At least one closure part (19; 15) of the container (7) can be displaced between an open and a closed position. When the closure part (19, 15) is in the open position, the container (7) communicates with a high pressure area (22) and a low pressure area (23) of the storage compartment (5).

Description

Kältegerät mit Gemüsefach  Refrigerating appliance with vegetable compartment
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät, insbesondere ein Haushaltskältegerät, mit einem Lagerraum und einem in dem Lagerraum untergebrachten, zumindest weitgehend geschlossenen Behälter. Im Inneren eines solchen Behälters kann ein feuchteres Mikroklima aufrecht erhalten werden als in dem umgebenden Lagerraum, dessen Luft im Betrieb des Kältegeräts ständig in Kontakt mit einer kalten The present invention relates to a refrigeration appliance, in particular a domestic refrigeration appliance, with a storage room and a container accommodated in the storage room, at least substantially closed container. In the interior of such a container, a more humid microclimate can be maintained than in the surrounding storage space, the air in the operation of the refrigerator constantly in contact with a cold
Verdampferoberfläche entfeuchtet wird. Das feuchte Mikroklima in dem Behälter eignet sich besonders zum Lagern von Lebensmitteln, die kontinuierlich Wasser verdunsten und durch die Verdunstung an Qualität einbüßen, insbesondere von frischem Gemüse, Obst und dergleichen. Ein solcher Behälter wird daher gemeinhin auch als Gemüsefach oder Gemüsebox bezeichnet. Evaporator surface is dehumidified. The moist microclimate in the container is particularly suitable for storing foods that continuously evaporate water and deteriorate by the evaporation of quality, especially of fresh vegetables, fruits and the like. Such a container is therefore commonly referred to as a vegetable compartment or vegetable box.
Da verschiedene Lebensmittel unterschiedliche Niveaus der Luftfeuchtigkeit zur optimalen Erhaltung ihrer Frische brauchen, kann es in Abhängigkeit von der Art der in dem Behälter untergebrachten Lebensmittel erforderlich sein, Feuchtigkeit aus dem Behälter Since different foods require different levels of humidity to optimally maintain their freshness, moisture from the container may be required depending on the type of food placed in the container
abzuführen. Herkömmlicherweise dient zur Steuerung der Feuchtigkeitsabgabe aus dem Behälter ein in einer Frontseite oder einem Deckel des Behälters angebrachter verschiebbarer Verschluss, der in einer offenen Stellung das Entweichen von feuchter Luft aus dem Behälter erlaubt. Diese bekannte Lösung ist jedoch wenig effektiv, so dass insbesondere wenn stark transpirierendes Kühlgut in dem Behälter untergebracht ist,dissipate. Conventionally, to control the release of moisture from the container, a slidable closure mounted in a front or lid of the container serves to allow humid air to escape from the container in an open position. However, this known solution is not very effective, so that in particular when strongly transpiring refrigerated goods are accommodated in the container,
Wasser an einer kalten Wand des Behälters auskondensieren und sich am Behälterboden sammeln kann. Diese Gefahr ist insbesondere noch durch die Tatsache verstärkt, dass die kälteste Wand des Behälters meist die Rückwand ist und dort, da sie am weitesten von dem Verschluss entfernt ist, die höchsten Luftfeuchtigkeitswerte erreicht werden. Wenn das Kühlgut in Kontakt mit auskondensiertem Wasser gelangt, ist seine Condensate water on a cold wall of the container and collect on the bottom of the container. This danger is particularly reinforced by the fact that the coldest wall of the container is usually the back wall and there, since it is farthest from the closure, the highest humidity levels are achieved. When the goods to be cooled come into contact with condensed water, its
Lagerfähigkeit empfindlich beeinträchtigt. Shelf life is severely impaired.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist daher, ein Kältegerät mit einem Lagerraum und einem in dem Lagerraum untergebrachten Behälter anzugeben, bei dem eine wirksamere Kontrolle der Feuchtigkeit im Behälter als bei den herkömmlichen Geräten möglich ist. The object of the invention is therefore to provide a refrigerator with a storage room and a container housed in the storage room, in which a more effective control of the moisture in the container than in the conventional devices is possible.
