Description

Refrigeration device and Lagepositionierungselement for an elongated component

The invention relates to a refrigeration device, in particular household refrigerating appliance, with at least one housing part, with respect to which at least one elongated component is arranged in a predeterminable mounting distance by means of a position-positioning element.

In the manufacture of a refrigeration device, in particular household refrigeration appliance such. As a refrigerator, freezer or a refrigerator / freezer combination device are usually one or more elongated components such. Pipes of the refrigeration circuit, electrical lines and / or electrical cables, etc. on one or more wall parts such. the rear wall, and / or a side wall of the inner container of the refrigerator preassembled. Such an inner container is pulled deep, in particular made of plastic. The thus pre-assembled with various mounting and / or attachments inner container is with one or more externally mounted formwork parts such. Side wall parts, rear wall, Ausstopfteilen, etc. ... joined together to form a hollow body or hollow body. For cardboard plates, plastic plates and the like can be used. The inner container is thus surrounded on the outside with an outer container or an outer shell in a predetermined gap or free space distance to form a hollow body. It sits outside on the outer container of the refrigerator, an outer housing.

In the Vorbestückung of the inner container with one or more built-in parts and / or attachments they are usually fixed in practice with the aid of double-sided adhesive tape on the respective outer side wall and / or in particular the rear wall of the inner container. In some cultivation and / or built-in parts such as suction pipes from the evaporator to the compressor of the refrigeration cycle one or more shims or spacers, in particular made of foam, preferably polyurethane, polyethylene or the like, used to the respective attachment and / or built-in part in a particular Height distance above, ie with a clearance above the outer surface of the respective inner container and to be maintained with a distance to the respective outer casing part in the hollow body. This serves to these built-in parts and / or attachments all around in to embed thermal insulation material, with which the hollow body is filled. For this purpose, preferably a polymer material, in particular polyurethane or a synthetic resin material, for example, with compressed air and / or another propellant gas is injected injected into the cavity of the hollow body and driven therein expands by the pressure of the propellant gas. Optionally, the propellant gas is also generated due to chemical reactions in one or more substances which are added to the liquid precursor of the insulating material. The expansion of the insulating material ensures that the polymer material or synthetic resin material forms a heat-insulating foam, which spreads into the entire cavity of the respective hollow body into a remote angle and ultimately fills it substantially completely. After setting and curing of the heat-insulating foam, a closed insulating foam layer is formed in the entire cavity of the respective hollow body, in which then the one or more heat-insulating built-in parts and / or attachments are embedded.

For a component for which a positional positioning with a gap or a gap to the respective inner wall part of the inner container and / or the respective outer wall part of the outer container of the refrigeration device is desired, so far, depending on the desired distance, a different thickness, i. specifically adapted, rigid shim subordinate. This rigid Unterlegteil or this solid spacer is preferably fixed with double-sided adhesive tape on the outer surface of the inner container. The patched on the shim component is usually secured in position partially with double-sided adhesive tape on the shim and partially on the outer surface of the inner container. Depending on the installation situation and in particular the thickness of the respective position-positioning component in a desired vertical distance, the specific thickness adaptation and mounting of a suitable, suitable shim may be too complicated and too cumbersome in practice. In particular, the additional bonding of such a rigid Unterlegteils claimed an additional material and time, which is undesirable for efficient refrigeration equipment production.

In addition to this first hollow body between the inner container and at least one outer container of the refrigeration device usually also has its door as a further housing part of the refrigerator or cooling device on a hollow body. The contribution of Anchor and / or built-in parts takes place essentially according to the same construction principle as the inner container.

The invention has for its object to show a way, as in a refrigeration appliance, in particular domestic refrigeration appliance, a manufacturing technology easier position positioning of at least one elongated component is made possible on at least one housing part. This object is achieved in a refrigeration appliance, in particular domestic refrigeration appliance, of the type mentioned above in that a inner ring element with a plurality of arranged around the outer circumference, freely projecting outwardly projecting Abstützflügeln is provided as Lagepositionierungselement, which are each formed resiliently.

