Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät, insbesondere ein Haushaltskältegerät, in dessen Türblatt eine mittels eines weiteren Türblatts verschließbare Öffnung vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a refrigeration device, in particular a household refrigerating appliance, in whose door leaf a closable by means of another door panel opening is provided.

Die US 2008/0278049 A1 offenbart ein Haushaltskältegerät, das einen Korpus mit einem kühlbaren Innenraum und ein zum Öffnen und Schließen des Innenraums vorgesehenes, an dem Korpus angelenktes Türblatt aufweist. In dem Türblatt ist vorderseitig eine Öffnung ausgebildet, die mittels einer bezüglich einer horizontal verlaufenden Achse schwenkbar am Türblatt angeordneten Hausbartür geöffnet und geschlossen werden kann. Die Hausbartür umfasst eine Trägerplatte, eine kastenförmige Deckplatte, die im geschlossenen Zustand der Hausbartür mit dem Türblatt eine Außenfläche des Haushaltskältegerätes bildet, und ein zwischen der Deckplatte und der Trägerplatte angeordnetes Isoliermaterial. US 2008/0278049 A1 offenbart ein Kältegerät nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The US 2008/0278049 A1 discloses a household refrigeration appliance having a body with a coolable interior and a door opening provided for opening and closing the interior and hinged to the body. In the door leaf, an opening is formed on the front side, which can be opened and closed by means of a with respect to a horizontal axis pivotally mounted on the door leaf Hausbartür. The home bar door comprises a support plate, a box-shaped cover plate, which forms in the closed state of the house bar door with the door leaf an outer surface of the household refrigerator, and arranged between the cover plate and the support plate insulating material. US 2008/0278049 A1 discloses a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Kältegerät, insbesondere ein Haushaltskältegerät anzugeben, in dessen Türblatt eine Öffnung vorgesehen ist, die mittels eines weiteren Türblatts verschließbar ist, und das weitere Türblatt es in relativ einfacher Weise erlaubt, die nach außen gerichtete Oberfläche des weiteren Türblatts flexibler zu gestalten.The object of the invention is to provide a refrigeration appliance, in particular a domestic refrigeration appliance, in whose door leaf an opening is provided which can be closed by means of a further door leaf, and the further door leaf allows it in a relatively simple manner, the outwardly directed surface of the other door leaf more flexible to design.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird gelöst durch ein Kältegerät gemäß Anspruch 1. Das erfindungsgemäße Kältegerät ist insbesondere ein Haushaltskältegerät, wie z.B. ein Haushaltskühlgerät oder eine Gefrier-Kühl-Kombination.The object of the invention is achieved by a refrigeration device according to claim 1. The refrigerator according to the invention is in particular a household refrigerator, such as a household refrigerator or a freeze-refrigerated combination.

Das erfindungsgemäße Kältegerät umfasst demnach den Korpus mit dem kühlbaren Innenraum. An dem Korpus ist das Türblatt angelenkt. Das Türblatt weist die Öffnung auf, die wiederum mit dem am Türblatt angelenkten weiteren Türblatt geöffnet und geschlossen werden kann. Somit ist es bei geöffnetem weiteren Türblatt möglich, zumindest einen Teil des Innenraums durch die Öffnung zu erreichen. Das weitere Türblatt ist insbesondere in seinem unteren Bereich bezüglich einer horizontal verlaufenen Achse schwenkbar an dem Türblatt des Kältegerätes gelagert.The refrigerator according to the invention accordingly comprises the body with the coolable interior. The door leaf is hinged to the carcass. The door leaf has the opening, which in turn can be opened and closed with the hinged on the door leaf another door leaf. Thus, it is possible with open another door leaf to reach at least a portion of the interior through the opening. The further door leaf is pivotably mounted in particular in its lower region with respect to a horizontally extending axis on the door leaf of the refrigerator.

Das weitere Türblatt weist den Basisträger, der z.B. aus Kunststoff gefertigt ist, und die Frontabdeckung auf. Die Frontabdeckung bildet zumindest teilweise die Außenhaut des weiteren Türblatts und ist an ihren Rändern nach hinten gebogen bzw. geknickt. Mit dem nach hinten gebogenen Bereich ist die Frontabdeckung quasi über den Rand des Basisträgers gestülpt und liegt mit ihrer in Richtung Basisträger gerichteten Seite auf dem Rand auf oder ist mit diesem z.B. mittels Klebens befestigt.The further door leaf comprises the base support, e.g. is made of plastic, and the front cover on. The front cover at least partially forms the outer skin of the other door leaf and is bent backwards or bent at its edges. With the region bent backwards, the front cover is, as it were, slipped over the edge of the base support and lies with its side directed towards the base support on the edge or is connected thereto, e.g. attached by gluing.

