Definitions

  • the invention relates to a household refrigerating appliance with an opening aid device which is set up to assist in opening a door leaf or pulling out a drawer of the household refrigerating appliance.
  • DE 203 01 951 U1 discloses a household refrigerating appliance comprising a door leaf and a door opening aid.
  • the door opening aid has a motor, an eccentric and a plunger.
  • the eccentric moves the plunger from a retracted position to an extended position in which the plunger pushes the door leaf a gap. After that, the door leaf can be manually opened further. After pressing the door leaf of the eccentric moves the plunger back to its retracted position, so that the door leaf can be manually closed again.
  • WO 2007/009783 A1 discloses another household refrigeration appliance with a door leaf and a door opening aid.
  • the door opening aid comprises drive means both for automatic opening and for automatically closing the door leaf.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a safe-to-use household refrigeration appliance with an opening aid device which is adapted to assist in opening a door panel or pulling out a drawer of the household refrigerator.
  • a domestic refrigerator comprising a thermally insulated inner container which limits a coolable interior for storing food, a refrigeration device for cooling the coolable interior, a relative to the inner container by means of hinges with respect to an axis pivotally mounted door leaf for opening and closing the coolable interior, wherein at least one of the hinges is formed as a self-closing hinge, which is able to automatically close the door leaf to a first opening angle, and an opening aid device, the actuator and at least indirectly by means of the actuator between a first position and a second position reciprocating ram and adapted to allow closing of the door leaf when the ram is in its first position to move the ram from its first position to its second position to the closed door leaf by means of the plunger to to push to a second opening angle, which is smaller than the first opening angle, and to move after reaching the second position immediately or with a time delay automatically the plunger in its first position.
  • the domestic refrigerator according to the invention comprises the heat-insulated inner container which limits the coolable interior.
  • the coolable interior is intended for storing food and is cooled by means of the refrigeration device.
  • This is preferably designed as a refrigerant circuit which is known in principle to the person skilled in the art and is preferably designed such that it cools the coolable interior at least approximately to a predetermined temperature.
  • the coolable interior is intended for storing food.
  • the inner container is thermally insulated, preferably by the household refrigerating appliance, for example, has a heat-insulating insulating foam, which rests in particular on the surface of the inner container facing away from the coolable interior.
  • the domestic refrigeration appliance according to the invention further comprises the door leaf which is pivotably mounted relative to the coolable interior space.
  • the door leaf is pivotally mounted by means of a hinge with respect to a particular vertical axis.
  • At least one of the hinges is formed as a self-closing hinge.
  • Self-closing hinges include a spring which automatically moves the door leaf from an open position to the closed position.
  • the at least one self-closing hinge of the household refrigerating appliance according to the invention is designed to automatically close the door leaf up to the first opening angle, ie if the door leaf is open up to and including this first opening angle and is not held by a person, it closes automatically. If the door leaf is opened further than the first opening angle, then the at least one self-closing hinge does not act on the door leaf to allow the door leaf to be open.
  • the first opening angle is for example a maximum of 45 °, preferably 30 °.
  • the domestic refrigerator according to the invention further comprises the opening aid device. This comprises the actuator, which is designed, for example, as an electric motor, in order to at least indirectly move the plunger of the opening aid device back and forth between the two positions.
  • the opening aid device is preferably an electronic opening aid device.
  • the opening aid device assists in opening the door leaf, in that the push button presses the closed door leaf about the second opening angle when moving from the first position to the second position. After reaching the second position, the plunger moves automatically immediately or with a time delay in its first position and thus enables a closing of the door panel. Since the second opening angle is smaller than the first opening angle, it is possible for the at least one self-closing hinge to automatically close the door leaf pressed up to the second opening angle by means of the ram, if, for example, a person does not want to open the door leaf. This can also be achieved that in a false triggering of the opening aid device, the door leaf does not remain open, but automatically closed again due to the at least one self-closing hinge.
  • the domestic refrigerator according to the invention may also have at least one self-closing drawer, which is at least partially pulled out of the coolable interior and which is set up to a first distance by which the drawer is partially pulled out of the coolable interior, automatically in the coolable interior is able to move into a closed position.
  • the opening aid device is configured to allow the drawer to close when the plunger is in its first position, to move the plunger from its first position to its second position, to move the closed drawer by a second distance by means of the plunger, which is smaller than the first distance to press partially from the coolable interior, and after reaching the second position immediately or with a time delay automatically move the plunger to its first position.
  • a self-closing drawer includes a spring which automatically draws the drawer pulled out of the coolable interior into the coolable interior.
