Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät, insbesondere Haushaltskältegerät, aufweisend ein Lagerabteil für Kühlgut, das durch wenigstens eine Schiebetür schließbar ist, die mindestens einen Führungsabschnitt aufweist, der an einer zugeordneten Nut des Lagerabteils verschieblich gelagert ist.The invention relates to a refrigeration appliance, in particular domestic refrigeration appliance, comprising a storage compartment for refrigerated goods, which can be closed by at least one sliding door, which has at least one guide portion which is displaceably mounted on an associated groove of the storage compartment.

Die DE 103 58 734 A1 beschreibt ein Kältegerät, insbesondere einen Kühlschrank, gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 mit mindestens einem im Innenraum des Kältegeräts befindlichen verschließbaren Behälter zur Aufnahme von Kältegut, wie Lebensmittel, bei dem der Behälter mindestens eine Schiebetür aufweist. Die Schiebetür wird von einer Seitenwand und die den Behälter nach oben abschließenden Deckenwand gebildet. Im Boden und einer Rückwand des Behälters sind zwei parallele Nuten gebildet, in die jeweils ein freier Rand der L-förmigen Schiebetür eingreift. Dadurch sind die Schiebetüren horizontal verschiebbar und können so weit übereinander geschoben werden, dass jeweils einer von zwei Teilräumen je nach Stellung der Schiebetüren vollständig geöffnet werden kann. Die Schiebetüren sind hintereinander versetzt angeordnet. Aufgrund der L-Form genügt eine geringe elastische Verformung der Schiebetüren, um deren Ränder aus der zugehörigen Nut zu lösen. Dies ist insoweit sinnvoll, als die Schiebetür abmontiert werden können, um beispielsweise das Innere des Behälters leicht zugänglich reinigen zu können. Nachteilig ist es jedoch, dass die Schiebetüren bei normaler Benutzung des Kältegeräts unbeabsichtigt auch leicht herausspringen können.The DE 103 58 734 A1 describes a refrigerator, in particular a refrigerator, according to the preamble of claim 1 with at least one located in the interior of the refrigerator closable container for holding refrigerated goods, such as food, in which the container has at least one sliding door. The sliding door is formed by a side wall and the top wall closing the container upwards. In the bottom and a rear wall of the container, two parallel grooves are formed, in each of which engages a free edge of the L-shaped sliding door. As a result, the sliding doors are horizontally displaceable and can be pushed so far over each other that one of two sub-chambers can be fully opened depending on the position of the sliding doors. The sliding doors are arranged offset one behind the other. Due to the L-shape, a slight elastic deformation of the sliding doors is sufficient to release their edges from the associated groove. This makes sense insofar as the sliding door can be removed in order, for example, to be able to easily clean the interior of the container. However, it is disadvantageous that the sliding doors can inadvertently also easily pop out during normal use of the refrigeration device.

Die US 2,840,434 zeigt ein Kältegerät mit einer Tür, an dessen Innenseite ein Lagerfach vorgesehen ist, das durch zwei flache Schiebetüren verschließbar ist, die zwischen einer oberen und einer unteren Schiene der Tür geführt sind. Jede Schiene weist zwei im Querschnitt rechteckige Nuten auf, in denen die im Querschnitt rechteckigen Schiebtüren geführt sind.The US 2,840,434 shows a refrigerator with a door, on the inside of a storage compartment is provided, which is closed by two flat sliding doors, which are guided between an upper and a lower rail of the door. Each rail has two rectangular in cross-section grooves in which the rectangular cross-section sliding doors are guided.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Kältegerät, insbesondere Haushaltskältegerät zu schaffen, bei dem die Gefahr eines unbeabsichtigten Lösens von Schiebetüren eines Lagerabteils aus zugeordneten Führungsnuten verringert bzw. beseitigt ist.The object of the invention is to provide a refrigeration device, in particular domestic refrigeration appliance, in which the risk of unintentional release of sliding doors of a storage compartment from associated guide grooves is reduced or eliminated.

