Definitions

  • the invention relates to a large household appliance, comprising a body and a closure element attached thereto with at least one hinge.
  • Large household appliances typically have an accommodating space arranged in a body and a closure element arranged on the corpus for opening or closing the accommodating space.
  • Examples of such large household appliances are refrigerators (refrigerators, freezers, wine storage cabinets, fridge-freezers), dishwashers or cooking appliances.
  • the closure element for example door or flap
  • the closure element can exert a considerable weight on the hinge, which is conducted by the hinge into the body.
  • This weight not only results from the weight of the closure element itself. Rather, this weight also results, among other things, from the loading of the closure element with refrigerated goods and a furniture panel that may be arranged on an outside of the closure element as a decorative element, provided the refrigeration appliance is a built-in refrigeration appliance .
  • the object of the present invention is to improve a generic large household appliance.
  • a support element coupled to the hinge is provided in a large household appliance comprising a body and a closure element fastened thereto with at least one hinge.
  • the hinge can be made of metal, at least in sections.
  • a body connection part and a closure element connection part can be made of metal.
  • These connecting parts can each have at least one or two, or three or more through-openings in order to form a screw connection to allow the hinge with the body or the closure element.
  • the hinge can enable a pivoting movement of the closure element relative to the body about a preferably vertical pivot axis.
  • the hinge can simultaneously allow a translational movement of the closure element relative to the body. It is conceivable that the large household appliance has two or more hinges. If the closure element is articulated by two hinges, for example, their pivot axes are designed to be coaxial. If the closure element is formed by a door, the pivot axis is oriented vertically, for example, in the case of a built-in household appliance installed as intended.
  • the present invention is based on the fact that for optimal operation of the large household appliance, a precise arrangement of the closure element relative to the body is necessary, in particular when the closure element is in a closed state.
  • the present invention is now based on the finding that even slight twisting of the hinge due to the weight introduced by the closure element can have adverse effects on the operation of the large household appliance.
  • Such twisting has been observed in a large household appliance with a vertical pivoting axis of the closure element about a horizontally arranged axis.
  • a refrigeration device such twisting of the hinge can lead to a closure element that is not optimally aligned when it is closed. In the worst case, this in turn can lead to leaks and thus reduce the efficiency of the large household appliance.
  • this twisting of the hinge can lead to uneven gaps between the closure element (or a furniture panel in front of the closure element) and adjacent closure elements or furniture.
  • the support element is coupled to the body.
  • the support element has at least one coupling section, by means of which the support element is coupled to the body.
  • the support element can therefore be coupled directly to the body, that is to say contact it at least in sections.
  • the support element is cohesively coupled to the body.
  • the support element can be glued, welded or soldered to the body.
  • the support element is coupled to the body in a positive and/or non-positive manner.
  • a force transmission of weight forces and/or torques which the door exerts on the hinge, can be transmitted through the support element to the body or introduced into it.
  • the support element can be detached from the hinge without destroying it. That is, the support element can be dismantled from the hinge.
  • the at least one coupling section has a contact surface that is in contact with the body.
  • the contact surface can serve as a support surface in order to derive forces from the closure element via the support element into the body.
  • the contact surface is preferably flat and/or has a size of at least 0.5 square centimeters, or at least 1 square centimeter, or at least 2 square centimeters, or at least 4 square centimeters or at least 5 square centimeters. Sufficient coupling could be achieved if the contact surface is less than 15 square centimeters or less than 13 square centimeters.
  • the contact surface can contact a front surface and/or a side surface of the body.
  • the contact surface can be formed on a contact leg of the support element.
  • the contact surface can be free of other coupling elements, such as form-fitting coupling elements. It is also conceivable to provide additional coupling elements within the contact surface. For example, a screw opening can be provided within the contact surface in order to form a screw connection between the support element and the body.
  • the support element has at least two coupling sections, each with a contact surface that is in contact with the body, the contact surfaces being arranged at an angle to one another.
  • the two contact surfaces can enable the support element to be positioned on the body.
  • a more stable coupling of the support element to the body is made possible over the service life of the large household appliance.
  • the two contact surfaces can be formed separately from one another or, alternatively, can be directly connected to one another.
  • the contact surfaces contact two adjacent surfaces of the body and, for example, an abutting edge of the surfaces of the body is enclosed by the support element.