  • the self-closing drawer of the household refrigerator according to the invention is formed, the drawer to the first distance to the drawer partially off the drawer is pulled out to close, ie that when the drawer is pulled up to and including this first distance partially out of the coolable interior and eg is not held by a person automatically closes. If the drawer is pulled further than the first distance out of the coolable interior, then the spring no longer acts on the drawer to allow the drawer to open.
  • the opening aid device supports a pulling out of the drawer from the coolable interior by the plunger pushes the closed drawer in a movement from the first position to the second position by the second distance from the coolable interior out.
  • the plunger automatically moves immediately or with a time delay to its first position and thus allows the drawer to close. Since the second distance is smaller than the first distance, it is possible for the self-closing drawer to automatically close again the drawer pushed out of the coolable interior by means of the plunger, should e.g. a person does not want to open the self-closing drawer. This can also be achieved that in a false triggering of the opening aid device, the self-closing drawer does not remain open, but is automatically closed again.
  • the opening aid device is preferably arranged centrally with respect to the inner container in order to allow a change of the stop of the door leaf or to extend the self-closing drawer neatly.
  • the household refrigerating appliance according to the invention comprises two coolable inner spaces for storing food, one of which is provided with the self-closing drawer and the other with the hinged door leaf, of which at least one of the hinges is designed as the self-closing hinge ,
  • the self-closing drawer and the door leaf are each assigned a corresponding opening aid device.
  • the household refrigerating appliance according to the invention, this is designed so that, due to a pressing on the closed door leaf or on the closed drawer, the opening aid device automatically moves the ram in particular from its first position into its second position, with a time delay.
  • the desire of a person to open the door leaf or the drawer is noticed by pressing on the door leaf or on the drawer. Pressing on the drawer or on the door leaf can be detected, for example, by evaluating the pressure inside the coolable interior or changing it.
  • the household refrigeration appliance according to the invention comprises, for example, a pressure sensor and evaluates its output signals. Namely, if pressed on the door leaf or on the drawer, then the pressure increases within the coolable interior.
  • the opening device preferably by a period of, for example, 0.5s delayed the plunger from its first to its second position to assist the opening of the door panel or the drawer.
  • the opening aid device already presses the door leaf or the drawer against the person during the pressing.
  • the door leaf or the drawer automatically opens at a gap or around the second distance, in order to allow the person to manually further open the door leaf or the drawer.
  • the domestic refrigerator according to the invention is designed such that after a press on the closed door leaf or on the closed drawer, the opening aid automatically moves the plunger by a period of, for example, 3 seconds from its second position to its first position.
  • the opening device holds the door leaf or the drawer slightly open for this period.
  • the person has enough time to open the door leaf or the drawer further, before this or this automatically closes again.
  • the household refrigerating appliance according to the invention can therefore be designed such that, as a result of the pressing on the door leaf, in particular on its front or on the drawer, the opening aid device is activated. In particular, after a short wait, the door leaf is pushed up to the second opening angle.
  • the door leaf is preferably held by the opening aid device until the person grasps the door leaf. For example, after a set period of eg 3 s, the opening aid device retracts its plunger. Thus, the door leaf automatically closes again if the person has not completely opened the door leaf.
  • the type of closure can be influenced accordingly by the speed profile of the plunger return of the opening aid device.
  • the opening gap of the door leaf is matched to the respective self-closing hinge. This means that the second opening angle, which is triggered by the opening aid device, is smaller than the first opening angle, to which the self-closing effect of the self-closing hinge is still effective.
  • the extended path (second route) is not greater than the path (first route) which the drawer or self-closing drawer can automatically return to.
  • this is designed such that due to pulling on the closed door leaf or due to pulling on the closed drawer, the opening aid device automatically moves the plunger, in particular, immediately from its first position to its second position.
  • the door leaf or the drawer may have a handle.
  • the desire of a person to open the door leaf or the drawer is noticed by pulling on the door leaf or on the drawer. Pulling on the drawer or on the door leaf can be detected, for example, by evaluating the pressure inside the coolable interior or changing it.
  • the opening device when pulled on the door leaf or on the drawer, then the pressure decreases within the coolable interior. If now pulled on the door leaf or on the drawer, then moves according to this variant, the opening device, the plunger from its first to its second position to assist the opening of the door panel or the drawer. Preferably, the opening device moves the plunger immediately from its first to its second position to assist the person when pulling on the door leaf or on the drawer as possible without delay.
  • the opening device of the household refrigerator according to the invention automatically moves the plunger immediately from its second position in his first position after pulling on the closed door leaf or on the closed drawer.
