Description

Kältegerät mit einer Kühlgutablage Refrigerating appliance with a refrigerated goods storage
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät, insbesondere ein Haushaltskältegerät mit wenigstens einer Kühlgutablage.The invention relates to a refrigeration device, in particular a household refrigerator with at least one refrigerated goods shelf.
Fachböden als Beispiel von Kühlgutablagen in Kältegeräten können für den Transport und den Gebrauch im Kältegeräteinnenraum befestigt sein. Eine für den Transport vorgesehene Transportfixierung kann besonderen Beanspruchungen unterliegen. Konventionell können Fachbodenarretierungen verwendet werden, die zusätzlich für den Transport mit Klebebändern und Styroporelementen fixiert werden. Dadurch entsteht jedoch ein nicht unerheblicher Aufwand an Material und Zeit für das Verpacken und das Auspacken.Shelves as an example of refrigerated goods in refrigerators can be mounted for transport and use in refrigeration equipment interior. An intended for transport transport fixation may be subject to special demands. Conventionally, shelf locks can be used, which are additionally fixed for transport with adhesive tapes and polystyrene elements. However, this results in a considerable amount of material and time for packaging and unpacking.
Die WO 2008/077757 A2 offenbart ein Kühlgerät mit einem Kühlraum, dessen Seitenwände beidseitig zumindest abschnittsweise wenigstens ein Paar von Führungsnuten aufweisen, in die seitliche Ränder von Kühlgutablagen einschiebbar sind. Die Kühlgutablagen weisen Haltemittel auf, die in Gegenhaltemittel im Kühlraum eingreifen. Ein Klemmteil, das an der Kühlgutablage lösbar befestigt ist, greift derart formschlüssig in den Spalt zwischen der Führungsnut und der Kühlgutablage ein, dass der Eingriff in das Gegenhaltemittel fixiert ist.WO 2008/077757 A2 discloses a cooling device with a cooling space, whose side walls have on both sides, at least in sections, at least one pair of guide grooves into which lateral edges of refrigerated goods trays can be inserted. The Kühlgutablagen have holding means which engage in counter holding means in the cold room. A clamping part, which is detachably fastened to the refrigerated goods deposit, engages in such a form-fitting manner in the gap between the guide groove and the refrigerated goods deposit that the engagement is fixed in the counter-holding means.
Die WO 2009/000718 A2 offenbart ein Haushaltskältegerät mit einem Innenbehälter, der an seinen Seitenwänden einander gegenüberliegende höhengleich angeordnete und länglich ausgebildete Auflager aufweist, auf denen sich ein Einbauteil abstützt. Einer der Auflager weist wenigstens lokal eine Aussparung oder einen Vorsprung auf, die bzw. der mit einem Rastelement des Einbauteils formschlüssig zusammenwirkt.WO 2009/000718 A2 discloses a household refrigerating appliance with an inner container, which has on its side walls opposite one another arranged at the same height and elongated supports, on which a built-in part is supported. One of the supports has at least locally a recess or a projection, which cooperates positively with a locking element of the insert.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein verbessertes Kältegerät, insbesondere ein verbessertes Haushaltskältegerät mit einer im Inneren des Kältegerätes befestigbaren Kühlgutablage anzugeben.The object of the invention is to provide an improved refrigeration appliance, in particular an improved domestic refrigeration appliance with a refrigerated goods deposit mountable in the interior of the refrigeration appliance.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird gelöst durch ein Kältegerät, aufweisend wenigstens eine Kühlgutablage und einen Korpus mit einem Kälteraum, wobei der Kälteraum zwei Seiten- flächen aufweist, an denen jeweils Auflager mit jeweils einer Auflagefläche zum Lagern der Kühlgutablage und mit jeweils einem einer Rückwand des Korpus zugewandten hinteren Ende und mit jeweils einem der Rückwand abgewandten vorderen Ende vorgesehen sind, wobei die Kühlgutablage wenigstens ein Rastelement aufweist, das insbesondere formschlüssig mit dem vorderen Ende oder dem hinteren Ende eines der Auflager verrastet. Das Kältegerät ist insbesondere ein Haushaltskältegerät, wie beispielsweise ein Kühlschrank, ein Gefrierschrank, eine Kühlgefrierkombination oder ein Weinlagerschrank. Augrund der erfindungsgemäßen Ausführung mit dem Rastelement, das zum Befestigen der Kühlgutablage mit einem der Enden des Auflagers verrastet, ergibt sich eine relativ einfache Art der Befestigung, wodurch