Characterized in that the position positioning element according to the invention has around the outer periphery of its inner ring member freely outwardly projecting, resilient Abstützflügel, it remains in an advantageous manner in itself flexible, ie yielding. Thus, it can be with changing installation conditions, such. B. different wall thicknesses of the insulating material layer or different self-weights of the position-positioning, elongated components as universally usable spacer block. By means of the resilient support wings, the position-positioning element according to the invention can be set up largely tilt-proof and / or on at least one housing part of the refrigeration device according to the invention, in particular domestic refrigeration device, for positional positioning of an elongate component. On the other hand is largely ensured by the resilient Abstützflügel the Lagepositionierungselements invention that a contact force, which may occur when foaming a cavity with insulation material between the housing part and a spaced Verschalungsteil the refrigerator according to the invention, as far as can be intercepted that impermissible impressions or impressions of the invention Position positioning element on and / or in the housing part and / or outer casing part are largely avoided. Due to its free outwardly projecting, resilient Abstützflügel the Lagepositionierungselement invention can independently to varying installation conditions such. B. adjust different insulation material wall thicknesses. At the same time it allows a reliable position positioning of the respective position-secured, elongated component. By its free outwardly projecting Abstützflügel around the outer periphery of inner ring member, it also has a largely open construction, which ensures a sufficient flow of foam of the liquid precursor of the insulating material during the respective foaming. As a result, after the curing process, the structure of the position-positioning element according to the invention is penetrated by the hardened insulation material and forms a type of composite structure.

In addition, using the Lagepositionierungselements invention different types of elongated components such. As pipes, pipes of different dimensions, in particular outside diameter in a reliable manner positionally positioned at a desired height distance from the housing part and prepared for a foaming with the liquid precursor of an insulating material. The position-positioning element according to the invention thus permits a simplification of the assembly with simultaneously high manufacturing reliability. An additional bonding of the position-positioning element according to the invention is no longer necessary. It is flexible in use. Thus, different elongated components, such. As pipes, pipes of different diameters from and to the compressor of the refrigeration cycle, are positionally reliably positioned. Furthermore, it allows a wall thickness compensation due to the elasticity of its Abstützflügel. In general terms, therefore, the position-positioning element according to the invention, because of its elasticity and concomitant compressibility, enables tolerances of the wall layer thickness of the insulating material layer to be compensated.

According to an expedient development of the invention, the respective support wing has a lamellar geometry shape. This is accompanied by a small wall thickness of the support wings, so that a largely open structure of the inner ring member is arranged with the arranged around the outer circumference, free outwardly projecting, resilient Abstützflügeln largely ensured. This facilitates the foam flow of the liquid precursor of the insulating material during the respective foaming process.

According to a further expedient development of the invention, in each case the longitudinal side edges of the lamellar support wings together with the end edge of the inlet side and / or the outlet side of the position-positioning element inner ring member arranged substantially in a common position plane. As a result, this advantageously embodied position-positioning element has a simple and uniform structure which can be manufactured efficiently in terms of production technology.

In an advantageous manner, the position-positioning element can be formed in the shape of a flat disc, in particular a wing-like shape. Such a disk structure makes it possible in an advantageous manner to position the respective position-secure component in the interior of the ring member at a desired height distance from the respective housing part, when this disk structure is erected on the housing part and facing this with one or more of its free outwardly projecting Abstützflügeln supported.

Conveniently, the support wings are mounted around the outer periphery of the inner ring member as substantially helical arm portions. As a result, the support wings run rounded, so that impressions or even impressions of the respectively seated on the housing part Abstützflügels in and / or on the housing part are largely avoided. Due to their helical arm sections, the support wings have inherent elasticity and resilience, which is sufficient under a variety of practical circumstances.

According to a further expedient development of the invention, the support wings run around the ring element in the circumferential direction in such a way that their freely projecting, frontal ends lie essentially concentric with the ring element in an unloaded closed state of the position positioning element on an imaginary circular arc. In such a rotationally symmetrical structure, in particular, it is not necessary to observe a specific installation position, but such a position positioning element can be rotated arbitrarily in the circumferential direction and still retains its ability to an elongated component a unique storage location, in particular a defined free space distance to the respective housing part at at the same time assign spring-elastic storage.

Conveniently, the support wings can substantially with the same, in particular the same concave curvature orientation and / or with the same Radius of curvature be attached to the outer circumference of the ring member. As a result, viewed around the outer circumference of the ring element further unified structure of resilient support wings is provided.

In particular, it may be expedient if, in the unloaded closed state of the position-positioning element, the freely protruding end section of the respective one

Abstützflügels overhanging the next in the circumferential direction of the ring member Abstützflügel along the foot portion, in particular approximately up to the central vertex area, with a predetermined free space distance. As a result, the support wings can mutually support each other when a position positioning element of such advantageous design is subjected to a radial force from the outside.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the support wings are mounted and formed around the outer circumference of the ring member such that when placing the Lagepositionierungselements on the housing part in the touchdown area at least two adjacent support wings are springing contactable resiliently, if an external, radially inwardly acting contact force the position positioning element is applied.

