Definitions
- the invention relates to a refrigerator with a cabinet body with an access opening lying essentially in a vertical plane, in which a sliding door arrangement is arranged.
- the next publication DE 20 2008 008006 U1 discloses a refrigerator with a sliding door arrangement, wherein the sliding door elements are each connected to carriages that run in a mounting rail. Furthermore, a damping arrangement is provided which has a damping cylinder and a damping piston, by means of which the closing movement of the relevant sliding door element is damped.
- the damping arrangement is essentially provided in a vertical frame post of the refrigerated cabinet.
- JP 2009 191469 A discloses a sliding door arrangement according to the preamble of claim 8.
- the object of the invention is to provide a refrigerator with a sliding door arrangement with a simple and effective damping arrangement or a corresponding retrofittable sliding door arrangement.
- the refrigerator according to the invention has a cabinet body with an access opening lying essentially in a vertical plane.
- a sliding door arrangement is arranged in the vertical access opening and has at least one sliding door element which is provided so as to be displaceable in the transverse direction in the vertical plane of the access opening.
- at least two sliding door elements are preferably arranged in the access opening, the two sliding door elements being offset in relation to one another in depth, so that they can be brought against one another in part or completely by shifting in the transverse direction.
- the sliding door arrangement has a horizontal mounting rail which is attached to the cabinet body either at the bottom or preferably at the top in the vertical plane of the access opening.
- the sliding door element has a horizontal carriage with rollers that run on or in the mounting rail. In the case of a mounting rail arranged at the top of the cabinet body, the sliding door element therefore hangs on the carriage which runs in the mounting rail in the transverse direction.
- the sliding door arrangement has a damping arrangement which is connected on the one hand to the carriage and on the other hand to the cabinet body and which dampens the closing movement of the sliding door element.
- the damping arrangement in turn has a horizontal damping cylinder in which a damping piston is slidably arranged.
- the damping cylinder and / or the damping piston has a valve element which the cylinder space enclosed by the damping cylinder and the damping piston during the sliding door opening movement ventilated and less or not ventilated during the sliding door closing movement. So it is a so-called check valve element.
- the damping arrangement is therefore largely ineffective during the opening movement, and essentially only acts during the closing movement.
- the horizontal axial length of the damping cylinder can, for example, be approximately as long as the sliding door element is wide. In this way, the entire closing movement can be damped by the damping arrangement when the sliding door element is fully open. This ensures a smooth and smooth closing movement of the sliding door element, regardless of whether the closing movement is supported or driven by a closing device or is carried out manually.
- the carriage is formed by a profile body on which the rollers are rotatably fastened, the damping cylinder being an integral part of the one-piece profile body.
- the profile body can, for example, be an extruded aluminum profile body which has a vertical web to which the rollers are rotatably fastened, and which, adjoining the vertical web below, has a cylinder body which forms the damping cylinder.
- the damping piston is preferably arranged at the end of a piston rod, the other free end of which is connected directly or indirectly to the cabinet body.
- the Sliding door arrangement on a vertical frame post at the upper end of which it is connected to the mounting rail, the fixed side of the damping arrangement being fastened to the frame post.
- the two vertical frame posts at the two longitudinal ends of the mounting rail and the mounting rail together form a mounting frame of the sliding door arrangement.
- the support frame can be supplemented by a second horizontal rail at the lower end of the frame post, so that the support frame is a closed rectangular frame.
- the damping piston has an elastic annular lip body as a valve element.
- the ring lip body lies against the inner wall of the damping cylinder and, viewed in cross section, has an axial orientation in the opening device, that is to say it forms a lip folded over in the opening direction.
- the ring lip body is lifted radially inward during the opening movement, so that the air from the shrinking displacement can flow past the damping piston.
- the pressure difference ensures that the circular ring lip body is pressed radially outwards, so that the air cannot escape from the closed displacement or only very slowly.
- the damping cylinder and / or the damping piston preferably has a throttle valve, through which the air can escape throttled from the displacement during the closing movement.
- a mechanical locking device is preferably provided, which pushes the opened door element into the closed position.
- the locking device can be implemented in various technical ways, for example by spring force, compressed air or a pull weight.
- the locking device particularly preferably has one fastened to the carriage Traction cable on, wherein the traction cable is deflected into the vertical by a traction cable deflection, which is arranged in the corner region connecting the mounting rail and the frame post, and a traction weight is fastened in the frame post at the end of the traction cable.
- the one end of the traction cable attached to the carriage is deflected downwards from the horizontal to the vertical by the traction cable deflection in the corner region.
