Definitions

• the present invention relates to a housing for a household appliance, in particular for a refrigeration device, with a body and a door hinged to the body.
• Electronic components of such a household appliance are often housed in a ceiling of the body, above a storage room, to bring out control and display elements on a front edge of the ceiling and accessible to a user.
• Fig. 4 shows a known design of such a refrigeration device housing.
• the front edge of the ceiling 2 of the body 1 of the refrigerator, a multi-part aperture is preset.
• An approximately cuboid central element 3 of the diaphragm covers a receiving tables of the electronic components formed in the front edge of the ceiling 2 and has on its front side facing the user viewing windows, on the displays of the electronic circuits are readable, and switches and / or controls for adjusting of operating parameters of the circuits.
• the central element 3 is flanked on the left and on the right by approximately prism-shaped lateral elements 4, 5, wherein one of these elements, in the representation of FIG. 4, the right element 5, a
• Fitting part 6 goes out, which forms part of a door hinge.
• a hung on the door hinge door 7 has at its upper edge to the body facing recess 8, which in the closed position of the door 7, the projecting aperture 3, 4,
• a supply cable extends from a plug connector, which is mounted in a side wall of the central element 3 facing the lateral element 5, through the lateral element 5 and the Fitting part 6 through the door.
• the hinges from the right edge of the body 1 and the door 7 can be moved to the left edge.
• the aim of the present invention is to provide a structure for a household appliance housing, which allows an electrical supply to the door at impact changes, without requiring a substantial projection of the panel over the front edge of the ceiling of the carcass is required.
• the structure of the door can be simplified because the recess for receiving the panel can be omitted.
• the object is achieved in which in a housing for a household appliance with a body, a door hinged to the body, a guided over a hinge between the body and the door line and a mounted adjacent to an edge of the door on the body, a central Element and two lateral elements comprising the front panel a connectable with the line connector on a front side of the body is arranged behind both lateral elements.
• a harness for supplying a housed behind the central element in the body electronics housing preferably branches before reaching the electronics housing in at least one leading to the electronics housing line and at least one leading to each of the connector line.
• an electronics housing housed behind the central element in the body may extend beyond the lateral elements.
• the connectors can be placed within the electronics housing, and a branch of the wiring harness in circuits of the electronics housing associated lines and lines for supplying the door can be done within the electronics housing.
• the connectors are preferably recessed in each case in a recess of the front side to a possible supernatant of these connector elements coupled, complementary connector elements of the line over the front of the body to minimize.
• the thickness of the lateral elements can be reduced to a few millimeters, which are required to guide the cable hidden within one of the lateral elements of the connector to the hinge.
• Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a refrigerator housing according to the invention
• FIG. 2 shows a schematic section through the front edge region of the ceiling of the refrigerator housing according to a first embodiment
• Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 section according to a second embodiment of the invention.
• Fig. 4 already discussed, shows a conventional refrigerator housing.
• Fig. 1 shows a refrigerator housing with a body 1 and each attached to the right edge of the ceiling 2 and bottom 9 of this body 1, a pivoting door 7 bearing
• Contours for the suspension of door racks, or the like such as provided with latching projections vertical spars, be provided.
• the fitting parts 6 each have a fixed to the front of the body 1 foot piece 11 and a protruding from the foot piece 1 1, the door 7 supporting arm 12.
• the foot piece 11 is visible; at the upper fitting part 6, the foot piece 11 is hidden behind a lateral element 15 of a panel, which extends substantially over the entire width of the body 1 at the front edge of its ceiling 2 along.
• the arm 12 of the upper fitting part 6 engages through a recess of the lateral element 15 forward.
• a central element 13 of the panel has viewing windows for display of behind her inside the ceiling 2 housed electronic circuits and not shown switches and / or controller for setting operating parameters of the refrigerator on.
• a left element 14 of the panel has a closed front. All three elements 13, 14, 15 of the front panel are available only a few millimeters above the front edge of the ceiling 2, so that they find room with the door closed 7 in a kept free from the magnetic seal 10 gap between the door 7 and the ceiling 2.
• the left panel member 14 covers some preformed in the front of the body 1 threaded holes in which a fitting 6 is mirror-inverted to the upper fitting part 6 shown in FIG. 1 can be mounted. In which a fitting on the left edge of the bottom 9 and the ceiling 2 are mounted in mirror image to the two fitting parts shown, the stop of the door 7 can be reversed.
• z. B. the fitting parts 6 shown in Fig. 1 are interchanged crosswise.
• Fig. 2 illustrates, with reference to a horizontal section through the front portion of the ceiling 2, the electrical supply of a mounted in the door 7 circuit element.
• This circuit element may be a sensor, a consumer such as a light source, a fan or the like, or even a control element, which allows the setting of operating parameters of the device, even if the controls of the central element 13 of the aperture through the closed door 7 are hidden.
• the ceiling 2 is filled in the interior substantially by insulating foam, which is however omitted in the section of Fig. 2 for clarity, so that the contour of an inner container 16 is visible.
• a plastic housing 18 is disposed behind a cutout 17 in the front of the body 1, which is provided to receive circuit boards, displays, controllers, etc.
• a complementary connector 27 of a supply cable 28 is inserted, which extends through a channel 29 of the fitting 6 into the door 7 inside.
• the embodiment shown in Fig. 3 differs from that of Fig. 2 essentially in that the housing 18 is widened to cover not only the central cutout 17 but also the lateral cutouts 22.
• the arranged on these cutouts 22 sockets 23 need, since they are separated by the widened housing 18 of the insulating foam, itself not to be foam-tight.
• the arrangement of the aperture elements 13, 14, 15, the fitting parts 6 and the supply cable 28 is the same as in the embodiment of Fig. 2.
• the cable harness 26 extends closed between the housing 18 and the engine room; only within the housing 18 is a branching in lines 19 of the electronic circuit components and lines 25 to the connectors 24 instead.
