Description

Door for a household appliance with a mechanically tilted cover, and household appliance and method for mounting a cover for a window package of the door

One aspect of the invention relates to a door for a household appliance for preparing food. The door has a window package. The window package has a first door window and a second door window separate from it. The at least two

Door panes are spaced apart. A space is formed between the door panes. In addition, the door has a strip-like cover which is arranged to cover the at least one intermediate space from above. The door also has at least one separate, mast-like door profile, which is arranged on a door pane. The cover is mechanically coupled to the door profile. Another aspect of the invention relates to a household appliance for preparing

Groceries with a door. In addition, another aspect of the invention relates to a method for mounting a panel of a door.

A door for a household appliance is known from DE 10 2012 217 355 A1. A strip-like cover, which is referred to as a top cover, is arranged there in such a way that it covers a pane of pane of the door from above. This top cover has an integrated

Storage device with which the door panes can be stored together. This storage device extends into the space between the door panes. The storage device has a rigid first storage unit and has a deformable second storage unit. This mounting device only enables and improves the mounting of the door panes to one another.

DE 10 2006 027 610 A1 discloses a strip-like cover element for a door of a cooking oven. Integrated on this cover element are a plurality of profiles, which are also located in spaces between the door panes

Put the window pane pack in the door. These profiles also only allow the door panes to be supported relative to one another.

In the known panels, it is therefore provided that only the position of specific door panes relative to one another can be improved with specific integrated parts. The location of the aperture even at the door and thus to the window package is not mentioned there. It can therefore also occur with such apertures that the location is specific

Door window occurs with a specific distance, so that an undesirable gap is created.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a door for a household appliance and a household appliance for preparing food, as well as a method for mounting such a panel, by means of which the position of the panel as a whole is improved to at least one door pane.

This object is achieved by a door, a household appliance for preparing food and a method according to the independent claims.

One aspect of the invention relates to a door for a household appliance for preparing food. The door has a window package. The window package has a first door window and at least one separate second door window. The at least two door panes are arranged at a distance from one another and a space is formed between the door panes. The door also has a strip-like cover that is separate from the door panes. This panel can also be called a top panel. This strip-like diaphragm is arranged in such a way that it covers the at least one intermediate space of the disk package from above. In addition, the door has at least one mast-like door profile that is separate from the cover and the door panes. This door profile is arranged on a door window. The cover is mechanically coupled to the door profile. The aperture has, in particular in one piece with it

formed, first contact element and a second contact element separate from the first contact element, in particular formed integrally with the diaphragm. The door profile has a hollow area in which the two contact elements

are arranged protruding when the panel is arranged in its assembled end position. The first contact element has an integrated and thus one-piece first contact part. The first contact element is arranged with this integrated first contact part against an inside of a first hollow area wall of the hollow area. This first cavity wall delimits the cavity. The second contact element has an integrated and thus one-piece second contact part. The second investment element is integrated with this second one Contact part arranged adjacent to an inner side of a second hollow area wall of the door profile opposite the first hollow area wall. The second

Cavity wall delimits the cavity. A mechanical tilting device is formed by the two contact elements and their contact parts, with which the cover is pressed in a defined manner relative to the door profile in the direction of a facing inside of a door pane about an axis that extends parallel to a longitudinal axis of the cover. These specifically designed contact elements, which have specific contact parts and which are arranged to engage and protrude into specific areas of door components, namely into a hollow area of a door profile and contact specific areas of the door profile, automatically achieve that the position of the cover to the window pack, in particular a specific inside of a door pane, is aligned. This is done by a specifically specified tilting movement or rotational movement, which is achieved by the integrated mechanical tilting device. Through these investment elements and

In particular, the specifically fitting system parts are tilted relative to the door profile and also to the door panes as a whole by a mechanical operating principle. In particular, it is achieved that a gap between the inside of the door pane, towards which the cover is tilted or pressed, is eliminated, in particular completely eliminated. It is then also achieved that the entry of media such as dust or dirt is prevented by a gap between the cover and the inside of this door pane, which gap is avoided in particular. In an advantageous embodiment, the diaphragm can also be pressed against this inside.

In particular, this longitudinal axis of the panel is oriented in the width direction of the door.

The mechanical tilting device is preferably designed in such a way that this tilting movement presses the panel against the inside of a door pane in such a way that it is also arranged in a pretensioned manner thereon. As a result, even when the door moves, in particular when there is a relative movement of individual components of the door, as can occur when the door is opened and closed, the cover can be permanently in contact with this inside of the door pane. It is preferably provided that the door pane in the direction in which the panel is pressed is the door pane to which the door profile is attached. In particular, the inside to which the cover is pressed is the one to which the door profile is also attached. For example, the door profile can be glued to it. In addition or instead of this, it can be provided that the door window, in the direction in which the cover is pressed, is a front window of the window package. This is viewed in the depth direction of the door. This windscreen is therefore the door window of the

Window pack, which is closest to the viewer when the door is closed on the household appliance and when the household appliance is viewed from the front.

It is advantageously provided that the first contact part is an elevation which, viewed in the depth direction of the door, extends from a base element of the first contact element in the positive depth direction. Through such a configuration, tilting moments are then initiated in a particularly precise manner and take place about an axis that is perpendicular to this depth direction.

Since the entire contact element does not abut the first cavity area wall, but rather a specifically shaped and geometrically formed first contact part is formed, quasi local contacting of the contact element on this inside of the first cavity area wall is achieved. In this regard, the tilting moments generated in this way can be achieved even more precisely and the rotary movement of the diaphragm around the longitudinal axis is also made very precise.