Unter Kältegerät wird insbesondere ein Haushaltskältegerät verstanden, das heißt ein Kältegerät, das zur Haushaltführung eingesetzt wird, wie beispielsweise ein Kühlschrank oder eine Kühlgefrierkombination. Bei dem Kältegerät kann es sich um ein No-Frost- Kältegerät handeln, bei dem zur Kühlung seines Lagerraums kalte Luft von einer Under refrigeration device is in particular a household refrigeration appliance understood, that is, a refrigerator, which is used for household management, such as a refrigerator or a fridge freezer combination. The refrigeration device can be a no-frost refrigeration device, in which cold air is supplied to a refrigerator for cooling its storage space
Verdampferkammer in den Lagerraum geblasen wird. Evaporator chamber is blown into the storage room.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst, indem bei einem Kältegerät mit einem Lagerraum und einem von dem Lagerraum abgeteilten Behälter, bei dem wenigstens ein Verschlussteil des The object is achieved by providing in a refrigerator with a storage room and a compartment separated from the storage space, in which at least one closure part of the
Behälters zwischen einer offenen und einer verschlossenen Stellung verstellbar ist, der Behälter in der offenen Stellung des Verschlussteils mit einem Hochdruckbereich und einem Niederdruckbereich des Lagerraums kommuniziert. Durch die gleichzeitige  Container is adjustable between an open and a closed position, the container communicates in the open position of the closure part with a high pressure area and a low pressure area of the storage room. By the simultaneous
Verbindung mit dem Hochdruckbereich und dem Niederdruckbereich wird ein Luftstrom durch den Behälter angetrieben, der zu einem wirksamen Luftaustausch führt. Connection to the high pressure area and the low pressure area, an air flow through the container is driven, which leads to an effective air exchange.
Um die Intensität des Luftaustauschs und die damit verbundene Entfeuchtung an die Art und Beschaffenheit des Lagerguts im Behälter anpassen zu können, ist das Verschlussteil vorzugsweise zwischen der geschlossenen und der offenen Stellung kontinuierlich einstellbar. In order to be able to adapt the intensity of the air exchange and the associated dehumidification to the type and nature of the stored material in the container, the closure part is preferably continuously adjustable between the closed and the open position.
Um ein Druckgefälle zwischen Hochdruckbereich und Niederdruckbereich des To a pressure gradient between high pressure range and low pressure range of
Lagerraums zu erzeugen, ist kann ein Ventilator vorgesehen werden; es kann dies insbesondere derselbe Ventilator sein, der in einem No-Frost-Kältegerät den To generate storage space, a fan can be provided; it may be in particular the same fan that in a no-frost refrigerator the
Luftaustausch zwischen dem Lagerraum und einer Verdampferkammer antreibt. Air exchange between the storage room and an evaporator chamber drives.
Um einen wirksamen Luftaustausch im ganzen Behälter zu bewirken, grenzen der Hochdruckbereich und der Niederdruckbereich des Lagerraums vorzugsweise an einander entgegengesetzte Wände des Behälters an. In order to effect an effective air exchange in the whole container, the high-pressure area and the low-pressure area of the storage space preferably adjoin opposite walls of the container.
Einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung zufolge ist das Verschlussteil ein Deckel des Behälters, der in der offenen Stellung von einer Schale des Behälters abgehoben ist. According to a preferred embodiment, the closure part is a lid of the container, which is lifted in the open position by a shell of the container.
Der Lagerraum kann so konstruiert sein, dass ein Strömungsweg zumindest in der geschlossenen Stellung des Deckels über dem Deckel verläuft. Indem der Deckel angehoben wird, kann wenigstens ein Teil des über diesen Weg verlaufenden Luftstroms in den Behälter hinein umgelenkt werden. Damit der Deckel nicht den Zugriff auf den Inhalt des Behälters behindert, sollte die Schale unabhängig vom Deckel herausziehbar sein. Dies ist insbesondere erreichbar, wenn der Deckel von einer sich über ihn erstreckenden horizontalen Wand abgehängt ist. The storage space may be constructed such that a flow path extends over the lid at least in the closed position of the lid. By raising the lid, at least part of the air flow passing through this path can be diverted into the container. So that the lid does not obstruct access to the contents of the container, the tray should be able to be pulled out independently of the lid. This is particularly achievable when the lid is suspended from a horizontal wall extending over it.
