The DE 10 2013 012232 A1 discloses a lever handle for a household refrigeration appliance, the lever handle having at least one handle part, at least one bearing part and at least one slide which is displaceable relative to the bearing part.

The object of the invention is, in particular, to provide a generic household appliance device with a reduced complexity. The object is achieved by the characterizing features of patent claim 1, while advantageous refinements and developments of the invention can be found in the subclaims.

The invention is based on a household appliance device, in particular a domestic refrigeration device, with a device closure element which is provided to cover, in particular to close, an access opening to a usable space, with at least one handle element which is particularly intended to, in at least one application state, the device closure element, in particular by means of a force exerted by an operator, and with a bearing axis, which is provided to slidably support the grip element.

It is proposed that the bearing axis have at least one first fixing element, which is intended to fix the handle element in at least one displacement position, in particular locking position, the bearing axis being an element which is intended to open the handle element for opening the device locking element pivotally mounted about an axis of rotation, the bearing axis slidably supporting the grip element along the axis of rotation.

The bearing axis advantageously has at least two fixing elements, which are advantageously at least substantially identical to one another and which are provided for the grip element in at least one displacement position, in particular locking position, and advantageously in at least two displacement positions, advantageously opposite the device locking element, in particular horizontally. especially locking positions. The phrase "at least essentially identical" is intended in particular, apart from

Manufacturing tolerances are understood identically. “Provided” is to be understood in particular to be specially designed and / or equipped. The fact that an object is provided for a specific function should in particular be understood to mean that the object fulfills and / or executes this specific function in at least one application and / or operating state.

In this context, a “household appliance device” is to be understood in particular to mean at least a part, in particular a subassembly, of a household appliance, in particular a household refrigeration appliance. In particular, the household appliance device can also comprise the entire household appliance, in particular the entire household refrigerator. A household appliance designed as a household refrigerator is particularly preferably designed as a refrigerator and / or freezer, such as in particular as a refrigerator, freezer, freezer, freezer, fridge-freezer and / or wine storage cabinet. In particular, the household appliance device comprises a device body, which in particular defines an interior, preferably at least one useful space, and in particular has the access opening. The device locking element can in particular be designed as a device flap and / or preferably as a device door and in particular pivotable about at least one pivot axis, in particular about a horizontal axis and / or preferably about a vertical axis, in particular with respect to an installation position and / or an installation position, in particular relative to the device body, be stored. The device locking element is preferably designed as an inner door and particularly preferably as a freezer compartment door, and in particular is arranged entirely within the household appliance. Furthermore, the device closure element is preferably designed to be stopable on both sides and in particular has at least two, advantageously exactly two, stop sides, one stop side of the device closure element being advantageously freely selectable. At least one fixed displacement position and / or a locking position of the grip element is preferably arranged in the vicinity of one of the stop sides. Particularly preferably, at least one fixed displacement position and / or a locking position of the handle element is arranged on each stop side of the device closure element. A “close range” is to be understood in particular as a spatial area which is formed from points which are less than a third, preferably less than a quarter, preferably less than a sixth and particularly preferably less than a tenth of a maximum The extension length of the device closure element is distant from a reference point and / or a reference component and / or each has a distance of at most 10 cm, preferably at most 5 cm and particularly preferably of at most 2 cm from a reference point and / or a reference component.

