Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät, insbesondere ein Haushaltskältegerät, mit einem Korpus und einer Auszugstür, die zusammen ein Lagerfach begrenzen.The present invention relates to a refrigerator, in particular a household refrigerator, with a body and a pull-out door, which together define a storage compartment.

Herkömmlicherweise weisen Haushaltskühlschränke an den Innenseiten ihrer Türen Absteller auf, in denen Flaschen aufrecht platziert werden können. Die Tiefe dieser Absteller ist im Allgemeinen so bemessen, dass nur eine Reihe von Flaschen nebeneinander hineinpasst. Die Unterbringung einer kompletten Getränkekiste ist im Allgemeinen problematisch, nicht zuletzt, da bei den meisten Kühlschränken ein Maschinenraum in einer hinteren unteren Ecke des Korpus untergebracht ist und eine daraus resultierende, in das Lagerfach vorspringende Stufe die verfügbare Stellfläche für eine Kiste beschränkt.Conventionally, household refrigerators have shelves on the insides of their doors in which bottles can be placed upright. The depth of these shelves is generally sized so that only a row of bottles fits next to each other. Housing a complete crate is generally problematic, not least because in most refrigerators a machine room is located in a rear lower corner of the cabinet and a resulting step projecting into the storage compartment limits the available footprint for a crate.

Doch selbst wenn ein Kältegerät ein Lagerfach hat, das groß genug ist, um eine Getränkekiste aufzunehmen, ist der Zugriff auf eine solche Kiste beschwerlich, denn nach dem Öffnen der Tür muss zunächst die Kiste herausgezogen werden, da auf die darin enthaltenen Flaschen nur von oben zugegriffen werden kann.But even if a refrigerator has a storage compartment that is large enough to hold a crate, the access to such a box is cumbersome, because after opening the door, the box must first be pulled out because of the bottles contained therein only from above can be accessed.

EP 1 653 181 A2 offenbart ein Kältegerät umfassend einen Körper mit einer Kühlkammer, einen Basisrahmen, der an der Kühlkammer angeordnet ist und einer Tür, einen Anheberahmen, der an einer oberen Fläche des Basisrahmens zum Beladen einer Box angeordnet ist und eine Anheberahmenantriebseinheit, die an dem Basisrahmen montiert ist und zum Anheben des Anheberahmens mit dem Anheberahmen verbunden ist. EP 1 653 181 A2 discloses a refrigerator comprising a body having a cooling chamber, a base frame disposed on the cooling chamber and a door, a lifting frame disposed on an upper surface of the base frame for loading a box, and an elevator frame driving unit mounted on the base frame and for lifting the lifting frame is connected to the lifting frame.

EP 1 881 282 A2 offenbart ein Kältegerät umfassend eine Behälterhülle, ein Gefrierfach, welches innerhalb der Behälterhülle angeordnet ist, eine Gefrierfachtür, die relativ zu der Behälterhülle beweglich montiert ist, eine Gefrierfachbox, die an der Gefrierfachtür für eine gleichzeitige Verschiebebewegung relativ zur Behälterhülle angeordnet ist, und ein Anhebemechanismus, der mit der Gefrierfachbox gekoppelt ist, wobei der Anhebemechanismus selektiv die Gefrierfachbox von einer niedrigeren Position in eine angehobene Position verschieben kann, wenn die Gefrierfachtür geöffnet wird. EP 1 881 282 A2 discloses a refrigerator including a container shell, a freezer compartment disposed within the container enclosure, a freezer compartment door movably mounted relative to the container enclosure, a freezer compartment disposed on the freezer compartment door for simultaneous sliding movement relative to the containment shell, and a lift mechanism, which is coupled to the freezer compartment, wherein the lifting mechanism can selectively move the freezer compartment from a lower position to a raised position when the freezer compartment door is opened.