  • the abutting edge refers to the edge that connects the two surfaces of the body that are at an angle to one another.
  • the support element can be coupled to a corner section of the body, so that precise positioning is made possible.
  • the two contact surfaces are, for example, at an angle of 90 degrees or at least essentially 90 degrees to one another.
  • the two contact surfaces can be formed on two contact legs positioned at an angle to one another. In particular, those sections of the coupling sections that contact the body apply as a contact surface.
  • one or both contact surfaces are formed by surfaces of claws or hooks or tabs and each have a contact surface of less than 2 square centimeters.
  • the support element has three, four or more than four contact surfaces, which are arranged one after the other along a longitudinal extent of the support element and/or along a vertical extent of the support element. In particular, these contact surfaces can be arranged one after the other essentially or completely without a gap. In this way, the production of the support element as a stamped and bent component is simplified in that the outer contours of the contact surfaces can be stamped from a flat material.
  • the three, four or more than four contact surfaces can contact the two surfaces of the body which are at an angle, in particular alternately.
  • the coupling section has a plug-in section.
  • the plug-in section can produce a form-fitting coupling with the body.
  • the plug-in section can thus be accommodated in a receptacle in the body. It is conceivable that the plug-in section is accommodated in the receptacle without play or at least essentially without play, for example by means of a press fit. This enables the support element to be held securely or securely during assembly. Alternatively, it is conceivable that the plug-in section is accommodated in the receptacle with play and, for example, contributes to the rough alignment of the support element during assembly.
  • the plug section can be formed by an end section of the support element and/or by a flat section (ie the ratio of the thickness to the other extensions is less than 5 or less than 3).
  • the end section can be flat. If the plug-in section connects to a contact surface of the support element, the plug-in section can be designed so that it cantilevers relative to the contact surface or can have a height offset relative to the contact surface.
  • the plug-in section can engage behind a wall section of the body surrounding the opening.
  • the coupling section has a screw opening and the large household appliance further comprises a screw that penetrates the screw opening and by means of which the support element is screwed to the body.
  • the coupling section has two (or three or more than three) screw openings, each of which is penetrated by a screw and by means of which the support element is screwed to the body.
  • a plurality of screw holes may be arranged at the same position in the width direction and offset from each other in the height direction to enable a compact structure.
  • the screw opening can in particular be formed in a coupling section that is already formed as a contact surface.
  • the screw opening can in particular be closed at the edge, that is to say it can be formed by a hole.
  • a longitudinal axis of the screws can be aligned perpendicular to a front wall or front surface or perpendicular to a side wall or side surface of the body, so that the support element is screwed to the front surface and/or the side surface of the body.
  • the screw opening can have a chamfer and the screw can be a countersunk screw.
  • the body has a backing part coupled to the coupling section.
  • the backing part can, for example, have a screw opening and/or form or delimit a receptacle for the plug-in section.
  • the body connection part has at least one through opening for screwing to a body.
  • X height direction
  • Z depth direction
  • different distances result between a center point of the at least one through-opening on the one hand and different sections of the coupling section on the other.
  • a maximum distance of these different distances i.e.
  • the greatest value of the distances should be at least 3 cm.
  • the maximum distance thus represents the distance between the center point and the section of the coupling section that is furthest away from it in the projection representation.
  • the maximum distance is at least 4 cm or at least 5 cm or at least 8 cm or at least 9 cm.
  • the leverage effect of the support element increases as the maximum distance increases.
  • the maximum distance is a maximum of 30 cm or a maximum of 25 cm or a maximum of 20 cm or a maximum of 15 cm. It was found that sufficient support for the hinge can already be achieved with such maximum distances.
  • the maximum distance can be determined in particular as the largest distance in the projection representation between the center on the one hand and a section of the coupling section, in particular a contact surface or a plug-in section or a screw opening, on the other hand.
  • the large household appliance can have a mounting section by means of which the large household appliance can be coupled to a conversion to be arranged laterally next to the large household appliance.
  • the assembly section can be used for a positive and/or non-positive connection and/or integral coupling with the wall.
  • the mounting section can have one or more recesses (for example holes) by means of which the large household appliance can be fixed to the wall with screws.
  • the support element has the mounting section for coupling the large household appliance to a wall to be arranged laterally next to the large household appliance.