A “bearing axis” is to be understood in particular as an element which is advantageously at least substantially rod-shaped, rod-shaped and / or cylindrical, advantageously circular-cylindrical, which is arranged in particular on the device closure element and is in particular intended to support the handle element, in particular displaceably and advantageously swiveling. In particular, the bearing axis, in particular a main direction of extent of the bearing axis, defines an axis of rotation arranged vertically and / or advantageously horizontally. In particular, the handle element is slidably mounted along the axis of rotation. The bearing axis is particularly preferably provided for mounting the grip element in such a way that the grip element, advantageously without dismantling, from at least one first fixed displacement position and / or locking position on a first stop side of the device locking element, into at least one second fixed displacement position and / or locking position on one second stop side of the device closure element is displaceable. An “axis of rotation” is to be understood in particular to mean a straight line about which an object is rotated and / or rotated in at least one operating state. A "main direction of extension" of an object is to be understood in particular as a direction which is parallel to a longest edge of a smallest geometric cuboid which just just completely surrounds the object. In addition, the handle element is in particular intended to open and / or to release the device locking element, advantageously by means of a pivoting movement, in particular about the axis of rotation, as a result of which the device locking element can be moved in particular from a closed position into an open position. For this purpose, the grip element has in particular at least one operative connection with the device closure element, in particular an opening mechanism of the device closure element.

Furthermore, the term “fix” should be understood to mean, in particular, locking and / or at least temporarily fixing, so that in particular for releasing the fixation at least one force which is in particular substantially greater than a pure one Weight force, friction force and / or tangential force of the fixed object is, must be used and / or is required. The phrase "significantly larger" is to be understood in particular to be at least 5% larger, advantageously at least 10% larger and particularly preferably at least 15% larger. In particular, a household appliance device can also have a plurality of appliance corpora, a plurality of appliance closure elements, a plurality of bearing axes and / or a plurality of handle elements. With this configuration, a generic household appliance device with a reduced complexity can be provided. In particular, stability can be increased, flexibility improved and / or operation simplified. In addition, an efficiency, in particular a component efficiency and / or a space efficiency, can be improved, which can advantageously reduce costs. In addition, a change of stop of the device locking element can advantageously be simplified, which can advantageously increase ease of use. Furthermore, a particularly robust household appliance device can be provided and thus a service life and / or a fatigue strength can be increased.

The first fixing element is preferably arranged in a first side region of the bearing axis with respect to a main direction of extent of the bearing axis. A “side region of the bearing axis” is to be understood in particular to mean a near region of a side, in particular a side facing the device body, an end side and / or a top side of the bearing axis. In this way, in particular a space requirement and / or a complexity can be reduced.

The first fixing element could be designed, for example, as a bayonet locking element, as a fastening bolt and / or as a pin locking element. However, the first fixing element is advantageously designed as a latching element, as a result of which a particularly simple, quick and intuitive fixing can be achieved. In this context, a “latching element” is to be understood in particular as a latching hook, a latching web, a latching recess and / or a latching edge. The at least one fixing element is advantageously provided for automatically and / or automatically engaging in the at least one displacement position, in particular the locking position, in particular without operator intervention.

It is also proposed that the first fixing element be designed to be self-releasing and that the grip element be released from the fixed displacement position and / or locking position when a limiting tensile force exerted on the grip element is exceeded, in particular by an operator, in particular in the direction of the axis of rotation, in particular automatically and in particular non-destructively . In particular, the limit tensile force is significantly greater than a pure weight force, friction force and / or tangential force of the grip element. In this way, in particular a time efficiency can be increased and an advantageously simple loosening of the fixing element can be achieved.

The bearing axis preferably has at least a second, in particular the previously mentioned, in particular at least substantially identical to the first fixing element, fixing element, which with respect to a main direction of extension of the bearing axis at least substantially on a second side region of the bearing axis opposite the first fixing element and / or one of the first fixing element at least substantially opposite side of the bearing axis is arranged. In this way, a particularly simple change of stop can be achieved in particular.