The elevation is preferably designed like a hump or a dome. In particular, this elevation, viewed in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the first contact element, is formed in a length half of the first contact element, which faces away from a base element of the diaphragm. The base element of the panel is an elongated component. The base element is in particular as a channel-like hollow body or

tub-like hollow body formed. In the assembled state, this basic element represents a hood of the cover, which covers the space between door panes like a hood from above.

In particular, this first contact element extends downward from this base element of the diaphragm, viewed in the vertical direction, and extends further down than this base element of the diaphragm extends downwards. This first contact element thus protrudes downward from the base element when viewed in the vertical direction.

In this context, in particular, this second length half of the first contact element is designed to protrude from the base element.

In an advantageous embodiment, this first system part is designed with a first system web. Such a contact web, which is narrow in the width direction, again enables the contact area with the inside of the first cavity region wall to be minimized. In an advantageous embodiment, the first contact part has two such contact webs, which are viewed in the width direction of the panel and are therefore also spaced from one another when viewed in the width direction of the door, but in particular are arranged parallel to one another. As a result, two separate contact points, in particular contact points, of the contact part with the inside of the first cavity area wall can be formed. A very defined and space-minimized contacting of the first

Contact element with the inside of the first cavity region wall is thereby achieved. The defined tilting moments can thereby be achieved in a particularly advantageous manner. Tilting of the contact element about its own longitudinal axis is avoided.

Provision is preferably made for the second contact part to be an elevation which, viewed in the depth direction of the panel and thus also in the depth direction of the door, extends from a base element of the second contact element in the negative depth direction.

In particular, these two separate system parts are thus designed in opposite orientations of the defined spatial direction, namely the depth direction. As a result, the tilting movement of the diaphragm is particularly advantageous

The whole viewed around its longitudinal axis relative to the door profile and relative to the

Disc package set. A particularly precise and defined tilting movement of this diaphragm is achieved. In particular, this creates a corresponding lever action for tilting, on the one hand, and on the other hand, the mechanical contact points then achieved between these different parts of the installation and the different cavity walls also result in a desired guidance of these

Tilting movement initiated. During the entire tilting movement, it is provided that the two contact parts are always and permanently in contact with the two different hollow area walls, so that the tilting movement is guided particularly advantageously.

Undesired movement components that deviate from this rotational movement can be avoided in this way. In particular, this also avoids that the diaphragm would be twisted. In particular, the above-mentioned configuration also ensures that the diaphragm is pressed as evenly as possible towards the inside of the front window over the entire length (viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the diaphragm) and, in this regard, is also advantageously pressed onto the inside as evenly as possible.

The second system part preferably has at least one system web. According to the explanations for the first part of the system, a very defined and area-reduced contact area or a corresponding mechanical contact point to the second cavity area wall can then be achieved. The second contact part preferably has a first contact web and a second contact web which is separate and spaced apart therefrom. In this regard, too, the advantages already mentioned, as set out in the advantageous embodiment of the first system part, can then be achieved.

In an advantageous embodiment, defined contact points of the contact elements on the cavity area walls are formed by the contact parts. The first is viewed in the height direction of the door and thus also in the height direction of the panel

Contact point, which is formed by the first contact part on the first cavity wall, is formed lower than the second contact point, which is formed by the second contact part on the second cavity wall. The two defined and locally formed contact points are thus offset from one another in the vertical direction. The first contact point arranged further ahead, viewed in the depth direction, is in

Height direction considered below as the second investment point. As a result, the mechanical tilting device, which is thereby also individually characterized, achieves a precisely defined tilting movement in the desired direction in the direction of the inside of the door pane. Because of this height offset of the two This point, which is accompanied by a corresponding height offset of the system parts on the system elements, this defined tilting moment is reached very precisely.

It is preferably provided that the length of the first contact element dimensioned in the vertical direction is such that it is longer than the second contact element by at least a third, preferably at least half, of its length. In particular, it is provided that, viewed in the vertical direction, the second contact point, relative to the length of the first contact element measured in the vertical direction, is arranged within the higher and, in the context, second length half of the first contact element. This second half of the length of the first contact element is the one that connects directly to the base element of the panel.

The first contact part is preferably in a first length half, in particular in a first length third, the length of the first viewed along the longitudinal axis

Formed contact element. This first half of the length faces away from the base element of the screen. In particular, a maximum of the shape of the first contact part provided for forming the contact point is formed in a middle third of the length of the length of the first half of the length. The second length half of the first contact element is closer to the base element and opens directly onto this base element. The contact point of the first contact part on an inside of a fetch area wall, viewed in the vertical direction, is preferably offset so far down that the second contact element is shorter in this regard and thus ends at a higher level. A maximum of the shape of the second contact part, with which the second contact point of the second contact part is formed on an inner side of the second cavity region wall, viewed in the vertical direction, is preferably positioned such that it is arranged within the second length half of the first contact element. In particular, maxima of the shapes of the two parts of the system, with which contact points are formed with the inside, are in

Viewed in the vertical direction by at least a four part, in particular at least a third, of the length of the first contact element.

As a result, the investment sites are relatively far apart in height. This makes tilting easy. It is preferably provided that the pivot points of the

Tilting device are formed, by means of which the cover is tilted about the axis oriented in the width direction of the door relative to the door profile and also relative to the window package, in particular that door window against which this cover is pressed in the direction of the inside.

It is preferably provided that the first contact element and the second

Contact element in the width direction of the door are arranged offset to each other. As a result, the mechanical stability of the tilting movement is further improved and the precision of the tilting movement and thus the rotational movement is promoted without any other movement influences.