WO 2007/040290 A1 offenbart ein Kältegerät umfassend einen Körper mit einem Aufnahmeraum darin, eine Tür, die verschieblich an dem Körper montiert ist, eine Box, die im Aufnahmeraum angeordnet ist, eine Anhebezusammenstellung, die fest an der Tür befestigt ist, um ein Aufwärts- und Abwärtsbewegen der Box zu ermöglichen, wenn die Tür geöffnet ist, und um die Box zu verschwenken, wenn die Box eine Oberseite erreicht, und eine Antriebseinheit zum Aufwärts- und Abwärtsbewegen der Anhebezusammenstellung. WO 2007/040290 A1 discloses a refrigeration device comprising a body with a A receiving space therein, a door slidably mounted to the body, a box disposed in the receiving space, a lift-up assembly fixedly secured to the door to allow the box to move up and down when the door is opened and to pivot the box when the box reaches a top, and a drive unit for moving the elevator assembly up and down.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, ein Kältegerät zu schaffen, das zur Unterbringung von Getränkekisten geeignet ist.The object of the present invention is to provide a refrigeration device which is suitable for accommodating beverage crates.

Unter Kältegerät wird hier ein Haushaltskältegerät verstanden, also ein Kältegerät, das zur Haushaltsführung eingesetzt wird, wie beispielsweise ein Kühlschrank oder eine Kühlgefrierkombination. Prinzipiell gut geeignet, um eine Getränkekiste aufzunehmen, sind Kältegeräte mit Auszugswagen, das heißt Geräte, bei denen ein Kühlgutbehälter wie eine Schublade herausziehbar ist und eine mit dem Behälter bewegliche Auszugstür zum Verschließen des Lagerfachs dient.Refrigeration appliance is here understood to mean a domestic refrigeration appliance, that is to say a refrigeration appliance that is used for household management, such as, for example, a refrigerator or a refrigerated freezer combination. In principle well suited to accommodate a crate, refrigerators are with drawer, that is, devices in which a refrigerated goods such as a drawer is pulled out and a movable with the container extension door serves to close the storage compartment.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst, indem bei einem Kältegerät mit einem Korpus und einer Auszugstür, die ein Lagerfach begrenzen, und mit einer mit der Auszugstür verbundenen Abstellfläche für Kühlgut die Abstellfläche höhenverstellbar ist. Indem die Abstellfläche vor dem Einladen einer Kiste in einer angehobenen Stellung platziert wird, bleibt es dem Benutzer erspart, die Kiste selber in unbequemer, vorn übergebeugter Stellung auf die Abstellfläche abzusenken, was den zum Einladen der Kiste erforderlichen Kraftaufwand verringert und die Gefahr von Missgeschicken reduziert. Insbesondere wird die Gefahr einer Beschädigung der Auszugstür vermieden, die besteht, wenn eine Getränkekiste über die Auszugstür hinweg gehievt werden muss.The object is achieved by the storage space is height adjustable in a refrigerator with a body and a pullout door, which limit a storage compartment, and connected to the pull-out door storage area for refrigerated goods. By placing the shelf in a raised position prior to loading a box, it remains Saves user to lower the box itself in uncomfortable, front bent position on the shelf, which reduces the effort required to load the box and reduces the risk of mishaps. In particular, the risk of damaging the pull-out door is avoided, which exists when a crate must be hoisted over the pull-out door away.

Um eine handelsübliche Getränkekiste unterzubringen, muss die Abstellfläche bei einem Haushaltskältegerät von üblichen Abmessungen die Tiefe des Lagerfachs wenigstens zum überwiegenden Teil ausfüllen.In order to accommodate a commercial crate, the shelf has to fill the depth of the storage compartment at least for the most part in a household refrigeration appliance of conventional dimensions.

Vorzugsweise dient ein Teleskopauszug dazu, die Auszugstür und die Abstellfläche in Tiefenrichtung des Korpus beweglich zu führen.Preferably, a telescopic extension is used to move the extension door and the shelf in the depth direction of the body movable.

Die Abstellfläche kann bis zu einer Oberkante der Auszugstür anhebbar sein, so dass ein Benutzer eine Kiste, die er auf die Höhe dieser Oberkante angehoben hat, nur noch über die Auszugstür hinweg auf die Abstellfläche aufzuschieben braucht.The shelf can be raised up to an upper edge of the pullout door, so that a user needs to postpone a box that he has raised to the height of this top edge, only on the pullout door away on the shelf.