In one embodiment of the invention, it is proposed that the bearing axis is axially fixed to the grip element and is advantageously connected in one piece to the grip element, and that the device closure element has at least one first further fixing element corresponding to the first fixing element. The fact that two objects are “axially firmly connected to one another” should in particular be understood to mean that a relative position and / or positioning of the objects remains unchanged at least when one of the objects moves, in particular in the direction of the axis of rotation. The first fixing element is advantageously designed as a locking element, in particular as a locking hook, and the first further fixing element is designed as a, in particular corresponding locking element, in particular as a locking bar. In addition, the device locking element preferably has at least one second fixing element corresponding to the second fixing element. The second fixing element is advantageously designed as a locking element, in particular as a locking hook, and the second further fixing element is designed as a, in particular corresponding locking element, in particular as a locking web. In this context, “in one piece” is to be understood to mean in particular at least integrally connected. The bond can For example, by an adhesive process, a gating process, a welding process, a soldering process and / or another process that seems useful to a person skilled in the art. It should advantageously be understood as being formed in one piece, but in one piece. This one piece is preferably produced from a single blank and / or a casting, particularly preferably in an injection molding process, in particular a single and / or multi-component injection molding process. This can in particular simplify manufacture.

Alternatively, it is proposed that the bearing axis is axially fixed to the device locking element and is advantageously connected in one piece to the device locking element and that the grip element has at least one first further fixing element corresponding to the first fixing element. The first fixing element is advantageously designed as a locking element, in particular as a locking edge, and the first further fixing element is designed as a, in particular corresponding locking element, in particular as a locking hook. In addition, the grip element preferably has at least one second further fixing element corresponding to the second fixing element. The second fixing element is advantageously designed as a locking element, in particular as a locking edge, and the second further fixing element is designed as a, in particular corresponding locking element, in particular as a locking hook. In this way, in particular assembly and / or coupling of the grip element can be simplified.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is proposed that a fixing element of the fixing elements arranged on the handle element, in particular comprising a set of fixing elements, at least comprise the first fixing element, the second fixing element, the first further fixing element and the second further fixing element, at least in the fixed displacement position and / or locking position, in particular freely, about an axis of rotation defined by the bearing axis, in particular the previously mentioned axis of rotation, is rotatable, in particular when the handle element rotates about the axis of rotation. If the bearing axis is connected to the handle element, at least the first fixing element and advantageously the second fixing element can be rotated, in particular freely, at least in the fixed displacement position and / or locking position. If the bearing axis is connected to the device closure element, at least the first further fixing element and advantageously the second further fixing element can be rotated, in particular freely, at least in the fixed displacement position and / or locking position.

In this way, in particular simple opening, in particular by means of a pivoting movement, can be achieved.

It is further proposed that a fixing element of the fixing elements arranged on the device closure element, in particular from a set of fixing elements, at least comprising the first fixing element, the second fixing element, the first further fixing element and the second further fixing element, is immovable at least relative to the device closure element. If the bearing axis is connected to the handle element, at least the first further fixing element and advantageously the second further fixing element is at least immovable relative to the device locking element. If the bearing axis is connected to the device locking element, at least the first fixing element and advantageously the second fixing element is at least immovable relative to the device locking element. In particular, this can improve stability.

The household appliance device is not intended to be limited to the application and embodiment described above. In particular, the household appliance device can have a number that differs from a number of individual elements, components and units specified here in order to fulfill a function described here.

Figure 1 shows a part of an exemplary household appliance 28a designed as a household refrigerator in a perspective front view. In the present case, the household appliance 28a is designed as a free-standing appliance. Accordingly, the household appliance 28a is designed to be free-standing. In addition, the household appliance 28a is designed as a combined fridge-freezer. Alternatively, however, it is also conceivable to design a household appliance as another household refrigeration appliance and / or as a built-in appliance, which can be installed in household furniture, in particular in an assembled state.

Household appliance 28a further includes a household appliance device. The household appliance device is provided in a known manner to cool food and other refrigerated goods. For this purpose, the household appliance device comprises an appliance body 30a. The device body 30a defines an interior. In the present case, the interior has at least one useful space 12a. The usable space 12a has an access opening. The usable space 12a is designed as a freezer space.