u.a. auf eine separate Transportsicherung verzichtet werden kann.The object of the invention is achieved by a refrigeration device, comprising at least one refrigerated goods deposit and a body with a refrigerating room, wherein the refrigerating room has two side each having supports, each having a bearing surface for storing the refrigerated goods storage and each having a rear wall of the body facing rear end and each having a rear wall facing away from the front end are provided, wherein the refrigerated goods storage has at least one locking element, in particular with a positive fit latched to the front end or the rear end of one of the supports. The refrigerator is in particular a household refrigerator, such as a refrigerator, a freezer, a Kühlgefrierkombination or a wine storage cabinet. Augrund the embodiment of the invention with the locking element, which latches for securing the refrigerated goods shelf with one of the ends of the support, there is a relatively simple way of attachment, which may be waived, inter alia, a separate transport lock.
Die Auflager, die insbesondere länglich ausgebildet sein können, können z.B. an den Seitenflächen des Kälteraums eingesetzt sein. Relativ kostengünstig kann das erfindungsgemäße Kältegerät nach einer Variante hergestellt werden, wenn die Auflager an den Seitenflächen des Kälteraums angezogen sind.The supports, which may in particular be elongated, may e.g. be used on the side surfaces of the cold room. Relatively inexpensive, the refrigeration device according to the invention can be produced according to a variant, when the supports are tightened on the side surfaces of the cold room.
Gemäß einer Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Kältegeräts weist wenigstens eine der beiden Seitenflächen wenigstens zwei Auflager auf, deren Auflageflächen auf gleicher Höhe angeordnet sind, so dass eines der beiden Auflager weiter von der Rückwand entfernt ist als das andere Auflager. Insbesondere kann es vorgesehen sein, dass lediglich einem der beiden Auflager das Rastelement zugeordnet ist. Ist insbesondere das Rastelement dem weiter von der Rückwand entfernten Auflager zugeordnet, dann kann die befestigte Kühlgutablage von einer Person relativ einfach entrastet bzw. entriegeln werden, da sie zum Entriegeln bzw. Entrasten der Kühlgutablage nicht zu weit in den Kälteraum zu greifen braucht.According to one embodiment of the refrigerator according to the invention, at least one of the two side surfaces on at least two supports, the bearing surfaces are arranged at the same height, so that one of the two supports is further away from the rear wall than the other support. In particular, it can be provided that only one of the two supports the locking element is associated. If, in particular, the latching element is assigned to the support which is further away from the rear wall, then the fixed refrigerated goods deposit can be unlocked or unlocked relatively easily by a person, since it does not need to grip the refrigerated goods compartment too far in order to unlock or unlatch the refrigerated goods deposit.
Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Kältegerätes ist das Rastelement als eine elastische Rastzunge ausgebildet, deren freies Ende im verrasteten Zustand dem relevanten vorderen Ende oder dem relevanten hinteren Ende des Auflagers zugewandt ist oder dieses berührt. Ein Rastelement in Form der elastischen Rastzunge lässt sich relativ einfach herstellen, wodurch die Herstellungskosten des erfindungsgemäßen Kältegerätes reduziert werden können. Die Kühlgutablage kann vorzugsweise eine Aussparung aufweisen, in der die Rastzunge zumindest teilweise hineindrückbar ist, um die Rastzunge von dem Auflager zu entrasten. Somit ergibt sich in relativ einfacher Weise die Möglichkeit, die befestigte Kühlgutablage von dem Kälteraum zu lösen.According to a preferred embodiment of the refrigerator according to the invention, the latching element is designed as an elastic latching tongue, the free end of which in the latched state faces the relevant front end or the relevant rear end of the support or touches this. A locking element in the form of the elastic latching tongue can be relatively easily manufactured, whereby the manufacturing cost of the refrigerator according to the invention can be reduced. The refrigerated goods deposit may preferably have a recess in which the latching tongue is at least partially hineindrückbar to unlatch the latching tongue of the support. This results in a relatively simple way, the possibility to solve the fixed Kühlgutablage of the cold room.
