Description

The invention relates to a shelf for dividing a Kühlgutlagerraumes a household refrigeration appliance with a Kühlgutträgerplatte, a first carrier bar and a second carrier bar, wherein the Kühlgutträgerplatte is pivotally mounted relative to the carrier strips and the Kühlgutträgerplatte in a horizontal position of use for holding refrigerated goods and in a horizontal Use position pivoted Verstaulage to cancel the subdivision is formed. The invention also relates to a household refrigerator with at least one shelf.

Domestic refrigerators, such as refrigerators or fridge-freezers, are usually cabinet-shaped devices, which keep a temperature in their interior, the Kühlgutlagerraum, independently low. Thus, refrigerated goods, such as food or medicine, can be stored refrigerated in the refrigerated goods storage room. For dividing the Kühlgutlagerraumes into several separate compartments, the household refrigerators usually several shelves. It is already known from the prior art to make a shelf so flexible that the subjects can also be reunited, for example, to create space for hochformatiges refrigerated goods. The DE 10 2012 221 801 A1 shows, for example, a household refrigerator with such a flexible shelf. This has a front Kühlgutlagerplatte and a rear Kühlgutlagerplatte, wherein the two Kühlgutlagerplatten are mounted to each other adjustable by means of two support strips. In a first position of the front Kühlgutlagerplatte the front Kühlgutlagerplatte and the rear Kühlgutlagerplatte form a continuous storage area for refrigerated goods on the same level. In a second position of the front Kühlgutlagerplatte, however, overlaps the front Kühlgutlagerplatte with the rear Kühlgutlagerplatte. As a result, the subdivision is lifted in the front region of the refrigerated goods storage room. In order to cancel the subdivision in a rear area of the refrigerated goods storage room, the two Kühlgutlagerplatten can be folded together in a vertical position.

Also the DE 10 2010 029 426 A1 shows a refrigerator with a tray having two storage parts, wherein a first storage part is pivotable and a second storage part is movable relative to the first storage part. Likewise is from the EP 2 549 212 A2 a refrigerator with a tray known, which is slidably and rotatably mounted.

From the prior art, however, there is the disadvantage that the vertically positioned, swung-out Kühlgutlagerplatten or shelves are usually based only on an inner rear wall of the household refrigerator. However, this is not customer-friendly, since, for example, by a slight vibration, a misplaced refrigerator or not fully erected Kühlgutlagerplatte the risk that the Kühlgutlagerplatte tilts forward, falls to the ground and possibly breaks. As a result, for example, there is a risk of injury to the customer. In addition, an air circulation within the Kühlgutlagerraumes is changed by the concern of Kühlgutträgerplatte to the inner rear wall of the household refrigerator.

It is an object of the present invention to make a shelf for a household refrigeration particularly flexible and at the same time safe.

This object is achieved by a shelf and by a household refrigerator with the features of the independent claims.

An inventive shelf is used to divide a Kühlgutlagerraumes a household refrigeration appliance with a Kühlgutträgerplatte, a first carrier bar and a second carrier bar, wherein the Kühlgutträgerplatte is pivotally mounted on the carrier strips relative to the carrier strips and the Kühlgutträgerplatte in a horizontal position of use for holding refrigerated goods and in a opposite the horizontal position of use pivoted Verstaulage is designed to cancel the subdivision. In addition, at least one of the carrier strips has a first latching element and the refrigerated goods carrier plate has a second latching element, wherein the first latching element and the second latching element are latched together in the stowage position.

To hold the Kühlgutträgerplatte Kühlgutträgerplatte can be introduced, for example, on two opposite side edges of the Kühlgutträgerplatte in, for example, rail-like configured, carrier strips and held there in the horizontal position of use or use position. In this horizontal position of use, the Kühlgutlagerraum is divided into two separate compartments by the intended in the refrigerated goods storage room of the household refrigerator arranged shelf. In the horizontal position of use of the Kühlgutlagerplatte refrigerated goods can be parked on the Kühlgutträgerplatte the shelf and held there.

In order to pivot the Kühlgutträgerplatte relative to the carrier strips from the use position in the stowage position or stowage, for example, guides may be provided on the carrier strips, to which the Kühlgutträgerplatte is pivotally mounted. In particular, when pivoting the refrigerated goods carrier plate, a front edge of the refrigerated goods carrier plate is raised relative to a rear edge facing an inner rear wall of the household refrigerating appliance and guided in the direction of the inner rear wall. In other words, the refrigerated goods carrier plate is at least partially folded upwards within the Kühlgutlagerraumes. In the stowage the subdivision of Kühlgutlagerraumes is canceled in the separate compartments again. Thus, for example, space for vertical refrigerated goods can be created.