It can be provided that this offset in the width direction is such that the two contact elements, viewed in the width direction, are arranged without overlap with one another. In particular, they are directly adjacent to one another when viewed in the width direction. Viewed in the depth direction, however, these two contact elements are arranged at a distance from one another and are arranged without contact with one another.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the first contact element is essentially rigid. An undesired defined spring movement or excessive elasticity in the depth direction is avoided. This improves the defined and precise tilting movement. In particular, the second contact element is rigid in itself and is also arranged immovably on the base element of the diaphragm. This also favors the generation of the defined tilting movement.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that a guide element is arranged on the first contact element. In particular, this guide element is shown in

Direction of width viewed laterally on a side wall of the contact element. This guide element is preferably elastic. In particular, this is

Guide element a bracket. This bracket preferably has an angled end piece at its free end. This angled end piece is freely cantilevered and, in the mechanically unloaded state, is contactless with the rest of the first

Arranged element. This guide element is preferably a self-help educated. This means that when the screen is mounted on the window package by means of this self-help element, the first contact element also with a

preferably linear movement down (viewed in the height direction) is performed. In particular, this guide element contacts an inside of a further, third hollow region wall and is then moved downward along this relative to it.

The first contact element is advantageously H-shaped when viewed in a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the first contact element. In particular, the second contact element is U-shaped in a cross section perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, which is oriented in particular in the vertical direction. Through this

Design, the contact elements also have a corresponding rigidity.

It is preferably provided that the diaphragm has a first alignment element. This first alignment element is an element of the diaphragm that is separate from the first contact element and the second contact element. In particular, this first alignment element is formed in one piece with the diaphragm. The first

Alignment element is designed to align the door panes with each other. It is arranged at a distance from the two contact elements. This at least first alignment element enables a defined and desired position setting of

Door windows of the window package can be reached to each other. Regardless of the defined movement and positional alignment of the entire panel by the two contact elements, which are a mechanical tilting device or a component thereof, another functionality can also be achieved with this alignment element, namely a desired alignment of door panes to one another.

It is preferably provided that the first alignment element projects into the space between door panes of the pane package and bears against both door panes that delimit this space. If the window package is designed with only two door windows, this first alignment element extends into the space between these two door windows.

Generally speaking, the door can also have at least three door panes. These are preferably spaced apart and arranged essentially parallel to one another. Then there are two separate spaces. Advantageously, one io

such a design, a first door window is formed by a front door window, namely a front window. The door panel, in particular with its base element, is then pressed onto the corresponding inside on this first door pane. A second

In this context, the door pane can then be an intermediate pane which is arranged between the first door pane and a third door pane. The third door pane is in particular the one that is furthest to the rear or inside in the depth direction. In the assembled state of the door on the household appliance and at

When the door is closed, this third door pane is the one that is closest to a receiving space for food, in particular a cooking space.

In such a configuration of a door with three door panes, this first alignment element then projects into the intermediate space which is formed between the first door pane and the second door pane.

However, it can also be provided that the door has a window package with four separate door windows. In connection with this, a fourth door window can be arranged between the first door window and the second door window in an extension of the above-mentioned embodiment with three door windows. This fourth door pane, which then constitutes a second washer, is then arranged such that a space is formed between this fourth door pane and the second door pane and a space is formed between the second door pane and the fourth door pane. With such a configuration, this first alignment element then projects into it

Gap, which is then formed here between the second door pane and the fourth door pane.

The first alignment element is preferably oriented in the height direction. It extends in an advantageous manner from the base element of the panel in

Height direction down. It preferably extends further down than this basic element of the door panel.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the first alignment element is designed with multiple angles in a cross section perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, which is dimensioned in particular in the height direction of the panel and thus also in the height direction of the door. In particular, this first alignment element has in it Cross section looks at a Z shape. This is advantageous in

Depth direction considered two opposite and viewed in different orientations of this depth direction, contact webs formed. A first in this regard

The contact web then contacts a flat side of this intermediate space

delimiting door pane and the other contact web contacts a surface side of the other door pane, which delimits this space. This also ensures that this first alignment element is contacted with both surface sides of the door panes delimiting the space, but minimizes the surface. In particular, a contact line is formed here in each case.

It is advantageously provided that the Z-shape is oriented such that a first contact web, which represents a roof leg of the Z-shape, and a floor leg, which forms a second contact web of the Z-shape, in the width direction of the door

different widths are arranged. The roof leg rests with a terminating edge, which represents a free edge, on a flat side of a door pane that faces an intermediate space between door panes. The bottom leg lies with an end edge, which represents a free edge, on a flat side of another door pane that faces this space. As a result, the positional adjustment and alignment of the door panes with respect to one another, which are then contacted with this first alignment element, are improved.

It is preferably provided that this first alignment element is around its

Longitudinal axis can be twisted in itself and thus rotated. This is a very advantageous embodiment, since it enables the position of the door panes to be set particularly advantageously and precisely with respect to one another. In particular, this specific deformability of the first alignment element then also keeps the then set position of the door panes safely and reliably. In particular, it is then achieved that a certain pretensioning of the alignment element about its longitudinal axis is made possible, so that the position of the door panes that is then set is also held mechanically stable. Even when the door is moved, for example when opening and closing, the door is opened by the first

Alignment element set position held particularly advantageous and it can also avoid rattling of the door glass during this movement of the door. This longitudinal axis of the first alignment element preferably extends in the height direction of the door. It is preferably provided that the first

Alignment element viewed in the width direction of the door is arranged next to the door profile. In particular, this first alignment element is thus in

Considered width direction outside and spaced and thus also arranged without contact to this hollow area of the door profile.

