Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät mit Fachböden, die an einer im Korpus des Kältegerätes fest montierten durchbrochenen Schiene aufgehängt sind. Ein solches Kältegerät ist aus DE 10 2004 021 857 A1 bekannt.The present invention relates to a refrigeration device with shelves, which are suspended from a perforated rail permanently mounted in the body of the refrigerator. Such a refrigeration device is off DE 10 2004 021 857 A1 known.

Die US 5 454 638 A offenbart ein Kältegerät mit vertikalen Schienen, die zum Einhängen von Fachböden oder Fachbodenträgern mit Durchbrüchen versehen sind. Hierbei ist der Fachbodenträger mit einem oberen Haken versehen, dessen Hakenende an der Rückseite der Schiene anliegt. Gemäß einer Ausführung besitzt der Träger einen unteren Haken, dessen Hakenende die Rückseite der Schiene nicht berührt. Hierbei ist der untere Haken an seiner Oberseite derart ausgebildet, dass er am oberen Lochrand des Durchbruchs anliegt und somit ein Herausheben verhindert.The US 5,454,638 A discloses a refrigerator with vertical rails, which are provided for hanging shelves or shelf supports with openings. Here, the shelf support is provided with an upper hook, the hook end rests against the back of the rail. According to one embodiment, the carrier has a lower hook whose hook end does not touch the back of the rail. Here, the lower hook is formed on its upper side so that it rests against the upper edge of the hole and thus prevents lifting out.

Die US 5 769 520 und auch die JP 8 054 179 A offenbart ein Kältegerät mit einer Schiene, die mit zwei übereinanderliegenden Reihen Durchbrüchen versehen ist. Ein Fachboden ist an seiner Rückseite mit zwei übereinander liegenden Hakenreihen versehen, die nach dem Einsetzen in die Durchbrüche ragen, wobei die Hakenenden der oberen Haken und der unteren Haken an der Rückseite der Schiene zum Anliegen kommen.The US 5,769,520 and also the JP 8 054 179 A discloses a refrigerator with a rail which is provided with two superposed rows of openings. A shelf is provided on its back with two superimposed rows of hooks that protrude into the openings after insertion, the hook ends of the upper hook and the lower hook come to rest on the back of the rail.

Die Aufhängung von Fachböden an einer derartigen Schiene hat den Vorteil, dass die Innenbehälterwände des Kältegerätes weitgehend eben und damit reinigungsfreundlich gestaltet werden können. Ein Problem ist jedoch, dass in die Schienen eingehängte Fachbodenträger dazu neigen, sich nach längerem Gebrauch nicht mehr ohne Weiteres von den Schienen zu lösen, sei es, weil sie aufgrund von Fertigungstoleranzen aneinander festklemmen, oder weil sie durch angesammelte Rückstände miteinander verklebt oder einfach festgefroren sind.The suspension of shelves on such a rail has the advantage that the inner container walls of the refrigerator can be made largely flat and thus easy to clean. One problem, however, is that shelf supports suspended in the rails tend not to readily disengage from the rails after prolonged use, either because they are stuck together due to manufacturing tolerances, or because they are glued together by accumulated debris or simply frozen are.

Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, ein Kältegerät der eingangs angegebenen Art so weiterzubilden, dass ein leichtes Lösen der Fachbodenträger von der Schiene jederzeit gewährleistet ist.The aim of the present invention is to develop a refrigeration device of the type described above so that a slight release of the shelf supports is guaranteed by the rail at any time.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Kältegerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.The object is achieved by a refrigeration device having the features of claim 1.

Diese Gestaltung gewährleistet, dass der Fachbodenträger nicht nur durch Anheben und anschließendes Herausziehen aus den Durchbrüchen von der Schiene gelöst werden kann, sondern dass im eingehängten Zustand auch eine geringe Schwenkbewegungsfreiheit besteht, durch die eventuelle Verkrustungen zwischen Schiene und Fachbodenträger leicht aufgebrochen werden können.This design ensures that the shelf support can be solved not only by lifting and then pulling out of the openings of the rail, but that in the suspended state, a small swing motion freedom exists, can be easily broken by the possible encrustations between rail and shelf support.