Die Kühlgutablage weist nach einer Variante des erfindungsgemäßen Kältegerätes einen Ablagebereich insbesondere aus Glas auf, und das Rastelement ist im Bereich einer Seitenkante des Ablagebereichs befestigt. Das Rastelement ist beispielsweise ein Spritzgussteil aus Kunststoff.According to a variant of the refrigerator according to the invention, the refrigerated goods deposit has a storage area, in particular made of glass, and the latching element is fastened in the region of a side edge of the storage area. The locking element is for example an injection molded part made of plastic.
Das Rastelement kann z.B. auf der Seitenkante des Ablagebereichs aufgesteckt sein und z.B. Teil eines Rahmens für den Ablagebereich aus Glas sein. Das Rastelement kann aber auch insbesondere mit der nach unten bezüglich des Kälteraums gerichteten Fläche des Ablagebereichs im Bereich der Seitenkante verklebt sein. Der für das Verkleben verwendete Klebstoff ist vorzugsweise lebensmittelverträglich.The locking element may e.g. be plugged on the side edge of the storage area and e.g. Part of a frame for the storage area made of glass. However, the latching element can also be bonded in particular to the surface of the storage area directed downwards with respect to the cold room in the region of the side edge. The adhesive used for bonding is preferably food grade.
Die Kühlgutablage weist vorzugsweise eine Auflagefläche auf, die auf der Auflagefläche des Auflagers aufliegt. Die Auflagefläche der Kühlgutablage kann eben oder auch strukturiert, z.B. rippenförmig oder rahmenförmig ausgebildet sein.The refrigerated goods deposit preferably has a bearing surface, which rests on the support surface of the support. The bearing surface of the refrigerated goods deposit can be flat or structured, e.g. be formed rib-shaped or frame-shaped.
Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Kältegerätes umgreift die Auflagefläche der Kühlgutablage in einem Abschnitt das dem Rastelement abgewandte Ende des Auflagers zumindest teilweise. Das Umgreifen ist vorzugsweise formschlüssig. Aufgrund des das Auflager umgreifenden Abschnitts der Auflagefläche der Kühlgutablage ist es möglich, dass dieser Abschnitt mit einem der Enden des Auflagers einhackt und das andere Ende des Auflagers mit dem Rastelement verrastet. Dadurch ergibt sich eine relativ einfach herzustellende Befestigungsvorrichtung für die Kühlgutablage, mittels der die Kühlgutablage an den Auflager, also im Kälteraum befestigbar ist.According to a preferred embodiment of the refrigeration device according to the invention, the support surface of the refrigerated goods storage in a section surrounds the locking element facing away from the end of the support at least partially. The gripping is preferably a positive fit. Due to the bearing encompassing portion of the support surface of the refrigerated goods tray, it is possible that this section hacked with one of the ends of the support and the other end of the support latched to the locking element. This results in a relatively easy to manufacture fastening device for the refrigerated goods storage, by means of the refrigerated goods shelf to the support, so in the cold room can be fastened.