Um z.B. den Basisträger für verschiedene Frontabdeckungen zu verwenden, die insbesondere zumindest in ihren Randbereichen unterschiedliche Dicken aufweisen, ist es erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass der Basisträger eine umfänglich angeordnete stufenförmig ausgebildete Aussparung aufweist, mit der der Randbereich der Frontabdeckung mit seiner in Richtung Basisträger gerichteten Seite befestigt ist. Mit dem nach hinten gebogenen Bereich ist die Frontabdeckung quasi über diese im Rand des Basisträgers ausgebildete Aussparung gestülpt und liegt mit ihrer in Richtung Basisträger gerichteten Seite auf der Aussparung auf oder ist mit diesem z.B. mittels Klebens befestigt.For example, To use the base support for different front covers, which have different thicknesses, in particular at least in their edge regions, it is provided according to the invention that the base support has a circumferentially arranged step-shaped recess with which the edge region of the front cover is fixed with its side directed towards the base support. With the region bent backwards, the front cover is, as it were, slipped over this recess formed in the edge of the base support and lies with its side directed toward the base support on the recess or is connected thereto, e.g. attached by gluing.

Um sicher zu stellen, dass verschieden dicke Frontabdeckungen mit dem Basisträger zum weiteren Türblatt montiert werden können, ohne dass die Frontabdeckung z.B. unten, oben oder seitlich über den Basisträger hervorsteht, kann vorzugsweise die Höhe der Aussparung stets größer oder gleich der Dicke der Frontabdeckung zumindest in ihrem Randbereich ausgebildet sein. Diese Ausgestaltung ermöglicht es auch in relativ einfacher Weise, dass bei der Verwendung von Frontabdeckungen unterschiedlicher Dicken das weitere Türblatt in seiner geschlossenen Stellung nicht in der Öffnung des Türblatts klemmt.To ensure that different thickness front covers with the base support to the other door leaf can be mounted without the front cover eg below, above or laterally protruding over the base support, preferably the height of the recess is always greater than or equal to the thickness of the front cover at least in be formed at its edge region. This configuration also makes it possible in a relatively simple manner that when using front covers of different thicknesses, the further door leaf in its closed position does not jam in the opening of the door leaf.

Die Tiefe der Aussparung des Basisträgers kann vorzugsweise größer oder gleich der Tiefe des Randbereichs der Frontabdeckung ist. Dann ist es möglich, dass, wie es nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Kältegerätes vorgesehen ist, die Frontabdeckung in ihrem gebogenen Bereich mit einem Teil des die Außenhaut bildenden Bereichs der Frontabdeckung mit der in Richtung Basisträger gerichteten Seite am Basisträger anliegt, insbesondere befestigt ist. Dadurch wird es ermöglicht, dass das weitere Türblatt stets eine vorbestimmte Dicke aufweist.The depth of the recess of the base support may preferably be greater than or equal to the depth of the edge region of the front cover. Then it is possible that, as is provided according to a preferred embodiment of the refrigerator according to the invention, the front cover in its bent portion with a part of the outer skin forming portion of the front cover with the direction of the base support side is applied to the base support, in particular attached. This makes it possible that the further door leaf always has a predetermined thickness.

Die Ecken des Basisträgers können in dem dem gebogenen Bereich der Frontabdeckung zugeordneten Bereich abgeschrägt sein. Dadurch ist es möglich, dass überschüssiges Material der Frontabdeckung im gebogenen Bereich nicht stört, da durch das Abschrägen gegebenenfalls Platz für das überschüssige Material geschaffen ist. Auch ist es durch die Abschrägung möglich, den gebogenen Bereich der Frontabdeckung gerundet auszuführen.The corners of the base support may be chamfered in the region associated with the bent portion of the front cover. As a result, it is possible that excess material of the front cover does not interfere in the bent area, since the chamfering may provide space for the excess material. It is also possible by the bevel, run the curved portion of the front cover rounded.

Nach einer Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Kältegerätes ist der Basisträger kasten- oder wannenförmig ausgebildet und ein Teil des Basisträgers bildet eine Innenhaut des weiteren Türblatts. Somit ist es möglich, das weitere Türblatt aus relativ wenigen Einzelteilen herzustellen. Der wannenförmige Bereich des Basisträgers kann vorzugsweise vorgesehen sein, ein Isoliermaterial des weiteren Türblatts aufzunehmen.According to one embodiment of the refrigerator according to the invention, the base support is box-shaped or trough-shaped and a part of the base support forms an inner skin of the other door leaf. Thus, it is possible to make the other door leaf from relatively few items. The trough-shaped region of the base support may preferably be provided to receive an insulating material of the further door leaf.