It is advantageously provided that the cover has a second alignment element for aligning the door panes with respect to one another. This second

Alignment element is an alignment element that is separate from and spaced apart from the first alignment element. The second alignment element is

preferably integrally formed with the panel. The first alignment element projects into a first space between door panes. This first space is formed between a first door pane and a second door pane. The second alignment element projects into a second intermediate space which is formed between the second door pane and a third door pane. In this embodiment, the window package has at least these three door windows. However, it can also have at least one additional fourth door pane that is separate from it. This is preferably arranged between the first door pane and the second door pane. Through such an embodiment mentioned above with two separate ones

Alignment elements that protrude into different spaces can position the door panes relative to each other even more precisely. In particular, door panes, which are arranged as intermediate panes in a pane package, can be better aligned in their position here.

The second alignment element is preferably a rigid alignment element.

This is in particular rigid in itself and is also arranged immovably on the base element of the diaphragm.

In addition or instead of this, it can be provided that the second alignment element and the first alignment element are arranged at the same width position when viewed in the width direction of the panel and thus also in the width direction of the door.

In particular, these two alignment elements are thus viewed in the width direction not offset from one another or not offset from one another in such a way that they would be arranged without overlap in this width direction.

The first contact element is preferably designed in the manner of a pin or a rod. The first contact element extends in particular with its longitudinal axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the diaphragm. In particular, the first extends

Contact element in the height direction of the door. The second contact element is preferably designed in the manner of a pin or a rod. In particular, a longitudinal axis of this second element extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the diaphragm.

In particular, the longitudinal axis of the second contact element is oriented in the height direction of the door.

The first alignment element preferably extends with its longitudinal axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the diaphragm. In particular, the longitudinal axis of the first alignment element extends in the height direction of the door. In particular, the first alignment element is designed pin-like or rod-like. The second alignment element preferably extends with its longitudinal axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the diaphragm. In particular, the longitudinal axis of the second

Alignment element oriented in the height direction of the door. In particular, the second alignment element is designed like a pin or a rod.

These two contact elements, which are advantageously present, and these two alignment elements, viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the diaphragm, are preferably formed in a first end region of the diaphragm. This end region extends a maximum of a third, in particular a maximum of a quarter, in particular a maximum of a fifth of the total length of the diaphragm viewed in this direction of the longitudinal axis of the diaphragm.

The diaphragm preferably has one viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis

opposite other end area. At least two contact elements are preferably also formed in this second end region. In particular, at least a first alignment element and / or a second alignment element are also formed there. In particular, the diaphragm is symmetrical in this regard, so that an equal number of each at the two end regions Contact elements and / or an equal number of alignment elements are formed.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that viewed from an end edge of the panel and viewed along the longitudinal axis, which extends in the width direction of the door, the second contact element is first arranged, then the first contact element follows in the sequence and again in the sequence then follow the advantageously existing two alignment elements.

In an advantageous embodiment, the diaphragm is made in one piece. In particular, the screen is made of plastic.

In an advantageous embodiment, the screen has a locking element, which is a separate element from the contact elements. Especially if at least one

Alignment element is formed, this locking element is also formed separately from these two alignment elements. With the locking element, the panel can be attached to the door profile, in particular locked. At least one such latching element is preferably arranged at opposite end regions. A recess is preferably formed on an outer, fourth hollow area wall, which delimits the hollow area of the door profile, into which the

Can snap into place.

Another aspect of the invention relates to a household appliance, in particular for

Preparing food, with a door according to the aspect mentioned above or an advantageous embodiment thereof.

Another aspect of the invention relates to a panel for a door of a household appliance, with this panel at least one space between the door panes of a window package of the door can be covered from above. In advantageous embodiments, this panel has the above-mentioned individual features, as explained in relation to the aspect of the door of the invention. The invention thus also encompasses a panel, regardless of the door and the window package. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for mounting a panel on a window package of a door for a household appliance. In the method, the door is provided with a window package, which has a first door window and at least one second door window separate from it. The door panes are spaced apart and there is a space between the door panes

educated. The strip-like cover is arranged, covering the intermediate space from above. At least one mast-like door profile is arranged on a door pane. In particular, this is glued to an inside of the door pane. This door pane is preferably a first door pane, which in particular is a front pane of the

Disk package is. The inside of this first door pane is the one that faces the at least other further door pane of the pane package.

The cover is mechanically coupled to the door profile. The diaphragm becomes a first contact element formed in one piece with it and one for the first

Contact element separate and integrally formed with the panel second

Investment element provided. The door profile has a hollow area. In these

The two contact elements projecting into the hollow area are arranged when the cover is placed on the window package and placed on the door profile. When the screen is put on, the first contact element with an integrated first

Plant part with a first inside of a first cavity wall, which the

Hollow area of the door profile limited, contacted and brought into contact with this inside. The second investment element is integrated with a second

Contact part on an inner side of a second hollow area wall opposite the first hollow area wall, which delimits the hollow area, contacts and brings it into contact. A mechanical tilting device is formed by the contact elements and their contact parts, by means of which the panel is defined in the direction of a by an axis parallel to its longitudinal axis relative to the door profile due to the contact of the contact parts against the respective hollow area walls during assembly

facing inside of a door window pressed. The advantages that can be achieved with this have already been explained in the explanation of the door.

In particular, the cover, until it has reached its final end position on the door, is automatically relative to the door profile and the at least one Disc tilted or swiveled. This takes place in particular on the assembly path until the panel has reached its end position.

In particular, this pivoting is carried out in such a way that the cover is pressed against this inside of the door pane.

Another edge of a base element of the screen is preferably attached to it

Pressed inside the door window.