It can be advantageous for equipping the position-positioning element with an elongated component, in particular, if the inner ring element is formed by at least one first arcuate-shaped stirrup element and at least one second arc-shaped stirrup element, which are hinged together and hinged together by means of a hinge, in particular a film hinge.

Conveniently, the first bracket member and the second bracket member by means of one or more locking means on their hinges facing away from the free, frontal end portions in an overlapping overlapping, in particular variable in terms of overlap length, fixed to each other. As a result, the inner diameter of the ring element can be adapted in a flexible manner to different outer diameters of one or more position-positioning, elongate components. In particular, it may be expedient if, in the closed position of the ring element, the second, annular section-shaped bracket element has a smaller radius of curvature than the first bracket element, that its free projecting, frontal end portion is substantially concentric on the free end, front end portion of the second bracket member. As a result, a largely rotationally symmetrical, in particular substantially circular cylindrical structure can be provided for the ring element.

According to an advantageous embodiment, in the positional positioning element according to the invention on the outer surface of the freely projecting, end-side end portion of the second annular section-shaped stirrup element of the inner ring element via an outwardly secant protruding web an arcuate outer bracket be mounted such that it the front end portion of the second bracket member to form a receiving gap in Essentially concentric surrounds. This makes it possible in a simple and reliable manner, to insert the free-standing, front-side end portion of the second, circular ring section-shaped bracket element in the receiving gap for closing the two circular section-shaped bracket elements. It is provided an insertion guide for the end-side end portions of the two annular section-shaped bracket elements.

Conveniently, a plurality of notches can be provided on the upper side of the first annular-section-shaped stirrup element along its freely projecting end-side end section as locking means, into which complementarily formed notches engage on the inside of the freely projecting end section of the outer stirrup in the closed position of the inner ring element (RE) , As a result, a snap-fit connection is provided with which the inner diameter of the ring element can be variably or flexibly adapted to different outer diameters of the respective elongated component in order to be able to hold or fix it sufficiently in the annular, in particular annular passage of the ring element.

In particular, it may be expedient if, on the upper side of the outer bracket, one or more support wings are shortened in such a way in relation to the support wings on the Outer jacket of the first and second annular section-shaped bracket member are provided, that the free ends of all support wings are substantially on the same imaginary circular arc concentrically around the inner ring member. As a result, it is possible to provide a largely rotationally symmetrical structure for the position-positioning element, so that it can be rotated arbitrarily in the circumferential direction while still maintaining its supporting function. It is therefore not necessary to rotate this rotationally symmetrical Lagepositionierungselement during assembly on a housing part in a very specific position position.

It may possibly already be sufficient if the respective elongated component is clamped in the interior of the inner ring element, in particular centrally, by the inner edges of the two ring-shaped section-shaped yoke elements. It can be advantageous, in particular, to additionally provide on the inner edge of the first stirrup element and / or second stirrup element of the inner ring element in its open interior one or more clamping elements, in particular clamping webs or clamping straps, for clamping the elongated component. This makes it possible to hold the respective elongate member with a better adjustable, higher clamping force. In this case, the respective clamping element may be expediently mounted such that it tapers in the closed position of the inner ring member on the hinge between the two bracket elements. In particular, a substantially rectilinearly extending clamping web can be provided on the freely projecting, end-side end portion of the second arc-shaped bow element, which in the closed position of the inner ring element relative to the circular arc portion of the second strap element along the portion of a secant, in particular by the circle center in the direction the hinge runs. In the closed position of the inner ring member can then be held between the clamping web and the inner wall of the first arc-shaped bracket member, the elongate member.

Alternatively, it may be expedient if at the hinge-facing end portions of the first arcuate portion-shaped bracket and the second arcuate portion-shaped bracket respectively an inwardly projecting clamping bar are provided such that in the closed position of the inner ring member, the two, ie two clamping webs substantially parallel to the secant by its Circle center to run on the overlap region of the free ends of the two bracket elements and clamp between each elongate member.

As a housing part, in particular at least one inner container with at least one cooling and / or freezing space, at least one outer casing part, and / or an outer container may be provided. Between the inner container and the outer

Shuttering and / or outer container may suitably a hollow body is provided, which is filled with insulation material. In an advantageous manner, the position-positioning element makes it possible for it to have at least one elongate component held in its inner ring element in the insulating material of the

Hollow body is embedding such that the elongated member in his

Arresting position is arranged at a desired distance from the housing part. For this purpose, it is the position positioning element expediently placed upright so that it is resiliently supported with at least one support wing on the housing part.

