Gegebenenfalls die zur Abdichtung verwendete Kappe kann aus einem Werkstoff mit höherer Glühdrahtfestigkeit als die Gummi-Umspritzung realisiert werden. Dadurch ist ein höherer elektrischer Strom zur Platine über die Verbindung zulässig. Optionally, the cap used for sealing may be made of a material with higher glow wire resistance than the rubber encapsulation can be realized. This allows a higher electrical current to the board over the connection.
Es kann eine Montagevereinfachung durch günstigere Fügerichtung der Platine ins Gehäuse erreicht werden. Die Herstellung der elektrischen Verbindung erfolgt nicht durch blindes Fügen von Stift in Buchse, sondern kann durch Einschieben der Platine über im Gehäuse integrierte Führungen in den Randkartensteckverbinder erfolgen. It can be a mounting simplification achieved by cheaper joining direction of the board into the housing. The electrical connection is not made by blind-paste from pin to socket, but can be done by inserting the board via integrated into the housing guides in the edge card connector.

Um das Gehäuse 1 1 besser gegen den Isolierschaum 12 abzudichten, weist das The shaft 20 is open in the direction of the interior 3 and comprises in this area an opening 23, through which the circuit board 14 with the LED 13 can be pushed into the shaft 20. In addition, the shaft 20 includes, for example, guides 24 for the printed circuit board 14. To seal the housing 1 1 better against the insulating foam 12, has that
Gehäuse 1 1 im Falle des vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiels eine z.B. einstückig am Gehäuse 1 1 angeformte Dichtlippe 16 auf. Housing 1 1 in the case of the present embodiment a e.g. in one piece on the housing 1 1 molded sealing lip 16.
Im Falle des vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiels verläuft innerhalb des Isolierschaums 12 eine elektrische Leitung 17, die vorgesehen ist, die LED 13 bei geöffnetem Türblatt 5 mit elektrischer Energie zu versorgen. Die elektrische Leitung 17 ist z.B. mit ihrem einen Ende mit der Steuervorrichtung des Haushaltskältegerätes 1 verbunden, sodass die Innenbeleuchtung 10 bei geöffnetem Türblatt 5 ein und bei geschlossenem Türblatt 5 ausgeschaltet ist. In the case of the present embodiment runs within the Isolierschaums 12, an electrical line 17, which is provided to supply the LED 13 with the door open 5 with electrical energy. The electric wire 17 is e.g. connected at one end to the control device of the household refrigerator 1, so that the interior lighting 10 is turned off when the door leaf 5 is open and when the door leaf 5 is closed.
Um die elektrische Leitung 17 mit der LED 13 bzw. mit der Leiterplatte 14 elektrisch zu kontaktieren, umfasst die Leiterplatine 14 an ihrem Randbereich einen elektrischen Kontakt 18. Das der Innenbeleuchtung 10 zugewandte Ende der elektrischen Leitung 17 ist mit einem Randkartenstecker 19 versehen, der insbesondere formschlüssig in den Schacht 20 des Gehäuses 11 gesteckt ist und somit den Kontakt 18 der Leiterplatine 14 elektrische kontaktiert. Der Randkartenstecker 19 ist insbesondere in eine Öffnung des Schachtes 20, die in Richtung Isolierschaum 12 zeigt, formschlüssig gesteckt. In order to electrically contact the electrical line 17 with the LED 13 or with the printed circuit board 14, the printed circuit board 14 comprises an electrical contact 18 at its edge region. The end of the electrical line 17 facing the interior lighting 10 is provided with an edge card plug 19, which in particular positively in the slot 20 of the housing 11 is inserted and thus contacted the contact 18 of the printed circuit board 14 electrical. The edge card plug 19 is inserted in particular into an opening of the shaft 20, which points in the direction of insulating foam 12, positive fit.
Um den Schacht 20 verbessert gegen den Isolierschaum 12 abzudichten, ist im Falle des vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiels noch eine Kappe z.B. aus Kunststoff und/oder in Form eines Filmscharniers 21 vorgesehen, das in den Figuren 2, 3 im aufgeklappten Zustand gezeigt ist. Nach dem Kontaktieren des Randkartensteckers 19 mit der Leiterplatte 14 und vor dem Einschäumen des Gehäuses 11 in den Isolierschaum 12 wird das Filmscharnier 21 umgeklappt, um das Ende des Schachts 20, in dem der Randkartenstecker 19 formschlüssig steckt, zu verschließen. Das Filmscharnier 21 ist z.B. einstückig am Gehäuse 1 1 angeformt, wie dies in den Figuren 2, 3 gezeigt ist. In order to seal the shaft 20 better against the insulating foam 12, in the case of the present embodiment, a cap e.g. made of plastic and / or in the form of a film hinge 21, which is shown in Figures 2, 3 in the unfolded state. After contacting the edge card connector 19 with the circuit board 14 and before foaming of the housing 11 in the insulating foam 12, the film hinge 21 is folded over to close the end of the shaft 20 in which the edge card connector 19 is inserted form-fitting. The film hinge 21 is e.g. integrally formed on the housing 1 1, as shown in Figures 2, 3.
Die Innenbeleuchtung 10 umfasst ferner eine nicht näher dargestellte, zumindest semitransparenten Abdeckung, mit der der Reflektor 15 verschlossen werden kann. Die Abdeckung kann z.B. auf den Innenbehälter 3 oderauf das Gehäuse 11 der The interior lighting 10 further comprises a non-illustrated, at least semi-transparent cover with which the reflector 15 can be closed. The cover may e.g. on the inner container 3 or on the housing 11 of
Innenbeleuchtung 10 aufgeklipst werden oder mit diesem verrasten. Die Abdeckung kann auch lösbar am Gehäuse 1 1 der Innenbeleuchtung 10 oder am Innenbehälter 3 befestigt sein. Das Gehäuse 1 1 umfasst z.B. einstückig angeformte Rastmittel 22, damit die Abdeckung am Gehäuse 11 befestigt werden kann. Interior lighting 10 are clipped or locked with this. The cover can also be releasably attached to the housing 1 1 of the interior lighting 10 or the inner container 3 be. The housing 1 1 includes, for example integrally molded locking means 22 so that the cover can be attached to the housing 11.