Unter einem Kältegerät wird insbesondere ein Haushaltskältegerät verstanden, also ein Kältegerät das zur Haushaltsführung in Haushalten oder eventuell auch im Gastronomiebereich eingesetzt wird, und insbesondere dazu dient Lebensmittel und/oder Getränke in haushaltsüblichen Mengen bei bestimmten Temperaturen zu lagern, wie beispielsweise ein Kühlschrank, ein Gefrierschrank oder eine Kühlgefrierkombination.A refrigeration appliance is understood in particular to be a household refrigeration appliance, that is to say a refrigeration appliance used for household purposes or possibly even in the gastronomy sector, and in particular for storing food and / or beverages in household quantities at specific temperatures, such as, for example, a refrigerator, a freezer or a fridge freezer combination.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch ein Kältegerät, insbesondere Haushaltskältegerät, mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.The object is achieved by a refrigerator, in particular household refrigeration appliance, with the features of claim 1.

So stellt die Ausbildung des mindestens einen Führungsabschnitts und der zugeordneten Nut im Bereich von sich kontaktierenden Lagerflächen in einer Paarung von unterschiedlichen Materialien eine erste Maßnahme dar, die Gefahr eines unbeabsichtigten Lösens von Schiebetüren eines Lagerabteils aus zugeordneten Führungsnuten zu verringern bzw. zu beseitigen. Ein Halten der mindestens eine Führungsabschnitt durch ein Rastmittel in der zugeordneten Nut stellt eine zweite Maßnahme dar, die Gefahr eines unbeabsichtigten Lösens von Schiebetüren eines Lagerabteils aus zugeordneten Führungsnuten zu verringern bzw. zu beseitigen. Jede einzelne Maßnahme ist geeignet ein unbeabsichtigten Lösen der Schiebetüren zu verringern bzw. zu beseitigen, wobei die Kombination beider Maßnahmen die Gefahr eines unbeabsichtigten Lösens der Schiebetüren besonders verringert bzw. auch durch eine derart erreichte redundante Maßnahme ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen der Schiebetüren zuverlässig verhindert ist.Thus, the formation of the at least one guide section and the associated groove in the area of contacting bearing surfaces in a combination of different materials is a first measure to reduce or eliminate the risk of inadvertent release of sliding doors of a bearing compartment from associated guide grooves. A holding the at least one guide portion by a locking means in the associated groove is a second measure to reduce the risk of unintentional release of sliding doors of a bearing compartment of associated guide grooves or eliminate. Each individual measure is suitable for reducing or eliminating unintentional release of the sliding doors, wherein the combination of both measures particularly reduces the risk of unintentional release of the sliding doors or even unintentional release of the sliding doors is reliably prevented by such a redundant measure.

Ein Lösen der Schiebetüren aus den zugeordneten Führungsnuten kann insbesondere dann unbeabsichtigt passieren, wenn die Schiebetüren in den Führungsnuten während des Aufschiebens der Schiebetüren in den Nuten verklemmen und bei Erhöhung der Schiebekraft durch einen Benutzer die Schiebetüren sich plastisch verformen und dann die Führungsabschnitte der Schiebetüren aus den zugeordneten Nuten springen.A release of the sliding doors from the associated guide grooves can happen unintentionally in particular when the sliding doors jam in the grooves during sliding of the sliding doors in the grooves and plastically deform when increasing the pushing force by a user, the sliding doors and then the guide portions of the sliding from the Jump assigned grooves.

So ist es mit der ersten Maßnahme der Ausbildung des mindestens eine Führungsabschnitts und der zugeordneten Nut im Bereich von sich kontaktierenden Lagerflächen in einer Paarung von unterschiedlichen Materialien möglich, die Reibung zwischen Schiebetür und Nut zu verringern, um ein Verklemmen der Schiebetür in der Nut zu vermeiden. Damit ist die Ursache beseitigt, bzw. reduziert, die einen Benutzer dazu verleitet die Schiebekraft zu erhöhen. Ohne Erhöhung der Schiebekraft kommt es in Folge auch zu keiner Verformung der Schiebetüren und ein Herausspringen der Schiebetüren aus den Nuten ist verhindert.Thus, with the first measure of the formation of the at least one guide section and the associated groove in the area of contacting bearing surfaces in a mating of different materials, it is possible to reduce the friction between the sliding door and the groove in order to avoid jamming of the sliding door in the groove , Thus, the cause is eliminated or reduced, which entices a user to increase the pushing force. Without increasing the sliding force, there is also no deformation of the sliding doors and jumping out of the sliding doors from the grooves is prevented.

