Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Haushaltsgerät, wie insbesondere ein Kältegerät, bei dem ein Lagerwinkel, der zum Lagern einer Tür des Haushaltsgeräts bestimmt ist mit einer Abdeckung zum Abdecken des Lagerwinkels abgedeckt ist.The present invention relates to a household appliance, such as in particular a refrigerator, in which a bearing angle, which is intended for storing a door of the household appliance is covered with a cover for covering the bearing angle.

Bei Haushaltsgeräten, wie insbesondere Kältegeräten, trat immer wieder das Problem auf, dass der Öffnungswinkel der Tür nicht groß genug war und die auftretenden Kräfte beim Türanschlag nicht gut genug aufgenommen wurden. Daher wurde ein Scharniersystem entwickelt, das einen großen Öffnungswinkel der Tür ermöglicht und die auftretenden Kräfte beim Türanschlag aufnimmt.For household appliances, such as refrigerators in particular, the problem arose again and again that the opening angle of the door was not large enough and the forces occurring at the door stop were not taken up well enough. Therefore, a hinge system has been developed that allows a large opening angle of the door and absorbs the forces occurring at the door stop.

Bei vielen Geräten ist ein elektrisches Kabel von dem so genannten Control Panel an der Vorderseite des Haushaltsgeräts in die Türe zu führen, damit an der Vorderseite der Türe angebrachte Bedienelemente mit dem Control Panel elektrisch verbunden oder dort angebrachte Anzeigeelemente mit Strom versorgt werden. Der Lagerwinkel muss aus ästhetischen Gründen mit einer Abdeckung verkleidet werden, da er sonst nach dem Öffnen der Tür von einem Benutzer sichtbar ist. Üblicherweise wird eine solche Abdeckung auf den Lagerwinkel aufgesteckt. Bei einem vorgenannten Scharniersystem tritt das Problem auf, dass bei Lagetoleranzen des Lagerwinkels sich die Abdeckung entweder verzieht oder sogar bricht, oder dass unansehnliche Fugen zwischen der Abdeckung und dem Control Panel entstehen.In many devices, an electrical cable from the so-called control panel on the front of the household appliance in the door to guide so that attached to the front of the door controls are electrically connected to the control panel or there attached display elements with power. The bearing bracket must be covered with a cover for aesthetic reasons, otherwise it will be visible to a user after opening the door. Usually, such a cover is attached to the bearing bracket. In an aforementioned hinge system, the problem arises that with positional tolerances of the bearing angle, the cover either warps or even breaks, or that unsightly joints between the cover and the control panel arise.

