This consists in the present embodiment of glass, but is also the Ein set of other materials conceivable. It is also possible to carry out the support floor as a rust.
Unmittelbar unterhalb des Tragbodens 10 befindet sich der Eiswürfelbereiter 20, der mittels einer Halterung an dem Tragboden 10 befestigt ist. Diese Halterung besteht in dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 1 aus die Rückseite des Tragbodens 10 umgreifenden Laschen 22, die einstückig mit dem Eiswürfelbereiter 20 ausgeführt sind. Wie dies aus Figur 1 und insbesondere aus der Detaildarstellung gemäß Figur 3 hervorgeht, übergreifen die Laschen 22 die Oberseite des Tragbodens 10. Zwischen den Laschen 22 und einer darunterliegenden Fläche oder Kante des Eiswürfelbereiters 20 existiert eine Nut 23, in die ein Abschnitt des rückwärtigen Bereichs des Tragbodens 10 eingesteckt ist, wie dies beispielsweise aus Figur 3 hervorgeht.Immediately below the tray 10 is the ice cube maker 20 which is secured by means of a bracket to the support floor 10. This holder consists in the embodiment of Figure 1 from the back of the support base 10 encompassing tabs 22, which are integral with the ice cube maker 20 are executed. As can be seen from FIG. 1 and in particular from the detailed illustration according to FIG. 3, the tabs 22 overlap the upper side of the support bottom 10. Between the tabs 22 and an underlying surface or edge of the ice cube maker 20, there is a groove 23 into which a portion of the rear region the support base 10 is inserted, as can be seen for example in FIG.
Der Eiswürfelbereiter 20 ist gemäß dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 1 des weiteren über ein Halteteil 40 gesichert, das im Querschnitt im wesentlichen U-förmig ausgeführt ist und mit seinen Schenkeln zum einen den Tragboden 10 und zum anderen einen Teil des Eiswürfelbereiters 20 umgreift, wie dies beispielsweise in Figur 1 dargestellt ist.The ice cube maker 20 is further secured according to the embodiment of Figure 1 via a holding part 40, which is designed in cross-section substantially U-shaped and with his legs on the one hand the support base 10 and the other part of the ice cube maker 20, as for example is shown in FIG.

Figur 2 zeigt eine alternative Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Tragbodens 10. In diesem Fall besteht die Halterung ebenfalls aus den bereits zu Figur 1 beschriebenen Laschen 22 und des weiteren aus einer Schraubverbindung zwischen Tragboden 10 und Eiswürfelbereiter 20. Hierzu ist in dem zum Benutzer gerichteten vorderen Bereich des Tragbodens 10 eine Schraube 30 vorgesehen, die den Eiswürfelbereiter 20 an dem Tragboden 10 fixiert. Auch in dieser Ausführungs- form ist der Eiswürfelbereiter 20 somit an mehreren Positionen an dem Tragboden 10 befestigt.FIG. 2 shows an alternative embodiment of the support floor 10 according to the invention. In this case, the support likewise consists of the tabs 22 already described for FIG. 1 and furthermore of a screw connection between the support floor 10 and the ice cube maker 20. For this purpose, in the front area of the user facing Support tray 10, a screw 30 is provided which fixes the ice cube maker 20 to the support floor 10. Also in this embodiment form the ice cube maker 20 is thus secured to the support base 10 at a plurality of positions.
Wie dies aus den Figuren 1 und 2 hervorgeht, ist die Halterung derart ausgeführt, dass der Eiswürfelbereiter unter dem Tragboden 10 bzw. der Glasplatte hängend angeordnet ist, wobei er im hinteren Bereich ohne zusätzliche Befestigungsmittel gehalten und positioniert ist. Dort besteht die Halterung aus den genannten Laschen 22, die einen integralen Bestandteil des rückseitigen Bereichs des Eiswürfelbereiters 20 bilden können. Auf der Frontseite ist die Positionierung ebenfalls formgebunden. Hier erfolgt die Befestigung des Eiswürfelbereiters 20 mittels einer Schraube 30 oder mittels einer Klemmverbindung über ein Halteteil 40, das in dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel eine Mehrfachfunktion ausführt, wie dies unten noch näher erläutert wird.As can be seen from Figures 1 and 2, the holder is designed such that the ice cube maker is arranged under the support floor 10 and the glass plate hanging, where it is held and positioned in the rear area without additional fastening means. There, the holder consists of said tabs 22, which can form an integral part of the rear region of the ice cube maker 20. On the front, the positioning is also formal. Here, the attachment of the ice cube maker 20 by means of a screw 30 or by means of a clamping connection via a holding part 40, which performs a multiple function in the present embodiment, as will be explained in more detail below.