Das weitere Türblatt ist am Türblatt angelenkt. Dafür benötigte Befestigungsmittel können an dem Basisträger insbesondere einstückig angeformt sein. Geeignete Befestigungsmittel sind z.B. Zapfen, mittels derer das weitere Türblatt bezüglich einer insbesondere horizontal verlaufenden Achse zwischen ihrer geschlossenen und geöffneten Stellung geschwenkt werden kann.The other door leaf is hinged to the door leaf. For this required fastening means can be integrally formed in particular on the base support. Suitable attachment means are e.g. Pin, by means of which the further door leaf with respect to a particular horizontal axis between its closed and open position can be pivoted.

Die Öffnung des Türblatts kann umfänglich von einem Rahmen eingerahmt sein. Dieser Rahmen kann z.B. aus Kunststoff gefertigt sein und/oder vorgesehen sein, dass an ihm das weitere Türblatt angelenkt ist.The opening of the door panel may be circumferentially framed by a frame. This frame may e.g. be made of plastic and / or be provided that is hinged to him the other door leaf.

Das erfindungsgemäße Kältegerät bietet je nach Ausführungsform demnach die Möglichkeit, unterschiedliche Frontabdeckungen insbesondere bezüglich Material und/oder Farbe mit dem Basisträger zu kombinieren. Das weitere Türblatt ist insbesondere derart ausgeführt, dass der Basisträger bei geschlossenem weiteren Türblatt die Öffnung des Türblatts des Kältegerätes zuverlässig abdichtet. Somit können für verschiedene Kältegeräte jeweils dieselben Basisträger verwendet werden, je nach verwendetem Kältegerät jedoch unterschiedliche Frontabdeckungen. Durch die überlappende Befestigung der Frontabdeckung mit der stufenförmigen Aussparung des Basisträgers ergeben sich auch Vorraussetzungen für ein gefälliges Aussehen des erfindungsgemäßen Türblatt auch bei Verwendung unterschiedlicher Frontabdeckungen. Die Verbindung zwischen der Frontabdeckung und dem Basisträger ist vorzugsweise derart dicht, um die Gefahr eines Entweichens eines gegebenenfalls verwendeten Isoliermaterials zu vermeiden oder zumindest zu verringern. Ein Entweichen des Isoliermaterials kann gegebenenfalls auch durch eine zusätzliche Abdichtung zwischen dem Basisträger und der Frontabdeckung erreicht werden.Depending on the embodiment, the refrigerating appliance according to the invention accordingly offers the possibility of combining different front covers, in particular with regard to material and / or color, with the base carrier. The other door leaf is in particular carried out in such a way that the base support reliably seals the opening of the door leaf of the refrigeration device when the other door leaf is closed. Thus, the same base support can be used for different refrigerators, but depending on the refrigeration unit used different front covers. The overlapping attachment of the front cover with the step-shaped recess of the base support also provides conditions for a pleasing appearance of the door panel according to the invention even when using different front covers. The connection between the front cover and the base support is preferably so dense to avoid or at least reduce the risk of escape of an optionally used insulating material. If necessary, escape of the insulating material can also be achieved by an additional seal between the base support and the front cover.

Außerdem ist im ersten Türblatt 3 eine Öffnung 6 vorgesehen, die mittels eines dritten Türblatts 7 geöffnet und geschlossen werden kann. Bei geöffnetem dritten Türblatt 7 ist zumindest ein Teil des kühlbaren Innenraums von außen zugänglich, ohne das erste Türblatt 3 öffnen zu müssen. Das dritte Türblatt 7 ist in der Fig. 4 in einer perspektivischen Darstellung, in der Fig. 5 in einer Explosionsdarstellung und in der Fig. 6 in einer Draufsicht gezeigt.In the case of the present embodiment, the first and the second door leaf 3, 4 are each opened or closed with a arranged on the outer sides of the door leaves 3, 4 door handles 5. In addition, an opening 6 is provided in the first door leaf 3, which can be opened and closed by means of a third door leaf 7. When the third door leaf 7 is open, at least part of the coolable interior is accessible from the outside without having to open the first door leaf 3. The third door leaf 7 is in the Fig. 4 in a perspective view, in the Fig. 5 in an exploded view and in the Fig. 6 shown in a plan view.