In addition, the household appliance device comprises at least one appliance locking element 10a. The device locking element 10a is designed as a device door. The device closure element 10a is provided to close the access opening of the usable space 12a. In the present case, the device locking element 10a is designed as a freezer compartment door and is arranged entirely within the household appliance 28a. The device closure element 10a can also be struck on both sides formed and for this purpose has two stop sides 36a, 38a. The stop sides 36a, 38a are aligned vertically in an assembled state. When the device locking element 10a is installed, a stop side 36a, 38a of the device locking element 10a can be freely selected. The device locking element 10a is pivotally mounted about a pivot axis 32a or about a pivot axis 34a depending on a selected stop side 36a, 38a. The pivot axes 32a, 34a are aligned vertically. In addition, the entire device body 30a can be closed by means of a further device lock element, not shown, in particular which can be attached to the front. The further device locking element is designed as an outer door. The further device closure element thus covers the device closure element 10a in a closed state. Alternatively, it is conceivable that a device locking element according to the invention can also be designed as a device locking element that differs from a freezer compartment door, such as, for example, as a device flap and / or external door. In addition, a stop side and / or a pivot axis could be formed horizontally. A household appliance device could also comprise a plurality of appliance locking elements and / or utility rooms.

Furthermore, the household appliance device has a handle element 14a (cf. in particular Figures 2 and 3 ). The grip element 14a is arranged on the device closure element 10a. The grip element 14a is arranged on an underside and / or on a side of the device closure element 10a facing a standing area of the household appliance 28a. In the present case, the grip element 14a is arranged on a lower flange of the device closure element 10a. The grip element 14a at least partially encompasses the underside of the device closure element 10a and extends in particular from a rear side of the device closure element 10a to the front side of the device closure element 10a. The grip element 14a is provided to open the device closure element 10a in at least one application state by means of a force exerted by an operator. Here, the grip element 14a is pivotally mounted and is intended to open the device locking element 10a by means of a pivoting movement, as a result of which the device locking element 10a can be moved from a closed position to an open position. For this purpose, the grip element 14a has a connection (not shown in more detail) with an opening mechanism of the device closure element 10a. In addition, the grip element 14a is slidably mounted. The grip element 14a can be displaced in the horizontal direction. In the present case, the handle element 14a can be moved by an operator between the two stop sides 36a, 38a of the device locking element 10a.

For this purpose, the household appliance device comprises a bearing axis 16a (cf. in particular Figures 4 and 5 ). The bearing axis 16a is designed as a bearing rod. In the present case, the bearing axis 16a is circular cylindrical. A main extension length of the bearing axis 16a is at least substantially identical to a main extension length of the grip element 14a. In addition, the main extension length of the bearing axis 16a corresponds to between a quarter and a half of a total main extension length of the device closure element 10a. The bearing axis 16a is arranged horizontally in an assembled state. A main direction of extent of the bearing axis 16a defines an, in particular horizontally arranged, axis of rotation 26a. The axis of rotation 26a also extends through a geometric center of the bearing axis 16a. The bearing axis 16a is provided for movably supporting the grip element 14a. In the present case, the bearing axis 16a slidably supports the grip element 14a along the axis of rotation 26a and pivotably about the axis of rotation 26a. In addition, the bearing axis 16a and the grip element 14a are formed in one piece. Accordingly, the bearing axis 16a is axially fixed to the grip element 14a. Alternatively, it is conceivable to design a bearing axis and a grip element in several parts and to connect them to one another, for example, by means of a positive, non-positive and / or material connection.

Furthermore, the bearing axis 16a is connected to the device closure element 10a in an assembled state. In the present case, the bearing axis 16a is detachably connected to the device locking element 10a. The bearing axis 16a is connected to the device closure element 10a by means of a snap-in connection. For this purpose, the device locking element 10a comprises a plurality of grip locking elements 40a, which are offset in the horizontal direction and / or in the main direction of extension of the device locking element 10a, in the present case in particular locking hooks and / or locking eyes, which are provided in particular for locking with the bearing axis 16a. The latching connection is designed such that the bearing axis 16a is movable relative to the device locking element 10a. In the present case, the bearing axis is 16a together with the handle element 14a in the direction of the axis of rotation 26a and thus in particular relative to the device closure element 10a. The bearing axis 16a thus serves as a guide rail for the grip element 14a.