Um die Schwenkbeweglichkeit des Kühlgutträgers zu verbessern, weist die Rückenflanke zwischen ihrem die Schienen berührenden Abschnitt und dem unteren Haken eine Freisparung auf.In order to improve the pivoting mobility of the refrigerated goods carrier, the back edge has a cutout between its rail contacting portion and the lower hook.

Die Aufgabe wird auch dadurch gelöst, dass der untere Haken auf dem unteren Rand eines von ihm durchsetzten Durchbruches aufliegt, während der obere Haken in einem Abstand von dem unteren Rand des von ihm durchsetzten Durchbruches verläuft. Der Abstand zwischen dem unteren Rand des Durchbruches und dem oberen Haken verhindert ein Aneinanderkleben, was das Lösen des Fachbodenträgers von der Schiene sowohl durch Anheben unter Beibehaltung seiner Orientierung als auch ein das Anheben vorbereitendes Schwenken erleichtert.The object is also achieved in that the lower hook rests on the lower edge of a breakthrough penetrated by him, while the upper hook extends at a distance from the lower edge of the breakthrough penetrated by him. The distance between the lower edge of the aperture and the upper hook prevents sticking together, which facilitates the release of the shelf support from the rail both by lifting while maintaining its orientation and a lifting preparatory to pivoting.

Um Fehler beim Einhängen des Fachbodenträgers in die Schiene zu verhindern, ist der Abstand zwischen einem oberen Rand des unteren Hakens und einem unteren Ende der Rückenflanke vorzugsweise größer als die Höhe der Durchbrüche.To prevent errors when mounting the shelf support in the rail, the distance between an upper edge of the lower hook and a lower end of the back edge is preferably greater than the height of the openings.

Der Fachbodenträger ist preiswert realisierbar, indem eine die Haken umfassende Platte aus Metall und ein die Platte formschlüssig umgreifendes Element aus Kunststoff gefertigt werden. Das Kunststoffelement kann mit einem eine Platte des Fachbodens einfassenden Rahmen einteilig verschmolzen sein.The shelf support is inexpensive realizable by a metal plate comprising the hooks and an element made of plastic which encloses the plate in a form-fitting manner. The plastic element may be integrally fused to a frame enclosing a plate of the shelf.

Um dem Kunststoffelement eine hohe Stabilität zu verleihen, hat dieses vorzugsweise eine die Metallplatte berührende Grundplatte und von der Grundplatte abstehende, Ränder der Metallplatte umgreifende Rippen.In order to give the plastic element a high stability, this preferably has a base plate contacting the metal plate and ribs projecting from the base plate and encompassing edges of the metal plate.

Indem die Platte an einer einer Seitenwand des Korpus zugewandten Seite der Grundplatte angebracht ist, ist sie im Kältegerät praktisch nicht sichtbar, so dass allein das Kunststoffelement das Erscheinungsbild des Fachbodenträgers bestimmt und an die Oberflächenqualität der Metallplatte keine hohen Anforderungen gestellt werden müssen. Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung von Ausführungsbeispielen unter Bezugnahme auf die beigefügten Figuren. Es zeigen:

By the plate is mounted on a side wall of the body facing side of the base plate, it is practically not visible in the refrigerator, so that only the plastic element determines the appearance of the shelf support and the surface quality of the metal plate no high demands. Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of embodiments with reference to the accompanying figures. Show it:

Der in Fig. 1 teilweise aufgebrochen gezeigte Kältegerätekorpus 1 umfasst in an sich bekannter Weise eine aus festen Elementen wie etwa Blechzuschnitten zusammengefügte Außenhaut 2 und einen Innenbehälter 3, die mit isolierendem Schaummaterial ausgefüllte Wände 4, 5 begrenzen. An der Rückwand 5 sind im Innenbehälter 3 zwei vertikale Nuten 12 gebildet, die sich über die gesamte Höhe des Innenraumes erstrecken und in die im Querschnitt rechteckige, hohle Trägerschienen 6 eingefügt sind.The in Fig. 1 Partially broken shown refrigerator unit 1 comprises in a conventional manner an assembled from solid elements such as sheet metal blanks outer skin 2 and an inner container 3, the walls filled with insulating foam material 4, 5 limit. On the rear wall 5, two vertical grooves 12 are formed in the inner container 3, which extend over the entire height of the inner space and are inserted into the rectangular cross-section, hollow support rails 6.