In an advantageous manner, a plastic material, in particular a flexible plastic material, may be used for the position-positioning element. This makes it easy to produce in the plastic injection process.

The invention also relates to position-positioning element for arranging an elongate component relative to at least one housing part of a refrigeration device, in particular domestic refrigeration device, in a predeterminable mounting distance, which is characterized in that the position-positioning element has an inner ring element with a plurality of arranged around the outer circumference, freely outwards having projecting Abstützflügeln, which are each formed resiliently.

Other developments of the invention are given in the dependent claims again.

FIG. 4 shows, schematically in perspective view from the rear side, an inner container IB for a refrigeration appliance KG, in particular a household refrigerating appliance, such as e.g. a refrigerator, a freezer or a refrigerator / freezer. He is here in the embodiment for mounting or its assembly with various components such. Pipelines of the refrigeration cycle of the refrigeration device KG with respect to its longitudinal extent aligned substantially horizontally. The inner container IB has a cooling compartment KF and a freezer GF arranged side by side as separate inner compartments. In order to coat the outer walls, ie the rear wall, side walls, floor and ceiling part of the inner container IB with a heat insulation material layer, one or more shuttering parts of an outer container are attached at a predetermined gap distance to the rear wall and / or to the further side walls of the inner container IB. As a result, a hollow body HK1 is formed between the outer walls of the inner container IB and one or more outer shuttering parts arranged at a predetermined distance.

FIG. 5 shows in a longitudinal section illustration the inner container of FIG. 4 with an interconnection part VT1 mounted in this way. Before this casing part VT1 is fitted around the outer walls of the inner container IB, openings or openings in the inner container IB, which serve for later installation of components of the refrigeration appliance KG, are sealed with the aid of covering means. In Fig. 1, e.g. slotted openings OF101 provided with OF103 in the two side walls of the refrigerating compartment KF. They serve the later support of support plates in the cooling compartment KF. On the other hand, a plurality of further attachment and / or built-in parts on the rear wall RW and / or one or more side walls, the underside, ceiling part, or front side of the inner container are preferably mounted even before the application of the shuttering part VT1.

Here in the embodiment are as elongated components or components more

Pipes along the entire length or a partial length along the rear wall RW of the inner container IB along. You may also partially or completely over at least one side wall, the underside or the top of the inner container IB extend. These pipes are formed in particular by suction, pressure pipes or heating pipes of the refrigeration cycle of the refrigeration unit KG. The refrigeration cycle has at least one compressor CO. This is housed here in a bottom assembly BG at the bottom of the inner container IB. In the exemplary embodiment of the compressor or compressor of the bottom assembly BG, for example, a first combined suction and / or pressure tube VL1, in particular a suction pipe with throttle line, guided over the rear wall RW of the inner container IB as the evaporator tube. In a corresponding manner, a second evaporator tube VL2 is laid there. Optionally, along one section of the rear wall, a side wall or possibly also the front wall of the inner container IB and one or more heating tubes of the compressor circuit to the door-side front of the inner container IB be relocated to avoid unwanted sweating during operation of the refrigerator. The first evaporator tube VL1 is positioned by means of several Lagepositionierungselemente LP11, LP12 in a desired altitude HO1 above the rear wall RW of the inner container IB position. In a corresponding manner, the second evaporator tube VL2 is held by means of a plurality of position-positioning elements LP21, LP22 at a distance or gap HO2 from the rear wall RW of the inner container IB. The one or more position-positioning elements are arranged distributed over the length of the respective evaporator tube. On the underside of the inner container IB, the two evaporator tubes VL1, VL2 are held by means of a common positioning element LP2 as a group at a distance from the underside of the inner container IB.

