  • the auxiliary device 20 may then also be provided to recognize the desire to open the drawer.
  • the auxiliary device 20 is designed to recognize the desire of a person to open this drawer as soon as the person pulls or pushes on the closed drawer. Thereafter, the actuator 22 automatically moves the plunger 21 from its retracted position to its extended position. During this movement, the plunger 21 pushes the drawer at least as far from the coolable interior 4, that a magnetic seal of the drawer detaches from the body 2, so that the person can easily open the drawer completely.

  2. Appareil frigorifique ménager selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que le capteur de pression atmosphérique présente une bague d'espacement (49) qui est agencée entre le composant planaire (39) et le film électriquement conducteur (40).
  3. Appareil frigorifique ménager selon la revendication 1 ou 2, caractérisé en ce que le capteur de pression atmosphérique (31, 31a) présente un circuit imprimé (36) muni d'une surface (42) et le composant planaire (39) est agencé sur la surface (42).
  4. Appareil frigorifique ménager selon la revendication 3, caractérisé en ce que le composant planaire (39) est agencé dans un renfoncement (43) de la surface (42).
  5. Appareil frigorifique ménager selon la revendication 3 ou 4, caractérisé en ce que seul le composant planaire (39) est agencé sur le circuit imprimé (36).
  6. Procédé de fonctionnement d'un appareil frigorifique ménager (1) selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 5, comprenant les étapes ci-dessous consistant à :
    - déterminer une valeur ou une modification de la au moins une grandeur électrique de l'élément électrique (37) au moyen du dispositif d'évaluation (35), dans lequel la au moins une grandeur électrique se modifie en raison d'une modification au moins partielle de l'espacement entre le film électriquement conducteur (10) et le composant planaire (39) induite par une modification de la pression atmosphérique résultant d'une traction ou d'une poussée au niveau du battant de porte (5) fermé ou au niveau du tiroir fermé,
    - évaluer la valeur déterminée ou la modification déterminée de la au moins une grandeur électrique au moyen du dispositif d'évaluation (35), et
    - en fonction de l'évaluation, activer le dispositif auxiliaire (20) afin que celui-ci ouvre au moins partiellement le battant de porte (5) fermé ou le tiroir fermé.