- the pull weight which can move vertically up and down in a cavity of the vertical frame post, hangs on the vertical pull rope section.
- the locking device is designed to be structurally and functionally completely separate from the damping arrangement, so that undesired interactions between the locking device and the damping arrangement are excluded.
- the sliding door element can preferably be fastened to the carriage so that it can pivot about a vertical axis, so that the sliding door element can be pivoted in the sliding function closed position.
- the free end of the piston rod is pivotally fastened to the cabinet body or the vertical frame post with a pivot joint coaxial to the sliding door pivot axis.
- a refrigerator 10 is shown, which can also be referred to as a cooling shelf.
- Characteristic of the refrigerator 10 is a rectangular and towering cabinet body 12 with a front access opening 14 lying essentially in a vertical plane. In the cooled interior of the cabinet body 12, several horizontal shelves can be provided, on which refrigerated goods can be stored and presented.
- a sliding door arrangement 20 is arranged in the vertical access opening 14 and was retrofitted after the refrigerator 10 had been installed. It is therefore a retrofittable sliding door arrangement 20.
- the sliding door arrangement 20 has a rectangular frame which is formed at the top by a horizontal support profile 22, laterally by two vertical frame posts 24 and at the bottom by a horizontal foot profile 21. All of the above parts of the frame are essentially extruded aluminum profiles.
- the two support rails 26 are offset in depth from one another in the support profile 22 and are arranged directly one behind the other.
- Each sliding door element 40, 41 has a transparent glass pane 42.
- Each mounting rail 26 has a longitudinal slot 27 in a lower horizontal wall 29, which extends over the entire width of the access opening 14.
- a carriage 30 is slidably suspended, which is approximately in the transverse direction Width of a sliding door element 40.41 extends.
- Each sliding door element 40, 41 is suspended from a carriage 30 by two supporting bolts 44.
- the structure of a carriage 30 is particularly shown in Figure 3 shown.
- the carriage 30 is essentially formed by an extruded aluminum profile body 31, which has a vertical web 32 at the top, on which a plurality of rollers 28 which are rotatable about a horizontal axis are mounted.
- the vertical web 32 projects vertically through the longitudinal slot 27 of the mounting rail 26.
- a hollow cylinder 34 adjoins the vertical web 32 below the longitudinal slot 27 and forms a damping cylinder 62 of a damping arrangement 60.
- Below the hollow cylinder 34 is a support structure 36, to which the two support bolts 44 are fixed, which hold the relevant sliding door element 40, 41.
- the damping arrangement 60 is essentially formed by the damping cylinder 62, the damping piston 64, the valve element 68 on the damping piston 64 and the piston rod 70 holding the damping piston 64.
- the piston rod 70 is formed by a hollow cylinder body 72, on the free end of which the damping piston 64 including an annular lip body 69 is arranged.
- the annular lip body 69 acts as a non-return valve element 68 and is open when the sliding door element 40 is opened and closed when the sliding door element 40 is closed.
- the damping cylinder 62, the damping piston 64 and an end cap 80 which closes the hollow cylinder 34 on the longitudinal side, enclose a displacement 67.
- the air from the displacement 67 can pass the circular annular lip body 69 when the sliding door element 40, 41 opens the displacement 67 flow.
- the end cap 80 has a throttle valve 82 through which air can flow in and out of the displacement 67 in both directions.

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Kühlschrank mit einem Schrankkörper mit einer im Wesentlichen in einer vertikalen Ebene liegenden Zugriffsöffnung, in der eine Schiebetür-Anordnung angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a refrigerator with a cabinet body with an access opening lying essentially in a vertical plane, in which a sliding door arrangement is arranged.
Kühlschränke im gewerblichen Bereich weisen häufig Schiebetüren auf, für die zum Öffnen der Türen vor dem Kühlschrank weniger Platz benötigt wird, als bei Schwenktüren. Ferner wird durch Schiebetüren, im Gegensatz zu Schwenktüren, beim Öffnen und Schließen kein Druckgefälle zwischen dem Kühlraum und der Umgebung erzeugt, so dass beim Öffnen und Schließen weniger Kälte aus dem Kühlraum entweicht.Commercial refrigerators often have sliding doors for which less space is required to open the doors in front of the refrigerator than with swing doors. Furthermore, unlike swing doors, sliding doors do not generate a pressure drop between the cooling compartment and the surroundings when opening and closing, so that less cold escapes from the cooling compartment when opening and closing.