In order to fix and / or lock the bearing axis 16a and thus the handle element 14a in a predetermined and / or predeterminable displacement position, the bearing axis 16a also has a plurality of fixing elements 18a, 20a. In the present case, the bearing axis 16a has two fixing elements 18a, 20a. The fixing elements 18a, 20a are at least essentially identical to one another. The fixing elements 18a, 20a are designed as locking elements. In the present case, the fixing elements 18a, 20a are designed as latching hooks. The fixing elements 18a, 20a are arranged at least essentially in opposite side regions of the bearing axis 16a with respect to the main direction of extent of the bearing axis 16a. A first fixing element 18a of the fixing elements 18a, 20a is arranged on a first side of the bearing axis 16a with respect to the main direction of extent of the bearing axis 16a. The first fixing element 18a is provided to fix the bearing axis 16a and / or the grip element 14a in a vicinity of the first stop side 36a. A second fixing element 20a of the fixing elements 18a, 20a is arranged on a second side of the bearing axis 16a with respect to the main direction of extent of the bearing axis 16a. The second fixing element 20a is provided to fix the bearing axis 16a and / or the grip element 14a in a vicinity of the second stop side 38a. The fixing elements 18a, 20a are provided to fix the bearing axis 16a and / or the grip element 14a in horizontally opposite displacement positions.

For this purpose, the device closure element 10a has at least one further fixing element 22a. In the present case, the device closure element 10a has at least one first further fixing element 22a corresponding to the first fixing element 18a and at least one second further fixing element (not shown) corresponding to the second fixing element 20a (cf. Figures 6 and 7 ). The further fixing elements 22a are at least essentially identical to one another. The further fixing elements 22a are designed as locking elements. In the present case, the further fixing elements 22a are designed as locking webs. The further fixing elements 22a are immovable relative to the device closure element 10a. The first further fixing element 22a is in the vicinity of the first stop side 36a arranged. The second further fixing element is arranged in the vicinity of the second stop side 38a. The first further fixing element 22a is provided for latching with the first fixing element 18a in at least one first operating state, in particular in a fixed displacement position and / or a locking position (cf. Figure 7 ). The second further fixing element is intended to be latched to the second fixing element 20a in at least one second operating state. In the fixed displacement position and / or the locking position, the fixing elements 18a, 20a are freely rotatable about the axis of rotation 26a defined by the bearing axis 16a, whereby in particular an advantageously simple rotary movement of the handle element 14a about the axis of rotation 26a can be achieved.

The bearing axis 16a is also provided to mount the grip element 14a in such a way that the grip element 14a can be moved without disassembly from a first fixed displacement position on the first stop side 36a to a second fixed displacement position on the second stop side 38a. The fixing elements 18a, 20a are provided for automatically and / or automatically engaging in the at least one displacement position. For this purpose, the fixing elements 18a, 20a and / or the further fixing elements 20a each have at least one, in particular ramp-like, chamfer, which is particularly intended to simplify locking. In addition, the fixing elements 18a, 20a are designed to be self-triggering. For this purpose, the fixing elements 18a, 20a and / or the further fixing elements 20a each have at least one, in particular a ramp-like, additional starting slope, in particular arranged horizontally opposite one another, which in particular is intended to simplify releasing the latching. In this case, the grip element 14a automatically releases from the fixed displacement position when a limit pull force exerted on the grip element 14a in the direction of the axis of rotation 26a is exceeded.