Sollte jedoch der Benutzer trotzdem oder aus anderen Gründen die Schiebkraft erhöhen, beispielsweise weil sich die Schiebetür an einem im Lagerabteil gelagerten Kühlgut verklemmt, so verhindert das Rastmittel trotz erhöhter Schiebekraft und Verformung der Schiebetüren ein Herausspringen der Schiebetüren aus den zugeordneten Nuten. Das erfindungsgemäße Rastmittel kann demgemäß auch ohne der ersten Maßnahme der Reibungsreduzierung mittels Ausbildung des mindestens eine Führungsabschnitts und der zugeordneten Nut im Bereich von sich kontaktierenden Lagerflächen in einer Paarung von unterschiedlichen Materialien, die Gefahr eines unbeabsichtigten Lösens der Schiebetüren aus den zugeordneten Führungsnuten verringern bzw. beseitigen.However, should the user still or for other reasons increase the sliding force, for example, because the sliding door jammed on a stored in the storage compartment refrigerated goods, so the locking means prevents despite increased pushing force and deformation of the sliding doors jumping out of the sliding doors from the associated grooves. The latching means according to the invention can accordingly reduce or eliminate the risk of inadvertent release of the sliding doors from the assigned guide grooves even without the first measure of friction reduction by forming the at least one guide section and the associated groove in the region of contacting bearing surfaces in a mating of different materials ,

Der mindestens eine Führungsabschnitt und die zugeordnete Nut im Bereich von sich kontaktierenden Lagerflächen in einer Paarung von unterschiedlichen Materialien können aus unterschiedlichen Kunststoffen ausgebildet sein. Gerade bei der Ausbildung von Schiebetüren bzw. Führungsabschnitten und zugeordneten Nuten aus kostengünstigem Kunststoff ist generell die Gefahr recht hoch, dass es zu Verklemmungen kommen kann, da Kunststoffe im allgemeinen eine ehre raue Oberfläche aufweisen und/oder es zu adhesiven Effekten kommen kann.The at least one guide section and the associated groove in the region of contacting bearing surfaces in a mating of different materials may be formed of different plastics. Especially in the formation of sliding doors or guide sections and associated grooves of inexpensive plastic is generally the risk of quite high, that it can lead to jamming, since plastics generally have an honorable rough surface and / or it can lead to adhesive effects.

Der mindestens eine Führungsabschnitt und die zugeordnete Nut können demgemäß im Bereich von sich kontaktierenden Lagerflächen in einer Paarung von Polystyrol (PS) und Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol (ABS) ausgebildet sein. Durch die Kombination bzw. Paarung dieser Kunststoffwerkstoffe von Polystyrol (PS) und Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol (ABS) wird eine besonders gute Leichtgängigkeit der Schiebtüren in den Nuten erzielt. Dabei können die Schiebtüren aus einem anderen Werkstoff, insbesondere aus einem anderen Kunststoff hergestellt sein und mit einem der Kunststoffwerkstoffe von Polystyrol (PS) und Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol (ABS) beschichtet sein oder mit einer solchen Auflage versehen sein. Die Nuten können demgemäß mit dem jeweils anderen Kunststoffwerkstoff von Polystyrol (PS) und Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol (ABS) beschichtet sein oder mit einer solchen Auflage versehen sein. Gegebenenfalls kann eine Beschichtung von Polystyrol (PS) oder Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol (ABS) beispielsweise im Zweikomponenten-Spritzgußverfahren angeformt sein.The at least one guide section and the associated groove can accordingly be formed in the region of contacting bearing surfaces in a pairing of polystyrene (PS) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS). By combining or pairing these plastic materials of polystyrene (PS) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), a particularly good smoothness of the sliding doors is achieved in the grooves. The sliding doors may be made of a different material, in particular of a different plastic and with one of the plastic materials of polystyrene (PS) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) be coated or provided with such a support. The grooves may accordingly be coated with the respective other plastic material of polystyrene (PS) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) or be provided with such a support. Optionally, a coating of polystyrene (PS) or acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), for example, be formed in a two-component injection molding process.