Diese Befestigungsvorrichtung lässt sich nach einer bevorzugten Variante des erfindungsgemäßen Kältegerätes dann relativ kostengünstig herstellen, wenn das Rastelement und die Auflagefläche der Kühlgutablage als eine einstückige, insbesondere einstoffige Befestigungsvorrichtung ausgebildet sind. Diese ist beispielsweise aus Kunststoff und lässt sich z.B. im Spritzgussverfahren herstellen. Die Befestigungsvorrichtung kann dann z.B. Teil eines Rahmens insbesondere aus Kunststoff sein, der gegebenenfalls eine Glasablage der Kühlgutablage umrandet. Es ist aber auch möglich, an jeder der beiden Seitenkanten dieses insbesondere aus Glas gefertigten Ablagebereichs eine einstückig, insbesondere einstoffig hergestellte Befestigungsvorrichtung vorzusehen.This fastening device can be produced relatively inexpensively according to a preferred variant of the refrigeration device according to the invention, when the locking element and the bearing surface of the refrigerated goods tray are formed as a one-piece, in particular einstoffige fastening device. This is for example made of plastic and can be produced for example by injection molding. The fastening device can then be part of a frame, in particular made of plastic, for example, which optionally surrounds a glass shelf of the refrigerated goods storage. But it is also possible to provide on each of the two side edges of this particular made of glass storage area a one-piece, especially one-piece fabricated fastening device.
Das erfindungsgemäße Kältegerät ermöglicht je nach Ausführungsform eine Befestigung einer insbesondere als Fachboden ausgeführten Kühlgutablage. Die erfindungsgemäße Fixierung ermöglicht gegebenenfalls die Möglichkeit, über ein relativ einfaches Bauteil mit Verrastmöglichkeit, den Fachboden im Innenbehälter, d.h. im Kälteraum derart sicher zu befestigen und zu lagern, dass auf eine gesonderte Transportssicherung verzichtet werden kann. Somit wird gegebenenfalls eine Fachbodenhalterung mit integrierter Transportsicherung geschaffen.Depending on the embodiment, the refrigerating appliance according to the invention makes it possible to fasten a refrigerated goods deposit which is designed in particular as a shelf. The fixation according to the invention optionally makes it possible, via a relatively simple component with Verrastmöglichkeit, the shelf in the inner container, i. to fix in the cold room so secure and store that can be dispensed with a separate transport security. Thus, if necessary, a shelf support with integrated transport lock is created.
Das erfindungsgemäße Innenbehälter-Interface besteht gegebenenfalls aus zwei insbesondere eingesetzten oder angezogenen, beispielsweise konisch ausgeführte Nocken (allgemein: Auflager), über die insbesondere als Fachboden ausgeführte Kühlgutablage mit den gegebenenfalls beidseitig, d.h. gegebenenfalls links und rechts angebrachten Rastelementen, geschoben wird. An den Rastelementen können für die Nocken entsprechende Aussparungen ausgeformt sein. Die beispielsweise als angespritzte Federn ausgeführten Rastelemente sorgen für eine sichere Verrastung des Fachbodens (allg.: Kältegutablage). Diese Federn können insbesondere als Tasten ausgebildet sein, wodurch ein Entriegeln der befestigten Kühlgutablage selbsterklärend ist. Gegebenenfalls durch Drücken der Tasten nach oben wird die beispielsweise als Fachboden ausgebildete Kühlgutablage gleichzeitig angehoben und aus der Fixierung gelöst.The inner container interface according to the invention optionally consists of two in particular used or attracted, for example conically executed cams (in general: support), on which in particular designed as a shelf refrigerated goods with the optionally on both sides, i. optionally left and right attached locking elements, is pushed. At the locking elements corresponding recesses may be formed for the cam. The latching elements designed, for example, as molded-on springs ensure secure latching of the shelf (general: refrigerated goods storage). These springs can be designed in particular as buttons, whereby unlocking the fixed refrigerated goods shelf is self-explanatory. Optionally, by pressing the buttons up the designed, for example, shelf as refrigerated goods shelf is raised simultaneously and released from the fixation.