Wie dies aus Figur 1 hervorgeht, wird das Halteteil 40 von vorne mit dem Eiswürfelbereiter 20 und dem Tragboden 10 derart verrastet, dass der Eiswürfelbereiter 20 und der Tragboden 10 miteinander verklemmt werden. Vorzugsweise ist dabei vorgesehen, dass eine Demontage des Eiswürfelbereiters 20 bzw. des Halteteils 40 ohne die Zuhilfenahme von Werkzeug nicht möglich ist.As is apparent from Figure 1, the holding member 40 is locked from the front with the ice cube maker 20 and the support base 10 such that the ice cube maker 20 and the support base 10 are clamped together. Preferably, it is provided that disassembly of the ice cube maker 20 and the holding member 40 without the aid of tools is not possible.
Im Halteteil 40 befindet sich ein Reedkontakt 42, wie dies aus Figur 4 hervorgeht, die das Halteteil 40 von der zum Eiswürfelbereiter 20 gewandten Innenseite zeigt. Der Reedkontakt 42 dient zur Schubladenabfrage. Aus dem Stand der Technik ist es bekannt, den Reedkontakt hinter der Blende im Eiswürfelbereiter selbst anzuordnen. Gemäß diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist nun vorgesehen, dass die Positionierung des Reedkontaktes 42 außerhalb des Eiswürfelbereiters 20 erfolgt. Über eine geeignete Signalleitung steht der Reedkontakt 42 mit einer Elektronikplatine in Verbindung. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass das Verbindungskabel zwischen Reedkontakt 42 und Elektronikplatine mit einer lösbaren Steckverbindung ausgerüstet ist.In the holding part 40 is a reed contact 42, as can be seen from Figure 4, which shows the holding part 40 of the ice cube maker 20 facing inside. The reed contact 42 serves for drawer query. From the prior art it is known to arrange the reed contact behind the panel in the ice cube maker itself. According to this embodiment, it is now provided that the positioning of the reed contact 42 takes place outside the ice cube maker 20. Via a suitable signal line, the reed contact 42 is connected to an electronic board. It is envisaged that the connection cable between reed contact 42 and electronic board is equipped with a detachable plug connection.
Eine derartige Ausgestaltung der Erfindung gilt nicht nur für das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 1 , sondern auch für das gemäß Figur 2. In diesem Fall wird der Reedkontakt über eine gleichartige Steckverbindung im Frontbereich des Eiswürfelbereiters 20 positioniert. Aus Figur 2 ist des weiteren erkennbar, dass der Frontbereich des Eiswürfelbereiters geringfügig die Unterseite des Tragbodens 10 überragt, so dass dieser auch durch die Frontseite des Eiswürfelbereiters 20 formschlüssig gesichert ist.Such an embodiment of the invention applies not only to the embodiment of Figure 1, but also for that according to Figure 2. In this case, the Reed contact via a similar connector in the front of the ice cube maker 20 is positioned. It can also be seen from FIG. 2 that the front region of the ice cube maker projects slightly beyond the underside of the support base 10, so that it is also secured in a form-fitting manner by the front side of the ice cube maker 20.
Wie dies aus Figur 5 hervorgeht, kann der Tragboden 10 gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung ohne weiteres auf einer Rippe 110 des Innenbehälters 100 eines Gefrier- schrankes oder sonstigen Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerätes angeordnet werden. Bei entsprechend variabler Anordnung des Wasserzulaufs ist es auch möglich, den Tragboden 10 an unterschiedlichen Positionen im Gerät anzuordnen. Grundsätzlich kann ebenfalls daran gedacht werden, den Eiswürfelbereiter 20 vom Tragboden 10 lösbar anzuordnen, um diesen gegebenenfalls an einen anderen Tragboden 10 anzuordnen, sofern dies der Wasserzulauf ermöglicht.As can be seen from FIG. 5, the support floor 10 according to the present invention can be readily arranged on a rib 110 of the inner container 100 of a freezer or other refrigerator and / or freezer. With a correspondingly variable arrangement of the water inlet, it is also possible to arrange the support floor 10 at different positions in the device. In principle, it can also be considered to detachably arrange the ice cube maker 20 from the support base 10 in order, if appropriate, to arrange it on another support base 10, provided that this is enabled by the water supply.