In addition, an electrical supply line or an electrical cable CA is laid along the side wall of the inner container IB which is visible on the front side in FIG. 4. It serves to supply energy to the floor assembly BG. This electrical power supply cable CA is also held at a height distance from the side wall of the inner container IB with the aid of a position-positioning element LP3. The one or more position-positioning elements for the respective pipeline and / or electrical energy supply line serve these different, elongated components with different outer diameters at a predetermined minimum height distance from the respective outer wall of the inner container IB and gap, ie with a defined gap distance from the outer casing part VT1 Hollow body HK1 to hold. With the help of this Lagepositionierungselemente so the respective elongated component in the interior of the hollow body HK1 positioned such that a concern or touching this elongated member with a wall portion of the inner container IB and / or with the outer casing part VT1 is largely avoided. Will now the hollow body HK1 after laying and securing the position of the elongated components, such. B. VL1, VL2, CA, filled with a liquid precursor of the insulating material IM and the hollow body HK1 after the foaming process of the insulating material of this largely completely filled, so are the elongated components such. B. VL1, VL2, CA embedded substantially all around hardened insulation material IM. This reliably prevents unwanted heat transfer to and / or away from these elongated components. By enclosing or wrapping with insulation material IM in particular a concern eg the suction tube VL1, VL2 be avoided on a wall portion of the inner container IB, which could otherwise lead to unwanted tires. In a corresponding manner, a contacting of the respective evaporator tube, in particular suction tube with the outer casing part or outer container VT1 is avoided, which could otherwise lead to undesirable sweating on the evaporator tube, in particular intake manifold. Furthermore, the energy efficiency in the refrigeration cycle is increased by the sheathing with insulation material of the respective evaporator tube. Due to the fact that the electrical supply line for the compressor or the control electronics in the bottom assembly BG, or a measuring line such. B. are positioned for a temperature sensor in or on the inner container by one or more Lagepositionierungselemente so in the foaming process of the insulating material in the hollow body HK1 that they are completely encased after curing of the insulating material IM, their functionality is largely ensured. If z. B. a measuring line from a temperature sensor to a temperature controller is so encased in insulating material, unwanted temperature transfers from the inner container or the outer container to the measuring line are largely avoided, which could lead to a misadjustment of the temperature in the inner container of the refrigerator.

In the longitudinal sectional view of Figure 5, for example, the suction pipe VL 1, which leads from the evaporator back to the compressor CO, by means of the two Lagepositionierungselemente LP1 1, LP12 in a defined height distance or gap distance HO1 to the wall parts of the inner container IB and in a defined gap distance H02 held to the wall parts of the outer casing part VT1. It is thus surrounded by insulation material IM all around.

In order to ensure, even with varying wall thicknesses of the insulating material layer and / or with different dimensions, in particular at different diameters of components to be embedded in the insulating material layer, different weights of these components and other varying installation conditions in a simple manner that these elongated components with a defined distance from the wall parts of Inner container and / or come to rest on wall parts of the outer container or outer casing part, the respective Lagepositionierungselement an inner ring member having a plurality of arranged around its outer periphery, freely projecting outwardly, resilient Abstützflügeln. Figure 1 shows schematically and enlarged in perspective a first embodiment of such a position-positioning element LPE. It has, in a first approximation, an open and disk-shaped, wing-wheel-like structure. It is aligned upright and sits with at least one support wing such as LKn on a support surface AF of a wall portion of the inner container IB. Its central axis MA runs in a positional plane substantially parallel to the support surface AF in a defined height position HO. The inner ring element RE is composed of a first arcuate section-shaped yoke element RB1 and a second arcuate section-shaped yoke element RB2, which are designed to be hinged by means of a hinge SC, in particular film hinge, for inserting the elongated component LB to be retained. Here in the performance example of FIG. 1, the two arcuate section elements RB 1, RB 2 are folded into the interior IR of the ring element RE after insertion of the position-positioning elongate component LB and fixed to one another at their end-side end sections ST1, ST2 by means of locking means, in particular a toothed catch. In detail, the second annular section-shaped bracket RB2 has a radius of curvature smaller than the first annular section-shaped bracket section RB1 such that its freely projecting, front-side end section ST1 essentially protrudes on a freely projecting, end-side end section ST2 of the second annular section-shaped bracket section RB2 in the closed position of the inner ring element concentric. In the closed position of the inner ring element RE, the front end portions ST1, ST2 of the two overlap annular section-shaped bracket elements RB1, RB2 together. Their overlapping area is arranged opposite the hinge SC. In the closed position of the inner ring element RE, this essentially has a circular-cylindrical geometry shape. On the outer almond of the freely projecting, end-side end portion of the second annular section-shaped bracket element RB2 an arcuate outer bracket AB is attached via an outwardly secant protruding web ST such that it surrounds the end-side end portion ST1 of the first bracket member RB1 substantially concentric in the closed position of the inner ring element RE , in particular encompasses. On the upper side of the first annular section-shaped stirrup element RB1, detents VZ1, in particular toothed ribs, are provided along the end-face end section, into which complementary shaped detents VZ2, in particular toothed ribs, engage on the inside of the freely protruding end section of the outer bracket AB in the closed position of the inner ring element RE. The inner ring element RE thus forms in its closed position a kind of annularly curved, self-contained lamella. The elastic support wings LA1 are integrally formed with LAN around their outer sheath offset from each other by approximately the same circumferential angle. The respective support wing LA1 with LAN has a lamellar geometry shape. The support wings form around the outer circumference of the inner ring member RE spiral arm sections. They run in the circumferential direction around the ring element bent so that their freely projecting, frontal ends SK1 with SKn substantially on an imaginary circular arc FAK (see Figure 3) are concentric with the ring element RE. In this case, the respective support wing LA1 extends with LAn around an associated outer circumferential section of the ring element RE. All support wings LA1 with LAn are formed substantially with the same, in particular concave curvature orientation and the same radius of curvature on the outer circumference of the ring element RE. On the entry side and / or exit side of the position positioning element LPE for the elongated component LB, the longitudinal side edges LK1 with LKN of the lamellar support wings LA1 with LAN are arranged together with the end edge SR1 of the inner ring element RE essentially in a common layer plane. As a result, the position-positioning element LPE has a paddle wheel-like disc or wheel structure. By this free outwardly projecting, curved along a peripheral portion extending or bent, elastic wings, the Langepositionierungselement LPE remains flexible in itself, ie resilient. As a result, there may be contact forces F (see FIG. 3) For example, during the manufacturing process of the insulation material IM during the manufacturing process in the radial direction on the Lagepositionierungselement LPE act, largely intercept or cushion. If z. B. during Aufschäumungsprozess for the insulating material, a contact force acts from above on such a trained, edgewise Lagepositionierungselement, it can yield resiliently and intercept this contact force far enough that impressions of Lagepositionierungselements on and / or in the wall portion of the inner container and / or the outer container are largely avoided. Due to the elastic resilience of the support wings so undue stress or even damage to the inner container and / or the outer container of the refrigerator are largely avoided.