WO 2008/004841 A2 offenbart ein Haushaltsgerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. WO 2008/004841 A2 discloses a household appliance according to the preamble of claim 1.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, das bestehende Scharniersystem so weiterzuentwickeln, dass die Abdeckung unabhängig von Lagetoleranzen des Lagerwinkels keine störenden Spalte oder Fugen zum Control Panel bildet.The present invention is based on the object to further develop the existing hinge system so that the cover forms no disturbing gaps or joints to the control panel regardless of positional tolerances of the bearing angle.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Haushaltsgerät gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst, bei dem dessen Lagerwinkel mit einer Abdeckung zum Abdecken des Lagerwinkels abgedeckt ist. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This object is achieved with a household appliance according to claim 1, wherein the bearing angle is covered with a cover for covering the bearing angle. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Erfindungsgemäß weist die Abdeckung zum Abdecken des Lagerwinkels eine Verbindungseinrichtung zum Verbinden der Abdeckung mit dem Haushaltsgerät selbst und nicht mit dem Lagerwinkel auf. Dies bringt den Vorteil, dass die Abdeckung selbst dann passgenau mit dem Haushaltsgerät verbunden werden kann, wenn beim Lagerwinkel oder dem mit ihm verbundenen Lagerzapfen Fertigungstoleranzen vorhanden sind. Durch die Anbringung der Abdeckung direkt am Haushaltsgerät kann somit vermieden werden, dass unerwünschte Spalte oder eine schräge Anordnung der Abdeckung auftreten, und es kann bewirkt werden, dass die Abdeckung formschlüssig und bündig auf das Haushaltsgerät abgestimmt werden kann.According to the invention, the cover for covering the bearing angle has a connecting device for connecting the cover to the household appliance itself and not to the bearing angle. This has the advantage that the cover can be accurately connected to the household appliance even if there are manufacturing tolerances at the bearing angle or the bearing pin connected to it. By attaching the cover directly to the household appliance can thus be avoided that undesirable column or an oblique arrangement of the cover occur, and it can be effected that the cover can be positively and flush matched to the household appliance.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass die Verbindungseinrichtung mehrere Rasthaken zum Eingreifen in eine entsprechende Aussparung an der Vorderseite des Haushaltsgeräts umfasst, wobei der Eingriff der Rasthaken in die Aussparung vorzugsweise auch wieder gelöst werden kann.According to the invention it is provided that the connecting device comprises a plurality of latching hooks for engaging in a corresponding recess on the front of the household appliance, wherein the engagement of the latching hooks in the recess can preferably also be solved again.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass der Lagerwinkel ein freies Ende aufweist, an dem eine Lagerbuchse befestigbar ist, und dass die Abdeckung ein dem freien Ende des Lagerwinkels - an dem der Lagerzapfen angeordnet ist - benachbartes freies Ende aufweist, das einen Rasthaken zum Eingriff in die Lagerbuchse umfasst. Dies ermöglicht eine zusätzliche Stützung der Abdeckung. Die Flexibilität der Abdeckung kann dabei erhöht werden, wenn dieser Rasthaken über eine elastische Rippe mit der Abdeckung verbunden ist. Bevorzugt ist dabei der Rasthaken so ausgebildet, dass ein Spiel zwischen Rasthaken und Ausnehmung vorhanden ist, so dass der Rasthaken nach oben und unten nicht fixiert ist. Dadurch wird eine noch bessere Entkopplung der Abdeckung in dem Fall ermöglicht, dass Lagetoleranzen des Lagerwinkels vorhanden sind.According to the invention it is provided that the bearing angle has a free end to which a bearing bush is fastened, and that the cover has a free end of the bearing bracket - on which the bearing pin is arranged - adjacent free end, which has a latching hook for engaging in the bearing bush includes. This allows additional support of the cover. The flexibility of the cover can be increased if this latching hook is connected via an elastic rib with the cover. Preferably, the latching hook is formed so that a clearance between latching hook and recess is present, so that the latching hook is not fixed up and down. This allows an even better decoupling of the cover in the event that positional tolerances of the bearing angle are present.

Es ist bevorzugt, dass die Aussparung in einer Frontblende des Haushaltsgeräts vorgesehen ist, die vorzugsweise ein Control Panel - das für Steuerungs- und Regelzwecke des Haushaltsgeräts vorgesehen ist - zumindest teilweise abdeckt.It is preferred that the recess is provided in a front panel of the household appliance, which preferably at least partially covers a control panel - which is provided for control purposes of the household appliance.

Ein erfindungsgemäßes Haushaltsgerät wie insbesondere ein Kältegerät umfasst zumindest einen Lagerwinkel zum Lagern einer Tür des Haushaltsgeräts sowie zumindest eine Abdeckung zum Abdecken des Lagerwinkels mit einer Verbindungseinrichtung zum Verbinden der Abdeckung mit dem Haushaltsgerät selbst und nicht mit dem Lagerwinkel.An inventive household appliance such as in particular a refrigeration device comprises at least one bearing angle for supporting a door of the household appliance and at least a cover for covering the bearing angle with a connecting means for connecting the cover to the household appliance itself and not to the bearing angle.

Dies bietet den Vorteil, dass die Abdeckung selbst dann passgenau mit dem Haushaltsgerät verbunden werden kann, wenn beim Lagerwinkel oder dem mit ihm verbundenen Lagerzapfen Fertigungstoleranzen vorhanden sind. Durch die Anbringung der Abdeckung direkt am Haushaltsgerät kann somit vermieden werden, dass unerwünschte Spalte oder eine schräge Anordnung der Abdeckung auftreten, und es kann bewirkt werden, dass die Abdeckung formschlüssig und bündig auf das Haushaltsgerät abgestimmt werden kann.This offers the advantage that the cover can be accurately connected to the household appliance even if there are manufacturing tolerances at the bearing angle or the bearing pin connected to it. By attaching the cover directly to the household appliance can thus be avoided that undesirable column or an oblique arrangement of the cover occur, and it can be effected that the cover can be positively and flush matched to the household appliance.