  • the door leaf or the drawer immediately closes automatically again, should the person not hold or further open the door leaf or the drawer.
  • the time period with which the opening aid device moves the plunger due to a pulling on the closed door leaf or on the closed drawer from the first position to the second position is smaller than the time duration with which the opening aid device the plunger moved from the first position to the second position due to a pressing on the closed door leaf.
  • the opening aid device of the household refrigerating appliance according to the invention reacts much faster when pulling on the door leaf or on the drawer than when pressing to assist the person immediately in pulling.
  • the support is preferably only for a relatively short range, in particular to reduce the relatively high forces in the initial region of the opening, for example due to negative pressure of the coolable interior or inertia of the door leaf.
  • the opening aid device immediately returns the plunger to its first position and the person can close the door leaf or the drawer again as if no opening aid device were present. However, if the person lets go of the door leaf immediately after the driving range assisted by the opening aid device, it closes again by itself.

  • the pressure change within the coolable interior 4 is evaluated by means of the electronic control device 15. Press the person on the closed drawer 52, the pressure within the coolable interior 4 increases. If the person pulls on the drawer 52, the pressure within the coolable interior 4 decreases.
  • the electronic control device 15 controls the electric motor 13 differently depending on the detected pulling or pressing on the drawer 52.
  • the time courses of this activation or of the resulting movements of the plunger 12 correspond to the time courses 41, 42 for the opening of the door leaf 5 of the household refrigerating appliance 1.
  • the plunger 12 is moved from its first position to its second position, which it reaches at the time t-1. After reaching the second position at the time t- ⁇ the plunger 12 is immediately moved back to its first position, which he reached at time t 2 .
  • the time it takes the ram 12 to reach its second position at time ti is preferably less than 0.4s, preferably about 0.2s.
  • the time required for the plunger 12 to move between the second position and the first position is, in particular, longer than the time for the movement from the first position to the second position.
  • the period of time for the movement of the plunger 12 from the second position to the first position is for example 0.5 s.
  • the plunger 12 is moved from its first position to its second position after a period of time of about 0.5 s at the time t 3 , at a time t 4 reached.
  • the period of time that the plunger 12 needs after detecting depression on the drawer 52 until it has reached its second position starting from its first position at the time t 3 at the time t 4 is longer than the corresponding period of time when pulling on the drawer 52 is detected and is eg 1, 0s.
  • the plunger 12 Before the plunger 12 is moved again from its second position to its first position, the plunger 12 lingers after recognized pressing on the drawer 52 for a predetermined time duration of in particular several seconds, for example of 3.0 s, in its second position, in order then to be automatically moved from its second position to its first position at time t 5 . His first position reaches the plunger 12 at time t. 6
  • the period of time for the movement of the plunger 12 from the second position to the first position is for example 0.5 s.
  • the domestic refrigerator 1 shown in FIG. 1 comprises a further coolable interior, which is provided with a self-closing drawer and an opening aid 1 1 for this drawer, corresponding to the self-closing drawer 52 of the household refrigerator shown in FIG 51.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil frigorifique (1) à usage ménager. Celui-ci comporte un conteneur intérieur (3) à isolation thermique, qui délimite un espace intérieur (4) pouvant être refroidi destiné au stockage de denrées alimentaires, un dispositif frigorifique destiné à refroidir l'espace intérieur (4) pouvant être refroidi, un vantail de porte (5) monté pivotant sur un axe par rapport au conteneur intérieur (3) au moyen de charnières, destiné à ouvrir et fermer l'espace intérieur (4) pouvant être refroidi, et un dispositif d'aide à l'ouverture (11). Au moins une des charnières est réalisée sous la forme d'une charnière à fermeture automatique (10) qui est apte à fermer le vantail de porte (5) automatiquement jusqu'à un premier angle d'ouverture (α). Le dispositif d'aide à l'ouverture (11) comprend un actionneur (13) et un coulisseau (12) qui peut effectuer un mouvement de va-et-vient au moins indirectement au moyen de l'actionneur (13) entre une première position et une seconde position. Le dispositif d'aide à l'ouverture (11) est conçu pour permettre une fermeture du vantail de porte (5) quand le coulisseau (12) se trouve dans sa première position, pour déplacer le coulisseau (12) de sa première position à sa seconde position, pour ouvrir le vantail de porte (5) fermé en le poussant au moyen du coulisseau (12) jusqu'à un second angle d'ouverture (β), inférieur au premier angle d'ouverture (α), et, une fois la seconde position atteinte, pour déplacer automatiquement, immédiatement ou de manière temporisée, le coulisseau (12) dans sa première position.
