  • the latching means and the door rack are made of different materials.
  • the use of different materials allows an adaptation to the respective requirements of the corresponding device.
  • a cheap material can be used that meets the requirements of the door compartment, while for the locking means a higher quality or more stable material is used because the locking means are exposed to a higher compared to the door rack higher load.
  • the locking means are made of metal.
  • Have latching means of metal the advantage that the stability is greater, for example, with respect to plastic, and thus the risk is reduced that the detent springs could break if misused or after prolonged use.
  • the latching means are arranged by means of two-component or multi-component technology on the door racks.
  • different materials such. Hard-soft compounds processed in one part.
  • the locking elements can be "sprayed" to the door rack.
  • the latching means in the side part with respect to the vertical axis is arranged centrally between the third latching means (see Figure 1). This advantageous arrangement allows a stable locking of the corresponding door compartment, as both above and below the first locking means guides the third
  • Locking means ensure a sufficiently large guidance of the door compartment. It goes without saying that, in addition to the first locking means of course, only a third latching means can be provided as a guide of the door compartment.
  • the two-sided arrangement of the third locking means, that is above and below the first locking means, however, has proved to be particularly advantageous due to their stability.