Wenn an die Abstellfläche seitlich eine Schwelle angrenzt, kann auch diese Schwelle als Referenz genommen werden, bis zu der die Abstellfläche zum Einladen einer Kiste anhebbar sein sollte. Insbesondere wenn die Schwelle niedriger ist als die Oberkante der Auszugstür, kann es für einen Benutzer bequemer sein, eine Kiste in seitlicher Richtung über die Schwelle hinweg auf die Abstellfläche zu laden.If a threshold adjoins the storage area laterally, this threshold can also be taken as a reference, up to which the storage space for loading a box should be liftable. In particular, if the threshold is lower than the top of the pull-out door, it may be more convenient for a user to load a box sideways across the threshold onto the shelf.

Die Schwelle kann insbesondere durch eine Teleskopschiene gebildet sein, die die Bewegung der Auszugstür führt.The threshold may in particular be formed by a telescopic rail, which guides the movement of the extension door.

Um eine schnelle und einfache Höhenverstellung der Abstellfläche zu ermöglichen, ist erfindungsgemäß ein Federelement zum Beaufschlagen der Abstellfläche in eine angehobene Stellung vorgesehen. Ein solches Federelement wird durch das Absenken der Abstellfläche nach dem Aufladen einer Kiste gespannt, und die durch die Spannung gespeicherte Energie kann zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt nutzbar gemacht werden, um die - dann meist leere oder zumindest leichtere - Kiste wieder anzuheben, ohne dass der Benutzer hierfür Kraft aufwenden muss.In order to enable a quick and easy height adjustment of the shelf, a spring element for applying the shelf in a raised position is provided according to the invention. Such a spring element is stretched by lowering the shelf after charging a box, and the energy stored by the voltage can be used at a later time to the - then usually empty or at least lighter - box to raise again without the user must expend force for this.

Die Abstellfläche ist zweckmäßigerweise in einer abgesenkten Stellung arretierbar, um auszuschließen, dass sie sich unbeabsichtigt hebt, wenn das Gewicht der Kiste geringer wird als die Rückstellkraft des Federelements.The shelf is conveniently lockable in a lowered position to preclude it from inadvertently lifting when the weight of the box becomes less than the return force of the spring element.

Die vom Federelement ausgeübte Kraft ist erfindungsgemäß einstellbar, um sie an die Gewichte unterschiedlicher Typen von Kisten anzupassen. Als Federelement kommt insbesondere eine Gasdruckfeder in Betracht.The force exerted by the spring element is adjustable according to the invention in order to adapt it to the weights of different types of boxes. As a spring element is in particular a gas spring into consideration.

one too Fig. 3 analog section according to a further modified embodiment.

Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch einen Schnitt durch ein erfindungsgemäßes Kältegerät mit einem Korpus 1, in dem zwei Lagerfächer, ein Normalkühlfach 2 und ein Kellerfach 3 abgeteilt sind. Das Kellerfach 3 nimmt das untere Drittel des Korpus 1 ein. Das Kellerfach hat einen flachen Boden ohne Stufe, da ein Verdichter und ein Verflüssiger zum Kühlen der Fächer 2, 3 in einem Maschinenraum eines Sockels 4 des Geräts untergebracht sind. Fig. 1 schematically shows a section through a refrigerator according to the invention with a body 1, in which two storage compartments, a normal refrigerated compartment 2 and a cellar compartment 3 are divided. The basement compartment 3 occupies the lower third of the body 1. The basement compartment has a flat bottom without a step, since a compressor and a condenser for cooling the compartments 2, 3 are housed in a machine room of a base 4 of the device.

Das Normalkühlfach 2 hat eine schwenkbare Tür 5, an deren Innenseite in herkömmlicher Weise Türabsteller 6 aufgehängt sind.The normal refrigeration compartment 2 has a pivotable door 5, on the inside of which door rack 6 is suspended in a conventional manner.