Im Falle des vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiels ist die Öffnung 6 umfänglich von einem Rahmen 8 eingerahmt. Der Rahmen 8 besteht beispielsweise aus Kunststoff. Am Rahmen 8 ist das dritte Türblatt 7 am ersten Türblatt 3 bezüglich einer horizontal und im untern Bereich des dritten Türblatts 7 verlaufenden Achse schwenkbar mittels am dritten Türblatt 7 angeordneten Zapfen 9 schwenkbar gelagert.

In the Fig. 3 the third door leaf 7 is shown in a half-open state.

Im Falle des vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiels weist das dritte Türblatt 7 eine Frontabdeckung 10 und einen Basisträger 11 auf, an dem die Frontabdeckung 10 befestigt ist. Der Basisträger 11 ist beispielsweise aus Kunststoff insbesondere im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt. Am Basisträger 11 können die Zapfen 9 z.B. einstückig angeformt oder auch an diesem befestigt sein. Der Basisträger 11 kann, wie dies hier der Fall ist, kasten- oder wannenförmig ausgebildeßsein, also einen wanneförmigen Abschnitt aufweisen, der insbesondere die Innenhaut 11a des dritten Türblatts 7 bildet, wie dies in der Fig. 7 dargestellt ist, die das dritte Türblatt 7 in einer Seitenansicht in geschnittener Darstellung entlang einer in der Fig. 6 gezeigten Linie A-A zeigt. Zwischen der Frontabdeckung 10 und dem auch die Innenhaut 11a bildenden Basisträger 11 kann ein nicht näher dargestelltes Wärme isolierendes Material, z.B. ein Isolierschaum angeordnet sein, der in dem kasten- bzw. wannenförmig ausgebildeten Teil des Basisträgers 11 aufgenommen ist.In the case of the present embodiment, the third door panel 7 has a front cover 10 and a base support 11 to which the front cover 10 is attached. The base support 11 is made of plastic, for example, in particular Injection molding process. On the base support 11, the pin 9 may for example be integrally formed or attached to this. As is the case here, the base support 11 may be box-shaped or trough-shaped, that is to say have a section in the form of a tube, which in particular forms the inner skin 11a of the third door leaf 7, as shown in FIG Fig. 7 is shown, the third door leaf 7 in a side view in a sectional view along one in the Fig. 6 shown line AA. Between the front cover 10 and also the inner skin 11a forming base support 11, a not-shown heat insulating material, such as an insulating foam may be arranged, which is received in the box or trough-shaped part of the base support 11.

Am oberen Teil des Basisträgers 11 sind im Falle des vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiels nach hinten gerichtete Rasthaken 12 z.B. mittels Schrauben befestigt, mittels derer das dritte Türblatt 7 in seiner geschlossenen Stellung z.B. am Rahmen 8 lösbar gehalten wird. Die Rasthaken 12 sind in der Fig. 7 zu sehen, die das dritte Türblatt 7 entlang einer in der Fig. 6 gezeigten Linie A-A als Schnitt zeigt. Ein mit einem Bezugszeichen B versehener Ausschnitt des oberen Teils des dritten Türblatts 7 ist in der Fig. 8 gezeigt. Dieser Ausschnitt B zeigt eine Aussparung 13, die zur Aufnahme eines der Rashaken 12 vorgesehen ist. Im Bereich der Aussparung 13 weist der Basisträger 11 eine Öffnung 14 auf, durch die eine nicht gezeigte Schraube zum Befestigen des Rashakens 12 an dem Basisträger 11 hindurchragen kann. Die Rashaken 12 können auch am Basisträger 11 einstückig angeformt sein.At the upper part of the base support 11 in the case of the present embodiment, rearwardly directed latching hooks 12 are fastened eg by means of screws, by means of which the third door leaf 7 in its closed position, for example, on the frame 8 is releasably held. The latching hooks 12 are in the Fig. 7 to see the third door leaf 7 along one in the Fig. 6 shown line AA as a section shows. A section of the upper part of the third door panel 7 provided with a reference B is shown in FIG Fig. 8 shown. This detail B shows a recess 13 which is provided for receiving one of the snap hooks 12. In the region of the recess 13, the base support 11 has an opening 14, through which a screw, not shown, for attaching the Rashakens 12 may protrude to the base support 11. The snap hooks 12 may also be integrally formed on the base support 11.

Wie bereits erwähnt, ist die Frontabdeckung 10 am Basisträger 11 befestigt. Der Basisträger 11 ohne Frontabdeckung 10 im Bereich B ist in der Fig. 9 dargestellt. Die von außen sichtbare Oberfläche des ersten Türblatts 3 und die von außen sichtbare Oberfläche der Frontabdeckung 10 sind vorzugsweise aus demselben Material gefertigt. Die Frontabdeckung 10 ist beispielsweise aus Metall.As already mentioned, the front cover 10 is attached to the base support 11. The base support 11 without front cover 10 in area B is in the Fig. 9 shown. The externally visible surface of the first door leaf 3 and the externally visible surface of the front cover 10 are preferably made of the same material. The front cover 10 is made of metal, for example.