Ein Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Kältegerätes kann eine relativ einfache und kostengünstige Herstellung des das Rastelement umfassenden Bauteils sein. Wird insbesondere ein Fachboden als Kühlgutablage verwendet, so kann dieser eine Glasablage aufweisen, die oft ganz oder zum Teil mit Kunststoffelementen zur Fixierung im Innenbehälter (Kälteraum) umgeben ist. Das das Rastelement aufweisende Bauteil kann dann entsprechend ausgeformt werden und somit zumindest annähernd kostenneutral zu herkömmlichen Fachbodenkonzepten hergestellt werden. Die Kosten für eine zusätzliche Transportsicherung können somit komplett entfallen. Vorteilig ist die erfindungsgemäße Fixierung der Fachböden (allg.: Kühlgutablage) auch im bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch des erfindungsgemäßen Kältegerätes. Z.B. die Vorderkante der insbesondere als Fachboden ausgeführten Kühlgutablage kann durch Herausnehmen von Kühlgut z.B. aus der unteren Tragplatte nicht versehentlich angehoben werden und so Kühlgut verschüttet werden.An advantage of the refrigerator according to the invention may be a relatively simple and cost-effective production of the component comprising the detent element. If, in particular, a shelf is used as a refrigerated goods store, it can have a glass shelf, which is often completely or partially surrounded by plastic elements for fixing in the inner container (cold room). The component having the latching element can then be correspondingly shaped and thus produced at least approximately cost neutral to conventional shelf concepts. The costs for additional transport security can thus be completely eliminated. Advantageously, the inventive fixation of the shelves (gen .: Kühlgutablage) even in the intended use of the refrigerator according to the invention. For example, the leading edge of the refrigerated goods tray, which is designed in particular as a shelf, can not be accidentally raised by removing refrigerated goods, for example from the lower support plate, and so refrigerated goods are spilled.

Im befestigten Zustand umgreifen die Auflageflächen 26a, 26b der Befestigungsvorrichtungen 18 mit einem Abschnitt 32 im Falle des vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiels eine der beiden Enden 25a, 25b insbesondere formschlüssig. Im Falle des vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiels umgreifen die Auflageflächen 26a, 26b die vorderen Enden 24b der relevanten Auflager 22a, 22b insbesondere formschlüssig. Dadurch wird u.A. verhindert, dass die Kühlgutablage13 über eine durch das Umgreifen vorgegebene Position in Richtung Rückwand 3 des Kühlraums 7 rutschen kann. Außerdem wird verhindert, dass die Kühlgutablage 13 nach oben verrutschen kann.In the fastened state, the bearing surfaces 26a, 26b of the fastening devices 18 engage around a section 32 in the case of the present exemplary embodiment one of the two ends 25a, 25b in particular in a form-fitting manner. In the case of the present exemplary embodiment, the bearing surfaces 26a, 26b engage around the front ends 24b of the relevant supports 22a, 22b in particular in a form-fitting manner. As a result, it is prevented, inter alia, that the refrigerated goods deposit 13 can slip over a position predetermined by the encompassing position in the direction of the rear wall 3 of the cooling space 7. In addition, it is prevented that the refrigerated goods tray 13 can slip upwards.
Im Falle des vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiels weisen die Befestigungsvorrichtungen 18 z.B. einstückig, insbesondere einstoffig angeformte Rastelemente 27 auf, die im befestigten Zustand der Kühlgutablage 13 diese an die relevanten Auflager 22a fixieren. Im Falle des vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiels sind die Rastelemente 27 nur für die vorderen Auflager 22a vorgesehen. Es ist aber auch möglich, dass die Rastelemente 27 nur für die hinteren Auflager 22b, für die vorderen Auflager 22a und für die hinteren Auflager 22b oder nur für eine der Auflager 22a, 22b vorgesehen sind. Die Rastelemente 27 verrasten mit den hinteren Enden 25b der Auflager 22a.In the case of the present embodiment, the fastening devices 18 have e.g. in one piece, in particular one-piece integrally formed latching elements 27 which, in the attached state of the refrigerated goods deposit 13, fix them to the relevant supports 22a. In the case of the present embodiment, the locking elements 27 are provided only for the front supports 22a. But it is also possible that the locking elements 27 are provided only for the rear supports 22b, for the front support 22a and for the rear supports 22b or only one of the supports 22a, 22b. The locking elements 27 engage with the rear ends 25b of the supports 22a.