  • the mounting section has at least one recess, eg a closed-edge hole, for receiving a fastener, eg a screw, for coupling the large household appliance to the wall to be arranged laterally next to the large household appliance.
  • the mounting section can also have a contact surface for direct contact with the wall.
  • the contact surface is preferably flat and/or protrudes in the width direction over a surface of a body side wall. It is conceivable that the recess in the mounting section of the support element is fruitful with a recess in the hinge. This makes it possible to use a screw connection to both fix the body to the wall and to couple the support element to the hinge.
  • the mounting section is formed on a component or assembly that is separate from both the hinge and the support element.
  • the coupling to the wall can take place separately from the support of the hinge, both locally and with regard to the flow of forces.
  • the hinge and the support element do not have a mounting area or do not have a mounting area that enables a coupling, for example a screw connection, to the wall.
  • the large household appliance has a cover element which at least partially covers the support element.
  • the cover element is in particular a component that is separate from the support element and/or is preferably formed in one piece.
  • the cover element can be made of plastic, for example.
  • the cover element at least partially covers the mounting section. It is conceivable here that the cover element merely covers a surface of the support element, for example the mounting section, that faces the center of the body in the width direction covers. It is also conceivable that the cover element covers the support element, for example the assembly section, on both sides in the width direction.
  • a surface of the cover element that faces away from the center of the body in the width direction can provide a contact surface for contact with the wall.
  • a defined contact surface that is gentle on the wall with regard to the choice of material for the cover element can be provided.
  • the cover element can be coupled in a form-fitting manner to the hinge and/or the support element, in particular can be captively fastened. If the support element is a component that is separate from the hinge and is coupled to the hinge by means of a connecting section, the cover element can cover this connecting section at least partially or completely.
  • sections of the support element which are arranged behind the front surface of the body in the depth direction can be designed to be exposed, ie not covered by the cover element.
  • a coupling portion of the support member which extends in the depth direction behind the front surface of the body (to provide coupling with a side wall of the body), is exposed.
  • the cover element can have a base body and a cover.
  • the cover can in particular be articulated on the base body by means of a film hinge and/or have a screw opening which enables a screw to be held securely.
  • the support element is formed by a component that is separate from the hinge.
  • the support element can in particular be designed in one piece, ie it can be made from one component. It is also conceivable that the support element is formed by a structural unit that is separate from the hinge. In this case, the support element comprises two, three or more components.
  • the support element can be made of metal or can comprise a metallic component.
  • the support element can be a stamped and bent component or can include such a component.
  • the stamped and bent component preferably has a constant thickness, which is at least 2 mm or at least 3 mm, or at least 4 mm or at least 5 mm. Sufficient support could be secured when the thickness is less than 15 mm, or less than 10 mm, or less than 8 mm.
  • the support element which is separate from the hinge, has a connecting section for coupling to the hinge.
  • the connecting section can be designed for a captive coupling of the support element to the hinge. It is conceivable that the connecting section has one, two or more pins which engage in receptacles of the hinge. It is also conceivable that the connecting section has one, two or more receptacles (for example holes) which are aligned with receptacles (for example holes) of the hinge in order to enable a screw connection between the support element and the hinge. This screw connection can be made by one or more screws that only connect the support element to the hinge. Alternatively, it is conceivable that the screw or screws also allow the large household appliance to be fixed to the wall.
  • the connecting section can be beveled in relation to the mounting section or the section forming the contact surface. This means that the connecting section has a height offset in relation to the mounting section or the section. This makes it possible for the connecting section to cover and/or rest against an extension of the hinge in the width direction of the large household appliance on a side facing the middle of the appliance.
  • the support element is mirror-symmetrical with respect to at least one plane. In this way it can be made possible that the support element can be used both to support an upper hinge and a lower hinge, so that the necessary number of parts can be reduced.
  • the support element is arranged in a permanently stationary manner with respect to the body connection part.
  • the relative position of the support element with respect to the body connection part is unchangeable. In this way, a secure and reliable support of the hinge can be achieved, which is not endangered by an unintentional change in the position of the two elements relative to one another.
  • a large household appliance according to the invention can be, for example, a refrigerator (e.g. a refrigerator, a freezer, a wine storage cabinet, a fridge-freezer combination), a dishwasher or a cooking appliance.