Das Kellerfach 3 ist durch eine Auszugstür 7 verschlossen, die über Teleskopauszüge 8 an Seitenwänden des Kellerfachs 3 aufgehängt und in Richtung ihrer Oberflächennormalen bewegbar ist. Eine Abstellplatte 9, die im Wesentlichen die gesamte Bodenfläche des Kellerfachs 3 ausfüllt, ist wie die Auszugstür 7 vom Teleskopauszug 8 getragen und zusammen mit der Auszugstür 7 verschiebbar, so dass ein Auszugswagen gebildet ist. Um z. B. eine handelsübliche Bierkiste aufzunehmen, hat die Abstellplatte 9 eine Kantenlänge von wenigstens 30 cm x 40 cm.The basement compartment 3 is closed by a pull-out door 7, which is suspended by telescopic extensions 8 on side walls of the basement compartment 3 and movable in the direction of their surface normal. A storage tray 9, which fills substantially the entire bottom surface of the basement compartment 3 is like the pullout door 7 carried by the telescopic extension 8 and displaceable together with the pullout door 7, so that a pullout car is formed. To z. B. a commercial beer crate, the storage shelf 9 has an edge length of at least 30 cm x 40 cm.

Fig. 2 zeigt die Abstellplatte 9 und die Auszugstür 7 in einer vorgezogenen Stellung, in der die Abstellplatte 9 vollständig außerhalb des Kellerfachs 3 liegt. In der Stellung kann auf die gesamte Oberfläche einer auf der Abstellplatte 9 platzierten Getränkekiste 10 zugegriffen werden, und Flaschen können aus jedem Fach der Kiste 10 entnommen bzw. wieder eingestellt werden. Fig. 2 shows the storage tray 9 and the pullout door 7 in a preferred position in which the storage tray 9 is completely outside the basement compartment 3. In the position can be accessed on the entire surface of a placed on the storage tray 9 crate 10, and bottles can be removed from each tray of the box 10 and set again.

In der Ansicht der Fig. 3 ist die Abstellplatte 9 mitsamt der Getränkekiste 10 darauf durch Gasdruckfedern 11 bis in Höhe der Oberkante der Auszugstür 7 angehoben. Die Gasdruckfedern 11 stützen sich auf ein Rahmenteil 12, das von einer vorderen, beweglichen Schiene 13 des Teleskopauszugs 8 abgehängt ist und in der in Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigten abgesenkten Stellung der Abstellplatte 9 unter dieser verborgen ist. Ein Hebel 14 dient zum Entriegeln der Gasdruckfedern 11. Da in der angehobenen Stellung der Fig. 3 die Abstellplatte 9 geringfügig über der Oberkante der Auszugstür 8 liegt, kann ein Benutzer die Kiste 10 horizontal nach vorn von der Abstellplatte 9 herunterziehen, ohne dass die Kiste mit der Auszugstür 7 in Kontakt kommen kann.In the view of Fig. 3 the storage tray 9 together with the crate 10 is raised by gas pressure springs 11 up to the level of the upper edge of the extension door 7. The gas springs 11 are based on a frame part 12 which is suspended from a front, movable rail 13 of the telescopic extension 8 and in the in Fig. 1 and 2 shown lowered position of the storage tray 9 is hidden under this. A lever 14 is used to unlock the gas springs 11. Since in the raised position of Fig. 3 the storage tray 9 is slightly above the upper edge of the pull-out door 8, a user can pull down the box 10 horizontally forward of the storage tray 9, without the box can come into contact with the pull-out door 7.

Nachdem er eine neue, volle Kiste 10 auf der Abstellplatte 9 platziert hat, betätigt der Benutzer von neuem den Hebel 14. Die Rückstellkraft der Federn 11 ist an das Gewicht des üblicherweise in das Fach 3 eingeladenen Typs von Getränkekiste anpassbar und ist so eingestellt, dass die Federn 11, wenn sie durch den Hebel 14 entriegelt sind, unter dem Gewicht der vollen Kiste 10 nachgeben und die Abstellplatte 9 in die abgesenkte Stellung der Fig. 2 zurückkehrt. In dieser Stellung kann das Kellerfach 3 wieder geschlossen werden.After placing a new, full box 10 on the storage tray 9, the user again actuates the lever 14. The return force of the springs 11 is adaptable to the weight of the type of beverage box normally loaded in the compartment 3 and is set to the springs 11, when unlocked by the lever 14, yield under the weight of the full box 10 and the storage tray 9 in the lowered position of the Fig. 2 returns. In this position, the basement compartment 3 can be closed again.