Bevorzugt ist die Abdeckung einstoffig aus Kunststoff-Spritzguss geformt.Preferably, the cover is einstoffig molded from plastic injection molding.

Weitere Vorteile, Merkmale und Besonderheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 3 die erfindungsgemäße Abdeckung mit einigen Details, und
  • Fig. 4 eine der Fig. 2 ähnliche Ansicht mit eingesetzter Abdeckung.
Further advantages, features and features of the invention will become apparent from the following description of an advantageous embodiment. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 a domestic appliance with a hinged door via a bearing angle, in which the present invention can be used, in perspective,
  • Fig. 2 an embodiment of the cover according to the invention before insertion into the household appliance,
  • Fig. 3 the cover of the invention with some details, and
  • Fig. 4 one of the Fig. 2 similar view with inserted cover.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein Haushaltsgerät 9 mit geöffneter Türe 9a. Am Haushaltsgerät 9 ist ein Lagerwinkel 10 befestigt, an dessen freiem Ende 11 ein Lagerzapfen 12 angeordnet ist. Der Lagerwinkel 10 mit dem Lagerzapfen 12 ist spiegelsymmetrisch um seine horizontale Längsachse ausgebildet. Das heißt, es braucht nur eine Bauform des Lagerwinkels 10 hergestellt zu werden, die dann rechts oder links am Haushaltsgerät 9 befestigt werden kann. Der Lagerzapfen 12 weist bei dieser Ausführungsform - jedoch nicht notwendigerweise - einen in Horizontalrichtung im Wesentlichen rechteckförmigen Querschnitt auf. Fig. 1 shows a household appliance 9 with open door 9a. On household appliance 9, a bearing bracket 10 is fixed, at the free end 11, a bearing pin 12 is arranged. The bearing angle 10 with the bearing pin 12 is formed mirror-symmetrically about its horizontal longitudinal axis. That is, it only needs a design of the bearing bracket 10 to be made, which can then be attached to the right or left of the household appliance 9. The journal 12 in this embodiment has, but not necessarily, a generally rectangular cross section in the horizontal direction.

Auf das untere freie Ende des Lagerzapfens 12 ist eine Lagerbuchse 20 aufgesteckt, welche die Tür 9a drehbar lagert. Durch die Lagerbuchse 20 hindurch ist über eine Durchführung 22 ein elektrisches Kabel 60 geführt, das ins Innere des Haushaltsgeräts 9 zu einem sogenannten Control Panel geführt ist, mit dem unter anderem Steuer- und Regelfunktionen ausgeführt werden können. Im Bereich des Control Panels ist eine Aussparung 6 vorgesehen, in die eine Abdeckung für den Lagerwinkel 10 eingerastet werden kann. Eine Frontblende 8 deckt zumindest einen Teil des Control Panels ab.On the lower free end of the journal 12, a bearing bush 20 is attached, which rotatably supports the door 9a. Through the bushing 20 through an electrical cable 60 is passed through a feedthrough 22, which leads into the interior of the household appliance. 9 is led to a so-called control panel, with which, among other things, control and regulation functions can be performed. In the area of the control panel, a recess 6 is provided into which a cover for the bearing bracket 10 can be engaged. A front panel 8 covers at least part of the control panel.