Characterized in that the resilient support wings LA1 are formed with LAn as a concave curved lamellar elements, the Lagepositionierungselement LPE can yield as a whole in the radial direction when it is acted upon by a radially inwardly acting contact force F. By virtue of its curved geometry of curvature, the supporting wing which is respectively supported on the support surface AF can be supported there with a largely plane-like contact surface. The greater the respective contact force F introduced in each case, the greater the contact surface with which the support wing resting on the support surface AF rests. As a result, the introduced, acting in the radial direction contact force can be largely absorbed, so that any imprints of the contacting support wing on and / or in the support surface AF of the respective wall part are largely avoided.

On the upper side of the outer bracket AB, one or more support wings LAi, LAi + 1, LAi + 2 are provided so shortened with respect to the support wings LA1 with LAn on the outer jacket of the first and second annular section-shaped bracket RB1, RB2, that the free ends of all support wings LA1 with LAn , LAi, LAi + 1, LAi + 2 lie substantially on the same imaginary circular arc FAK concentrically around the inner ring element RE. This imaginary circular arc FAK is also shown in phantom in the side view of Figure 3.

In the unloaded state of Figure 1, the respective support wings such as LA1 overhangs the next in the circumferential direction of the ring element RE support wings such as LA2 along its foot section such as FU2. Accordingly, the foot portion FU1 of the first support wing LA1 is surmounted by the counter-clockwise preceding support wing LAn. In this case, the respectively adjacent Abstützflügel a transverse distance FAS, ie a predefined gap or a gap from each other. By this overlap or overhang of two circumferentially successive Abstützflügel is particularly ensured that these two support wings mutually support each other. Here in the exemplary embodiment are each two adjacent Abstützflügel far enough that the Lagepositionierungselement LPE with the end-side faces of at least two adjacent Abstützflügel on the support surface AF gets up and contacts them. As a result, the stability of the position-positioning element in relation to the embodiment variant is advantageously improved in that only a single support wing contacts the contact surface AF. In the unloaded state of the position-positioning element LPE, in each case a first support wing such as LA1 projects beyond a second support wing adjacent to its direction of curvature KR such as LA2 on the outer shell of the ring element RE such that the freely protruding end SK1 of the first support wing such as LA1 at least the foot section such as FU2 overlaps the direction of curvature KR KR second support wing LA2. In particular, the overlapping of the first support wing LA1 extends approximately into the central vertex area of the second, next support wing LA2. Upon application of a radial contact force, this overlap area increases, so that the contact area of those support wings which contact the support surface AF is increased. In this way, an introduced radial contact pressure F is distributed more uniformly on the support surface AF, whereby any unacceptable stresses or even damage to the support surface AF are largely avoided.

