Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Gehäuse für ein Haushaltsgerät, insbesondere einen Kühl- oder Gefrierschrank, mit einem Korpus, einer Tür und einem Scharnier, das benachbart zu einer Kante des Korpus angeordnet ist und Korpus und Tür verbindet.The present invention relates to a housing for a household appliance, in particular a refrigerator or freezer, with a body, a door and a hinge, which is arranged adjacent to an edge of the body and body and door connects.

Einfache für die Aufhängung einer Haushaltsgerätetür verwendete Scharniere haben im allgemeinen einen Scharnierbolzen, der von oben oder unten in eine Lagerhülse der Tür eingreift und so eine Schwenkachse der Tür festlegt, und einen Arm, über den der Scharnierbolzen fest mit dem Korpus verbunden ist. Dieser Arm ist von außen sichtbar, was als störend empfunden wird.Simple hinges used for the suspension of a household appliance door generally have a hinge pin which engages from above or below in a bearing sleeve of the door and thus defines a pivot axis of the door, and an arm, via which the hinge pin is firmly connected to the body. This arm is visible from the outside, which is distracting.

Es wäre zwar an sich denkbar, ein solches Scharnier hinter einem fest mit der Tür zusammenhängenden Gehäuse zu verbergen, doch würde ein solches Gehäuse die Bewegungsfreiheit der Tür beschränken, oder es müsste mit einem - ästhetisch ebenfalls unbefriedigenden - seitlichen Schlitz versehen sein, durch den sich der Arm im geöffneten Zustand der Tür erstrecken kann.Although it would be conceivable to conceal such a hinge behind a fixed to the door housing, but would such a housing restrict the freedom of movement of the door, or it would have to be provided with a - aesthetically also unsatisfactory - lateral slot through which the arm can extend in the open state of the door.

Bei Einbau-Kältegeräten wird das Problem, das Scharnier zu verbergen, ohne die Bewegungsfreiheit der Tür übermäßig zu beschränken, mit Hilfe von Mehrgelenkscharnieren gelöst, deren Teile derart aneinander gekoppelt beweglich sind, dass die Tür beim Öffnen und Schließen um eine ideelle Achse rotiert, die außerhalb des Gerätegehäuses gelegen ist. Derartige Mehrgelenkscharniere sind durch ihren notwendigerweise komplizierten Aufbau kostspielig, und sie beanspruchen eine beträchtliche Einbautiefe, deren Bereitstellung bei Standgeräten problematisch sein kann.In built-in refrigerators, the problem of hiding the hinge without unduly restricting the freedom of movement of the door is solved by means of multi-joint hinges, the parts of which are coupled to one another in such a way that the door rotates around an ideal axis when opening and closing located outside the device housing. Such multi-joint hinges are costly due to their necessarily complicated structure, and they require a considerable installation depth, the provision of which can be problematic in standard equipment.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist, ein Gehäuse für ein Haushaltsgerät der oben angegebenen Art zu schaffen, bei dem das Scharnier bei geschlossener Tür verborgen ist und bei dem dennoch mit einfachen Mitteln eine ausreichende Bewegungsfreiheit der Tür realisierbar ist.The object of the invention is to provide a housing for a household appliance of the type specified above, in which the hinge is hidden when the door is closed and in which, nevertheless, by simple means sufficient freedom of movement of the door can be realized.

Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass die Tür eine dem Korpus zugewandte erste Aussparung aufweist, dass das Scharnier einen mit dem Korpus fest verbundenen und in die Aussparung eingreifenden Arm umfasst, an dem eine Achse des Scharniers festgelegt ist, und dass an dem Arm eine der dem Scharnier benachbarten Seitenfläche des Gehäuses zugewandte Aussparung gebildet ist, in die in geöffneter Stellung der Tür eine Seitenwand der ersten Aussparung eingreift.The object is achieved in that the door has a first recess facing the body, that the hinge comprises a fixedly connected to the body and engaging in the recess arm on which an axis of the hinge is fixed, and that on the arm one of the hinges adjacent side surface of the housing facing recess is formed, engages in the open position of the door, a side wall of the first recess.

