Description

Domestic refrigerator with a moisture-proof final

Kühlgutschublade

The invention relates to a household refrigerating appliance, comprising a thermally insulated inner container, which has two opposite side walls, a bottom wall and a ceiling wall, and a rear wall defining a storage space for refrigerated goods, which is accessible via a movably mounted with respect to the inner container door leaf, and comprising at least one arranged in the storage space between the two opposite side walls shelf, which forms a Absteilfläche for the refrigerated goods, and in the storage space between a closed position and an open position slidably mounted Kühlgutschublade having a limited by at least one drawer wall drawer space.

DE 10 2009 029 141 A1 describes a refrigerator, in particular domestic refrigeration appliance, with a storage space and a container separated from the storage space, wherein at least one closure part of the container is adjustable between an open and a closed position, and wherein the container in the open position of Closure parts communicates with a high pressure area and a low pressure area of the storage room. In this case, a horizontally movably guided slide is provided, wherein the one of a cover or the slider has an oblique guide contour and the other has a cooperating with the guide contour and relative to the guide contour displaceable element.

The object of the invention is to provide a household refrigeration appliance with an improved refrigerated goods drawer, in particular with an improved and / or simplified adjustment of the degree of moisture in a drawer space of the refrigerated goods drawer.

The object is achieved by a household refrigeration appliance, comprising a thermally insulated inner container having two opposite side walls, a bottom wall and a ceiling wall, and a rear wall which define a storage space for refrigerated goods, which is accessible via a movable relative to the inner container door leaf, as well as having at least one shelf arranged in the storage space between the two opposite side walls, which holds a storage space. che forms the refrigerated goods, and in the storage space slidably mounted between a closed position and an open position Kühlgutschublade having a limited by at least one drawer wall drawer space in which the Kühlgutschublade is formed to seal in its closed position with a bottom of the shelf dense complete the drawer room moisture-proof.

The inner container, in particular the side walls, the bottom wall and the top wall, and the rear wall can be made as a deep-drawn, one-piece plastic component. The door leaf can be mounted by means of hinge fittings pivotally mounted on a body or on the inner container of the household refrigerator. The shelf can be formed by a flat, in the inner container in a horizontal plane extending plate whose top forms the Absteilfläche, can be placed or stored on the refrigerated goods. The shelf may in particular have a glass plate or be formed alone by a flat glass plate.

The refrigerated goods drawer is displaceably mounted within the inner container, ie in the storage space between a closed position and an open position. In the respective open position, the refrigerated goods drawer can be pulled out so far, in particular be pulled out to a solid stop that the drawer space for removal and loading of all types of refrigerated goods, especially of lettuce, vegetables and fruits is accessible. By the Kühlgutschublade is formed to seal in its closed position with a bottom of the shelf to complete the drawer space moisture-proof, either in the closed position of the refrigerated goods drawer a wet drawer space can be provided or with opened refrigerated goods drawer, especially in a ventilation position adjusted Kühlgutschublade a dry drawer space ready be presented. In addition, special flaps, actuators or separate lid for opening or closing the drawer space can be completely eliminated. In that regard, characterized in that the Kühlgutschublade is formed to seal in its closed position with a bottom of the shelf to complete the drawer space moisture-proof, a cost-effective technical solution can be created by the in the drawer space either a humid climate or a dry climate can be adjusted.