Nachdem Waren aus dem Kühlraum entnommen sind, muss die Schiebetür wieder zugeschoben werden, was manuell erfolgt oder durch eine entsprechende Schließeinrichtung erzwungen wird. Allerdings soll ein heftiges Anschlagen der Schiebetür beim Schließen in die Schließposition möglichst vermieden werden. Es werden im Stand der Technik daher Dämpfungsanordnungen eingesetzt, die insbesondere in der finalen Schießphase die Schließbewegung abbremsen.After goods have been removed from the cold room, the sliding door must be closed again, which is done manually or by an appropriate locking device. However, violent slamming of the sliding door when closing in the closed position should be avoided as far as possible. In the prior art, damping arrangements are therefore used which slow down the closing movement, in particular in the final shooting phase.

Die Dämpfungsanordnung ist im Wesentlichen in einem vertikalen Rahmenpfosten des Kühlmöbels vorgesehen.The damping arrangement is essentially provided in a vertical frame post of the refrigerated cabinet.
Aus
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Kühlschrank mit einer Schiebetür-Anordnung mit einer einfachen und effektiven Dämpfungsanordnung bzw. eine entsprechende nachrüstbare Schiebetür-Anordnung zu schaffen.The object of the invention is to provide a refrigerator with a sliding door arrangement with a simple and effective damping arrangement or a corresponding retrofittable sliding door arrangement.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch einem Kühlschrank mit den Merkmalen gemäß Anspruch 1 bzw. durch eine nachrüstbare Schiebetür-Anordnung mit den Merkmalen gemäß Anspruch 8 für einen Kühlschrank gemäß Anspruch 1.This object is achieved according to the invention by a refrigerator with the features according to
Der erfindungsgemäße Kühlschrank weist einen Schrankkörper mit einer im Wesentlichen in einer Vertikalenebene liegenden Zugriffsöffnung auf. In der vertikalen Zugriffsöffnung ist eine Schiebetür-Anordnung angeordnet, die mindestens ein Schiebetür-Element aufweist, das in der Zugriffsöffnungs- Vertikalebene In Querrichtung verschiebbar vorgesehen ist. Bevorzugt sind jedoch mindestens zwei Schiebetür-Elemente in der Zugriffsöffnung angeordnet, wobei die beiden Schiebetür-Elemente in der Tiefe versetzt zueinander angeordnet sind, so dass diese durch Verschieben in Querrichtung in teilweise oder vollständige Deckung voreinander gebracht werden können.The refrigerator according to the invention has a cabinet body with an access opening lying essentially in a vertical plane. A sliding door arrangement is arranged in the vertical access opening and has at least one sliding door element which is provided so as to be displaceable in the transverse direction in the vertical plane of the access opening. However, at least two sliding door elements are preferably arranged in the access opening, the two sliding door elements being offset in relation to one another in depth, so that they can be brought against one another in part or completely by shifting in the transverse direction.
Die Schiebetür-Anordnung weist eine waagerechte Tragschiene auf, die in der Zugriffsöffnungs- Vertikalebene entweder unten oder bevorzugt oben an dem Schrankkörper befestigt ist. Das Schiebetür-Element weist einen horizontalen Laufwagen mit Laufrollen auf, die auf bzw. In der Tragschiene laufen. Bei einer oben an dem Schrankkörper angeordneten Tragschiene hängt das Schiebetür-Element also an dem Laufwagen, der in der Tragschiene in Querrichtung verschiebbar läuft.The sliding door arrangement has a horizontal mounting rail which is attached to the cabinet body either at the bottom or preferably at the top in the vertical plane of the access opening. The sliding door element has a horizontal carriage with rollers that run on or in the mounting rail. In the case of a mounting rail arranged at the top of the cabinet body, the sliding door element therefore hangs on the carriage which runs in the mounting rail in the transverse direction.
Ferner weist die Schiebetür-Anordnung eine Dämpfungsanordnung auf, die einerseits mit dem Laufwagen und andererseits mit dem Schrankkörper verbunden ist, und die die Schließbewegung des Schiebetür-Türelements dämpft. Die Dämpfungsanordnung ihrerseits weist einen horizontalen Dämpfungszylinder auf, in dem ein Dämpfungskolben verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Der Dämpfungszylinder und/oder der Dämpfungskolben weist ein Ventilelement auf, das den von dem Dämpfungszylinder und dem Dämpfungskolben eingeschlossenen Zylinderraum bei der Schiebetür-Öffnungsbewegung belüftet und bei der Schiebetür-Schließbewegung weniger oder nicht belüftet. Es handelt sich also um ein so genanntes Rückschlag-Ventilelement.Furthermore, the sliding door arrangement has a damping arrangement which is connected on the one hand to the carriage and on the other hand to the cabinet body and which dampens the closing movement of the sliding door element. The damping arrangement in turn has a horizontal damping cylinder in which a damping piston is slidably arranged. The damping cylinder and / or the damping piston has a valve element which the cylinder space enclosed by the damping cylinder and the damping piston during the sliding door opening movement ventilated and less or not ventilated during the sliding door closing movement. So it is a so-called check valve element.