Vorzugsweise handelt es sich bei dieser horizontalen Wand um eine in den Lagerraum eingefügte Platte. Diese Platte ist insbesondere ein Fachboden des Lagerraums. Indem die Platte vom sonstigen Gehäuse des Kältegeräts, insbesondere von einem den Preferably, this horizontal wall is a plate inserted into the storage space. This plate is in particular a shelf of the storage room. By the plate from the other housing of the refrigerator, in particular of a
Lagerraum begrenzenden Innenbehälter, getrennt ist, kann ein an sich bekanntes Gehäuse verwendet werden, um ein erfindungsgemäßes Kältegerät zu schaffen. Dies ermöglicht zum einen eine preiswerte Fertigung des erfindungsgemäßen Kältegeräts durch weitgehende Verwendung bereits existierender Komponenten, zum anderen besteht auch die Möglichkeit, ein existierendes Kältegerät erfindungsgemäß aufzurüsten. Storage space limiting inner container is separated, a known per se housing can be used to provide a refrigeration device according to the invention. On the one hand, this makes it possible to produce the refrigerating appliance according to the invention inexpensively by making extensive use of already existing components; on the other hand, it is also possible to upgrade an existing refrigerating appliance according to the invention.
Um den Deckel vertikal zu verstellen, ist vorzugsweise ein horizontal beweglich geführter Schieber vorgesehen, und von Deckel und Schieber weist der eine eine schräge In order to adjust the lid vertically, preferably a horizontally movably guided slider is provided, and of the lid and slider, the one has an oblique
Führungskontur und der andere ein mit der Führungskontur zusammenwirkendes und relativ zur Führungskontur verschiebbares Element auf. Guide contour and the other one cooperating with the guide contour and relative to the guide contour displaceable element.
Um für einen Benutzer bequem zugänglich zu sein, ist der Schieber vorzugsweise an einer Vorderkante der horizontalen Wand angebracht. In order to be conveniently accessible to a user, the slider is preferably mounted on a front edge of the horizontal wall.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen schematischen Querschnitt durch ein No-Frost-Haushaltskältegerät mit einem Korpus 1 und einer Tür 2, die einen Innenraum umgeben. Der Innenraum ist durch eine unter der Decke des Korpus montierte Schale 3 gegliedert in eine Fig. 1 shows a schematic cross section through a no-frost household refrigerator with a body 1 and a door 2, which surround an interior. The interior is divided by a mounted under the ceiling of the carcass shell 3 into a
Verdampferkammer 4 und einen Lagerraum 5 für Kühlgut, wobei von dem Lagerraum 5 durch eine horizontale Platte 6, die insbesondere als Glasplatte ausgebildet ist, in Evaporator chamber 4 and a storage space 5 for refrigerated goods, wherein from the storage room 5 by a horizontal plate 6, which is in particular designed as a glass plate, in
Bodennähe ein Fach für einen Behälter 7, der in Form eines Auszugskastens ausgebildet ist, abgetrennt ist. Near the bottom of a compartment for a container 7, which is in the form of a pull-out box, is separated.
In der Verdampferkammer 4 sind in an sich bekannter Weise ein Verdampfer 8 und ein Ventilator 9 untergebracht. Wenn der Ventilator 9 in Betrieb ist, saugt er Luft aus dem Lagerraum 5 über Öffnungen 10 an einem vorderen Rand der Schale 3 in die In the evaporator chamber 4, an evaporator 8 and a fan 9 are housed in a conventional manner. When the fan 9 is in operation, it sucks air from the storage room 5 via openings 10 at a front edge of the shell 3 in the
Verdampferkammer 4, wo sie in Kontakt mit dem Verdampfer 8 abkühlt, und drückt die abgekühlte Luft in eine Verteilerleitung 1 1 , die in einer Rückwand des Korpus 1 abwärts verläuft. Mehrere Austrittsöffnungen 12 der Verteilerleitung 1 1 münden in unterschiedlichen Höhen in den Lagerraum 5; eine unterste Austrittsöffnung 13 mündet unterhalb der Platte 6 in das Fach des Behälters 7. Evaporator chamber 4, where it cools in contact with the evaporator 8, and pushes the cooled air into a distribution line 1 1, which extends in a rear wall of the body 1 downwards. Several outlet openings 12 of the distribution line 1 1 open in different heights in the storage room 5; a lowermost outlet opening 13 opens below the plate 6 in the compartment of the container. 7