Ein Deckel 30 kann in der durch den Pfeil A gezeigten Richtung auf das erste, obere freie Ende 14 des Lagerzapfens 12 aufgesteckt werden. Der Deckel 30 ist innen so geformt, dass er formschlüssig auf den Lagerzapfen 12 aufgesteckt werden kann. An der dem Haushaltsgerät 9 zugewandten Seite des Deckels 30 ragt eine Führungsrippe 34 hervor, die im Wesentlichen die gleiche Krümmung wie der Lagerwinkel 10 in diesem Bereich aufweist. Dadurch kann erreicht werden, dass das Kabel 60 in seitlicher, also horizontaler Richtung nicht zum Haushaltsgerät 9 hin verrutschen kann, sondern sicher geführt ist. Der Deckel 30 weist an seiner dem Kabel 60 zugewandten Seite einen Einlass 32 für das Kabel 60 auf, welches dann weiter durch die Lagerbuchse 20 hindurch nach unten verläuft. Um dem Kabel 60 auch eine Abstützung bzw. Führung nach oben zu gewährleisten, weist der Deckel 30 einen Kabelhalteabschnitt 33 auf, der als die Stirnseite bzw. Oberseite des Deckels 30 verlängernde Fläche ausgebildet ist.A lid 30 can be plugged in the direction shown by the arrow A on the first, upper free end 14 of the journal 12. The lid 30 is internally formed so that it can be positively fitted onto the bearing pin 12. At the household appliance 9 facing side of the lid 30 projects a guide rib 34, which has substantially the same curvature as the bearing angle 10 in this area. As a result, it can be achieved that the cable 60 can not slip toward the household appliance 9 in the lateral direction, that is, in the horizontal direction, but is safely guided. The cover 30 has, on its side facing the cable 60, an inlet 32 for the cable 60, which then extends further down through the bearing bush 20. In order to ensure the cable 60 and a support or guidance upwards, the cover 30 has a cable holding portion 33 which is formed as the end face or top of the lid 30 extending surface.

Gemäß Darstellung in Fig. 2 kann eine erfindungsgemäße Abdeckung 40 auf den Lagerwinkel 10 aufgeschoben worden. Die Abdeckung 40, die aus Kunststoff-Spritzguss geformt ist, weist schematisch angedeutete Rasthaken 44 auf, die in die in Aussparung 6 an der Vorderseite des Haushaltsgeräts 9 eingerastet werden. Die Rasthaken 44 bilden eine Verbindungseinrichtung 42.As shown in Fig. 2 If a cover 40 according to the invention has been pushed onto the bearing bracket 10. The cover 40, which is molded from plastic injection molding, has schematically indicated latching hooks 44, which are locked in the recess 6 in the front of the household appliance 9. The latching hooks 44 form a connection device 42.

Es ist festzuhalten, dass die Abdeckung 40 nicht auf den Lagerwinkel 10 selbst aufgesteckt bzw. aufgeklemmt ist, sondern mit der Aussparung 6 in der Frontblende 8 des Haushaltsgeräts 9 verrastet ist. Die Abdeckung greift dabei bündig, passgenau und ohne störende Fugen bzw. Schlitze in die Frontblende ein. Dies kann selbst dann gewährleistet werden, wenn der Lagerwinkel 10 aufgrund von Lagetoleranzen vertikal, horizontal oder in einer schrägen Richtung versetzt angeordnet ist. Als zusätzliche Stütze weist die Abdeckung 40 an ihrem freien Ende 41 einen über eine elastische Rippe 46 mit ihr verbundenen Rasthaken 45 auf, der locker, also mit Spiel, in eine entsprechende Ausnehmung 24 der Lagerbuchse 20 eingreift und damit einen Abschnitt 26 der Lagerbuchse 20, der einen kreisbogenförmigen Querschnitt aufweist und durch den das Kabel 60 dann weiter nach unten geführt wird, untergreift. Dadurch ist die Abdeckung 40 nicht an dem Lagerwinkel 10 bzw. der auf ihn aufgesteckten Lagerbuchse 20 nach oben oder unten fixiert, und es kommt selbst bei eventuell auftretenden Lagetoleranzen des Lagerwinkels 10 nicht zu einem Verziehen der Abdeckung 40 oder zu deren Verrutschen. Somit stellt der Deckel 30 eine vorläufige Positionierung des Kabels 60 sicher, während die Abdeckung 40 das Kabel 60 dann endgültig positioniert bzw. fixiert.It should be noted that the cover 40 is not plugged or clamped on the bearing bracket 10 itself, but is locked to the recess 6 in the front panel 8 of the household appliance 9. The cover engages flush, accurate and without disturbing joints or slots in the front panel. This can be ensured even if the bearing bracket 10 is arranged offset due to positional tolerances vertically, horizontally or in an oblique direction. As an additional support, the cover 40 has at its free end 41 via a resilient rib 46 with its connected latching hook 45 which engages loosely, so with play, in a corresponding recess 24 of the bearing bush 20 and thus a portion 26 of the bearing bush 20, which has a circular arc-shaped cross-section and through which the cable 60 is then guided further down, engages under. As a result, the cover 40 not fixed to the bearing bracket 10 and the plugged-on it bearing bush 20 up or down, and it comes even with possibly occurring positional tolerances of the bearing bracket 10 is not a distortion of the cover 40 or to their slipping. Thus, the lid 30 ensures preliminary positioning of the cable 60 while the cover 40 then definitively positions the cable 60.