Vorzugsweise umfasst die Tür ein Mittelstück und obere und untere Abschlussstücke, die einen Hohlraum des Mittelstücks verschließen. Dann kann die Aussparung vorteilhaft an wenigstens einem der Abschlussstücke gebildet sein. Eine solche Tür kann preiswert gefertigt werden, da das Mittelstück leicht durch Zuschneiden von Endlosmaterial in einer der Höhe des zu fertigenden Mittelstücks entsprechenden Länge gefertigt werden kann.Preferably, the door comprises a center piece and upper and lower end pieces closing a cavity of the center piece. Then, the recess may be advantageously formed on at least one of the end pieces. Such a door can be made inexpensively because the center piece can be easily manufactured by cutting endless material in a length corresponding to the height of the center piece to be manufactured.

Die Abschlussstücke können einfach und preiswert aus Kunststoff spritzgeformt sein.The end caps can be injection molded simply and inexpensively from plastic.

Die Aussparung, die den Arm des Scharniers aufnimmt, erstreckt sich vorzugsweise über im wesentlichen die gesamte Breite der Tür. So ist es möglich, den Arm des Scharniers je nach Bedarf benachbart zur rechten oder linken Seitenfläche des Korpus zu montieren und im einen wie im anderen Falle in die Aussparung eingreifen zu lassen.The recess receiving the arm of the hinge preferably extends over substantially the entire width of the door. Thus, it is possible to mount the arm of the hinge as needed adjacent to the right or left side surface of the body and to let engage in one recess as in the other case in the recess.

Alternativ können auch zwei Aussparungen jeweils zu entgegengesetzten Seitenflanken der Tür benachbart an der Tür gebildet sein, von denen wahlweise eine den Arm aufnimmt.Alternatively, two recesses may each be formed on opposite side flanks of the door adjacent to the door, of which one optionally receives the arm.

Der Arm kann auf einfache Weise aus einem um die Ausnehmung herum geformten Stück Flachmaterial gebildet sein. Der Arm ist vorzugsweise gegliedert in einen an der Vorderseite des Korpus anliegend befestigten ersten Endabschnitt, einen sich vor der Vorderseite erstreckenden zweiten Endabschnitt, an dem die Achse festgelegt ist, und einen Mittelabschnitt, der beide verbindet.The arm can be formed in a simple manner from a piece of flat material formed around the recess. The arm is preferably articulated in a first end portion attached to the front of the body, a second end portion extending forwardly of the front end to which the axis is fixed, and a middle portion connecting both.

Ein solcher Arm kann in der Draufsicht in etwa Z-förmig sein, mit von dem Mittelabschnitt in entgegengesetzte Richtungen abstehenden Endabschnitten, oder U-förmig, mit in eine gleiche Richtung abstehenden Endabschnitten. Bevorzugt ist die U-Form, da dort der zweite Endabschnitt den ersten weitgehend verbirgt.Such an arm may be approximately Z-shaped in plan view, with end portions projecting from the central portion in opposite directions, or U-shaped, with end portions projecting in a same direction. Preferably, the U-shape, since there the second end portion largely conceals the first.

Um einen solchen U-förmigen Arm am Korpus mit Hilfe eines Befestigungsmittels montieren zu können, das durch eine Bohrung des ersten Abschnitts hindurch in den Korpus eingreift, ist der zweite Endabschnitt zweckmäßigerweise mit einer der Bohrung gegenüberliegenden Öffnung versehen, durch die hindurch das Befestigungsmittel und/oder ein Werkzeug zu seiner Handhabung eingeführt werden kann.In order to mount such a U-shaped arm on the body by means of a fastening means which engages through a bore of the first section into the body, the second end portion is expediently provided with an opening opposite the bore, through which the fastening means and / or a tool can be introduced for its handling.

Vorzugsweise ist der erste Endabschnitt des Arms in einer Aussparung des Korpus formschlüssig aufgenommen. Eine solche Aussparung erleichtert zum einen die exakte Platzierung des Arms; zum anderen kann sie zum festen Sitz des Arms beitragen und/oder dessen Position ungeachtet eventueller Toleranzen zwischen dem ersten Endabschnitt und dem Befestigungsmittel exakt definieren.Preferably, the first end portion of the arm is received positively in a recess of the body. Such a recess facilitates firstly the exact placement of the arm; On the other hand, it can contribute to the tight fit of the arm and / or define its position exactly regardless of any tolerances between the first end portion and the fastening means.