When assembling and thus fitting the door panel from above onto the door profile and the window pack, the individual design of the contact elements first means that the first contact element, which extends longer, is inserted from above into the hollow area open at the top and with it preferably formed first contact part contacts the inside of the first cavity wall. At this time, the second contact element has not yet been inserted into the hollow area and / or the second contact part has not yet been contacted with the inside of the second cavity area wall. In the event of a further fitting and thus a further downward guiding of the screen towards the window pack and the door profile, the second contact element is then also introduced into the hollow area which is open at the top and the second contact part of the second contact element then contacts the inside of the second cavity area wall. In particular with this contacting, due to the mechanical specific contact points and the tilting moments then formed by the tilting device, the entire aperture is automatically pivoted about the axis parallel to the longitudinal axis.

Further advantageous procedural steps during assembly are achieved through the individual representational features of the panel. In particular, in the

The alignment of the door panes with respect to one another is then achieved by the first alignment element, which is preferably at least present, in the

Gap between the door panes. Because of the advantageous

existing individual shape and / or the torsional ability of this first

Alignment element about its longitudinal axis can apply specific forces to the

Door panes are generated so that they can move and align relative to each other. This is done automatically when the cover is on the door profile from above and the disc package is put on. In particular, the alignment elements are immersed in spaces between door panes on this assembly path. This automatically results in the deformation of the first alignment element and the

Orientation of the door panes.

The diaphragm preferably has at least one holding rib or a holding web. This at least one footbridge is integrated with the door panel

educated. It is formed on a base element of the panel, in particular on an inside of this base element. It is positioned so that in the assembled state of the panel it then lies against an outside of the cavity wall area on the inside of which the second contact element lies. A squeeze bar or a squeeze rib is also formed by this retaining web. As a result, this second cavity region wall is also held or clamped in a mechanically stable manner between the second contact element and this at least one retaining web.

Advantageously, at least the first contact element, in particular both contact elements, is tapered in its free end facing away from the base element of the diaphragm. As a result, the at least one contact element can easily be inserted into the hollow region of the door profile. Advantageously, at least one alignment element, preferably both alignment elements, is on its

or its free end, which faces away from the base element of the panel, is tapered. In this regard, a simpler and jamming-free and spread-free introduction into a space between the door panes is made possible.

With the first alignment element, which can also be referred to as a torsion element, tolerances of the door panes and also of connection partners can be compensated for, so that a seat is always achieved without play. This also prevents noise from the door panes, which can be caused by contact with one another. The contact surfaces of this first alignment element on the inner sides of the door panes are preferably designed such that they are slightly offset from one another, in particular offset in relation to one another in the width direction, by the

Keep attachment forces at a low level. The power flow of the preload is thus a slight offset through the door window in question. The offset between these contact surfaces and thus in particular the roof leg and the Bottom leg of the preferably formed Z-shape is designed so that tolerances do not come into play due to the unevenness of the door panes and can therefore be neglected.

With the information "top", "bottom", "front", "rear," horizontal "," vertical "," depth direction "," width direction "," height direction "are the intended use and arrangement of the door or the device given positions and orientations.

In the figures, elements that are the same or have the same function have the same elements

Provide reference numerals.

In Fig. 1, a household appliance 1 is shown in a schematic representation, which is designed for preparing food. The household appliance 1 is in particular a cooking appliance. For example, it can be an oven or a microwave oven Be a steamer. It is also possible that the household appliance 1 has several of these functionalities and thus a microwave oven and one

Steamer and an oven can be.

The household appliance 1 has a housing 2. A receiving space 3, in particular a cooking space, for preparing food is formed in the housing 2. In addition, the household appliance 1 has an operating and / or display unit 4, in terms of position and configuration, to be understood only as an example and symbolically.

In addition, the household appliance 1 has a door 5. The door 5 is designed to close the receiving space 3. The door 5 has a window package 6 with at least two separate door windows. In addition, the door 5 has one to the

Disc package 6 separate panel 7. The panel 7 is arranged from above on the window package 6 and opposite door profiles 8 and 9. The cover 7 partially covers the window package 6 and these two door profiles 8 and 9 from above. The door profiles 8 and 9 are in particular mast-like or rod-like and are arranged on a door window of the window package 6. In particular, this is a first door pane 10, which represents a front pane here. This is viewed in the direction of the door 5 and thus also of the household appliance 1, specifically in the depth direction (z direction). When viewed from the front, this first door window 10, which represents the front window of the window package 6, is the closest and thus facing door window to the viewer and is the door window of the window package 6 facing away and thus the most distant from the receiving space 3 when the door 5 is closed These door profiles 8 and 9 are arranged, in particular glued, on the inside 11 of this first door pane 10. The inside 11 is that side of the first door pane 10 which, when the door 5 is closed, faces the receiving space 3. The inside 11 is the side that faces the at least one further door pane of the pane package 6.

In Fig. 2, an embodiment of the diaphragm 7 is shown in a perspective view. The panel 7, which can also be referred to as a top panel, is in particular made in one piece. It is preferably made of plastic. The panel 7 has an elongated base element 12 which is formed like a groove. This base element 12 preferably represents a hood which, when the cover 7 is mounted on the window package 6 and the door profiles 8 and 9 in the vertical direction (y direction), covers an upper region or upper edge 6a of door windows of the window package 6 from above. Accordingly, upper edges or upper areas of the door profiles 8 and 9 are also covered from above by this base element 12.

The diaphragm 7 and thus also the elongated base element 12 have a longitudinal axis A. This longitudinal axis A is oriented in the width direction (x direction) of the door 5.

The diaphragm 7 has a first end region 13 and, viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis A, an opposite second end region 14. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the two end regions 13 and 14 are designed corresponding to one another, in particular symmetrically, in particular mirror-symmetrically, with respect to an axis S which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A.