Der Behälter 7 umfasst eine aus Kunststoff spritzgeformte Schale 14 und einen Deckel 15, der die Schale 14 in ihrer in Fig. 1 gezeigten, bis zum Anschlag in den Korpus 1 eingeschobenen Stellung überdeckt. Ein Strömungskanal 16 erstreckt sich in The container 7 comprises a molded plastic shell 14 and a lid 15, which covers the shell 14 in its shown in Fig. 1, inserted into the body 1 to the stop position. A flow channel 16 extends in
Verlängerung der Verteilerleitung 1 1 im Anschluss an deren Austrittsöffnung 13 zwischen dem Deckel 15 und der Platte 6. In dem Deckel 15 sind zwei Gruppen von Öffnungen 17, Extension of the distribution line 1 1 following its outlet opening 13 between the lid 15 and the plate 6. In the lid 15 are two groups of openings 17,
18 gebildet, eine am rückwärtigen, der Austrittsöffnung 13 benachbarten Rand des Deckels 15 bzw. an einem hochdruckseitigen Ende 22 des Strömungskanals 16, die andere an dem vorderen, der Tür 2 benachbarten Rand des Deckels 15 bzw. einem niederdruckseitigen Ende 23 des Strömungskanals 16. Ein auf oder, wie in der Fig. 1 dargestellten, unter den Deckel 15 horizontal verschiebbar montiertes Verschlusselement18 formed at the rear, the outlet opening 13 adjacent edge of the lid 15 and at a high-pressure side end 22 of the flow channel 16, the other at the front, the door 2 adjacent edge of the lid 15 and a low-pressure end 23 of the flow channel sixteenth An on or, as shown in FIG. 1, under the lid 15 horizontally slidably mounted closure element
19 umfasst eine Mehrzahl von Fingern 20, die in der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Stellung des Verschlusselements 19 die Öffnungen 17, 18 verdecken. Das Verschlusselement 19 ist in Tiefenrichtung des Korpus 1 verschiebbar, so dass der Grad der Überlappung zwischen den Öffnungen 17, 18 und den Fingern 20 stufenlos einstellbar ist, um die Stärke des Luftstroms, der von den Öffnungen 17 zu den Öffnungen 18 durch den Behälter 7 verläuft, stufenlos einzustellen und den Bedürfnissen des jeweils darin untergebrachten Kühlguts anzupassen. 19 includes a plurality of fingers 20 which obscure the openings 17, 18 in the position of the closure element 19 shown in FIG. The closure element 19 is displaceable in the depth direction of the body 1, so that the degree of overlap between the openings 17, 18 and the fingers 20 is infinitely adjustable to the strength of the air flow from the openings 17 to the openings 18 through the container 7 runs, infinitely adjust and adapt to the needs of each housed refrigerated goods.
Einer alternativen Ausgestaltung zu Folge kann eine in Fig. 1 gestrichelt dargestellte Sperre 21 zwischen dem Deckel 15 und der Platte 6 angeordnet sein, die den zwischen den Strömungskanal 16 blockiert oder zumindest einengt und so die Druckdifferenz zwischen den Bereichen 22 bzw. 23 vor bzw. hinter den Öffnungen 17, 18 erhöht und dadurch in offener Stellung des Verschlusselements 19 den Luftstrom durch den Behälter 7 verstärkt. An alternative embodiment to result in a dashed line in Fig. 1 illustrated barrier 21 may be disposed between the cover 15 and the plate 6, which blocks or at least constricts the between the flow channel 16 and so the pressure difference between the areas 22 and 23 before and increases behind the openings 17, 18 and thereby reinforced in the open position of the closure member 19, the air flow through the container 7.
Um - bei geeigneter Platzierung des Verschlusselements 19 - einen möglichst intensiven Luftstrom durch den Behälter 7 zu erzielen, müsste die Sperre 21 an sich den Durchgang zwischen der Platte 6 und dem Deckel 15 komplett blockieren. Dies würde jedoch, wenn das Verschlusselement 19 in Schließstellung ist, dazu führen, dass der Luftstrom durch die Austrittsöffnung 13 komplett blockiert ist oder, bei der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Anordnung, komplett auf einen Strömungsweg 25 umgeleitet wird, der unter der Schale 14 entlangführt. Eine Kühlung des Behälters 7 über seinen Deckel 15 ist dann nicht mehr möglich, was zu einer unerwünschten Temperaturschichtung im Behältern 7 führen kann. In order - to achieve the most intense possible air flow through the container 7 - with a suitable placement of the closure element 19, the barrier 21 would have to block completely the passage between the plate 6 and the lid 15. However, this would, when the closure member 19 is in the closed position, cause the air flow through the outlet opening 13 is completely blocked or, in the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, completely redirected to a flow path 25, which is below the shell 14th skirting. A cooling of the container 7 via its lid 15 is then no longer possible, which can lead to an undesirable temperature stratification in the container 7.
