Definitions

  • the invention relates to a two-door refrigeration appliance, in particular a household refrigerating appliance, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a two-door refrigeration device can be embodied, for example, as a fridge / freezer combination with a lower and an upper appliance door, each of which closes separate refrigerated spaces.
  • a two-door refrigeration device which has at least two in the device vertical direction superposed device doors.
  • a control panel is provided on an upper door closure strip of the lower door, wearing the control and display elements.
  • the upper door skirting limits a filled with thermal insulation foam cavity of the upper door to the top.
  • JP 2000234849 A discloses a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a refrigerator, in which an ergonomically favorable and comfortable operation of the refrigerator is possible.
  • the refrigeration device has at least two device doors arranged one above the other in the device vertical direction, with which cooling chambers of the refrigeration device can each be closed.
  • the operating and display elements are not in the upper door closure strip the lower door, but rather at the upper end of the lower door, on the front of the device lower door. According to the invention, therefore, both the display and the operation directly on the front of the device allows, even with closed doors. In this way, a particularly convenient and ergonomic operation of the refrigerator is ensured from above at the optimum height.
  • control panel can form the front panel of the lower unit door.
  • control panel can be designed with only a small height and extend approximately strip-shaped horizontally in the device side direction.
  • the two stacked in the vertical direction device doors are spaced apart by a separating gap.
  • the separating gap ensures that the paths of movement of the laterally hinged doors do not overlap.
  • Each of the appliance doors can each close a separate refrigerator compartment.
  • the lower door can in a conventional manner have a peripheral edge of the door narrow side, which merges in the Bautiefencardi each edge edges in the, the refrigerator compartment defining door inner side and in the front of the device.
  • the lower door closes at its upper end with an upper, horizontal door narrow side, on which an upper door closure strip is provided. This limits together with a lower door closure strip filled with heat insulating foam cavity of the lower door.
  • the appliance door of a refrigeration appliance can typically be realized as a hollow body which is filled with a heat insulating foam.
  • the hollow body may be constructed of a front door outer wall formed, for example, from stainless steel sheet and a door inner wall, which is for example a deep-drawn plastic circuit board. In between, the space filled with planteisolierschaum cavity is limited.
  • the door outer wall may have in the device side direction angled profile strips which are foam-tight connected to the door inner wall.
  • the stuffed with thermal insulating foam The cavity of the appliance door is also limited at the lower and at the upper door edge with a lower and an upper door closure strip.
  • control panel can be integrated in the same material and in one piece directly in the upper door closure strip of the lower appliance door. In terms of manufacturing technology, however, it is preferred if the control panel and the door closure strip are separate from one another.
  • the control panel may be part of a control electronics housing.
  • the control electronics housing may be detachably mounted on the outer side of the door closure strip. In this way, in a first manufacturing step, the appliance door cavity with the aid of the door closure strips, but still without control electronics housing, initially closed foam tight. Subsequently, in a foaming process, the cavity can be filled with heat insulating foam. Only in a further manufacturing step, the control electronics housing can then be mounted on the door closure strip of the already completed appliance door.
  • the upper door seal strip of the lower door has an upwardly exposed visible surface, in which a recessed mounting recess is provided.
  • the control electronics housing is used.
  • the upper door closing strip in cross section may be designed in approximately step-shaped, with a mounting recess which is open in the direction of the depth direction towards the front.
  • the mounting recess is defined by a mounting floor and by side walls, which can pass at a transitional edge in the exposed top of the door seal strip.
  • the control electronics housing can be used contour-adapted in the mounting recess. This means that the height and depth of the mounting recess corresponds to the housing height and the housing depth.
  • the housing top can be substantially flush with the above-mentioned visible surface of the door closure strip. Accordingly, the housing front wall can go substantially flush in the front of the device.
  • the housing top wall and the housing front wall are separated from each other by the edge formed in the control electronics housing from each other.
  • the control panel is provided here alone on the housing front wall.
  • the control electronics housing can be spaced by lateral offset dimensions of the side, upper door door corners of the lower door, where the door narrow sides converge. With regard to a door stop change, it is advantageous if the control electronics housing is arranged symmetrically with respect to a vertical device center axis. This means that preferably also the two offset dimensions can be identical. In the device side direction laterally outside of the control electronics housing, the front upper peripheral edge of the lower door can be formed directly by the upper door closing strip. In contrast, the peripheral edge in the central region can no longer be formed by the upper door closure strip, but by the control electronics housing itself.
  • the control electronics housing can be mounted in particular detachably on the door closing strip via any interlocking and / or frictional connection.
  • any interlocking and / or frictional connection may be provided on the control electronics housing screw or locking elements, which can be brought with corresponding mating contours in the door closure strip in screw or snap-in connection.