The explanations given for one of the two end regions 13, 14 therefore also apply to the other end region 13, 14. In the following, reference is made to the end region 13. This is shown enlarged in Fig. 3. The aperture 7 has a first contact element 15. The first contact element 15 is formed in one piece with the diaphragm 7. In the exemplary embodiment, it is designed like a pin or a rod. The first contact element 15 has a longitudinal axis B. The longitudinal axis B is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A in an advantageous embodiment.

In particular, the longitudinal axis B extends in the height direction (y direction) of the door 5. This is also the height direction of the household appliance 1 when the door 5 is closed.

This first contact element 15 extends in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A further than the base element 12. The reversed state of the diaphragm 7 is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. In the assembled final state of the panel 7 on the door 5, this first contact element 15 extends downward when viewed in the vertical direction and thus extends further downward than the base element 12. The first contact element 15 has a first contact part 16. This first part 16 is in particular a survey. This first contact part 16 is formed such that it is an elevation perpendicular to the longitudinal axis B. In particular, this first plant part 16 extends as an elevation in the depth direction (z direction) when the door 5 is closed. In particular, this elevation extends in the form of the first contact part 16 in the positive z direction. This means that this first plant part 16 extends away from the receiving space 3. The first contact part 16 is arranged to protrude from a base element 15a of the first contact element 15.

The first system part 16 is for the area-minimized defined application of the

Contact element 15 is formed on a specific area of the door profile 9.

In particular, in the exemplary embodiment shown, the first contact part 16 is provided with a first contact web 17 and a second one, which is designed parallel to it and is spaced apart in the width direction (which extends in the direction of the longitudinal axis A)

Dock 18 trained. These two landings 17, 18 have narrow

Front edges 18a and 17a. The hump-like or dome-like

Shapes of these contact webs 17 and 18 have maxima 17b and 18b. These maxima 17b and 18b form contact points or contact points with which, and in particular only with, the contact element 15 with a

specific area of the door profile 9 is mechanically contacted directly.

In addition, the screen 7 has a second contact element 19. The second

Contact element 19 is formed in one piece with the cover 7, in particular the base element 12. The second contact element 19 is preferably pin-like or rod-like. It has a longitudinal axis C. This longitudinal axis C is preferably oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A. In particular, the longitudinal axes B and C are parallel or essentially parallel.

As can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, the second contact element 19 is spaced apart and formed separately from the first contact element 15. In particular, the second contact element 19, when the cover 7 is mounted in its end position on the door 5, is spaced from the first contact element 15 when viewed in the depth direction. This second contact element 19 is in particular when the door 5 is viewed from the front arranged further back and thus arranged closer to the receiving space 3 than the first contact element 15.

In addition, it can be seen that the second contact element 19 is shorter than the first contact element 15 when viewed in the vertical direction. In particular, the length of the second contact element 19 in this regard is such that it does not protrude beyond the dimensions of the base element 12. The second contact element 19 is thus arranged entirely within the trough shape or the hollow area of the base element 12.

The second contact element 19 preferably has a second contact part 20, which is integrated in the contact element 19. In particular, the second system part 20 is designed as an elevation. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the second system part 20 has two separate system webs 21 and 22. The landing stages 21 and 22 are in

Width direction arranged spaced apart, in particular arranged parallel to each other. These piers 21 and 22 are in terms of their design as

Surveys. In particular, they are formed at least partially obliquely. They have front edges 21a and 22a. This in turn creates local investment sites. The second is in these investment locations

Contact element 19 at a second specific location of the door profile 9. The

Contact webs 21 and 22 are arranged protruding from a base element 19a of the second contact element 19.

The base element 12 has an end wall 23. As can be seen, the two contact elements 15 and 19 are arranged at a distance from this boundary wall 23. In particular, it is provided that the two contact elements 15 and 19 are arranged offset to one another in the width direction and thus in the direction of the longitudinal axis A. In particular, this offset is such that there is no overlap between the two contact elements 15 and 19 along this longitudinal axis A. When viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis A, the second contact element 19 is closer to this boundary wall 23 than the first contact element 15.

In addition, the screen 7 has a separate from the contact elements 15, 19

Holding element 24. The holding element 24 is in particular as a locking element

or locking hooks formed. This holding element 24 is on the inside the boundary wall 23 is formed in one piece. The diaphragm 7 can be held, in particular locked, on the hollow profile 9 by this holding element 24. An anti-loss device is thereby formed.

In addition, the end region 13 has a first alignment element 25. This first alignment element 25 is formed in one piece with the diaphragm 7. The first alignment element 25 is formed separately and at a distance from the contact elements 15 and 19. It is viewed further from the direction of the longitudinal axis A

Boundary wall 23 removed as the two contact elements 15 and 19. The first alignment element 25 is pin-like or rod-like. It extends with a longitudinal axis D perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A. In addition, the first alignment element 25 has a length (dimensioned perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A) which is greater than the base element 12, so that in the final assembled state of the panel 7, this first alignment element 25 extends further downward than the base element 12 and thus also the boundary wall 23. The first alignment element 25 thus protrudes downward from the base element 12 when viewed in the vertical direction. The first alignment element 25 is designed to be immersed or stretched into a space between two door panes of the pane package 6. The first alignment element 25 is designed to align the position of these two door panes, which delimit this intermediate space, with one another. The first

Alignment element 25 can also be referred to as a torsion element. This also means that it can twist or twist about a longitudinal axis D. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the first alignment element 25 is angled several times in a cross-sectional plane which is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis D and which is spanned by the width direction (x direction) and the depth direction (z direction), in particular Z-shaped.