Um die Achse festzulegen, kann das den Arm bildende Stück Flachmaterial an einem Ende des Arms zu einer Hülse gerollt sein. Diese Hülse kann einen Lagerzapfen fest oder drehbar aufnehmen.To fix the axle, the piece of sheet material forming the arm may be rolled into a sleeve at one end of the arm. This sleeve can take a bearing pin fixed or rotatable.

Um die Belastbarkeit des Arms zu erhöhen, kann jeweils in einem gekrümmten Bereich des Arms eine Sicke geformt sein.In order to increase the load capacity of the arm, a bead may be formed in each case in a curved region of the arm.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung von Ausführungsbeispielen unter Bezugnahme auf die beigefügten Figuren.Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of embodiments with reference to the accompanying figures.

The hinge is also largely hidden, only a voltage applied to the frame 9 tip of a hinge arm 10 can be seen.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine auseinandergezogene perspektivische Ansicht einer Ecke des Korpus 1 und des Scharnierarms 10. Der Arm 10 ist aus einem hochkant orientierten Streifen kräftigen Blechs geformt und durch zwei in etwa rechte Winkel 11 in drei Abschnitte, einen an dem vorderen Rahmen 9 zu montierenden ersten Endabschnitt 12, einen parallel zu dem Endabschnitt 12 in einem Abstand von dem Rahmen 9 verlaufenden zweiten Endabschnitt 13 und einen Verbindungsabschnitt 14 gegliedert, der die Endabschnitte 12, 13 miteinander verbindet. Der Endabschnitt 13 ist an seinem freien Ende längsgeschlitzt, und Zungen oberhalb und unterhalb des Schlitzes 15 sind zu einer Hülse 16 aufgerollt. Fig. 3 shows an exploded perspective view of a corner of the body 1 and the hinge arm 10. The arm 10 is formed from an upright oriented strip thick plate and by two approximately right angles 11 in three sections, to be mounted on the front frame 9 first end portion 12th , a parallel to the end portion 12 at a distance from the frame 9 extending second end portion 13 and a connecting portion 14 which connects the end portions 12, 13 with each other. The end portion 13 is longitudinally slotted at its free end, and tongues above and below the slot 15 are rolled up into a sleeve 16.

Eine Vertiefung 17 am vorderen Rahmen nimmt den ersten Endabschnitt 12 formschlüssig auf. Am Boden der Vertiefung 17 sind zwei Gewindelöcher 18 zu erkennen, die vorgesehen sind, um (nicht dargestellte) Schrauben aufzunehmen, die sich durch Bohrungen 19 im ersten Endabschnitt 12 erstrecken und diesen in die Vertiefung 17 hineingedrückt halten. Da der Umriss der Vertiefung 17 exakt formschlüssig mit der Form des ersten Endabschnitts 12 zusammenpasst, kann der Arm 10 schnell und ohne Maß zu nehmen an einer exakt vorgegebenen Position des Rahmens 9 befestigt werden. Infolge des formschlüssigen Eingriffs des Endabschnitts 12 in die Vertiefung 17 ist die Genauigkeit der Positionierung auch nicht beeinträchtigt, wenn der Durchmesser der Bohrungen 19 größer ist als der der durch sie verlaufenden Schrauben. Vertiefungen 17 befinden sich an allen vier Ecken des Rahmens 9.A recess 17 on the front frame receives the first end portion 12 in a form-fitting manner. At the bottom of the recess 17 are two threaded holes 18 can be seen, which are provided to receive (not shown) screws extending through holes 19 in the first end portion 12 and hold it pressed into the recess 17. Since the outline of the recess 17 mates exactly form-fitting with the shape of the first end portion 12, the arm 10 can be quickly and without taking dimension attached to a precisely predetermined position of the frame 9. Due to the positive engagement of the end portion 12 in the recess 17, the accuracy of the positioning is not affected if the diameter of the holes 19 is greater than that of the screws passing through them. Recesses 17 are located at all four corners of the frame. 9

Von den zwei Bohrungen 19 des Endabschnitts 12 liegt eine einer kreisrunden Öffnung 21 und die andere dem Schlitz 15 des Endabschnitts 13 gegenüber. Durch die Öffnung 21 bzw. den Schlitz 15 hindurch können jeweils die einzelnen Schrauben in die Bohrungen 19 und die Gewindelöcher 18 eingeführt werden. Zum Befestigen der Schrauben kann auch ein Schraubenzieher oder dgl. die Öffnung 21 bzw. den Schlitz 15 passieren.Of the two holes 19 of the end portion 12 is one of a circular opening 21 and the other the slot 15 of the end portion 13 opposite. Through the opening 21 and the slot 15 through each of the individual screws can be inserted into the holes 19 and the threaded holes 18. To fasten the screws, a screwdriver or the like can also pass through the opening 21 or the slot 15.