Die Schiebetür kann insbesondere aus Polystyrol (PS) hergestellt sein und die zugeordnete Nut insbesondere aus Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol (ABS) hergestellt sein. Polystyrol (PS) eignet sich besonders zu Herstellung von transparenten Bauteilen, so dass insbesondere die Schiebetüten daraus hergestellt sein können. Die gegenüber Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol (ABS) höhere Härte des Polystyrols (PS) kann ein weiterer sinnvoller Grund sein, die Schiebetüten aus Polystyrol (PS) herzustellen.The sliding door can in particular be made of polystyrene (PS) and the associated groove can be made in particular of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS). Polystyrene (PS) is particularly suitable for the production of transparent components, so that in particular the sliding bags can be made therefrom. The higher hardness of polystyrene (PS) compared to acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) can be another useful reason for producing the polystyrene (PS) sliding bags.

In allen erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltungen kann das Rastmittel von wenigstens einem Vorsprung im Bereich der Nut gebildet werden, der in einen Rücksprung des Führungsabschnitts der Schiebetür eingreift. Der Vorsprung muss nicht zwingender Weise innerhalb der Nut angeordnet sein, sondern kann beispielsweise auch oberhalb der Nutöffnung im Bereich eines Randes der Nut angeordnet sein. ein einzelner Vorsprung kann an einer diskreten Stelle angebracht sein. Alternativ können sich mehrere diskrete Vorsprünge in Abständen, insbesondere gleichmäßigen Abständen voneinander angeordnet entlang des Schiebeweges der Schiebetüren erstrecken. Der Rücksprung des Führungsabschnitts der Schiebetür kann beispielsweise von einer rillenartigen oder rinneförmigen Vertiefung in einer Seitenwand oder Stirnwand der Schiebetür gebildet werden.In all embodiments according to the invention, the latching means can be formed by at least one projection in the region of the groove, which engages in a recess of the guide section of the sliding door. The projection does not necessarily have to be arranged inside the groove, but can for example also be arranged above the slot opening in the region of an edge of the slot. a single protrusion may be attached at a discrete location. Alternatively, a plurality of discrete projections may extend at intervals, in particular equidistantly spaced, along the sliding path of the sliding doors. The recess of the guide portion of the sliding door can be formed for example by a groove-like or channel-shaped depression in a side wall or end wall of the sliding door.

Das Rastmittel kann von wenigstens einem in den Nutspalt ragenden Vorsprung einer Seitenwand der Nut gebildet werden. Der Vorsprung ragt dabei aus der Ebene einer Begrenzungswand der Nut hervor. Der Vorsprung kann insbesondere aus einer Seitenwand der Nut vorzugsweise in einer horizontalen Richtung in den Nutspalt hineinragen. Der Rücksprung des Führungsabschnitts der Schiebetür und der Vorsprung der Nut bilden eine formschlüssige Verbindung, die ein unbeabsichtigtes Herausspringen der Schiebtür aus der Nut verhindert. Vorsprung und Rücksprung sind derart ausgebildet, dass ein Verschieben der Schiebtür in der Nut weiterhin ungehindert möglich ist.The locking means may be formed by at least one protruding into the groove gap projection of a side wall of the groove. The projection protrudes from the plane of a boundary wall of the groove. In particular, the protrusion may protrude from a side wall of the groove in a horizontal direction into the groove gap. The return of the guide portion of the sliding door and the projection of the groove form a positive connection, which prevents unintentional jumping out of the sliding door from the groove. Projection and return are designed such that a displacement of the sliding door in the groove is still possible without hindrance.

Der Rücksprung des Führungsabschnitts der Schiebetür und/oder der Vorsprung der Nut kann sich in den verschiedenen beschriebenen Varianten über die Schiebelänge der Schiebetür erstrecken. So können Vorsprung der Nut und Rücksprung des Führungsabschnitts der Schiebetür sich entlang des Schiebeweges der Schiebetüren vollständig erstrecken. Dies Ausgestaltung erfolgt dann statt eines einzelnen Vorsprungs, der sich an einer diskreten Stelle befindet oder statt Vorsprünge, die an mehreren Stellen in Abständen, insbesondere gleichmäßigen Abständen voneinander angeordnet sind.The return of the guide portion of the sliding door and / or the projection of the groove may extend in the various variants described over the sliding length of the sliding door. Thus, projection of the groove and recess of the guide portion of the sliding door can extend completely along the sliding path of the sliding doors. This embodiment then takes place instead of a single projection, which is located at a discrete point or instead of projections, which are arranged at several points at intervals, in particular uniform distances from each other.