In order to hold the chilled goods now stable in the stowage or fix, at least one of the support strips has the first latching element and the Kühlgutträgerplatte has the second Verrastungselement. In the stowage, especially only in the stowage, the two Verrastungselemente are locked together. The latching is in particular a joint connection, which prevents tilting of the Kühlgutträgerplatte from the pivoted Verstaulage back into the horizontal position of use, for example, a vibration, and which, for example, by applying a force by a person, is releasable again.

The refrigerated goods carrier plate of the shelf according to the invention can thus be arranged flexibly within the Kühlgutlagerraumes and thereby safely in their final positions, in particular the stowage position, are held. This can be prevented that the Kühlgutträgerplatte, for example, in a vibration of the household refrigerator, from the storage position tilts back and is destroyed, for example. Thus, an end user a particularly safe and flexible handling of the household refrigerator is possible.

Preferably, one of the latching elements is designed as a latching element and another of the latching elements as a snap element, wherein the latching element and the snap element are latched together to form a snap connection in the stowed position. The snap element behaves like a spring or a resiliently resetting component, which is arranged on the carrier strip or the Kühlgutträgerplatte. When pivoting the Kühlgutträgerplatte a so-called joining force is exerted on the snap element, so that the snap element yields under the load caused by the joining force. At the latest when reaching the Verstaulage the snap element is relieved again, returns to its original shape and locked there with the locking element.

To release the snap connection can be applied to the snap element in a pivoting back of the Kühlgutträgerplatte of the stowage in the operating position a so-called release force. By means of the release force, which is in particular greater than the joining force, the snap element gives in turn. In order for a connection between the snap element and the locking element is separated and the Kühlgutträgerplatte can be fully swung back into the position of use and positioned there to hold refrigerated goods. The joining force and the release force, and thus a fixing strength of the refrigerated goods carrier plate in the stowage position, can be specified particularly easily by a geometry or a shape of the snap element.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the Kühlgutträgerplatte the locking element in the form of an opening and the carrier bar the snap element in the form of a spring-mounted pin member, wherein the pin member is disposed in the stowed position of the Kühlgutträgerplatte in the opening. In particular, the pin element is arranged in the horizontal position of use outside the opening. The opening may be arranged, for example, on at least one of the side edges of the refrigerated goods carrier plate. The snap-action element formed as a spring-mounted pin element can, for example, be arranged on at least one of the carrier strips such that the pin member protrudes in the direction of the side edge of the Kühlgutträgerplatte having the opening. When swinging or tilting the Kühlgutträgerplatte from the use position in the stowage the Kühlgutträgerplatte exerts the load on the pin element, so that it is deflected against the side edge having the opening. The load on the pin element is only canceled when the opening is arranged in alignment with the pin element, that the pin element can return through the opening again in the direction of the side edge having the opening and stay there. The arranged in the opening pin element thus forms the snap connection. The pin element blocks further tilting or tilting back of the refrigerated goods carrier plate. Such configured latching elements can be particularly space-saving attached to the Kühlgutträgerplatte and the support bars.

Preferably, the opening of the Kühlgutträgerplatte in the form of a slot or a groove for guiding a rotation axis of the Kühlgutträgerplatte and for receiving the pin member is formed in the stowed position. The long sides of the oblong hole extend parallel to the side edges of the Kühlgutträgerplatte. By means of the elongated hole, the axis of rotation, which is formed, for example, as a metal wire or integral with the carrier power, spaced from the rear edge of the Kühlgutträgerplatte be arranged. Thus, when tilting the Kühlgutträgerplatte the front edge of the Kühlgutträgerplatte is raised while the rear edge of the Kühlgutträgerplatte is lowered. As a result, the refrigerated goods carrier plate is lowered in the stowed position by a length of the elongated hole with respect to the carrier strips. This, the axis of rotation leading slot additionally forms the locking element for the formed as a pin element snap element. The shelf is thus particularly simple, since no additional components must be provided as locking elements.

It can be provided that the slot for removing the Kühlgutträgerplatte from the support strips and thus for removing the Kühlgutträgerplatte from the household cooling unit is designed to be open on one side. The opening of the oblong hole is arranged in particular at the rear edge of the refrigerated goods carrier plate. Thus, the Kühlgutträgerplatte be separated from the carrier bars by the rotation axis is led out over the open side of the elongated hole from the slot. Such a design Shelf is very user-friendly, since the Kühlgutträgerplatte, for example, for cleaning the Kühlgutträgerplatte, particularly little effort and can be easily removed from the household refrigerator.

