Definitions

  • the invention relates to a refrigerator, in particular a refrigerator, with at least one refrigerator with side walls and at least one tray. On at least one of the side walls, a wall support means for supporting the at least one tray is arranged.
  • Trays for refrigerators of this type are well known. They are usually inserted into grooves in the side walls of the refrigerator or mounted on the side walls rails or placed on corresponding support surfaces.
  • the tray can, for example, slip in the removal direction. Later objects are placed on the tray, the tray can slide back in the opposite direction. Due to the slippage, gaps can form between the tray and the cooling chamber walls, through which objects can fall down or possibly drop spilled liquids downwards.
  • various concepts for fixing trays have already been developed, as for example in EP 1 956 324 is disclosed.
  • a fixing device is shown, which is relatively complex to manufacture and requires the user that he operates in the retracted position of the tray, the fixing device.
  • the cooling device comprises at least one cooling space with side walls and at least one tray.
  • On at least one of the side walls at least one wall support means is arranged, on which the at least one tray can be stored.
  • the tray has at least one shelf with side edges.
  • On at least one of the side edges of the shelf a tray support means is arranged, which serves for the storage of the tray on the wall storage means.
  • At the at least one tray support means a spring element is arranged.
  • a refrigerator is to be understood as a space which can be cooled to any temperature, in particular a freezer compartment.
  • the tray support means and the tray may be different components or together a single component.
  • the storage tray and the tray support means may be a one-piece molded part, which is laterally configured such that it can be stored without additional components on the wall storage means.
  • a spring element is a component which yields under load and returns to its original shape after being released, i. E. it shows an elastic behavior.
  • the inventive object has the advantage that with the spring element, which is arranged on the at least one tray support means, a force can be exerted on the tray in the inserted state, which counteracts any displacements of the tray during use.
  • the spring element is inserted tray, i. when arranged in the refrigerator, arranged in the rear half of the tray.
  • the spring element pushes the tray to an upper stop surface of the wall support means upwards.
  • the "back half" of the tray means that half which, in the inserted state of the tray, is closer to a rear wall of the cold room.
  • the rear wall is arranged on the opposite side of a door to the refrigerator, which is opened to remove objects stored on trays from the refrigerator or turn off in the refrigerator. The door thus forms the front of the refrigerator.
  • This arrangement of the spring element has the advantage that, for example, in the described embodiment, the tray is supported in the front region on the wall support means down and pressed in the rear area to an upper stop surface.
  • the tray is already on the bottom, and in the rear area, in which the tray could be pushed upwards depending on the configuration of the wall support means due to a force exerted by the weight of the object leverage, the tray is already on an upper stop surface.
  • a possible embodiment of a spring element, which presses the tray to an upper abutment surface of the wall support means up, may consist in that the spring element abuts on a lower abutment surface of the wall support means and presses there against down, so that the tray of the spring element against the mentioned upper abutment surface is pressed.
  • the spring element is arranged with the tray in the refrigerator in the front half of the tray.
  • the spring element presses the tray to a lower stop surface of the wall support means.
  • the tray is prevented from moving in the vertical direction when objects are placed on the front half of the tray.
  • the spring element abuts an upper abutment surface and presses the tray downwards.
  • the tray is already from the beginning in the front area at the bottom, so that it does not move when it is loaded with additional weight of a parked on the tray object.
  • the spring element is arranged and configured such that it pushes in the inserted state of the tray in the refrigerator this backwards in the refrigerator.
  • Pressing “backwards” means that the tray is pushed away from the door in the direction of the rear wall of the cooling space and therefore strikes against the rear wall itself, on a rear abutment surface of the wall support means or on another element, preferably in the rear region of the refrigerator.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that the tray in the depth direction of the refrigerator, ie from front to back or vice versa, does not move, even if objects are parked by a user on the shelf or removed from the tray.
  • a user places objects on the tray from the front, this can, for example, generate a force on the tray that pushes it backwards.
  • the tray since the tray is already pressed backwards due to the spring element, for example to the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment, the tray does not move further when the object is parked, because it is already striking.
  • a force can act on the tray, which pulls this forward. However, this force counteracts the force acting backwards by the spring element, so that in this case the tray does not slip.