Dieses Problem wird vermieden bei der in Fig. 2 gezeigten zweiten Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Kältegeräts. Das Gehäuse des Kältegeräts und die darin montierte Platte 6 sind dieselben wie bei der Ausgestaltung der Fig. 1 und werden nicht erneut beschrieben. Der Behälter 7 ist ebenfalls als Auszugskasten ausgebildet und umfasst wiederum eine Schale 14 und einen Deckel 15, doch fehlen an diesem Deckel 15 This problem is avoided in the second embodiment of the refrigeration device according to the invention shown in FIG. The housing of the refrigerator and the plate 6 mounted therein are the same as in the embodiment of Fig. 1 and will not be described again. The container 7 is also designed as a pull-out box and in turn comprises a shell 14 and a lid 15, but missing on this cover 15th
Öffnungen und ein diese Öffnungen mehr oder weniger stark überdeckendes Openings and these openings more or less overlapping
Verschlusselement, sondern der Deckel 15 ist als ganzes vertikal zwischen einer gestrichelt dargestellten geschlossenen Stellung, in der ein Strömungskanal 16 zwischen dem Deckel 15 und der Platte 6 offen ist, und einer mit durchgezogenen Linien Closure element, but the lid 15 is as a whole vertically between a closed position shown in dashed lines, in which a flow channel 16 between the lid 15 and the plate 6 is open, and one with solid lines
dargestellten offenen Stellung verstellbar, in der der Strömungskanal 16 zwischen Platte 6 und Deckel 15 zumindest weitgehend versperrt ist und stattdessen ein durch den Behälter 7 verlaufender Strömungskanal 26 offen ist. So ist die Druckdifferenz zwischen den Bereichen 22 an der Austrittsöffnung 13 und 23 an der Vorderkante der Platte 6 von der Stellung des Deckels 15 im Wesentlichen unabhängig, und der Behälter 7 ist unabhängig von der Stellung des Deckels 15 immer gleich gut gekühlt. illustrated open position in which the flow channel 16 between the plate 6 and lid 15 is at least largely blocked and instead a running through the container 7 flow channel 26 is open. Thus, the pressure difference between the regions 22 at the outlet opening 13 and 23 at the front edge of the plate 6 is substantially independent of the position of the lid 15, and the container 7 is always equally well cooled regardless of the position of the lid 15.
Fig. 3 zeigt einen schematischen Schnitt durch ein Kältegerät gemäß einer dritten Fig. 3 shows a schematic section through a refrigerator according to a third
Ausgestaltung der Erfindung. Es handelt sich hier um ein Coldwall-Gerät mit einem in einer Rückwand des Korpus 1 angeordneten Verdampfer 8. Der Behälter 7 ist vom gleichen Typ wie mit Bezug auf Fig. 2 beschrieben. Ein über dem Behälter 7 angebrachter zweiter Auszugkasten 24 überlappt in der Vertikalen mit dem Verdampfer 8, so dass ein Spalt 45 zwischen dem Auszugkasten 24 und der Rückwand intensiv gekühlt ist. In dem Spalt 45 abwärts strömende Kaltluft hält ein Druckgefälle zwischen den Bereichen 22, 23 an Rück- bzw. Vorderseite des Behälters 7 aufrecht. Embodiment of the invention. This is a coldwall device with an evaporator 8 arranged in a rear wall of the body 1. The container 7 is of the same type as described with reference to FIG. A mounted above the container 7 second drawer 24 overlaps in the vertical with the evaporator 8, so that a gap 45 is intensively cooled between the drawer 24 and the rear wall. Cold air flowing downward in the gap 45 maintains a pressure gradient between the regions 22, 23 at the rear or front side of the container 7.
Fig. 4 zeigt eine detaillierte Ansicht einer Platte 6, eines Deckels 15 und einer Schale 14, die in einem Kältegerät gemäß der zweiten oder dritten Ausgestaltung verwendbar sind. Fig. 4 shows a detailed view of a plate 6, a lid 15 and a shell 14, which are usable in a refrigerator according to the second or third embodiment.