Fig. 4 zeigt in einer vergrößerten schematischen Seitenansicht einen oberen Bereich der Auszugstür 7 sowie einen Vorderabschnitt der Abstellplatte 9. An eine vordere Kante der Abstellplatte 9 ist eine Klappe 15 angelenkt, die durch einen seitlich abstehenden Zapfen 16 in Kontakt mit einer Führungskontur 17 gelenkt ist. Solange die Abstellplatte 9 weit von ihrer angehobenen Anschlagstellung entfernt ist, berührt der Zapfen 16 eine vertikale Flanke 18 der Führungskontur 17, und die Klappe 15 ist in in etwa vertikaler Stellung gehalten. Mit zunehmender Höhe krümmt sich die Flanke der Führungskontur 17 nach vorn und ermöglicht ein Ausschwenken der Klappe 15, wenn sich die Abstellplatte 9 ihrer oberen Anschlagstellung nähert. Wenn die Anschlagstellung erreicht ist, ruht der Zapfen 16 auf einer horizontalen Flanke 19 der Führungskontur 17, und die nun im Wesentlichen horizontale Klappe 15 erstreckt sich über die Oberkante der Auszugstür 7. So ist die Auszugstür 7 davor geschützt, dass eine Kiste bei dem Versuch, sie auf die Abstellplatte 9 aufzuladen, auf die Oberkante der Auszugstür 7 aufschlägt und sie beschädigt. Fig. 4 shows in an enlarged schematic side view of an upper portion of the pullout door 7 and a front portion of the storage tray 9. At a front edge of the storage tray 9, a flap 15 is hinged, which is guided by a laterally projecting pin 16 in contact with a guide contour 17. As long as the storage tray 9 is far away from its raised stop position, the pin 16 contacts a vertical flank 18 of the guide contour 17, and the flap 15 is held in an approximately vertical position. With increasing height, the flank of the guide contour 17 curves forward and allows pivoting of the flap 15 when the storage tray 9 approaches its upper stop position. When the stop position is reached, the pin 16 rests on a horizontal flank 19 of the guide contour 17, and the now substantially horizontal flap 15 extends over the top edge of the pull-out door 7. Thus, the pull-out door 7 is protected from being a box in the attempt to load them on the storage tray 9, hits the top of the pull-out door 7 and damage them.

Eine weitere Abwandlung des erfindungsgemäßen Kältegeräts ist in Fig. 5 in einem zu Fig. 3 analogen Schnitt gezeigt. Die Abstellplatte 9 ist hier mit Hilfe eines Scherenmechanismus 20 höhenverstellbar, der wie beim Ausführungsbeispiel der Figuren 1 bis 3 von einer durch das Absenken der Abstellplatte 9 gespannten Feder oder auch von einem kleinen Elektromotor angetrieben sein kann. Die obere Anschlagstellung der Abstellplatte 9 liegt hier deutlich unterhalb der Oberkante der Auszugstür 7, aber über der beweglichen Schiene 13 des Teleskopauszugs 8, so dass eine Kiste, anstatt sie über die Auszugstür 7 hinwegzuheben, in seitlicher Richtung über die Schiene 13 hinweg auf die Abstellplatte 9 aufgeschoben oder von ihr heruntergezogen werden kann.A further modification of the refrigeration device according to the invention is in Fig. 5 in one too Fig. 3 shown analogue section. The storage tray 9 is adjustable in height here by means of a scissors mechanism 20, as in the embodiment of the FIGS. 1 to 3 can be driven by a tensioned by lowering the storage tray 9 spring or by a small electric motor. The upper stop position of the storage tray 9 is here well below the upper edge of the extension door 7, but over the movable rail 13 of the telescopic extension 8, so that a box, instead of over the pull-out door 7 away, in the lateral direction on the rail 13 away on the storage tray 9 can be postponed or pulled down by her.