In jedem Fall kann mit geringem Aufwand die Eiswürfelbereiterposition im Gerät gewählt werden, so dass auch Gerätevarianten gegebenenfalls mit unterschiedlicher Schubladeneinteilung möglich sind.In any case, the Eiswürfelbereiterposition can be selected in the device with little effort, so that device variants are possibly possible with different drawer division.
Aus Figur 6 und 7 ist ein Schutz gegen das unbefugte Ausbauen des Tragbodehs 10 mit Eiswürfelbereiter 20 ersichtlich. In beiden Fällen wird der Tragboden 10 gegen die Entnahme aus der Aufnahmegeometrie im Innenbehälter gesichert. Vorzugsweise ist dabei vorgesehen, dass der Ausbau der Sicherung und damit der Ausbau des Tragbodens 10 nicht ohne Werkzeug möglich ist.From Figure 6 and 7, a protection against unauthorized removal of the Tragbodehs 10 with ice cube maker 20 can be seen. In both cases, the support base 10 is secured against removal from the receiving geometry in the inner container. Preferably, it is provided that the expansion of the fuse and thus the expansion of the support floor 10 is not possible without tools.
Figur 6 zeigt eine Ausführungsform, bei der der Tragboden 10 mit einem Abschnitt des Innenbehälters verklemmt ist. Dazu ist vorgesehen, dass ein Sicherungselement 60 eingefügt wird, das auf seiner Unterseite eben auf dem Tragboden 10 aufliegt und in einem oberen Bereich in einer Ausnehmung 120 am Innenbehälter aufgenommen ist. Dieses Sicherungselement 60 ist derart ausgeführt, dass es seitlich in die entsprechende Ausnehmung 120 im Innenbehälter 100 eingesteckt wird. Das Sicherungselement 60 weist zwei zumindest teilweise plattenförmige Bereiche auf, von denen einer (61) auf dem Tragboden 10 aufliegt und der andere (62) an der Ausnehmung 120 anliegt. Die beiden plattenförmigen Bereiche 61 , 62 erstrecken sich beispielsweise parallel oder im wesentlichen parallel zum Tragboden 10. Sie sind durch einen Abschnitt 63 miteinander verbunden, der senkrecht oder im Winkel zum Tragboden 10 verläuft und zum Innenraum des Gerätes gerichtet ist.Figure 6 shows an embodiment in which the support base 10 is clamped to a portion of the inner container. For this purpose, it is provided that a securing element 60 is inserted, which rests flat on its bottom on the support base 10 and is received in an upper region in a recess 120 on the inner container. This securing element 60 is designed such that it is inserted laterally into the corresponding recess 120 in the inner container 100. The securing element 60 has two at least partially plate-shaped regions, of which one (61) rests on the support base 10 and the other (62) rests against the recess 120. The two plate-shaped portions 61, 62 extend, for example, parallel or substantially parallel to the support base 10. They are connected by a portion 63 which extends perpendicular or at an angle to the support base 10 and is directed to the interior of the device.
Figur 7 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel, bei dem ein Sicherungselement 70 vorgesehen ist, das nicht unmittelbar auf den Tragboden 10 einwirkt, sondern auf die Halteleiste 50, die mit dem Tragboden 10 in Verbindung steht. Dieses Sicherungselement 70 wird von vorne zwischen einer Rippe 110 des Innenbehälters 100 des Ge- frierschrankes und der Halteleiste 50 eingesteckt und kann auch nach vorne vorzugsweise nur unter Zuhilfenahme von Werkzeug entnommen werden.Figure 7 shows an embodiment in which a securing element 70 is provided, which does not act directly on the support floor 10, but on the retaining strip 50 which is in communication with the support floor 10. This securing element 70 is inserted from the front between a rib 110 of the inner container 100 of the freezer and the retaining strip 50 and can also be removed forward only with the aid of tools.