In Höhe der Winkel 11 sind zur Versteifung jeweils zwei Sicken 20 in den Arm 10 geprägt.In height of the angle 11 two beads 20 are embossed in the arm 10 for stiffening.

Ein zum Einführen in die Hülse 16 vorgesehener Scharnierbolzen ist mit 22 bezeichnet. Der Scharnierbolzen hat die Form eines zylindrischen Stifts, der durch einen umlaufenden Steg 23 in einen in die Hülse 16 eingreifenden oberen Abschnitt 24 und einen unteren Abschnitt 25 gegliedert ist. Bei dem hier betrachteten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der obere Abschnitt 24 drehfest in den Hülsen 16 aufgenommen, und der untere Abschnitt 25 greift drehbar in eine (nicht dargestellte) Scharnierhülse der Tür 2 ein. Denkbar wäre aber auch, den Scharnierbolzen 22 in der Tür drehfest zu verankern und in den Hülsen 16 drehbar zu machen, oder eine Drehbarkeit des Scharnierbolzens 22 sowohl gegenüber dem Arm 10 als auch der Tür 2 zuzulassen.A provided for insertion into the sleeve 16 hinge pin is designated 22. The hinge pin is in the form of a cylindrical pin, which is divided by a circumferential ridge 23 in an engaging in the sleeve 16 upper portion 24 and a lower portion 25. In the embodiment considered here, the upper portion 24 rotatably received in the sleeves 16, and the lower portion 25 rotatably engages in a (not shown) hinge sleeve of the door 2 a. It would also be conceivable, however, to anchor the hinge pin 22 in the door in a rotationally fixed manner and to turn it in the sleeves 16, or to allow a rotation of the hinge pin 22 both relative to the arm 10 and the door 2.

Fig. 4 zeigt einen horizontalen Schnitt durch die obere rechte Ecke des Korpus 1 und der Tür 2 in Höhe des Arms 10. Das Abschlussstück 5 weist an seiner dem Rahmen 9 zugewandten Rückseite eine geräumige Aussparung 26 auf, in die der Arm 10 eingreift. Der Arm 10 begrenzt eine Ausnehmung 27, die zu der Seitenfläche 4 hin offen ist. Eine Seitenwand 28 des Abschlussstücks 5 verläuft vor der Ausnehmung 27 her und ist im wesentlichen bündig mit der Seitenfläche 4. Fig. 4 shows a horizontal section through the upper right corner of the body 1 and the door 2 at the level of the arm 10. The end piece 5 has on its the frame 9 facing the back of a spacious recess 26, in which the arm 10 engages. The arm 10 defines a recess 27 which is open to the side surface 4. A side wall 28 of the end piece 5 extends in front of the recess 27 and is substantially flush with the side surface 4th

Der Abstand zwischen dem vorderen Rahmen 9 und dem ihm zugewandten Ende 29 der Seitenwand 28 ist so gewählt, dass, wenn die Tür 2 um die von dem Scharnierbolzen 22 definierte Achse in die in Fig. 5 gezeigte Stellung aufgeschwenkt wird, auf seiner durch einen Pfeil 30 bezeichneten Bahn soeben nicht den Rahmen 9 berührt. In der aufgeschwenkten Stellung greift die Seitenwand 28 tief in die Ausnehmung 27 des Arms ein. Maximale Öffnungswinkel der Tür von weit über 90 Grad sind mit der in den Fig. gezeigten Geometrie ohne weiteres erreichbar. Noch größere Öffnungswinkel sind realisierbar, wenn der Endabschnitt 13 nicht geradlinig, wie in den Figuren gezeigt, sondern nach vorn gewölbt ausgeführt ist.The distance between the front frame 9 and the end 29 facing it of the side wall 28 is selected so that when the door 2 about the axis defined by the hinge pin 22 in the in Fig. 5 shown pivoted on his designated by an arrow 30 track just does not touch the frame 9. In the swung-open position, the side wall 28 engages deeply into the recess 27 of the arm. Maximum opening angles of the door of well over 90 degrees are readily achievable with the geometry shown in the figures. Even larger opening angles can be realized if the end section 13 is not rectilinear, as shown in the figures, but is curved toward the front.