Die Dämpfungsanordnung ist also während der Öffnungsbewegung weitgehend wirkungslos, und wirkt im Wesentlichen nur während der Schließbewegung. Der Dämpfungszylinder kann in seiner horizontalen Axiallänge beispielsweise ungefähr so lang ausgebildet sein, wie das Schiebetürelement Schiebetür-Element breit ist. Auf diese Weise kann bei vollständig geöffnetem Schiebetür-Element die gesamte Schließbewegung durch die Dämpfungsanordnung gedämpft werden. Hierdurch wird eine gleichmäßige und sanfte Schließbewegung des Schiebetür-Elements sichergestellt, unabhängig davon, ob die Schließbewegung durch eine Schließeinrichtung unterstützt oder getrieben wird, oder aber manuell vorgenommen wird.The damping arrangement is therefore largely ineffective during the opening movement, and essentially only acts during the closing movement. The horizontal axial length of the damping cylinder can, for example, be approximately as long as the sliding door element is wide. In this way, the entire closing movement can be damped by the damping arrangement when the sliding door element is fully open. This ensures a smooth and smooth closing movement of the sliding door element, regardless of whether the closing movement is supported or driven by a closing device or is carried out manually.
Der Laufwagen ist von einem Profilkörper gebildet, an dem die Laufrollen drehbar befestigt sind, wobei der Dämpfungszylinder ein integraler Bestandteil des einstückigen Profilkörpers ist. Der Profilkörper kann beispielsweise ein Aluminium-Strangguss- Profilkörper sein, der einen vertikalen Steg aufweist, an dem die Laufrollen drehbar befestigt ist, und der, an den vertikalen Steg unten anschließend, einen Zylinderkörper aufweist, der den Dämpfungszylinder bildet. Durch die Integration des Dämpfungszylinders in den Laufwagen-Profilkörper wird der HerstellungsAufwand für die Dämpfungsanordnung erheblich reduziert.The carriage is formed by a profile body on which the rollers are rotatably fastened, the damping cylinder being an integral part of the one-piece profile body. The profile body can, for example, be an extruded aluminum profile body which has a vertical web to which the rollers are rotatably fastened, and which, adjoining the vertical web below, has a cylinder body which forms the damping cylinder. By integrating the damping cylinder in the carriage profile body, the manufacturing effort for the damping arrangement is significantly reduced.
Vorzugsweise ist der Dämpfungskolben am Ende einer Kolbenstange angeordnet, deren anderes freies Ende mit dem Schrankkörper mittelbar oder unmittelbar verbunden ist. Besonders bevorzugt weist die Schiebetür-Anordnung einen vertikalen Rahmenpfosten auf, an dessen oberem Ende dieser mit der Tragschiene verbunden ist, wobei die feststehende Seite der Dämpfungsanordnung an dem Rahmenpfosten befestigt ist. Die beiden vertikalen Rahmenpfosten an den beiden Längsenden der Tragschiene und die Tragschiene bilden zusammen einen Tragrahmen der Schiebetür-Anordnung. Der Tragrahmen kann noch durch eine zweite horizontale Schiene am unteren Ende der Rahmenpfosten ergänzt sein, so dass der Tragrahmen ein geschlossener rechteckiger Rahmen ist.The damping piston is preferably arranged at the end of a piston rod, the other free end of which is connected directly or indirectly to the cabinet body. The Sliding door arrangement on a vertical frame post, at the upper end of which it is connected to the mounting rail, the fixed side of the damping arrangement being fastened to the frame post. The two vertical frame posts at the two longitudinal ends of the mounting rail and the mounting rail together form a mounting frame of the sliding door arrangement. The support frame can be supplemented by a second horizontal rail at the lower end of the frame post, so that the support frame is a closed rectangular frame.