Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Haushaltsgerät mit einem Aufnahmeraum und einer Tür zum Verschließen des Aufnahmeraums, welche mit einer Schwenkvorrichtung an einem Gehäuse des Haushaltsgeräts angeschlagen ist.The invention relates to a household appliance having a receiving space and a door for closing the receiving space, which is posted with a pivoting device on a housing of the household appliance.

Haushaltsgeräte wie beispielsweise Gargeräte umfassen üblicherweise einen Garraum als Aufnahmeraum, der durch eine Tür verschließbar ist. Die Tür kann dabei mittels Scharnieren an einem Gehäuse des Haushaltsgeräts befestigt sein. Türen können in diesem Zusammenhang seitlich angeschlagen oder unten angeschlagen angebracht sein. Darüber hinaus können Türen auch ohne spezifische Scharniere befestigt sein, wobei beispielsweise dann eine durchgehende Stange vorgesehen ist, die als Schwenkachse ausgebildet ist, wobei die Tür dann an dieser Stange befestigt ist. Diese Stange ist drehbar gelagert an dem Gehäuse angeordnet.Domestic appliances such as cooking appliances usually include a cooking chamber as a receiving space, which is closed by a door. The door can be attached by means of hinges to a housing of the household appliance. Doors can be hinged laterally in this context or mounted hinged down. In addition, doors can also be fixed without specific hinges, for example, then a continuous rod is provided, which is designed as a pivot axis, wherein the door is then attached to this rod. This rod is rotatably mounted on the housing.

Bei den bekannten Klapptüren ist üblicherweise vorgesehen, dass sie meist unbegrenzt über einen entsprechenden Öffnungswinkel geöffnet werden können. Dies führt bei seitlich angeschlagenen Türen dazu, dass sie quasi mehr als 180° verschwenkt werden können und dann an benachbarten Geräten oder Möbeln anschlagen, sodass die Tür und/oder das andere Gerät oder das Möbel beschädigt werden können.In the known folding doors is usually provided that they can usually be opened indefinitely over a corresponding opening angle. This results in side-hinged doors that they can be pivoted more or less 180 ° and then hit adjacent equipment or furniture, so that the door and / or the other device or the furniture can be damaged.

Darüber hinaus werden Kabel zur elektrischen Signalübertragung zwischen Komponenten in der Tür und Komponenten in dem Gehäuse des Haushaltsgeräts bei bekannten Geräten über eine derartige Stange, die auch die Drehachse der Tür darstellt, geführt.In addition, cables for electrical signal transmission between components in the door and components in the housing of the household appliance in known devices via such a rod, which also represents the axis of rotation of the door out.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Haushaltsgerät zu schaffen, bei dem das Bewegen der Tür im Hinblick auf anderweitige Komponentenbeschädigung verhindert ist.It is an object of the present invention to provide a household appliance in which the movement of the door is prevented in terms of otherwise component damage.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Haushaltsgerät gemäß dem Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a household appliance according to claim 1.

Ein erfindungsgemäßes Haushaltsgerät umfasst einen Aufnahmeraum und eine Tür zum Verschließen des Aufnahmeraums, welche mit einer Schwenkvorrichtung an einem Gehäuse des Haushaltsgeräts angeschlagen ist und dann relativ zu dem Gehäuse verschwenkbar ist. Zusätzlich zu der Schwenkvorrichtung ist ein Verbindungsarm zwischen der Tür und dem Gehäuse angeordnet. Der Verbindungsarm stellt eine weitere mechanische Kopplung zwischen der Tür und dem Gehäuse dar, welcher insbesondere multifunktionell ausgestaltet ist.An inventive household appliance comprises a receiving space and a door for closing the receiving space, which with a pivoting device on a Housing of the household appliance is struck and then pivoted relative to the housing. In addition to the pivoting device, a connecting arm is disposed between the door and the housing. The connecting arm represents a further mechanical coupling between the door and the housing, which is designed in particular multifunctional.

Durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung des Haushaltsgeräts kann die Bewegungsführung der Tür verbessert werden. Insbesondere ungewollte Beschädigungen von weiteren Komponenten, die Haushaltsgerät extern angeordnet sind und/oder zum Haushaltsgerät selbst gehören, können dadurch vermieden werden.By such a configuration of the household appliance, the movement guidance of the door can be improved. In particular, unwanted damage of other components, the household appliance are arranged externally and / or belong to the household appliance itself, can be avoided.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass der Verbindungsarm als Begrenzer für einen Öffnungswinkel der Tür ausgebildet ist. Gerade bei Türen, die ohne Scharniere an dem Gehäuse angeordnet sind, beispielsweise durch eine bereits oben genannte Stange, die eine Verschwenkachse bildet, kann somit das unbegrenzte Öffnen der Tür unterbunden werden. Ein Anschlagen der Tür an Objekten, die benachbart zum Haushaltsgerät angeordnet sind, kann dadurch vermieden werden. Dennoch ist es nicht erforderlich, komplex aufgebaute und oftmals auch sehr schwere Scharniere zu verwenden.It is preferably provided that the connecting arm is designed as a limiter for an opening angle of the door. Especially with doors that are arranged without hinges on the housing, for example, by an already above-mentioned rod, which forms a pivot axis, thus the unlimited opening of the door can be prevented. An impact of the door on objects that are adjacent to the household appliance can be avoided. Nevertheless, it is not necessary to use complex and often very heavy hinges.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Erfindung somit bei Ausgestaltungen, bei denen die Tür ohne explizite Scharniere an dem Gehäuse befestigt ist. Die Schwenkvorrichtung ist bei derartigen Ausgestaltungen insbesondere dahingehend ausgebildet, dass sie lediglich eine Stange aufweist, die auch die Drehachse der Tür umfasst, wobei an dieser Stange die Tür angeordnet ist und die Stange selbst an dem Gehäuse drehbar gelagert ist.The invention is thus particularly advantageous in embodiments in which the door is fastened to the housing without explicit hinges. The pivoting device is formed in such embodiments, in particular to the effect that it has only one rod, which also includes the axis of rotation of the door, wherein the door is arranged on this rod and the rod itself is rotatably mounted on the housing.

Die Schwenkvorrichtung kann jedoch auch mit Scharnieren ausgebildet sein.However, the pivoting device may also be formed with hinges.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass der Verbindungsarm im Hinblick auf einen individuellen Öffnungswinkel der Tür, der durch den Verbindungsarm begrenzt ist, einstellbar ist. Es kann somit auch nutzerindividuell ein gewünschter Öffnungswinkel der Tür eingestellt werden, der dann durch den Verbindungsarm begrenzt ist. Dies bedeutet, dass durch die Ausgestaltung und Anordnung des Verbindungsarms dann die Tür maximal nur um diesen entsprechenden vorgegebenen Öffnungswinkel geöffnet werden kann.It is preferably provided that the connecting arm is adjustable with regard to an individual opening angle of the door, which is limited by the connecting arm. Thus, a user-specific desired opening angle of the door can also be set, which is then limited by the connecting arm. This means that by the configuration and arrangement of the connecting arm then the door can only be opened at most by this corresponding predetermined opening angle.

Durch einen derartigen Verbindungsarm kann somit die Türöffnung bei einem gewissen Winkel begrenzt werden. Darüber hinaus nimmt ein derartiger Verbindungsarm auch die Anschlagkräfte auf, die somit nicht mehr auf die Schwenkvorrichtung wirken.By such a connecting arm thus the door opening can be limited at a certain angle. In addition, such a connecting arm also absorbs the impact forces, which thus no longer act on the pivoting device.

Insbesondere dann, wenn die Schwenkvorrichtung auch Scharniere umfasst, die um einen großen Winkel, beispielsweise um zumindest 180° eine Verschwenkung ermöglichen, kann durch diesen zusätzlichen Verbindungsarm und einer Öffnungswinkelbegrenzung, die kleiner ist als der maximale Öffnungswinkel der Scharniere, verhindert werden, dass die Scharniere die beim Anschlag an der Endposition auftretenden Anschlagskräfte aufnehmen müssen.In particular, when the pivoting device also includes hinges which allow pivoting at a large angle, for example by at least 180 °, this additional connecting arm and an opening angle limitation which is smaller than the maximum opening angle of the hinges can prevent the hinges from being prevented must absorb the impact forces occurring at the stop at the end position.

Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass eine derartige Öffnungswinkeleinstellung durch den Verbindungsarm beispielsweise 30° oder 90° oder 120° beträgt.It can be provided that such an opening angle adjustment by the connecting arm is for example 30 ° or 90 ° or 120 °.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass der Verbindungsarm einen Bewegungsdämpfer für die Tür aufweist. Dieser kann somit integral in dem Verbindungsarm angeordnet werden. Der Bewegungsdämpfer ist somit sehr platzsparend angeordnet und insbesondere wenn er in dem Verbindungsarm innenliegend angeordnet ist, auch geschützt positioniert. Zumindest bereichsweise kann der gesamte Bewegungsweg der Tür somit auch gedämpft werden. Auch hier kann insbesondere ein hartes Anschlagen in den Endstellungen vermieden werden.It is preferably provided that the connecting arm has a motion damper for the door. This can thus be arranged integrally in the connecting arm. The motion damper is thus arranged very space-saving and in particular if it is arranged inside the connecting arm, also positioned protected. At least partially, the entire path of movement of the door can thus be damped. Again, in particular a hard striking in the end positions can be avoided.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass der Verbindungsarm einen Türauswerfer zum Öffnen der geschlossenen Endposition der Tür aufweist. Wird somit die Tür beispielsweise über ein außenliegendes Bedienelement betätigt, so kann die geschlossene Endposition zunächst automatisch dadurch gelöst werden, dass der Türauswerfer im Verbindungsarm diese geschlossene Endposition löst. Eine Teilöffnung der Tür ist dann erreicht, von wo aus die weitere Öffnungsbewegung der Tür einfach durchgeführt werden kann.It is preferably provided that the connecting arm has a door ejector for opening the closed end position of the door. Thus, if the door is actuated, for example, via an external operating element, then the closed end position can first be automatically released by the door ejector in the connecting arm releasing this closed end position. A partial opening of the door is then reached, from where the further opening movement of the door can be easily performed.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass der Verbindungsarm eine Antriebseinheit aufweist, mit welcher die Tür angetrieben verschwenkbar ist. Durch eine derartige Ausgestaltung kann quasi motorisch die Bewegung der Tür selbständig automatisch erfolgen, sodass ein Nutzer selbst gar nicht mehr die Bewegung der Tür durch Greifen der Tür und Durchführen der Schwenkbewegung bewegen muss.It is preferably provided that the connecting arm has a drive unit with which the door is driven to pivot. By such a configuration, virtually the movement of the door can automatically be done automatically, so a Users themselves no longer have to move the door by gripping the door and performing the pivoting movement.

Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Verbindungsarm auch als Kabelaufnahme für elektrische Kabel ausgebildet ist. Insbesondere ist vorgesehen, dass der Verbindungsarm dazu einen Kabelschacht aufweist. Die Kabel können dadurch besonders geschützt geführt werden. Indem sie in dem Verbindungsarm angeordnet sind, kann auch das ungewünschte Durchscheuern oder sonstige Knicken der Kabel verhindert werden.It can be provided that the connecting arm is also designed as a cable receptacle for electrical cables. In particular, it is provided that the connecting arm has a cable duct for this purpose. The cables can be guided thereby protected. By being arranged in the connecting arm, it is also possible to prevent undesired chafing or other kinking of the cables.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass der Verbindungsarm gegenüber einer Achse der Schwenkvorrichtung nach innen versetzt und an einer Innenseite der Tür angebunden ist. Insbesondere ist er dabei mit einem an der Innenseite der Tür angeordneten Verbindungselement drehbar gelagert verbunden. Eine derartige Ausgestaltung und Anordnung des Verbindungsarms ist dahingehend positiv, da er jederzeit zugänglich und handhabbar ist, sodass einfache und leicht durchführbare Montagen oder dergleichen erfolgen können.It is preferably provided that the connecting arm is offset in relation to an axis of the pivoting device inwardly and is connected to an inner side of the door. In particular, it is connected rotatably mounted with a arranged on the inside of the door connecting element. Such a configuration and arrangement of the connecting arm is positive to the effect that it is always accessible and manageable, so that simple and easy to carry out montages or the like can take place.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass der Verbindungsarm zumindest bereichsweise ein Hohlprofil ist. Dadurch ist er besonders gewichtsparend und dennoch mechanisch stabil ausgebildet. Darüber hinaus wird durch dieses Hohlprofil im Inneren des Verbindungsarms Freiraum geschaffen, der zur Aufnahme von weiteren Komponenten oder Bauteilen, wie sie beispielhaft schon genannt wurden, ausgebildet ist.It is preferably provided that the connecting arm is at least partially a hollow profile. As a result, it is particularly weight-saving and yet mechanically stable. In addition, space is created by this hollow profile in the interior of the connecting arm, which is designed to receive further components or components, as they have already been exemplified.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass die Tür seitlich angeschlagen ist und der Verbindungsarm in einem oberen Viertel der Höhe der Tür angeordnet ist. Die Tür ist also um eine vertikale Achse verschwenkbar.It is preferably provided that the door is hinged laterally and the connecting arm is arranged in an upper quarter of the height of the door. The door is thus pivotable about a vertical axis.

In den Figuren werden gleiche oder funktionsgleiche Elemente mit gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen.In the figures, identical or functionally identical elements are provided with the same reference numerals.

