Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a door for a refrigeration appliance with an outer shell that is foamed with insulation material.
  • the shell is foamed, considerable pressures occur which, even if the shell is externally supported during the foaming process, can lead to permanent deformations of the door surfaces after the insulating foam has hardened.
  • it is customary to manufacture the outer sides in one piece from a slightly cambered metal sheet.
  • the crowning improves the rigidity of the sheet metal, even when the material is thin, and on the other hand, slight deformations, should they occur, are much less noticeable on such a surface than on a flat surface.
  • the U.S. 2005/0257495 A1 discloses an outer door of a side-by-side type refrigerator, with an outer face having two opposite 90 degree angled fold sections.
  • An additional fold-over section of the outer front is angled an additional 90 degrees and fits into a notch of a separate retaining clip, which forms a seat for a door seal.
  • the FR 1,362,178A discloses a thermally insulating container having container side walls made of sheet metal and having bent, spring-loaded edge portions forming grooves into which edge portions of a deep-drawn inner container are inserted.
  • a lateral edge of the outer panel is spaced apart from the outer and Inside of the door is reinforced from the side flank into the interior of the door angled web and the web forms one side of a recessed from the side edge of the door grip groove.
  • a web can be produced, for example, by a folded joint between a lateral edge of a side flank of the door and a lateral edge of its outer panel.
  • Such a web is most effective when it is oriented substantially parallel to the outside of the door.
  • the web is an integral part of the outer panel.
  • the outer panel can extend in one piece over the entire side flank, i.e. it still extends a little far to the rear beyond the web spaced from the inside of the door.
  • the groove can simultaneously assume the function of a door handle.
  • Such a groove is expediently closed at one end by an attached molded part.
  • the longitudinal ends of the walls of the grip groove preferably engage in a groove in the molded part.
  • the top and bottom of the door are each closed by a header which has a groove on a front side for receiving a web angled from an edge of the outer panel and is connected to the molding by tongue and groove.
  • the outer plate has an angled web and is connected to the molded part by tongue and groove.
  • FIG 1 shows a perspective view of an outer panel 1 formed in one piece from sheet metal of a refrigerator door.
  • the outer panel 1 comprises a front panel 2, which forms the entire front side of the door facing the user, side panels 3 adjoining the lateral walls of the front panel 2, a narrow web 4 angled backwards along the upper edge of the front panel, and a web 4 corresponding to not shown web at the bottom of the front panel 2.
  • the side panels 3 comprise a plurality of webs angled approximately at right angles to each other, a first outer web 5, which is directly adjacent to the front panel 2, webs 6, 7, 8, which each form side walls or the bottom of a groove 9 recessed laterally in the door, and adjacent to the side wall 7 and flush with the first outer web 5 , a second outer web 10.
  • the outer web 10 in turn merges into an edge web 11 which is parallel to the front panel 2 and on which, as in FIG 2 shown, a back panel 12 is attached, which is thermoformed in a conventional manner from plastic.
  • a connection zone where the front panel 2 and the rear panel 12 abut each other is hidden under a magnetic gasket 13 .
  • the groove 9 extends in the width and depth directions of the door over about one to two centimeters and over the entire height of the door.
  • the groove 9 serves on the one hand to stiffen the side flanks of the door, on the other hand it can also be used as a handle for opening the door. Since the groove 9 is provided on both sides of the door, it enables the door to be mounted on a refrigeration device housing with either a right-hand or left-hand stop.
  • outer panel 1 in the configuration of Figures 1 and 2 extends over the entire width of the side flanks up to the rear wall panel 12, it forms in the in 3 example shown, which is not part of the invention, only a front outer ridge 5 of the side flank and a peripheral ridge 20 adjoining the rear edge of this ridge 5, which is bent inwardly of the door and back forward to form a ridge over the entire Height of the door extending hook 14 to form.
  • a complementary hook 15 of a profile element 16 engages in the hook 14 .
  • the profile element 16 forms a groove 9, a second outer web 10 and the edge web 11 connected to the rear wall panel 12.
  • the profile element 16 which is given a high degree of flexural rigidity by the groove 9 . Due to the interlocking hooks 14, 15, however, it also stabilizes the front outer web 5 belonging to the front panel against possible deformation during foaming.
  • the two-part structure of the side flanks of the door makes it possible to use different materials or surfaces on the outer panel 1 and the profile elements 16 enclosing it on both sides. This is how it turns out Novel design options, for example by using bare metal, in particular aluminum or stainless steel for the outer panel 1 and colored plastic or painted metal for the profile elements 16.
  • the outer panel 1 can be combined with profile elements 16 of different cross sections. So shows 4 according to an example not forming part of the invention, the same outer panel as 3 combined with a profile element 16 in which the groove 9 is missing. Although this also eliminates the stiffening effect of the groove, stiffening also comes about through the overlapping webs of the interlocking hooks 14, 15, which form four layers of material next to one another on at least part of the side flank.
  • a door handle 17 is expediently mounted on the profile element 16 in this embodiment; the outer panel 1 can then with that of the embodiment of 3 be exactly identical.
  • FIG. 5 Another variant according to an example not forming part of the invention with improved stiffening effect is in figure 5 shown.
  • an edge of the outer panel 1 is not as in Figures 3 and 4 folded back inwards and forwards to form the hook 14, but is merely angled approximately at right angles inwards into the door so that a web 18 approximately parallel to the front of the door is obtained.
  • a hook 19 of the profile element 16 surrounds the web 18. Web 18 and hook 19 are attached to one another by spot welds.
  • the spot welds can easily be produced with welding tongs gripping the outside of the hook 19; Weld marks left on the hook 19 are not visible on the finished door as they remain hidden inside.
  • outer panel 1 according to figure 5 differs from the according 3 merely by the angle at which the lateral edge of the outer panel is bent to form either the hook 14 or the web 18. This slight difference does not rule out manufacturing the two types of outer panels 1 using largely the same tools, so that rational manufacturing of different types of refrigerator doors is also possible here.
  • the profile element 16 can also be provided with a simple web that engages inside the door parallel to the front side, and the outer panel can be provided with a hook that engages around this web.
  • FIG. 6 shows a perspective view of an end cap 21, which in the embodiments of Fig. 1 and 2 or 3 is provided to seal the groove 9 at its upper and lower ends and to make it possible to foam the door.
  • a flat trough 22 on the underside of the end cap 21 forms the end of the groove 9.
  • the trough 22 is surrounded on at least three of its sides by a groove 23 which accommodates the upper edges of the webs 5 to 11.
  • a spring 24 extends on the upper side of the locking element 21 in the depth direction of the door. It is intended to be slidable in the depth direction in a groove 26 (see 8 ) one like the end cap 21 injection molded from plastic, in 7 cap 25 shown in a perspective view.
  • the cover cap 25 When assembling the door, the cover cap 25 is first placed at a distance from the front panel 2 onto two end caps 21 mounted as mirror images of one another on the side panels of the door, with the tongues 24 of the end caps 21 engaging in the grooves 26 of the cover cap 25, and then the cover cap 25 is advanced along the grooves 26, a groove 27 formed on the front side of the cover cap 25 can be pushed onto the web 4 of the outer plate from behind.
  • the cover cap 25 is thus locked on the front panel 2 in the vertical direction, and no gap between the front panel 2 and the cover cap 25 can open under the pressure of the insulating material injected later.