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung weist der Dämpfungskolben als Ventilelement einen elastischen Ringlippen-Körper auf. Der Ringlippen-Körper liegt an der Innenwand des Dämpfungszylinders an und hat, im Querschnitt betrachtet, eine axiale Orientierung in Öffnungsvorrichtung, bildet also eine in Öffnungsrichtung umgeschlagene Lippe. Auf diese Weise wird während der Öffnungsbewegung - auf Grund der Druckdifferenz zwischen dem Hubraum und der Umgebung - der Ringlippen-Körper nach radial innen abgehoben, so dass die Luft aus dem kleiner werdenden Hubraum an dem Dämpfungskolben vorbeifließen kann. Während der Schließbewegung sorgt die Druckdifferenz dafür, dass der zirkuläre Ringlippen-Körper radial nach außen gedrückt wird, so dass die Luft aus dem geschlossenen Hubraum nicht oder nur sehr langsam entweichen kann. Vorzugsweise weist der Dämpfungszylinder und/ oder dem Dämpfungskolben ein Drosselventil auf, durch das die Luft während der Schließbewegung aus dem Hubraum gedrosselt entweichen kann.According to a preferred embodiment, the damping piston has an elastic annular lip body as a valve element. The ring lip body lies against the inner wall of the damping cylinder and, viewed in cross section, has an axial orientation in the opening device, that is to say it forms a lip folded over in the opening direction. In this way, due to the pressure difference between the displacement and the environment, the ring lip body is lifted radially inward during the opening movement, so that the air from the shrinking displacement can flow past the damping piston. During the closing movement, the pressure difference ensures that the circular ring lip body is pressed radially outwards, so that the air cannot escape from the closed displacement or only very slowly. The damping cylinder and / or the damping piston preferably has a throttle valve, through which the air can escape throttled from the displacement during the closing movement.
Vorzugsweise ist eine mechanische Schließeinrichtung vorgesehen, die das geöffnete Türelement in die Schließposition schiebt. Grundsätzlich kann die Schließeinrichtung auf verschiedene technische Weise realisiert sein, beispielsweise durch Federkraft, Druckluft oder ein Zuggewicht. Besonders bevorzugt weist die Schließeinrichtung ein an dem Laufwagen befestigtes Zugseil auf, wobei das Zugseil durch eine Zugseil-Umlenkung, die in dem die Tragschiene und den Rahmenpfosten verbindenden Eckbereich angeordnet ist, in die Vertikale umgelenkt wird, und wobei ein Zuggewicht in dem Rahmenpfosten am Ende des Zugseils befestigt ist. Das mit seinem einen Ende an dem Laufwagen befestigte Zugseil wird durch die Zugseil-Umlenkung in dem Eckbereich aus der Horizontalen in die Vertikale nach unten umgelenkt. An dem vertikalen Zugseil-Abschnitt hängt das Zuggewicht, das sich in einem Hohlraum des vertikalen Rahmenpfostens vertikal auf und ab bewegen kann. In jedem Fall ist die Schließeinrichtung konstruktiv und funktionell vollständig getrennt von der Dämpfungsanordnung ausgebildet, so dass unerwünschte Wechselwirkungen zwischen der Schließeinrichtung und der Dämpfungsanordnung ausgeschlossen sind.A mechanical locking device is preferably provided, which pushes the opened door element into the closed position. Basically, the locking device can be implemented in various technical ways, for example by spring force, compressed air or a pull weight. The locking device particularly preferably has one fastened to the carriage Traction cable on, wherein the traction cable is deflected into the vertical by a traction cable deflection, which is arranged in the corner region connecting the mounting rail and the frame post, and a traction weight is fastened in the frame post at the end of the traction cable. The one end of the traction cable attached to the carriage is deflected downwards from the horizontal to the vertical by the traction cable deflection in the corner region. The pull weight, which can move vertically up and down in a cavity of the vertical frame post, hangs on the vertical pull rope section. In any case, the locking device is designed to be structurally and functionally completely separate from the damping arrangement, so that undesired interactions between the locking device and the damping arrangement are excluded.
Vorzugsweise kann das Schiebetür-Element um eine Vertikalachse schwenkbar an dem Laufwagen befestigt sein, so dass das Schiebetür-Element in der Schiebefunktions- Schließposition schwenkbar ist. Um diese Schwenkbarkeit zu ermöglichen, ist das freie Kolbenstangen-Ende mit einem Schwenkgelenk koaxial zu der Schiebetür-Schwenkachse schwenkbar an dem Schrankkörper bzw. dem vertikalen Rahmenpfosten befestigt.The sliding door element can preferably be fastened to the carriage so that it can pivot about a vertical axis, so that the sliding door element can be pivoted in the sliding function closed position. In order to enable this pivotability, the free end of the piston rod is pivotally fastened to the cabinet body or the vertical frame post with a pivot joint coaxial to the sliding door pivot axis.