A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the snap element is arranged in the form of a snap hook on at least one of the carrier strips and the latching element is arranged on the Kühlgutträgerplatte, wherein the snap hook and the locking element in the region of a corner transition, which by a transition between one of Carrier strips and a rear edge of the refrigerated goods carrier plate is formed, are arranged. The snap hook may have a Schnapphakenkopf, which is deflected when tilting the Kühlgutträgerplatte from a rest position. As soon as the refrigerated goods carrier plate is in the stowed position, the snap-action bottle head springs back into the rest position and securely holds the refrigerated goods carrier plate in the stowage position. According to this embodiment, the axis of rotation is the rear edge of the refrigerated goods carrier plate. The refrigerated goods carrier plate is thus set up when swinging.

Preferably, the locking element is configured as a perpendicular to the Kühlgutträgerplatte, arranged on the rear edge of the Kühlgutträgerplatte bar. When swinging the Kühlgutträgerplatte the bar exerts a burden on the snap hook, through which the Schnapphakenkopf is deflected from the rest position. In the stowed position, the snap hook for forming the snap connection can clamp the strip between the snap hook head and the respective carrier strip and thus securely fix the refrigerated goods carrier plate in the stowage position.

An embodiment of the invention provides that the Kühlgutträgerplatte is deflected in the storage position relative to the horizontal position of use by at least 90 °. In other words, the Kühlgutträgerplatte is in a vertical stowage when the Kühlgutträgerplatte is deflected relative to the horizontal position of use by exactly 90 °. However, it can also be provided that the refrigerated goods carrier plate is tilted in the direction of the inner rear wall of the household refrigerating appliance and is thus deflected by more than 90 ° relative to the horizontal operating position. Thus, in the Stowage of Kühlgutträgerplatte a particularly large volume for arranging hochformatigem refrigerated goods are provided in Kühlgutlagerraum.

Particularly preferably, a front edge of the refrigerated goods carrier plate is held in the storage position at a distance from an inner rear wall of the household refrigerating appliance. In other words, this means that a minimum distance is provided between the front edge of the refrigerated goods carrier plate and the inner rear wall, so that the Kühlgutträgerplatte does not lean against the inner rear wall of the household refrigerator. This results in the advantage that an air circulation within the Kühlgutlagerraumes is not affected or hindered.

According to one embodiment, the refrigerated goods carrier plate is formed by a base plate with two holding arms, by which the base plate is held on opposite side edges of the base plate, wherein in each case a holding arm is pivotally mounted on one of the carrier strips and wherein the respective pivotally mounted on the carrier bar holding arm, the second latching element having. The base plate may for example be designed as a glass plate, which is bordered on two opposite side edges of the support arms and thereby held. The retaining arms can be pivotably mounted, for example, via a hinge or a rotary joint on the carrier strips. The second latching element is arranged on at least one of the support arms, wherein the second latching element may be formed integrally with the support arm, for example. If the latching element is designed, for example, as the bar which is perpendicular to the refrigerated goods carrier plate, the bar can be connected to the holding arms, for example, and thus form a U-shaped enclosure for the baseplate.

It is provided that the shelf has another Kühlgutträgerplatte, which forms in a first position with the horizontally mounted Kühlgutträgerplatte a contiguous horizontal Kühlgutträgerplattenbereich. The holding arms are adapted to hold the further Kühlgutträgerplatte in a second position, in which the further Kühlgutträgerplatte is at least partially disposed below the Kühlgutträgerplatte. In the second position of the further Kühlgutträgerplatte the two Kühlgutträgerplatten are jointly pivotable relative to the carrier strips. The refrigerated goods carrier plate and the further refrigerated goods carrier plate are therefore stored against each other adjustable. In the first position, the two Kühlgutträgerplatten form the contiguous Kühlgutträgerplattenbereich and divide the Kühlgutlageraum along a depth of the Kühlgutlagerraumes completely. The Kühlgutträgerplatte is the rear Kühlgutträgerplatte and the other Kühlgutträgerplatte is the front Kühlgutträgerplatte. For example, to cancel the subdivision only in a front region of the refrigerated goods storage room, the front Kühlgutträgerplatte can be pushed, for example by means of a rail in the support arms under the rear Kühlgutträgerplatte so that the rear Kühlgutträgerplatte completely overlaps the front Kühlgutträgerplatte. To completely cancel the subdivision of the Kühlgutlagerraumes the two Kühlgutträgerplatten can be pivoted together in the stowage position and fixed there by means of Verrastungselemente in the second position of the other Kühlgutträgerplatte. The shelf is therefore designed to be particularly flexible.

The invention also relates to a household refrigerator with at least one shelf according to the invention. The household refrigerator is designed in particular as a refrigerator or a fridge-freezer combination.