In this configuration, the first alignment element 25 preferably has a roof leg 26 of this Z-shape. In addition, it has a separate base leg 27 of this Z-shape. Viewed in the width direction of the door 5 and thus viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis A of the panel 7, these legs, namely the roof leg 26 and the floor leg 27, are offset from one another and thus arranged at different width locations. End edges 26a and 27a, which are arranged in different orientations in the depth direction, are narrow Contact edges or contact lines for contacting the inside of door panes that delimit this space.

In addition, in an advantageous embodiment, the screen 7 has a further second alignment element 28. The second alignment element 28 is formed separately and spaced apart from the first alignment element 25. The second

Alignment element 28 is formed in one piece with the diaphragm 7. The second

Alignment element 28 is preferably rigid and immovable in itself

Base element 12 arranged thereon. The second alignment element 28 is pin-like or rod-like. It extends with a longitudinal axis E perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A. When the cover 7 is mounted on the door 5, this second alignment element 28 extends downwards when viewed in the vertical direction and also extends further downward than the base element 12. The second alignment element 28 extends thus down out of the base element 12.

The two alignment elements 25 and 28 are preferably arranged with respect to one another, in particular in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A, in such a way that a door pane is arranged in between and in contact with the two alignment elements 25 and 28 on different sides of the door pane.

In the assembled state of the panel 7, the two contact elements 15 and 19 are arranged engaging in a hollow area of the door profile 9. The two alignment elements 25 and 28, on the other hand, are spaced apart from the door profile 9 when viewed in the width direction and are arranged in a contactless and contact-free manner with respect to this door profile 9. They are only arranged for the positional alignment of door panes of the pane package 6 with respect to one another and, in this regard, engage in one or more spaces between door panes.

As can be seen, the two contact elements 15 and 19 on their

Base element 12 facing away from the tapered free end. In particular, the two preferably present alignment elements 25 and 28 are tapered at their free ends remote from the base element 12. As can also be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, there is another one

Boundary wall 29 of the base element 12 on the inside integrates at least one holding web 30, here two holding webs 30 and 31, and is thus formed in one piece with it. These holding webs 30 and 31, which can also be referred to as holding ribs or crush ribs, are designed to face the contact elements 15 and 19. They are in the assembled state of the panel 7 on an outside of the door profile 9.

As can be seen in FIG. 2, the diaphragm 7 on the opposite end region 14 is designed accordingly, so that the explanations relating to FIG. 3 and the end region 13 also apply to the end region 14. In this regard, reference should then be made to the door profile 8.

4 shows a further perspective illustration of a partial area of the diaphragm 7 according to FIG. 2, the end area 14 being shown here.

The position of the locking element 24 on the boundary wall 23 can be seen. In addition, it can also be seen in FIG. 4 that the first contact element 15 in one

Cross section perpendicular to its longitudinal axis B is H-shaped. In addition, it can also be seen in FIG. 4 that a guide element 32 is formed on the first contact element 15. This guide element 32 is formed as a freely projecting bracket. In particular, the bracket is angled at its end piece and here has an angle part 33 (FIG. 3). This guide element 32 is cantilevered and is arranged at its angled end without contact with the first contact element 15. The guide element 32 is also elastically deformable and thus resilient. It is arranged on a side wall 34 of the first contact element 15.

5 shows the view according to FIG. 4 in a view from below. The local positions and the geometries of the individual components mentioned can be seen. In particular, the complete overlap-free offset between the contact elements 15 and 19 viewed in the width direction and thus in the direction of the longitudinal axis A can be seen. In particular, the two alignment elements 25 and 28 are arranged to overlap in this width direction and thus viewed along the longitudinal axis A. The holding element 24, which is designed as a latching element, is also provided to secure the cover 7 against loss on the door profiles 8 and 9. 6, the door 5 is shown in a perspective vertical sectional view. The section plane is related in the yz plane. The window package 6 can have two separate door windows, but can also have three separate door windows. In the embodiment shown here, the window package 6 has four separate door windows. This is the first door pane 10. This first door pane 10 also represents a front pane here. In particular, a handle 36 is arranged on an outside 35. A second door pane 37 is formed here as the first intermediate pane.

A third door pane 38 is provided. This represents in particular one

Inner door pane. In addition, a fourth door pane 39 is preferably provided here. The fourth door pane 39 is here a second washer, which, like the first washer, which is formed by the second door pane 37, is arranged between the first door pane 10 and the third door pane 38.

An intermediate space 40 is formed between the first door pane 10 and the second door pane 37. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the fourth door pane 39 is arranged in this intermediate space 40. As a result, this first intermediate space 40 is formed in two partial intermediate spaces. On the one hand, a space 41 is formed in the context between the door panes 37 and 39, on the other hand, a further space 42 is formed between the first door pane 10 and the fourth door pane 39. A second space 43 is formed between the second door pane 37 and the third door pane 38.

The panel 7 is shown in its assembled end position. With the base element 12, it covers the door panes 37 and 38 from above. In particular, the fourth door pane 39 is also covered by this cover 7 from above.

The at least one intermediate space, which is formed between the at least two door windows of the window package 6, is thus covered from above with the screen 7. In the embodiment shown, the two spaces 40 and 43 are covered from above by this screen 7. In particular, the further gaps 41 and 42 are thus covered from above by this diaphragm 7. In this context, the base element 12 is placed like a hood from above. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the first door pane 10 is not covered by the cover 7 from above, since this door pane 10 extends further upward than the upper edges of the door panes 37, 38 and 39.

As can be seen in this assembled end position, the first extends

Alignment element 25 into the intermediate space 40, in particular into the intermediate space 41. Coming from above, this first alignment element 25 thus protrudes into this intermediate space 41 and, which cannot be seen due to the shape and the specific cutting plane, lies both on a surface side 44 of the second

Door pane 37 as well as directly on a further surface side 45 of the fourth door pane 39 facing this space 41.