Figur 8 zeigt schließlich die Ausführung des Wasserzulaufs 120. Wie dies aus Figur 8 hervorgeht, erfolgt der Wasserzulauf 120 durch die Geräterückwand, das heißt es ist keine Anbindung zur Decke oder dem Zwischenboden erforderlich, wodurch neue Gerätevarianten mit anderer Position des Eiswürfelbereiters ermöglicht werden. Das in Figur 8 dargestellte Bauteil kann als reiner Wasserzulauf oder auch als Kombinationsteil mit einer Kabeldurchführung ausgeführt sein. Zur Aufnahme des Wasserzulaufs 120 ist im rückwärtigen Bereich des Tragbodens 10 eine halbrunde oder teilkreisförmige Ausnehmung 12 vorgesehen, die auch aus den Figuren 1 bis 3 ersichtlich ist und in die die Laschen 22 teilweise hineinragen.Finally, FIG. 8 shows the embodiment of the water inlet 120. As can be seen from FIG. 8, the water inlet 120 is through the rear wall of the appliance, ie no connection to the ceiling or the intermediate floor is required, thereby enabling new appliance variants with different positions of the ice cube maker. The component shown in Figure 8 can be designed as a pure water inlet or as a combination part with a cable bushing. To accommodate the water inlet 120, a semicircular or part-circular recess 12 is provided in the rear region of the support base 10, which is also apparent from Figures 1 to 3 and in which the tabs 22 partially protrude.
In dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel beträgt der Einlaufwinkel 20° und der Werkstoff Polypropylen. Selbstverständlich sind auch andere Winkel- und Werkstoffausführungen denkbar.In the embodiment shown here, the inlet angle is 20 ° and the material polypropylene. Of course, other angle and material designs are conceivable.
Eine spezielle Hakengeometrie im mittleren Röhrenteil ermöglicht das Anbringen einer Zusatzheizung 130, wie dies aus Figur 8 hervorgeht.A special hook geometry in the middle tube part allows the attachment of an additional heater 130, as can be seen from FIG.
Die vorliegende Erfindung ermöglicht eine wählbare, raumsparende Position für den Eiswürfelbereiter beispielsweise im mittleren Bereich oder auch auf anderer Position eines Gefriersch rankes. Je nach Bedarf kann seine Position, variantenbezogen der Schubladeneinteilung entsprechend nach unten oder oben versetzt werden.The present invention allows a selectable, space-saving position for the ice cube maker, for example, in the middle area or on other Position of a freezer. Depending on requirements, its position can be offset depending on the variant of the drawer division downwards or upwards.
Der Gefrierschrank kann mit in Figur 5 nicht dargestellten Schubladen ausgeführt sein, die entweder unmittelbar auf dem Tragboden 10 laufen, wie dies insbesondere bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 2 der Fall ist oder die über Auszugsschienen ein- und ausgeschoben werden können, die durch die Halteleisten 50 gemäß Figur 1 gebildet werden oder mit diesen in Verbindung stehen.The freezer can be designed with drawers, not shown in Figure 5, which run either directly on the support floor 10, as is the case in particular in the embodiment of Figure 2 or which can be inserted and pulled out via pull-out rails by the retaining strips 50th are formed according to Figure 1 or in connection with these.
Das Bezugszeichen 32 in den Figuren 1 und 2kennzeichnet eine Noppe, die an dem Eiswürfelbereiter 20 angeformt ist und in eine Bohrung im Tragboden 10 eingreift.The reference numeral 32 in Figures 1 and 2 indicates a nub, which is integrally formed on the ice cube maker 20 and engages in a bore in the support floor 10.
Die Halterung des Eiswürfelbereiters kann als mit dem Eiswürfelbereiter einteiliges Bauteil ausgeführt sein und beispielsweise einen Teil des Gehäuses bilden. Denkbar ist es ebenfalls, dass die Halterung und der Eiswürfelbereiter durch zwei separate, jedoch miteinander in Verbindung stehende Bauteile gebildet wird. The holder of the ice cube maker can be designed as a one-piece component with the ice cube maker and form, for example, a part of the housing. It is also conceivable that the holder and the ice cube maker is formed by two separate, but interconnected components.