In order to hold the elongate member LB largely centrally in the interior of the inner ring element RE, at least one clamping element, in particular a clamping web or a clamping flap KL, is provided on the outer end edge of the second yoke element RB2 of the inner ring element RE, which extends radially inwards into Direction of the film hinge SC to extend. This additional clamping element extends substantially rectilinearly, in particular approximately over the center of the ring element RE away. Between its free end and the hinge SC a defined gap clearance DO is present. The clamping element KL is essentially designed as a flat cuboid, resilient blade. The elongated component LB is clamped non-positively between this clamping element KL and the inner wall of the first bracket member RB1 in an approximately central position, ie held. In this clamping position, the elongated component LB has a defined height distance HO relative to the surface of the support surface AF.

Figure 2 shows, in a schematic plan view, the position positioning element of LPE of Figure 1 in the opened, i.e. unfolded state of the two annular bracket elements RB1, RB2. As a result, an insertion gap between the front ends of these two bracket elements RB1, RB2 is present, through which the elongate member LB can be inserted in a simple and comfortable manner in the trough-shaped receiving chamber of the circular arc segment-shaped first bracket element RB1. To close the ring element RE, the front end of the first yoke element RB1 is moved toward the front end of the second yoke element RB2 and inserted into an incision or a recess EN between the outer yoke AB and the end section ST2 of the second yoke element RB2. There grip on the upper side of the first annular section-shaped bracket element RB1 detents VZ1 in complementary formed notches VZ2 on the inside of the freely projecting end portion of the outer bracket. By this Verzahnungsverrastung the inner diameter of the inner ring member RE can be adjusted in a simple manner to the outer diameter of the component to be held, that this is frictionally, frictionally and / or positively held. In particular, the radial holding force or clamping force on the elongate member LB in the desired manner by adjusting the overlap length of the two end-side end portions ST1, ST2 of the bracket elements RB1, RB2 be set so tight that this reliable in its substantially central position position between the clamping element KL and the inner edge of the first bracket member RB1 is held in a non-positive manner.

The schematic side view of Figure 3 shows the Lagepositionierungselement LPE finally in the closed state under the action of the outer radial contact force F. The elongate member LB in the interior of the ring member RE has been omitted for the sake of clarity of drawing. Under the effect of the radial contact force F, the upstanding on the support surface AF give Abstützflügel AF1 AFn resiliently so that they are flattened and have an enlarged contact surface against the unloaded state of the Lagepositionierungselements. As a result, the contact force F can largely be compensated or compensated, so that undesired impressions, other impairments or even damage to and / or in the support surface AF are largely avoided.

The clamping bar KL, which is provided at the freely projecting front end ST2 of the second circular arc portion-shaped bracket RB2, extends in the closed position of the inner ring element RE with respect to the circular arc portion of the second bracket element RB2 along the section of a secant, in particular by the circle center, in the direction of the Hinge SC too.

The clamping web KL forms a resilient clamping element, which can deflect relative to its base at the front end ST2 of the second bracket RB2 when inserting the elongated member LB towards the inner edge of the second bracket element RB2, when the elongate member LB has a larger outer diameter than the maximum inner width between the clamping bar KL and the inner edge of the first bracket element RB1 is. In this case, the clamping element KL exerts a lateral contact force on the elongated component LB perpendicular to its longitudinal extent.

Possibly. It can also be expedient to provide in each case an inwardly projecting clamping web KL1, KL2 on the ends of the first arc-shaped bow element RB1 facing the hinge SC and of the second arc-shaped bow element RB2. Such a modified position-positioning element is shown schematically in plan view in the opened state in FIG. 6 and designated by LPE ^* . FIG. 7 shows this modified position-positioning element LPE ^* schematically in a side view in its closed position. In the closed position of the inner ring element RE, the two clamping webs KL1, KL2 extend substantially parallel to the secant through the center of the circle to the overlapping region of the free ends of the two brackets RB1, RB2. They are thus articulated on both sides by the hinge SC at the hinge-side end of the first bracket element RB1 and at the hinge-side end of the second bracket element RB2. They extend essentially in a straight line in the direction of the overlapping area or toothing area of the two Ironing elements RB1, RB2 and while running substantially parallel to each other. Between these two resilient clamping webs KL1, KL2, the elongate component LB can be improved with respect to the first variant of Figures 1 with 3 clamped because a higher, lateral clamping force can be applied perpendicular to their contact surfaces by the two clamping webs KL1, KL2.