  • the wall support means on a trough-shaped recess for receiving the spring element.
  • the wall support means may be configured as a linear guide rail.
  • the spring element is arranged in the inserted state of the tray in the recess.
  • the guide rail may be configured such that it has a lower level and in particular the lower level forms the lower stop surface.
  • the tray lies on the lower level due to the weight of the tray or due to a force exerted by the spring element force.
  • the guide rail may be configured such that it has an upper plane which limits upward vertical movements of the tray and in particular forms the upper stop surface. In particular, the tray is pressed against the upper plane due to a force exerted by the spring element.
  • the recess of the wall-supporting means has at least one longitudinal side delimiting oblique side wall and is positioned such that when the tray is inserted in the cooling space, the spring element abuts against the at least one oblique side wall.
  • the spring element Due to the oblique configuration of the recess in the longitudinal direction delimiting oblique side wall, the spring element, which is pressed by the weight of the tray and / or by an upper abutment surface on the oblique side wall, loaded so that the spring element emanates a force which the tray according to both depending on the arrangement of the recess presses upwards or downwards as well as in the vertical direction.
  • the spring element is arranged in the inserted state of the tray within the trough-shaped recess and only by elastic deformation of this state can be solved.
  • the tray storage means is designed as a bar.
  • the tray support means may be molded or glued to the tray or configured with the tray as a one-piece component.
  • bar is a narrow bar of any material to understand, which can serve as a skirt of the shelf here.
  • the tray support means may comprise a Tablarausnaturalung, wherein the spring element with two the Tablarausnaturalung longitudinally delimiting Aus biologyungsceither who is firmly connected.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that the spring element can be arranged as compact as possible on the tray due to the TablarausEnglishung without much storage space is lost over a width of the tray.
  • the spring element is connected to two recess side walls, it has a high robustness and withstands a variety of loads.
  • the storage plate on a plate recess for receiving the spring element.
  • the tray support means and the spring element can be configured together in one piece. This is possible in particular by means of an injection molded part.
  • the tray support means and / or the wall support means extend only over a rear part of an overall length of the side edge of the shelf.
  • the front part of the tray is wider than the rear part of the tray designed.
  • a major part of the tray support means and / or the wall support means is arranged in the rear half than in the front half of the total length of the side edge of the storage board.
  • a tray support means is preferably arranged on two side edges of the storage plate, both tray storage means having a spring element.
  • the arrangement of two spring elements, a single spring element can be made narrower.
  • front refers to the normal operating position of the refrigerator, in which the closed user door is arranged vertically and forward.
  • the terms are also applicable to the arranged in the refrigerator shelves, which is always assumed that the intended arrangement in the refrigerator.
  • refrigerator includes in particular (but not limited to) refrigerators, freezers and combination refrigerators and freezers.
  • Fig. 1 schematically shows a refrigerator with a cooling space 1, which has two side walls 1a, a rear side wall 1b, a top wall 1c and a bottom side wall 1d.
  • a user door 2 is arranged, with which the refrigerator 1 can be opened and closed.
  • trays 3 are arranged on which objects to be cooled 4 can be stored.
  • Fig. 2 shows a tray 3 from above.
  • the tray 3 has a shelf 5, which may be configured in particular of glass or plastic, on which objects to be cooled 4 can be stored.
  • tray support means 6 are arranged, with which the tray 3 can be stored in the refrigerator.
  • the tray support means 6 are designed as strips, which extend over only a part of the entire length of the side edges 5 a of the shelf 3.
  • the tray support means 6 are arranged substantially in the rear half 3b of the tray 3, so that on a large part of the front half 3a of the tray 3 on the entire width to be cooled objects 4 can be stored and the tray support means 6 does not unnecessarily cover the tray 5 ,
  • Fig. 3 shows the tray from below and Fig. 4 shows an enlarged detail view of the arranged in the tray support means 6 spring element 7, wherein the course of the side edge 5a of the tray 5 is shown in dashed lines.
  • Fig. 5 shows the tray in side view and Fig. 6 shows an enlarged detail view of the spring element 7.
  • the tray support means 6 has a TablarausPlusung 8, in which the spring element 7 is arranged.