The refrigerated goods drawer can also be referred to as a bowl, which is suitable for storage in particular of vegetables and fruits. The refrigerated goods drawer or the shell is formed closed-walled, ie the shell body, in particular two lateral drawer walls, a drawer front, a rear drawer wall and a drawer bottom can be formed together geschlossenwandig and insofar apart from an upward-facing basic shell opening for loading and unloading of the refrigerated goods no have further openings. The rear wall of the refrigerated goods drawer may in particular be designed to extend horizontally. Alternatively, however, the rear wall can also have any arbitrary course or any desired contour. However, it should be ensured that this course or this contour makes it possible that the rear wall of the underside of the shelf can follow, in order to complete the drawer space moisture-tight in the closed position. The shell body of the refrigerated goods drawer is to form a closed unit with the overlying shelf in directly superposed case of the closed position. This means that the front wall, the two side walls and the rear wall of the refrigerated goods drawer are in particular in direct contact with the underside of the compartment above to prevent moisture loss from the drawer space. An additional component, such as a movably mounted lid is not required. According to the invention takes over the shelf above the function of a lid for the refrigerated goods drawer. Since the shelf is so far fixed in the household refrigerator, moisture regulation in the drawer space by adjusting the position and / or distance of the refrigerated goods drawer from the shelf, in particular by opening and closing the Kühlgutschublade. In the closed position, a humid room climate forms in the drawer space. In the ventilation position, moisture can escape from the drawer compartment even when the door leaf is closed, so that a dry climate can form in the drawer compartment. The shelf located directly above the refrigerated goods drawer may be in particular a glass plate, a plastic plate or an aluminum plate. The refrigerated goods drawer can have a seal running along an upper edge of the at least one drawer wall, which in the closed position of the refrigerated goods drawer touches the underside of the shelf in a touching manner. The seal may be formed directly on the upper edge of the drawer wall, for example when the refrigerated goods drawer is formed as a thermoplastic plastic component and the seal is formed as a particular elastomeric sealing lip on the plastic component. Alternatively, the upper edge of the at least one drawer wall, for example, have a groove in which a separate sealing cord is inserted.

In one embodiment variant, the refrigerated goods drawer may have a drawer front with a rear side which, in the closed position of the refrigerated goods drawer, is in contact with a front end side of the shelf. In this embodiment, the refrigerated goods drawer on an inner side of a shell panel or the drawer front may have an identical contour to the end face of the shelf. This results in a contact surface of the back of the drawer front to the front side of the shelf. A moisture-proof seal can be effected by direct contact from the rear side of the drawer front to the end face of the shelf, or a separate sealing section can be interposed. Alternatively, for example, a particularly soft additional component can be plugged onto the end face of the shelf, so that this component, for example an extruded plastic profile, effects an optimized seal against moisture loss.

The refrigerated goods drawer can have a sealing section at its rear side of the drawer front, which faces the front end of the shelf, at the level of the front side of the shelf so that it contacts the front of the shelf in the closed position of the refrigerated goods drawer. Alternatively, the shelf at its the rear of the drawer front of the refrigerated goods drawer facing front side have a seal, which is present in the closed position of the refrigerated goods drawer touching the back of the drawer front. For this purpose, the seal can be fastened separately, for example, either as a sealing strip which can be attached to the front edge of the shelf, in particular a glass shelf, or the seal can be made in one piece with a plastic frame with which the shelf, in particular the glass shelf, is encapsulated. In a first sealing variant, the seal can be equipped with a single elastic sealing lip which extends along the end face of the shelf and protrudes elastically in the direction of the drawer front.

In a second sealing variant, the seal may be provided with a plurality of, in particular three, mutually parallel elastic sealing lips. These elastic sealing lips can extend along the end face of the shelf and project elastically in the direction of the drawer front.

In a third seal variant, the seal may be formed with a solid profile having an arcuate in cross-section extending elastic surface. In each seal variant, the respective elastic sealing lip or the elastic surface may be formed integrally with a plastic profile which can be attached to the shelf or with the overmolded frame. Alternatively, in each seal variant, the respective elastic sealing lip or the elastic surface can be produced as a separate sealing component and connected to a plastic profile which can be attached to the shelf or to the overmolded frame. To connect the separate seal with the shelf or the frame, the separate seal can be glued to the shelf or the frame or inserted or clamped behind a recess on the shelf or the frame form-fitting.