Die Platte 6 aus Sicherheitsglas ist an ihrem vorderen und hinteren Rand in zwei Profile 27, 28 aus Kunststoff oder Metall, insbesondere Aluminium, eingefasst. An den Profilen 27, 28 sind jeweils benachbart zu den Ecken der Platte 6 nach unten ausgreifende Laschen 29 bzw. 30 angebracht. Die Laschen 29 des vorderen Profils 27 weisen jeweils einen schräg abwärts gerichteten Schlitz 31 auf. The plate 6 made of safety glass is at its front and rear edge in two profiles 27, 28 made of plastic or metal, in particular aluminum, edged. At the profiles 27, 28 are each adjacent to the corners of the plate 6 downwardly extending Lugs 29 and 30 attached. The tabs 29 of the front profile 27 each have an obliquely downward slot 31.
Der Deckel 15 ist hier im Wesentlichen eine flache rechteckige Platte aus Kunststoff mit einen rechteckigen Rahmen bildenden versteifenden Rippen 32 an seiner Oberseite. An einer zum hinteren Rand der Platte benachbarten Rippe 32 sind zwei Haken angeformt, deren freies Ende jeweils durch eine schräg nach hinten abfallende Zunge 33 gebildet ist. Im zusammengefügten Zustand erstrecken sich die Zungen 33 jeweils durch eine Öffnung der hinteren Laschen 30. Benachbart zu den vorderen Ecken des Deckels 15 stehen von den Rippen 32 jeweils Stifte 34 seitwärts ab. Diese Stifte greifen im montierten Zustand in die schrägen Schlitze 31 der vorderen Laschen 29 ein. Eine Führungskontur in Form eines schräg, in Tiefen- und Breitenrichtung des Korpus 1 , verlaufenden Schlitzes 35 erstreckt sich am vorderen Rand des Deckels 15. The lid 15 is here essentially a flat rectangular plate made of plastic with a rectangular frame forming stiffening ribs 32 on its upper side. At one to the rear edge of the plate adjacent rib 32 two hooks are formed, the free end is formed in each case by an obliquely sloping backward tongue 33. In the assembled state, the tongues 33 each extend through an opening of the rear flaps 30. Adjacent to the front corners of the lid 15 are of the ribs 32 each pins 34 sideways from. These pins engage in the mounted state in the oblique slots 31 of the front tabs 29 a. A guide contour in the form of an obliquely, in the depth and width direction of the body 1, extending slot 35 extends at the front edge of the lid 15th
Ein am vorderen Profil 27 verrastbarer und in dessen Längsrichtung bewegbarer Schieber 36 ist in Fig. 5 in einer perspektivischen Ansicht schräg von unten gezeigt. Der Schieber 36 umfasst drei einteilig, ähnlich einem asymmetrischen U-Profil rechtwinklig verbundene Wandelemente, die in zusammengefügtem Zustand das Profil 27 an seiner Vorder-, Ober- und Rückseite umgreifen. Ein Handhabungsabschnitt 40, an dem der Schieber 36 zum Verschieben bequem gegriffen werden kann, steht von dem Wandelement 37 nach vorn ab. An einer entgegengesetzten Seite des Wandelements 37 ist ein Finger 41 angeformt, der sich im zusammengefügten Zustand unterhalb der Unterseite des Profils 27 erstreckt. Ein nach unten abgewinkelter Endabschnitt 42 des Fingers 41 ist vorgesehen, um in montiertem Zustand in den Schlitz 35 des Deckels 15 einzugreifen. Die Länge dieses Endabschnitts entspricht wenigstens der vertikalen Bewegungsfreiheit des Deckels 15. Der Eingriff des Endabschnitts 41 in den Schlitz 35 begrenzt die Bewegungsfreiheit des Schiebers 36 entlang des Profils 27, und er erzwingt eine an die Seitwärtsbewegung des Schiebers 36 gekoppelte Bewegung des Deckels 15 in Tiefenrichtung des Korpus 1. Der Eingriff der Stifte 34 und Zungen 33 in den Laschen 29, 30 wiederum schränkt die Bewegungsfreiheit des Deckels 15 auf eine schräg nach vorn ansteigende Bahn ein, so dass eine Bewegung des Deckels 15 in Tiefenrichtung zwangsläufig verbunden ist mit einer Bewegung in der Vertikalen. Das heißt, wenn der Schieber 36 sich in einer A slide 36 latchable on the front profile 27 and movable in the longitudinal direction thereof is shown obliquely from below in FIG. 5 in a perspective view. The slider 36 comprises three one-piece, similar to an asymmetric U-profile connected at right angles wall elements which engage around the profile 27 at its front, top and back in the assembled