Im Falle des vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiels weist die Frontabdeckung 10 einen Haupt- oder Frontbereich auf, der im Wesentlichen den von außen sichtbaren Bereich der Frontabdeckung 10 darstellt und die Außenhaut 10a des dritten Türblatts 7 bildet. An den Rändern ist die Frontabdeckung 10 umfänglich nach hinten gebogen oder geknickt und bildet im nach hinten gebogenen Bereich 10b einen umfänglichen Bund, mittels dem die Frontabdeckung 10 am Basisträger 11 befestigt, z.B. mit diesem verklebt ist. Der gebogene Bereich zwischen dem die Außenhaut 10a bildenden Bereich und dem Bund der Frontabdeckung 10 ist mit dem Bezugszeichen 10c gekennzeichnet.In the case of the present embodiment, the front cover 10 has a main or front portion which is substantially the externally visible portion of the front cover 10 and forms the outer skin 10 a of the third door panel 7. At the edges, the front cover 10 is bent or kinked circumferentially to the rear and forms in the rearwardly bent portion 10 b a circumferential collar, by means of which Front cover 10 attached to the base support 11, for example glued to this. The bent portion between the outer skin 10a forming portion and the collar of the front cover 10 is denoted by the reference numeral 10c.

Im Falle des vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiels ist die Frontabdeckung 10 über den Basisträger 11 gestülpt, sodass die in Richtung Basisträger 11 gerichtete Seite des Bundes auf dem Rand 11d des Basisträgers 11 anliegt bzw. in diesem Bereich z.B. mittels Klebens befestigt ist. Insbesondere weist der Basisträger 11 in diesem Randbereich eine stufenförmig ausgebildete Aussparung 11 b auf, die umfänglich am Basisträger 11 verläuft. Die Aussparung 11 b ist demnach im Rand des Basisträgers 11 vorgesehen und verläuft über den gesamten Umfang des Basisträgers 11.In the case of the present embodiment, the front cover 10 is slipped over the base support 11 so that the side of the collar directed towards the base support 11 rests on the edge 11d of the base support 11 or in this region e.g. is attached by gluing. In particular, the base support 11 in this edge region on a step-shaped recess 11 b, which extends circumferentially on the base support 11. The recess 11 b is therefore provided in the edge of the base support 11 and extends over the entire circumference of the base support eleventh

Die umfänglich verlaufende Aussparung 11 b weist eine Tiefe T und eine Höhe H auf. Im Falle des vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiels ist die Tiefe H der Aussparung 11 b derart gewählt, dass sie stets mindestens so groß ist wie die Dicke d der Frontabdeckung 10 zumindest in ihrem Bereich des Bundes. Dadurch wird sicher gestellt, dass bei Verwendung verschieden dicker Frontabdeckungen 10 der Bund nie über den Rand 10d des Basisträgers 11 herausragt.The circumferentially extending recess 11 b has a depth T and a height H. In the case of the present embodiment, the depth H of the recess 11 b is chosen such that it is always at least as large as the thickness d of the front cover 10 at least in their region of the covenant. This ensures that when using differently thick front covers 10, the collar never protrudes beyond the edge 10d of the base support 11.

Im Falle des vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiels ist außerdem die Tiefe T größer oder gleich der Tiefe t des Bundes der Frontabdeckung 10. Dadurch wird sicher gestellt, dass die Frontabdeckung 10 im gebogenen Bereich 10c mit dem die Außenhaut 10a bildenden Bereich der Frontabdeckung 10 am Basisträger 11 anliegt.In the case of the present embodiment, moreover, the depth T is greater than or equal to the depth t of the collar of the front cover 10. This ensures that the front cover 10 rests against the base support 11 in the curved region 10c with the region of the front cover 10 forming the outer skin 10a.

Des Weiteren sind im Falle des vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiels die Ecken 11 c des Basisträgers 11 in dem dem gebogenen Bereich 10c der Frontabdeckung 10 zugeordneten Bereich abgeschrägt. Somit ist es möglich, die Frontabdeckung 10 in ihrem gebogenen Bereich 10c abzurunden.Further, in the case of the present embodiment, the corners 11 c of the base support 11 are chamfered in the region associated with the bent portion 10 c of the front cover 10. Thus, it is possible to round the front cover 10 in its bent portion 10c.