In the various embodiments, the seal can thus be integrated into a complete glass plate extrusion coating as well as integrated into a separate glass plate front profile. The glass plate front profile can be, for example, an extrusion profile. There are also different embodiments of sealing profiles possible, for example, with one or more sealing lips, which may be made of the base material or in two-component technology. For molded or molded sealing lips, a sealing and damping lip cavity can be integrated into the injection molding or extruder tool. The sealing lip can either be made in one piece from the same material of the encapsulation of the glass sheet or be sprayed in the two-component process with a second material. Subsequent inserted sealing and damping lips, such as rubber seals, can be subsequently inserted into a groove. So that a good sealing effect can be achieved, any gaps that may be present at other locations of the refrigerated goods drawer can also be sealed off. For example, a seal can be made on the glass plate support on the inner container, in the area from the side wall of the refrigerated goods drawer to the shelf and / or towards the drawer front. For this purpose, further constructional measures can be provided, for example lateral sealing flaps and walls which generate a stagnant air. Alternatively, guides and the like may be provided for sealing.

In a first embodiment, the refrigerated goods drawer may have two opposite side drawer walls and a rear drawer wall opposite the drawer front, the two side drawer walls and the rear drawer wall being formed at a constant height to form a top edge extending in a common horizontal plane. The refrigerated goods drawer can be designed in this respect as a generally known standard drawer.

In another embodiment variant, the refrigerated goods drawer may have two opposite side drawer walls and a rear drawer wall opposite the drawer front, the two side drawer walls each starting from the drawer front in the direction of the rear drawer wall having a sloping, in particular linearly sloping upper edge. In other words, the overall height of the refrigerated goods drawer decreases starting from the drawer front in the direction of the rear drawer wall. The side drawer walls can fall off in a defined slope from the shell front side to the shell rear side, in particular in a straight line.

The defined slope of the side walls and the matching bevel of webs on the shelf ensures that the refrigerated goods drawer has contact with the shelf only in the closed position and thus no abrasion and noise between side walls of the refrigerated goods drawer and the shelf.

In a further embodiment, the refrigerated goods drawer may have two opposite side drawer walls and a rear drawer wall opposite the drawer front, and at least one side wall insert separate from the refrigerated goods drawer may be provided, which is at an upper edge of the lateral Drawer walls and / or attached to an upper edge of the rear drawer wall.

The at least one separate side wall insert may be configured to compensate for an oblique and / or stepped course of an immediate top edge of the refrigerated goods drawer formed directly by the shape of the side drawer walls and / or the rear drawer wall of the refrigerated goods drawer such that the at least one separate sidewall insert newly formed upper edge of the refrigerated goods drawer has an at least substantially or even completely straight, in particular horizontal course. By means of the at least one separate sidewall insert, therefore, a refrigerated goods drawer which is initially unsuitable for moisture-tight sealing can be converted so that new top edges of the refrigerated goods drawer are formed by upper longitudinal edges of the sidewall inserts whose course for moisture-tight sealing of the refrigerated goods drawer with the underside of the shelf is now formed. For example, compared to the upper edge of the rear drawer wall and the drawer front lying at a lower level upper edges of the side drawer walls can be increased by two patch on the left and right lateral side wall of the refrigerated goods drawer sidewall inserts so far that the upper edges of the side wall inserts, so the new upper edges with the side wall inserts combined refrigerated goods drawer, at least approximately or even completely the same height as the rear drawer wall and the drawer front.

To attach the at least one separate side wall insert to the refrigerated goods drawer, the at least one separate side wall insert can have a latching means which fixes the side wall insert in a positive-locking and / or force-locking manner on the refrigerated drawer. Between the side wall insert and the original upper edge of the refrigerated goods drawer, a seal can be arranged which seals a moisture-tight gap formed between the side wall insert and the refrigerated goods drawer. The latching means may be designed for non-destructively detachable fastening of the separate side wall insert to the refrigerated goods drawer. So the separate page wall insert, for example, for the purpose of cleaning manually released by a user from the refrigerated goods drawer and reapplied.