Fig. 3 zeigt die erfindungsgemäße Abdeckung 40 mit der in das Haushaltsgerät 9 einzusetzenden Seite nach oben. Dort sind sechs Rasthaken 44 vorgesehen, die in die Aussparung 6 in der Frontblende 8 des Haushaltsgeräts 9 eingerastet werden können. An ihrem dem Lagerzapfen 12 zugewandten freien Ende 41 weist die Abdeckung 40 einen Rasthaken 45 auf, der über eine elastische Rippe 46 angebracht ist. Der Rasthaken 45 dient dem lockeren und mit vertikalem Spiel behafteten Eingriff in die in Fig. 4 gezeigte Ausnehmung 24 in der Lagerbuchse 20. Dadurch wird zwar einerseits verhindert, dass sich bei in die Aussparung 6 eingerasteter Abdeckung 40 deren freies Ende 41 von der Lagerbuchse 20 löst, aber andererseits keine Kraft auf die Abdeckung 40 ausgeübt, falls Lagetoleranzen des Lagerzapfens 12 vorhanden sind. Somit kann der Rasthaken 45 ggf. als zusätzliche Stütze für die Abdeckung 40 dienen. Fig. 3 shows the cover 40 according to the invention with the inserted into the household appliance 9 side up. There six locking hooks 44 are provided which can be snapped into the recess 6 in the front panel 8 of the household appliance 9. At its the journal 12 facing free end 41, the cover 40 has a latching hook 45, which is attached via an elastic rib 46. The latching hook 45 is used for the loose and with vertical play afflicted engagement in the Fig. 4 As a result, while it prevents on the one hand that when latched into the recess 6 cover 40 whose free end 41 detaches from the bearing bush 20, but on the other hand, no force exerted on the cover 40, if positional tolerances of the journal 12 is present are. Thus, the latching hook 45 may optionally serve as an additional support for the cover 40.

Fig. 4 zeigt die auf den Lagerwinkel 10 aufgesteckte und diesen umgreifende Abdeckung 40 sowie den Lagerwinkel 10 (bzw. dessen Lagerzapfen 12), auf den die Lagerbuchse 20 sowie der Deckel 30 aufgesteckt sind. Zum einen ist ersichtlich, dass die Abdeckung 40 passgenau in die Frontblende 8 des Haushaltsgeräts 9 eingerastet und mit dieser bündig ist. Auch der Übergang zu dem am Haushaltsgerät 9 befestigten Teil des Lagerwinkels 10 ist bündig. Zum anderen ist erkennbar, dass die Lagerbuchse 20 und der Deckel 30 so ausgestaltet sind, dass sie den Lagerzapfen 12 - jedenfalls auf der für einen Betrachter zugänglichen Seite - vollständig umschließen. Somit kann eine Lackierung des Lagerzapfens, die ansonsten aus ästhetischen Gründen geboten wäre, unterbleiben. Fig. 4 shows the plugged onto the bearing bracket 10 and this encompassing cover 40 and the bearing bracket 10 (or its bearing pin 12) on which the bearing bush 20 and the lid 30 are attached. On the one hand it can be seen that the cover 40 snugly snapped into the front panel 8 of the household appliance 9 and is flush with this. Also, the transition to the household appliance 9 fixed part of the bearing bracket 10 is flush. On the other hand, it can be seen that the bearing bushing 20 and the cover 30 are designed so that they completely enclose the bearing journal 12 - at least on the side accessible to a viewer. Thus, a painting of the journal, which would otherwise be required for aesthetic reasons, omitted.

Aus Fig. 4 ist ersichtlich, dass die Abdeckung 40 die (hier nicht gezeigte) Führungsrippe 34 des Deckels 30 übergreift bzw. umgreift und somit verhindert, dass der Deckel 30 bei einer entsprechenden Belastung durch beispielsweise einen Stoß nach oben ausweicht.Out Fig. 4 It can be seen that the cover 40 engages around the guide rib 34 of the cover 30 (not shown here) and thus prevents the cover 30 from escaping upwards during a corresponding load, for example due to a shock.