  • the TablarausEnglishung 8 is limited in the longitudinal direction of two Ausbloodungs solicit proposedn 9, with which the spring element 7 is connected.
  • the spring element 7 Due to the two-sided connection of the spring element 7 with the two recess side walls 9, the spring element 7 is stable in the Tablaraus Principleung 8 positioned and thereby survives a large number of Tablarioloen without being damaged. Furthermore, in the case of a two-sided connection, a greater spring force can be generated than in the case of a one-sided connection of the spring element 7 with the recess side walls 9 of the tray recess 8.
  • a plate recess 5b in the tray 5 is advantageous in which the TablarausEnglishung 8 and the spring element 7 are arranged.
  • the spring element 7 is arranged close to the rear end of the tray 3 and pushes the tray in the inserted state upwards.
  • Fig. 7 shows wall support means 9, which are arranged on the side walls of the cooling space 1.
  • trays 3 can be added.
  • the wall support means 9 are designed as guide rails, wherein a plurality of guide rails are arranged one above the other, so that the user can choose the height of the tray 3 in the refrigerator 1 itself.
  • the wall support means 9 are arranged on the side walls 1a of the cooling space 1 and have recesses 12 in which the spring elements 7 can be arranged in the inserted state.
  • Fig. 8 shows a section through the housing of the refrigerator with trays in side view, wherein the user door 2, the front of the refrigerator and the rear side wall 1b of the refrigerator compartment 1 forms the back.
  • the trays 3 are arranged so that they are in contact with a rear abutment surface 9a of the wall support means 9.
  • Fig. 9 shows a close-up of one in the refrigerator 1 intended arranged tray 3 with a view from the front.
  • the height of the tray support means 6 is designed to be slightly smaller than the height of a designed as a guide rail wall support means 9. This creates a small clearance between Tablarlagerungsstoff 6 and wall support means 9 in the vertical direction.
  • FIG. 10 This embodiment is also schematically in Fig. 10 illustrated.
  • the tray 3 rests on the lower abutment surface 11 at the point 11a of the wall support means 9 due to its own weight.
  • the tray 3 In the rear area, the tray 3, however, due to the spring element 7, which as in Fig. 5 shown in the rear area of the tray 3 is arranged, pushed up to the upper stop surface 10.
  • the tray 3 is thus slightly inclined relative to the wall guide means 9 designed as guide rails. Either the slope is so light that this is not noticeable to the user and no liquids can flow forward on the tray, or the wall support means 9 are slightly inclined in the depth direction, so that the tray 3 in the refrigerator 1 in the depth direction completely horizontal lie comes.
  • the tray 3 rests in the front region on the under stop surface 11 at the point 11a and in the rear region on the upper stop surface 10, when placing an object in the front region of the tray 3, a vertical movement of the tray 3 is no longer possible. Because with an additional weight in the front area of the tray 3 is pressed due to the leverage with support at the point 11a front down and back up. Because the tray 3 but already applied to the lower stop surface 11 and the upper abutment surface 10, a movement is prevented.
  • the leverage on the tray 3 is because the Tray is supported by the wall support means 9 only in the rear region of the refrigerator 1. This is particularly advantageous because due to lack of wall storage means 9 in the front half of the refrigerator 1 on the trays 3 more storage space is available in width.
  • Fig. 11 a detail view of the arranged in the recess 12 spring element 7 is shown.
  • the recess 12 has two oblique side walls 13, which limit the recess in the longitudinal direction, ie on the left and right of the figure.
  • the front oblique side wall 13 and the spring element 7 are configured such that the spring element 7 comes to rest with inserted tray 3 on the front oblique side wall 13 and a corresponding obliquely acting force (arrow in FIG Fig. 11 ) exercises. Because of this inclined position, the spring element presses the tray 3 on the one hand upwards against the upper stop surface 10 and on the other hand towards the rear against the rear stop surface 9a of the wall supporting means 9.
  • the arrangement of the spring element 7 is shown only in principle and can be arranged at any location with any direction of force. It is e.g. also possible that the spring repels laterally against the wall support means 9 and thereby prevents a lateral, horizontal movement of the tray.