In the present case, the grip element 14a and an opening mechanism of the device closure element 10a are configured such that the stop side 36a, 38a and / or the pivot axis 32a, 34a of the device closure element 10a changes depending on a positioning of the grip element 14a. If the grip element 14a is in the fixed displacement position on the first stop side 36a, the grip element 14a is operatively connected to the opening mechanism such that a The pivot axis of the device locking element 10a corresponds to the pivot axis 34a. If the grip element 14a is in the fixed displacement position on the second stop side 38a, the grip element 14a is operatively connected to the opening mechanism such that a pivot axis of the device locking element 10a corresponds to the pivot axis 32a. The currently used pivot axis 32a, 34a of the device closure element 10a and the fixed handle element 14a are therefore always arranged on opposite sides, in particular when viewed in the direction of the axis of rotation 26a. As a result, a, in particular dismantling-free, stop change of the device closure element 10a can be achieved in a simple manner without additional assembly effort.

Alternatively, it is conceivable that a bearing axis has a plurality of fixing elements, in particular at least two, at least three and / or at least four fixing elements, in particular on a first side and / or a second side of the bearing axis. It is also conceivable to dispense with a second fixing element and / or a second further fixing element. In this case, a device locking element could only be designed to be hinged on one side and / or a fixing element could only be provided to simplify assembly and / or disassembly of the device locking element. It is also conceivable to fix a grip element by means of a fixing element, in particular a bearing axis, in a central region of a device closure element, so that the grip element can in particular be placed at least essentially freely, which advantageously enables a high level of user friendliness to be achieved.

In the Figure 8 Another embodiment of the invention is shown. The following description and the drawing are essentially limited to the differences between the exemplary embodiments, with respect to components with the same designation, in particular with respect to components with the same reference numerals, in principle also to the drawing and / or the description of the other exemplary embodiment, in particular the Figures 1 to 7 , can be referenced. In order to distinguish the exemplary embodiments, the letter a is the reference symbol of the exemplary embodiment in FIGS Figures 1 to 7 adjusted. In the embodiment of the Figure 8 the letter a is replaced by the letter b.

The further embodiment of the Figure 8 differs from the previous exemplary embodiment at least essentially by an arrangement of a bearing axis 16b of a household appliance device.

In the present case, the bearing axis 16b and a device locking element 10b are formed in one piece. Accordingly, the bearing axis 16b is axially fixed to the device closure element 10b. A main extension length of the bearing axis 16b is at least substantially identical to a main extension length of the device closure element 10b. In addition, a main extension length of a grip element 14b corresponds to between a quarter and a half of a total main extension length of the bearing axis 16b and / or the device closure element 10b. In an assembled state, the grip element 14b is connected to the bearing axis 16b. The grip element 14b is detachably connected to the bearing axis 16b. The grip element 14b is connected to the bearing axis 16b by means of a latching connection. For this purpose, the grip element 14b comprises a plurality of grip catch elements 40b which are offset in the horizontal direction and / or in the main direction of extent of the grip element 14b, in the present case in particular catch hooks and / or catch eyes, which are provided in particular for latching with the bearing axis 16b. The latching connection is designed such that the grip element 14b is movable relative to the bearing axis 16b and / or the device closure element 10b. In the present case, the grip element 14b can be displaced in the direction of an axis of rotation 26b and thus in particular relative to the device closure element 10b.

Furthermore, the bearing axis 16b has two fixing elements 18b. A first fixing element 18b and a second fixing element (not shown) are designed as locking edges. The fixing elements 18b are immovable relative to the device closure element 10b. In addition, the grip element 14b has at least one further fixing element 22b. In the present case, the grip element 14b has at least one first further fixing element 22b corresponding to the first fixing element 18b and at least one second further fixing element (not shown) corresponding to the second fixing element. The further fixing elements 22b are designed as locking elements, in particular locking hooks. In a fixed displacement position and / or a locking position, the further fixing elements 22b can be freely rotated about the axis of rotation 26b defined by the bearing axis 16b, whereby in particular one advantageously simple rotary movement of the grip element 14b about the axis of rotation 26b can be achieved. Alternatively, it is conceivable to form a bearing axis and a device locking element in several parts and to connect them to one another, for example, by means of a positive, non-positive and / or material connection.