Die Rastelemente 27 weisen beispielsweise die Form einer elastischen Rastzunge 28 bzw. die Form einer einsseitig an der Befestigungsvorrichtung 18 angeformten elastischen Rastlasche auf, deren von dem Ablagebereich 14 abgewandten Fläche 29 im eingerasteten Zustand bzw. Grundzustand von dem Ablagebereich 14 weiter entfernt ist als die Auflagefläche 26a, um die Verrastung mit dem vorderen Auflager 22a zu ermöglichen. Im verrasteten Zustand sind die freien Enden der Rastzungen 28 den hinteren Enden 25b der vorderen Auflager 22a zugewandt bzw. berühren diese.The locking elements 27 have, for example, the shape of an elastic locking tongue 28 or the shape of an integrally formed on the fastening device 18 elastic locking tab whose remote from the storage area 14 surface 29 in the locked state or ground state of the storage area 14 is further away than the support surface 26a to allow the engagement with the front support 22a. In the locked state, the free ends of the locking tongues 28 are the rear ends 25b of the front support 22a facing or touching them.
Die Befestigungsvorrichtungen 28 weisen jeweils eine Aussparung 30 auf, in der die Rastzungen 28 für das Einlegen der Kühlgutablage 13 eingedrückt werden können. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Kühlgutablage 13 nach dem Fixieren, d.h. nach dem Verrasten mit den Rastelemente 27 auch wieder von dem Kühlraum 7 der Gefrier- Kühlkombination 1 entfernen zu können, indem z.B. eine nicht näher dargestellte Person die Rastzungen 28 in die Aussparungen 30 drückt. Um der Person das Auffinden der Rastelemente 27 zu erleichtern, können die dem Ablagebereich 14 abgewandten Flächen 29 der Rastzungen 28 eine insbesondere kreisförmige Einbuchtung 31 umfassen.The fastening devices 28 each have a recess 30 in which the locking tongues 28 can be pressed for the insertion of the refrigerated goods tray 13. This makes it possible to store the refrigerated goods deposit 13 after fixing, i. after locking with the locking elements 27 also to be able to remove again from the cooling space 7 of the freezer-cooling combination 1, by e.g. a person not shown presses the locking tongues 28 in the recesses 30. In order to make it easier for the person to locate the latching elements 27, the surfaces 29 of the latching tongues 28 facing away from the storage area 14 may comprise a particularly circular indentation 31.
Die Figuren 5 bis 9 veranschaulichen das Einlegen der als Fachboden ausgebildeten Kühlgutablage 13 bzw. das Fixieren der Kühlgutablage 13 mit den Auflagern 22a, 22b. Um die Kühlgutablage 13 mit den vorderen Auflager 22a zu verrasten, wird beim Einlegen der Kühlgutablage 13 die Rastzunge 28 von dem vorderen Auflager 22a in die Aussparung 30 der Befestigungsvorrichtung 18 gedrückt (siehe Fig. 8). Befindet sich die Kühlgutablage 13 in ihrer gewollten Position, d.h. liegen die vorderen Enden 25a der Auflager 22a, 22b an den die Auflager 22a, 22b umgreifenden Abschnitten 32 der Auflageflächen 26a, 26b der Befestigungsvorrichtungen 18 an, dann schnappen die Rastungen 28 in ihren Grundzustand und verrasten somit mit den hinteren Enden 25b der vorderen Auflager 22a.FIGS. 5 to 9 illustrate the insertion of the refrigerated goods deposit 13 formed as a shelf, or the fixing of the refrigerated goods deposit 13 with the supports 22a, 22b. In order to lock the refrigerated goods deposit 13 with the front support 22a, the latching tongue 28 is pressed by the front support 22a into the recess 30 of the fixing device 18 when inserting the refrigerated goods deposit 13 (see FIG. 8). The Kühlgutablage 13 is in its desired position, ie are the front ends 25a of the supports 22a, 22b on the supports 22a, 22b embracing portions 32 of the bearing surfaces 26a, 26b of the fasteners 18, then snap the notches 28 in their ground state and thus latch with the rear ends 25b of the front supports 22a.