In the opened state of the modified Lagepositionierungselements LPE ^* , the two clamping webs KL1, KL2 V-shaped to each other, so that through the inlet opening of the two moved-apart ironing elements RB1, RB2 the clamped component can be inserted in a simple manner. Due to the V-shaped arrangement of the two clamping webs of the clamping area between them is easily accessible.

Possibly. it is also possible to clamp several, in particular two elongated components LB between these two clamping webs KL1, KL2.

In this way, a position-positioning element is provided, with which one or more elongated components, such as pipes, cables or electrical lines of a household refrigerating appliance can be fixed in a simple and reliable manner. This is particularly advantageous if a defined height distance or transverse distance to a wall part is required for these elongated components. This is the case, for example, in the hollow body of a household refrigerating appliance in which a liquid insulating material is filled and cured. These elongated components are embedded in a solid insulating material layer around its outer periphery after curing of the insulating material. As a result, a temperature transfer to and / or from the inner container of the household refrigerating appliance as well as from and / or to an outer wall is largely avoided. For example, if it is an evaporator tube, it is largely avoided that it can cause a tire due to too close concern to the inner container or sweating due to too close positioning on the outer container. If the elongated component is formed by a measuring line or a control line such as for a temperature controller, so distortions in the temperature setting are largely avoided. Due to the flexibility of the position-positioning element, its outer diameter can be variably adjusted for a possibly radially acting contact pressure force. As a result, the position-positioning element can be divided into different wall thicknesses Insert insulation material layer. The outer resilient lamellar support wings thus allow variable wall thicknesses of the insulation material. The wall thickness of the insulating material may be different thickness at different locations of the insulating material layer. It is largely avoided that due to the force during foaming of the hollow body with insulation material imprints or other damage to the inner and outer walls of the hollow body may arise. The lamellar support wings can be adapted in their shape and the outer diameter of the respective installation conditions. Due to the open construction of the position-positioning element and the small wall thickness of the support wings and of the ring element, it is possible to ensure a largely unhindered foam flow of the liquid precursor of the insulation material during the respective foaming operation, so that air pockets or voids are largely avoided. Due to the fact that the two bracket elements adjoining each other via a hinge are provided by means of an end-face toothed lock, elongate components with different outside diameters can be clamped in the interior of the ring element in the desired manner by adapting the inside diameter of the ring element. It may be particularly expedient to provide one or more clamping strap or additional clamping webs, which are provided on the first and / or second bracket member and protrude into the interior of the ring member. By appropriate choice of the geometry of the respective additional clamping bracket and / or the two bracket elements can be produced for a festzuklemmendes component in each case a matching mounting frame. In particular, the diameter of the clamping chamber in the inner ring element can be variably adjusted by means of a Sägezahnrastung or Verzahnungsverrastung on the two bracket elements that for different outer diameter of different elongated components clamping between the two bracket elements is possible. In particular, the inner diameter in the clamping space between the first clamping element and the inner edge of the ring element according to the first embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3 or in the clamping space between the two clamping elements according to the second embodiment of Figures 6, 7 is equal to or smaller than the outer diameter of the respective elongated Component selected.

In this way, with the same type of position-positioning element different thickness elongated components can be clamped and positioned position. Thus, a single type of position-positioning element can already be sufficient in order to sufficiently clamp different elongate components at a desired distance from the wall part under a large number of practical circumstances. Additional bonding of the respective component to the position-positioning element is no longer necessary. The elimination of adhesive tapes and the assembly of the elongated components is simplified. Since the positional elements to be clamped components always specified in a clear or defined manner, a certain distance from the associated wall portion of the household refrigeration appliance, there is also a high level of manufacturing safety. In particular, due to the compressibility of the wing elements, different wall thicknesses of the insulating material can be largely compensated for, without resulting in impermissible impressions or impressions of the position positioning elements in the respective wall part. In addition, different components such as evaporator tubes, in particular suction and pressure pipes of the refrigeration cycle, heating pipe sections, electrical cables and lines, etc. can be clamped in a simple and reliable manner with the respective position positioning element and fixed with respect to their position. In particular, two or more elongated components, which are the same or different, can also be brought into a desired positional position in the position-positioning element.