Fig. 6 zeigt einen vertikalen Schnitt durch den oberen Bereich der Tür 2 in Höhe der Linie VI-VI aus Fig. 5. Das Abschlussstück 5 ist hier aus zwei Formteilen, einem unteren Teil 31 und einem oberen Teil 32 zusammengefügt. Das obere Teil 32 ist im wesentlichen plattenförmig mit an seiner Unterseite abstehenden Verankerungsstiften 33, die reibschlüssig in Sacklöcher 34 des unteren Teils 31 eingreifen. Das untere Teil 31 hat eine Bodenplatte 38, die den mit (in der Fig. nicht gezeigtem) Isolierschaum ausgefüllten Hohlraum 35 des Mittelstücks 7 abschließt. Vorder- und Rückwand 36, 37 des Mittelstücks 7 liegen an einem von der Bodenplatte 38 abstehenden Steg 39 an. Eine Scharnierhülse 40, die den unteren Abschnitt 25 des Scharnierbolzens 22 aufnimmt, ist einteilig in der Bodenplatte 38 ausgeformt und greift in den Hohlraum 35 des Mittelstücks 7 ein. Fig. 6 shows a vertical section through the upper portion of the door 2 at the level of the line VI-VI Fig. 5 , The end piece 5 is here assembled from two molded parts, a lower part 31 and an upper part 32. The upper part 32 is substantially plate-shaped with protruding on its underside anchoring pins 33 which engage frictionally engaged in blind holes 34 of the lower part 31. The lower part 31 has a bottom plate 38 which closes the hollow space 35 of the middle piece 7 which is filled with insulating foam (not shown in the figure). Front and rear wall 36, 37 of the center piece 7 abut against a web 39 protruding from the bottom plate 38. A hinge sleeve 40, which receives the lower portion 25 of the hinge pin 22, is integrally formed in the bottom plate 38 and engages in the cavity 35 of the center piece 7 a.

Die Aussparung 26 erstreckt sich über die gesamte Breite der Tür, von der einen Seitenwand 28 des Abschlussstücks 5 zur spiegelsymmetrisch gegenüberliegenden. Benachbart zu dieser gegenüberliegenden Seitenwand ist eine zweite, nicht gezeigte Scharnierhülse 40 ausgeformt, um einen Anschlagwechsel der Tür zu ermöglichen.The recess 26 extends over the entire width of the door, from the one side wall 28 of the end piece 5 to the mirror-symmetrically opposite. Adjacent to this opposite side wall, a second, not shown, hinge sleeve 40 is formed to allow a stop change of the door.

Fig. 7 zeigt eine leicht abgewandelte Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Kühlschranks mit offener Tür 2. Hier erstreckt sich eine Arbeitsplatte 41 oberhalb der Tür, und in geschlossener Stellung der Tür 2 ist der vordere Rand der Arbeitsplatte 41 bündig mit der Außenseite des oberen Abschlussstücks 5. Aussparungen 26, von denen eine einen Scharnierarm aufnimmt, sind hier jeweils symmetrisch zueinander an den Seiten des Abschlussstücks 5 gebildet und voneinander durch einen hohlen Block 42 getrennt. Der Block 42 kann nach unten, zum Hohlraum des Mittelstücks 7 hin, offen sein, so dass er beim Ausfüllen des Mittelstücks7 mit Isolierschaum mit ausgefüllt wird und zur Isolation des Kühlschranks beiträgt. Da zwischen der Oberkante der Tür 2 und der Arbeitsplatte 41 kein Zwischenraum benötigt wird, um darin ein Scharnier unterzubringen, kann der Abstand zwischen beiden sehr gering gemacht werden. Fig. 7 Here is a worktop 41 above the door, and in the closed position of the door 2, the front edge of the worktop 41 is flush with the outside of the upper end piece 5. recesses 26, of one of which receives a hinge arm, here are each formed symmetrically to each other on the sides of the end piece 5 and separated from each other by a hollow block 42. The block 42 may be downwardly, to the cavity of the center piece 7, open, so that it is filled when filling the middle piece 7 with Isolierschaum with and contributes to the isolation of the refrigerator. Since no gap is needed between the upper edge of the door 2 and the work surface 41 to accommodate a hinge therein, the distance between the two can be made very small.