state. A handling portion 40, on which the slider 36 can be comfortably gripped for shifting, projects from the wall member 37 to the front. On an opposite side of the wall member 37, a finger 41 is formed, which extends in the assembled state below the underside of the profile 27. A downwardly angled end portion 42 of the finger 41 is provided to engage in the assembled state in the slot 35 of the lid 15. The length of this end portion corresponds at least to the vertical freedom of movement of the lid 15. The engagement of the end portion 41 in the slot 35 limits the freedom of movement of the slider 36 along the profile 27 and forces a movement of the lid 15 in the depth direction coupled to the lateral movement of the slider 36 the body 1. The engagement of the pins 34 and tongues 33 in the tabs 29, 30 in turn restricts the freedom of movement of the lid 15 on a sloping forward rising path, so that movement of the lid 15 in the depth direction is necessarily associated with a movement in the vertical. That is, when the slider 36 is in a
Anschlagstellung befindet, in der der Finger 41 an das linke Ende des Schlitzes 35 anstößt, befindet sich der Deckel 15 in einer geschlossenen Stellung, in der er vollumfänglich auf einer horizontalen Anschlagfläche 44 am oberen Rand der Wände der Schale 14 aufliegt und die Schale 14 dicht verschließt. Die Anschlagfläche 44 ist an drei Seiten von einem Rahmen 43 umgeben, um die Position des Deckels 15 eindeutig festzulegen. An einer Rückseite der Schale 14 ist der Rahmen 43 offen, damit die Schale 14 aus dem Kältegerät herausgezogen werden kann, ohne den Deckel 15 mitzunehmen, auch wenn sich dieser in der geschlossenen Stellung befindet. Die Stifte 34 befinden sich jeweils am unteren, hinteren Ende der Schlitze 31 , und die Zungen 33 sind auf fast ihrer gesamten Länge durch die Öffnungen der Laschen 30 hindurchgeschoben. Stop position is located in which the finger 41 abuts the left end of the slot 35, the lid 15 is in a closed position in which he fully rests on a horizontal stop surface 44 at the upper edge of the walls of the shell 14 and the shell 14 closes tightly. The stop surface 44 is surrounded on three sides by a frame 43 to define the position of the lid 15 uniquely. At a rear of the shell 14, the frame 43 is open, so that the shell 14 can be pulled out of the refrigerator without taking the lid 15, even if it is in the closed position. The pins 34 are located respectively at the lower, rear end of the slots 31, and the tongues 33 are pushed through almost the entire length thereof through the openings of the tabs 30.
Wenn der Schieber 36 in eine entgegengesetzte Anschlagstellung verschoben ist, in der sich sein Finger 41 am rechten Ende des Schlitzes 35 befindet, ist der Deckel 15 nach vorn verschoben, und gleichzeitig, aufgrund des Eingriffs der Stifte 34 und Zungen 33 in die Laschen 29, 30, nach oben. Dadurch sind der Deckel 15 und die Schale 14 voneinander beabstandet, und der Strömungsweg 26 durch die Schale 14 ist offen. Die Ausdehnung des Schlitzes 35 in Breitenrichtung des Korpus 1 ist größer als die in Tiefenrichtung. Je extremer das Verhältnis ist bzw. je weniger die Orientierung des Schlitzes 35 von der Breitenrichtung abweicht, um so stärker ist eine Selbsthemmung des gezeigten Führungsmechanismus, die den Deckel 15 entgegen der auf ihn wirkenden Gewichtskraft in einem Abstand von der Anschlagfläche 44 hält. When the slider 36 is displaced to an opposite stop position in which its finger 41 is at the right end of the slot 35, the lid 15 is displaced forward, and at the same time, due to the engagement of the pins 34 and tabs 33 in the tabs 29, 30, upwards. Thereby, the lid 15 and the shell 14 are spaced apart, and the flow path 26 through the shell 14 is open. The extent of the slot 35 in the width direction of the body 1 is greater than that in the depth direction. The more extreme the ratio or the less the orientation of the slot 35 deviates from the width direction, the stronger is a self-locking of the shown guide mechanism, which holds the lid 15 against the force acting on it at a distance from the stop surface 44.