Fig. 2 zeigt einen horizontalen Schnitt durch eine der Trägerschienen 6 entlang einer Ebene oberhalb eines in die Trägerschiene 6 eingehängten Tragarmes 10. Die Trägerschienen 6 umfassen jeweils ein Außenprofil 7 von in etwa C-förmigem Querschnitt, wobei die offene Seite des C-Profils dem Innenraum des Korpus 1 zugewandt ist, sowie eine Leiste 8, die in zwei einander zugewandten Nuten der Schenkel des Außenprofils 7 vertikal verschiebbar geführt ist. Die Leiste 8 ist in regelmäßigen Abständen mit Durchbrüchen 9 versehen, von denen einer in dem Schnitt der Fig. 2 gezeigt ist. Der fragmentarisch in Draufsicht gezeigte Tragarm 10 greift in andere, tieferliegende Durchbrüche 9 der Leiste 8 ein. Fig. 2 shows a horizontal section through one of the support rails 6 along a plane above a suspended in the support rail 6 support arm 10. The support rails 6 each comprise an outer profile 7 of approximately C-shaped cross-section, wherein the open side of the C-profile to the interior of the body 1, and a strip 8, which is guided vertically displaceably in two mutually facing grooves of the legs of the outer profile 7. The strip 8 is provided at regular intervals with openings 9, one of which in the section of Fig. 2 is shown. The support arm 10, shown fragmentarily in plan view, engages in other lower openings 9 of the strip 8.

Während sich das Außenprofil 7 über die gesamte Höhe des Innenbehälters 3 erstreckt, ist die Leiste 8 geringfügig kürzer. Wie in der Frontalansicht des oberen Bereiches der Trägerschiene 6 in Fig. 3 zu sehen, reicht die Leiste 8 nicht bis ans obere Ende des Außenprofils 7 heran. Daher ist die Leiste 8 im Außenprofil 7 vertikal verschiebbar und kann in eine Stellung angehoben werden, in der eine das Außenprofil 7 an der Rückwand 5 des Korpus 1 verankernde Schraube 11, die in Fig. 3, weil von der Leiste 8 verdeckt, gestrichelt dargestellt ist, durch einen der Durchbrüche 9 hindurch zugänglich ist. Wenn das Kältegerät fertig montiert und betriebsbereit ist, sind die Schrauben 11 beider Trägerschienen 6 jeweils hinter den Leisten 8 verborgen; dennoch sind sie durch Verschieben der Leisten 8 leicht zugänglich, wenn es erforderlich sein sollte, eine der Trägerschienen 6 auszubauen.While the outer profile 7 extends over the entire height of the inner container 3, the bar 8 is slightly shorter. As in the frontal view of the upper portion of the support rail 6 in Fig. 3 to see the bar 8 does not reach to the upper end of the outer profile 7 zoom. Therefore, the bar 8 in the outer profile 7 is vertically displaceable and can be raised to a position in which an outer profile 7 anchored to the rear wall 5 of the body 1 screw 11, the in Fig. 3 because hidden by the bar 8, shown in phantom, is accessible through one of the openings 9 therethrough. When the refrigerator is fully assembled and ready for use, the screws 11 of both carrier rails 6 are each hidden behind the strips 8; Nevertheless, they are easily accessible by moving the strips 8, if it should be necessary to remove one of the support rails 6.

Die Tragarme 10 eines Fachbodens 12 können als jeweils getrennt voneinander in die Trägerschienen 6 einhängbare Elemente ausgeführt sein, die sich über einen Großteil der Tiefe des Innenbehälters 3 erstrecken, so dass der Fachboden 12 lose darauf aufgelegt werden kann, wie in der Darstellung der Fig. 1 angedeutet.The support arms 10 of a shelf 12 can be designed as each separately suspended in the support rails 6 elements that extend over a majority of the depth of the inner container 3, so that the shelf 12 can be loosely placed on it, as shown in the Fig. 1 indicated.

Einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung zufolge sind die Tragarme 10 wie in Fig. 2, 4 und 5 gezeigt, mit einem eine Bodenplatte 14 eines Fachbodens 12 einfassenden Rahmen 13 zu einer funktionellen Einheit verschmolzen. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung umfasst der Rahmen 13 vier aus Kunststoffspritzguss oder Aluminiumdruckguss geformte Streben, zwei in Breitenrichtung des Korpus verlaufende Querstreben, von denen eine hintere 15 teilweise in Fig. 2 und Fig. 5 zu sehen ist, sowie zwei Längsstreben 16, von denen die linke teilweise in Fig. 2 und Fig. 5 zu sehen ist. Die Quer- und Längsstreben 15, 16 können zusammengefügt oder einteilig um die Bodenplatte 14 herum angeformt sein.According to a preferred embodiment, the support arms 10 are as in Fig. 2 . 4 and 5 shown merged with a bottom plate 14 of a shelf 12 enclosing frame 13 to a functional unit. In this embodiment, the frame 13 comprises four molded plastic injection molding or die-cast aluminum struts, two extending in the width direction of the body cross struts, of which a rear 15 partially in Fig. 2 and Fig. 5 can be seen, as well as two longitudinal struts 16, of which the left partially in Fig. 2 and Fig. 5 you can see. The transverse and longitudinal struts 15, 16 may be joined together or integrally formed around the bottom plate 14 around.

Fig. 6 und Fig. 7 zeigen jeweils einen Schnitt durch die linke Längsstrebe 16 in einer in Fig. 5 mit VI-VI bezeichneten vertikalen Ebene bzw. einer mit VII-VII bezeichneten horizontalen Ebene. Die Längsstrebe 16 hat in ihrem hinteren Bereich eine großflächige, vertikal orientierte Grundplatte 17, von der auf einer Seite zwei Rippen 18 abstehen, die eine den Rand der Bodenplatte 14 aufnehmende Nut begrenzen. Zwei auf der entgegengesetzten Seite der Grundplatte 17 abstehende Stege 19 fassen formschlüssig eine im vorliegenden Fall aus Edelstahl gebildete Metallplatte 20 ein, an deren Rückenflanke 21 zwei abwärts gekrümmte Haken 22, 23 überstehen. Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 each show a section through the left longitudinal strut 16 in an in Fig. 5 VI-VI vertical plane, or a horizontal plane labeled VII-VII. The longitudinal strut 16 has in its rear region a large, vertically oriented base plate 17, protrude from the one side of two ribs 18 which define a the edge of the bottom plate 14 receiving groove. Two on the opposite sides of the base plate 17 projecting webs 19 form-fit a formed in the present case of stainless steel plate 20, on the back edge 21, two downwardly curved hooks 22, 23 survive.

Die Stahlplatte 20 ist an der Grundplatte 17 mit Hilfe einer Schraube 24 fixiert, die die Stahlplatte 20 und die Grundplatte 17 durchsetzt und in einem Gewinde der hinteren Querstrebe 15 eingreift. Durch die Schraubverbindung einerseits und die formschlüssige Einfassung der Ränder der Stahlplatte 20 durch die Stege 19 andererseits wird eine belastbare Verbindung zwischen der Stahlplatte 20 und der Längsstrebe 16 geschaffen.The steel plate 20 is fixed to the base plate 17 by means of a screw 24 which passes through the steel plate 20 and the base plate 17 and engages in a thread of the rear cross member 15. By the screw connection on the one hand and the form-fitting enclosure of the edges of the steel plate 20 through the webs 19 on the other hand, a resilient connection between the steel plate 20 and the longitudinal strut 16 is provided.