Der Vorsprung kann insbesondere im Querschnitt keilförmig ausgebildet sein und der Rücksprung des Führungsabschnitts der Schiebetür, dem Querschnitt des Vorsprungs entsprechend, von einer im Querschnitt V-förmigen Kerbe gebildet werden. Durch die Ausbildung des Vorsprungs in Keilform kann insbesondere eine im Bereich der Nutöffnung einragender Vorsprung eine Anlaufschräge aufweisen, die insbesondere bewirkt, dass ein Wandabschnitt, der die Nut begrenzt, durch ein Einstecken des Führungsabschnitts der Schiebetür in die Nut nach außen gebogen wird, wodurch der Führungsabschnitt hinter dem Vorsprung elastisch verrasten kann. Somit ist auch die Montage der Schiebetür in die Nut vereinfacht. In allen erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltungen kann der Vorsprung statt an der Nut auch an dem Führungsabschnitt der Schiebetür vorgesehen sein, wobei dann der Rücksprung an der Nut angeordnet ist.The projection may be wedge-shaped, in particular in cross-section, and the recess of the guide section of the sliding door, corresponding to the cross-section of the projection, may be formed by a notch V-shaped in cross-section. Due to the formation of the projection in a wedge shape, in particular a projecting in the region of the groove opening projection may have a run-on slope, which in particular causes a wall portion which limits the groove is bent by inserting the guide portion of the sliding door in the groove to the outside, whereby the Guide section behind the projection can elastically lock. Thus, the assembly of the sliding door is simplified in the groove. In all embodiments according to the invention, the projection can also be provided on the guide section of the sliding door instead of on the groove, in which case the recess is arranged on the groove.

In allen erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltungen kann die Paarung von unterschiedlichen Materialien und/oder das Rastmittel an einem Führungsabschnitt und einer zugeordneten Nut an einem horizontalen Wandabschnitt der Schiebetür und/oder an einem vertikalen Wandabschnitt der Schiebetür angeordnet sein. Dabei kann die Schiebetür im Querschnitt insbesondere L-förmig gestaltet sein. In einer speziellen Ausführungsform bildet die L-förmige Schiebetür eine Seitenwand und eine Deckenwand des Lagerabteils.In all embodiments according to the invention, the pairing of different materials and / or the locking means may be arranged on a guide section and an associated groove on a horizontal wall section of the sliding door and / or on a vertical wall section of the sliding door. In this case, the sliding door can be designed in cross section in particular L-shaped. In a specific embodiment, the L-shaped sliding door forms a side wall and a top wall of the storage compartment.

In allen erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltungen kann die dem Führungsabschnitt zugeordnete mindestens eine Nut an einem separaten Führungsbauteil ausgebildet sein, das an dem Lagerabteil oder einer Innenwand des Kältegeräts befestigt ist. Die Nut kann generell einteilig, insbesondere einstückig mit dem Lagerabteil oder der Innenwand des Kältegeräts ausgebildet sein. es kann jedoch zweckmäßig sein, die Nut an einem separaten Führungsbauteil auszubilden und anschließend an dem Lagerabteil oder einer Innenwand des Kältegeräts zu befestigen.In all embodiments according to the invention, the guide section assigned at least one groove may be formed on a separate guide member which is fixed to the bearing compartment or an inner wall of the refrigerator. The groove may generally be formed in one piece, in particular integrally with the bearing compartment or the inner wall of the refrigerator. However, it may be appropriate to form the groove on a separate guide member and then attach to the storage compartment or an inner wall of the refrigerator.

Das separate Führungsbauteil kann dabei mittels einer Schnapp-Rastverbindung an dem Lagerabteil oder der Innenwand des Kältegeräts befestigt sein, insbesondere lösbar befestigt sein. Die Schnapp-Rastverbindung kann insbesondere eine Wandung des Lagerabteils oder eine Innenwand des Kältegeräts von zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten umfassen. Insbesondere ist das Lagerabteil an einer Kältegerätetür angeordnet.The separate guide member may be secured by means of a snap-locking connection to the bearing compartment or the inner wall of the refrigerator, in particular be releasably secured. The snap-locking connection may in particular comprise a wall of the storage compartment or an inner wall of the refrigerator from two opposite sides. In particular, the storage compartment is arranged on a refrigerator door.