In Fig. 1 ist ein als Gargerät 1 ausgebildetes Haushaltsgerät gezeigt. Das Gargerät 1 umfasst einen als Garraum 2 ausgebildeten Aufnahmeraum, in dem Lebensmittel zur Zubereitung eingebracht werden können. Der Garraum 2 ist durch Wände einer Muffel 3 begrenzt. Die Muffel 3 weist frontseitig eine Beschickungsöffnung auf, die durch eine Tür 4 verschließbar ist. Die Tür 4 ist im Ausführungsbeispiel mit zumindest einer elektronischen Komponente in Form einer Bedieneinrichtung 4b ausgebildet, die im Bereich eines oberen Rands 4a der Tür 4 angeordnet ist.In Fig. 1 is a trained as a cooking appliance 1 home appliance shown. The cooking appliance 1 comprises a receiving space designed as a cooking space 2, in which food can be introduced for preparation. The cooking chamber 2 is bounded by walls of a muffle 3. The muffle 3 has on the front side a charging opening, which can be closed by a door 4. The door 4 is formed in the embodiment with at least one electronic component in the form of an operating device 4b, which is arranged in the region of an upper edge 4a of the door 4.

Die Tür 4 ist im Ausführungsbeispiel seitlich angeschlagen, was bedeutet, dass sie über eine vertikale Achse A verschwenkbar ist.The door 4 is laterally hinged in the embodiment, which means that it is pivotable about a vertical axis A.

Dazu ist eine Schwenkvorrichtung 5 vorgesehen. Diese kann dahingehend ausgestaltet sein, dass sie lediglich eine Stange umfasst, die auch die Achse A aufweist. Diese Stange ist dann an einem Gehäuse 6 des Gargeräts 1 drehbar gelagert angeordnet, wobei die Tür 4 an dieser Stange befestigt ist. Es kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Schwenkvorrichtung 5 zwei Scharniere 5a und 5b aufweist.For this purpose, a pivoting device 5 is provided. This can be designed so that it comprises only one rod, which also has the axis A. This rod is then rotatably mounted on a housing 6 of the cooking device 1, wherein the door 4 is fixed to this rod. It can also be provided that the pivoting device 5 has two hinges 5a and 5b.

Zusätzlich zu dieser Schwenkvorrichtung 5 ist beabstandet zu der genannten Stange oder beabstandet zu den Scharnieren 5a und 5b ein Verbindungsarm 7 ausgebildet, der mit der Tür 4 und dem Gehäuse 6 verbunden ist. Der Verbindungsarm 7 ist im Hinblick auf die Höhe der Tür 4 relativ nahe zum oberen Rand 4a angeordnet, insbesondere innerhalb eines oberen Viertels der Höhe der Tür 4 ausgebildet. Wie dabei zu erkennen ist, ist dieser Verbindungsarm 7 horizontal orientiert und gegenüber der möglichen Stange der Schwenkvorrichtung 5 oder möglichen Scharnieren 5a und 5b nach innen versetzt bzw. von dem hinteren, dem Gehäuse 6 zugewandten vertikalen Rand der Tür 4 nach vorne versetzt an die Tür 4 angebunden. Dazu ist vorgesehen, dass an einer Innenseite 4c der Tür 4 ein Verbindungselement 8 angeordnet ist, mit dem der Verbindungsarm 7 drehbar gelagert verbunden ist.In addition to this pivoting device 5, a connecting arm 7, which is connected to the door 4 and the housing 6, is formed at a distance from said rod or at a distance from the hinges 5a and 5b. The connecting arm 7 is arranged with respect to the height of the door 4 relatively close to the upper edge 4 a, in particular formed within an upper quarter of the height of the door 4. As can be seen, is this connecting arm 7 horizontally oriented and offset from the possible rod of the pivoting device 5 or possible hinges 5a and 5b inwardly or from the rear, the housing 6 facing vertical edge of the door 4 offset forward to the door 4 connected. For this purpose, it is provided that on an inner side 4c of the door 4, a connecting element 8 is arranged, with which the connecting arm 7 is rotatably connected.

In Fig. 3 ist eine andere perspektivische Darstellung des Teilausschnitts gemäß Fig. 2 gezeigt. Der Verbindungsarm 7 ist dabei auch von unten erkennbar.In Fig. 3 is another perspective view of the partial section according to Fig. 2 shown. The connecting arm 7 is also recognizable from below.

Demgegenüber ist in Fig. 4 eine nochmals unterschiedliche perspektivische Darstellung des Teilausschnitts gemäß Fig. 2 und Fig. 3 gezeigt, wobei hier eine Aufsicht auf den Verbindungsarm 7 gezeigt ist.In contrast, in Fig. 4 again a different perspective view of the partial section according to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 shown, with a plan view of the connecting arm 7 is shown here.

Der Verbindungsarm 7 ist multifunktionell ausgestaltet. Er ist einerseits als Begrenzer für einen Öffnungswinkel der Tür 4 ausgestaltet. Dies bedeutet, dass durch den Verbindungsarm 7 definiert ist, wie der Öffnungswinkel der Tür 4 gestaltet ist.