Die Haken 22, 23 sind vorgesehen, um in Durchbrüche 9 der Leiste 8 einer der Trägerschienen 6 einzugreifen. Wie die Detaildarstellung der Fig. 4 zeigt, sind die Haken 22, 23 von unterschiedlicher Gestalt, und die Rückenflanke 21 liegt nicht auf ihrer gesamten Länge an der Leiste 8 an. Vielmehr hält sie in einem zwischen den Haken 22, 23 liegenden Abschnitt einen Abstand von wenigstens ca. 0,4 mm von der Leiste 8 ein und berührt diese lediglich in einem unterhalb des unteren Hakens 23 liegenden Abschnitt 25. Der untere Haken 23 hat eine horizontale Unterkante 26, die auf dem Rand eines Durchbruches 9 ruht. Eine entsprechende Unterkante 26 des oberen Hakens 22 ist vom unteren Rand des von diesem Haken durchgriffenen Durchbruchs 9 beabstandet. Lediglich ein abwärts gerichtetes freies Hakenende 27 des oberen Hakens 22 liegt an der Rückseite der Leiste 8 an. Diese drei Berührungspunkte zwischen Tragarm und Leiste 8 genügen, um das Gewicht des Fachbodens und darauf abgestellter Gegenstände sowie ein dadurch verursachtes Drehmoment aufzufangen.The hooks 22, 23 are provided to engage in openings 9 of the strip 8 of one of the support rails 6. Like the detail of the Fig. 4 shows, the hooks 22, 23 are of different shape, and the back flank 21 does not lie on the strip 8 over its entire length. Rather, it holds in a lying between the hooks 22, 23 section a distance of at least about 0.4 mm from the bar 8 and touches them only in a lying below the lower hook 23 section 25. The lower hook 23 has a horizontal Bottom edge 26 which rests on the edge of a breakthrough 9. A corresponding lower edge 26 of the upper hook 22 is spaced from the lower edge of the opening 9 penetrated by this hook. Only a downward free hook end 27 of the upper hook 22 abuts against the back of the bar 8. These three points of contact between the support arm and bar 8 are sufficient to absorb the weight of the shelf and items parked thereon and a torque caused thereby.

Die von den Haken 22, 23 begrenzten, nach unten offenen Aussparungen, in die die Leiste 8 eingreift, sind deutlich breiter, als der Materialstärke der Leiste 8 entspricht. An beiden Haken 22, 23 sind jeweils Freisparungen 28 an der Rückenflanke 21 gebildet, die es erlauben, den Tragarm jeweils vor dem Aushängen aus der Trägerschiene 6 geringfügig im Gegenuhrzeigersinn, entgegen dem Drehmoment einer auf dem Fachboden ruhenden Last, zu schwenken und so eventuelle Verkrustungen zwischen Tragarm und Trägerschiene zu lösen bzw. Verklemmungen aufzuheben. Auch die Tatsache, dass die Tragarme mit dem Fachboden zu einer in sich starren Einheit verschmolzen sind, verringert die Gefahr eines Festklemmens.The limited by the hooks 22, 23, downwardly open recesses into which the bar 8 engages are significantly wider than the thickness of the strip 8 corresponds. On both hooks 22, 23 recesses 28 are respectively formed on the trailing edge 21, which allow the arm each before hanging out of the support rail 6 slightly counterclockwise, against the torque of a resting on the shelf load to pivot and so possible encrustations between support arm and carrier rail to solve or suspend jamming. The fact that the support arms are merged with the shelf in a self-rigid unit, reduces the risk of jamming.

Um ein fehlerhaftes Einhängen des Tragarms an der Leiste zu verhindern, ist der Abstand zwischen einem oberen Rand 29 des Hakens 23 und einer unteren Ecke 30 des Abschnitts 25 größer als die Höhe der Durchbrüche 9. So können der Haken 23 und die untere Ecke 30 nicht gleichzeitig in einen Durchbruch 9 eingesteckt werden.To prevent erroneous mounting of the support arm on the bar, the distance between an upper edge 29 of the hook 23 and a lower corner 30 of the portion 25 is greater than the height of the apertures 9. Thus, the hook 23 and the lower corner 30 not be plugged into a breakthrough 9 simultaneously.

Claims (5)