In addition, it can also be seen that the second alignment element 28 projects into the intermediate space 43 between the second door pane 37 and the third door pane 38. Here, too, this second alignment element 28 extends from above into this intermediate space 43. The door pane 38 has a flat side 56 which delimits the intermediate space 43. The two surface sides 56 and 46 delimit the intermediate space 43. In particular, this second alignment element 28 is arranged contact-free with the surface side 56 of the third door pane 38. In particular, this door pane 38, which represents the inner pane, is held by the door profiles 8, 9 and the holding webs 30, 31.

These two alignment elements 25 and 28 align the position of the door panes, in particular the door panes 37 and 39, relative to one another and also relative to at least the third door pane 38. Since the first alignment element 25 can also be deformed, in particular twistable about its longitudinal axis D, corresponding positional forces are generated here and the relative position of the then set

Door panes 37 and 39 also held by these alignment elements 25 and 28.

FIG. 7 shows the representation according to FIG. 6 in a perspective different from FIG. 6.

As can be seen here in particular, but also in FIG. 6, the cover 7, in particular the base element 12, has a front, in particular upper, edge 47 directly on the inside 11 of the door pane 10, which is in particular the first Represents door pane. In particular, the cover 7 is pressed directly onto this inside 11. In particular, a prestressed pressing is formed here.

8 shows a partial area of the door 5 in an upper section. The

perspective sectional view shows a section in the x-y plane. The first

Door pane 10 is not shown here. The assembled final state of the panel 7, here also on the door profile 8 shown, can be seen. Like the door profile 9, the door profile 8 has a hollow region 48 at its upper region. When viewed in the vertical direction, this hollow area 48 is open at the top. This allows the first

Immerse the contact element 15 and the second contact element 19 from above into the hollow area 48 and, in the assembled final state, extend or protrude therein. The hollow area 48 is delimited by a first hollow area wall 49 (FIG. 9), by a second hollow area wall 50 (FIG. 9), by a third hollow area wall 51 and by a fourth hollow area wall 52. The square configuration of the carrier profile 8 here is exemplary. Other geometries can also be provided. In particular, at least one first hollow area wall 49 and, viewed in the depth direction, an opposite second hollow area wall 50 are formed. The first hollow area wall 49 is a hollow area wall closer in the depth direction of the first door pane 10 than the opposite second hollow area wall 50.

The first contact element 15 extends from above into the hollow area 48. This is correspondingly, as is also the case in the vertical sectional view

(Section plane is the y-z plane) can be seen in Fig. 9 by the second

Plant element 19 the case. As can be seen in Fig. 8, only these two protrude

Contact elements 15 and 19 into the hollow area 48. The two

Alignment elements 25 and 28 are not arranged protruding into this hollow area 48 and are also spaced from the support profile 18 in the width direction inwards. In addition, it can be seen how the guide element 32 rests on the inside of the third hollow region wall 51.

FIG. 9 shows a sectional illustration of the partial area in FIG. 8 along the section line IX-IX. This section plane is only through the second contact element 19 and the first contact element 15 is not shown cut here. It can be seen that the first contact part 16 bears on an inner side 49a of the first hollow region wall 49. Due to the design of this first contact part 16, quasi selective contact points 53 are formed on this inside 49a. In particular, these maxima 17b and 18b selectively contact this inside 49a. In addition, it is provided that the second contact part 20 contacts the inside 50a of the second cavity wall 50. In particular, due to the slope, there is also a selective one

Contacting provided. Here, too, specific spots are formed

From 54. These are formed by the two front edges 21a and 22a shown here by way of example. In particular, the bevels can be formed in such a way that here, too, maxima are formed at these front edges 21 a and 22 a, as is also the case with the first system part 16.

As can be seen in FIG. 8 and in particular in FIG. 9, viewed in the height direction, the second contact element 20 extends less far into the cavity 48 than the first contact element 15.

In particular, the contact points 53 and 54 are arranged at different height levels viewed in the direction of this height direction. Thus, the second contact point 54 is formed higher than the first contact point 53. This configuration produces a defined tilting movement about the longitudinal axis A of the entire shield 7 when the shield 7 is placed on it. This tilting movement, which is shown by the arrow P in FIG. 9, is carried out towards the inside 11 of the door pane 10. This door window 10 is the first door window, in particular the front window of the window package 6.

In particular, this tilting movement takes place via this mechanical tilting device 55 such that the screen 7, in particular a front edge 47, in particular the

Base element 12, is pressed against this inner side 11, in particular is biased.

The first contact part 16 is preferably formed in a first length half, in particular in a first length third, of the length of the first contact element 15 viewed along the longitudinal axis B. This first half of the length faces away from the base element 12. The second half of the length of the first contact element 15 is closer to the base element 12 and opens directly onto this base element 12. The contact point 53 is preferably offset so far downward in the vertical direction that the second contact element 19 is shorter in this regard and thus ends at a higher level. When viewed in the vertical direction, the second contact point 54 is preferably positioned such that it is arranged within the second length half of the first contact element 15.

The given positions for the investment points 53 and 54 in this regard

Specifications also apply in particular to the maxima 17b, 18b in comparison to the corresponding points which are provided for selective contacting with the inside 50a and relate to the second contact element 19.

10 shows the door 5 in a partial area in a horizontal sectional view (sectional plane is the x-z plane). The Z-shape of the first alignment element 25 can be seen here.

The representation according to FIG. 10 is shown in FIG. 1 1, but in one of FIG. 10

different perspective.

In addition, the locked state of the locking element 24 on the door profile 8, in particular the fourth hollow area wall 52, can be seen in FIGS. 10 and 11.