For this purpose, the shelf can have two downwardly pointing shelf side walls and / or a downwardly facing shelf back wall, which have lower edges whose course are respectively adapted to the upper edges of the side drawer walls or the upper edge of the rear drawer wall, so that these lower edges in the closed position of Kühlgutschublade at least contour near or touching, especially with the interposition of a seal, the respective upper edges of the refrigerated goods drawer. The two downwardly facing shelf side walls and / or the downwardly facing shelf back wall may be formed as separate from the shelf components that are moisture-tight connected to the shelf. Alternatively, the two downwardly facing shelf sidewalls and / or the downwardly facing shelf back wall may be formed integrally with the shelf. On the shelf so far lateral webs can be mounted on both sides, which have identical straight bevels, such as the refrigerated goods drawer. These webs, i. the shelf side walls and / or the downwardly facing shelf back wall can either as separate parts, such as plastic injection molded parts, on the storage level, i. be attached to the shelf, or already be manufactured directly as a component. This may be particularly useful if the shelf is designed as a plastic plate or a frame with a plastic encapsulated glass plates, so that an assembly of their own webs, especially shelf side walls and / or the downwardly facing shelf back wall is no longer required.

In one embodiment, in which the downwardly facing shelf side walls and the downwardly facing shelf back wall are plugged as separate parts on the storage level, ie the shelf, the two downwardly facing shelf side walls and the downwardly facing shelf back wall may be formed as a one-piece sidewall frame, which is attached to the shelf manually detachable. The two downwardly pointing shelf side walls and the downwardly facing shelf back wall can thus form a one-sided open to the drawer front, so far U-shaped frame which is connected by one or more fasteners to the shelf, which fastening means the side wall frame form-fitting and / or positively fixed to the shelf. The attachment means may be configured for non-destructively releasable attachment of the separate side wall frame to the shelf. For example, for the purpose of cleaning, the separate sidewall frame may be manually released from the shelf by a user and reattached. Between the side wall insert and the underside of the shelf, a seal can be arranged, which seals a gap formed between the side wall frame and the shelf moisture-tight.

The at least one fastening means may be a hook fastened to the side wall frame, in particular integrally formed with the side wall frame, which laterally embraces the shelf from below and rests positively on an edge portion of the upper side of the shelf. Alternatively or additionally, the attachment means may be formed by at least one pin and a tab cooperating with the pin. For example, the shelf at its left and right side edge each have a tab which has a hole. The side wall frame can have two laterally extending away from each other pins. In assembled tray and sidewall frame assembly, the pins of the sidewall frame extending away from each other pin into the holes in the shelf.

In a special sealing variant, which is designed to seal the closed Kühlgutschublade against the shelf moisture-tight, a front edge of the shelf against the drawer front sealing sealing may be provided, which is formed on an elastic coating, which at least partially or even a front handle of the refrigerated goods drawer completely surrounds. The seal can be designed to be released manually from the handle of the refrigerated goods drawer, in particular to be released without damage and to attach again. The shelf may have a bottom surface made of glass. The Absteilfläche of glass may include the contour of the Absteilfläche or the contour of the glass plate Frame, in particular plastic frame. In the case of a plastic frame, the shelf may be overmolded by the plastic frame. The frame, in particular the plastic frame may have one or more ventilation openings, which can be covered or released by an adjustable slide. The slide and / or the ventilation openings can be arranged on a front edge of the frame, in particular of the plastic frame. The slider may be adjustably mounted on the front edge of the frame, in particular of the plastic frame. The slider can for this purpose have a handle portion. In a closed position of the slide closing the ventilation openings, the ventilation openings are closed at least largely or even completely moistureproof. In an open position of the slider, in which the ventilation openings are at least partially or even completely released, moisture can escape from the refrigerated goods drawer via the ventilation openings or, if necessary, penetrate into the refrigerated goods drawer from the outside. The refrigerated goods drawer can be stored in the inner container by a storage device which is designed to keep the refrigerated goods drawer stable in a lying between the open position and the closed position ventilation position in which the storage space is closed by means of the door panel.

For this purpose, the storage device may have a projection, which dives in the ventilation position of the refrigerated goods drawer in a corresponding recess to keep the refrigerated goods drawer stable in the ventilation position.

In a first variant, the projection can be arranged on the refrigerated goods drawer or on a component of the storage device firmly connected to the refrigerated goods drawer and the corresponding depression in the bottom wall of the inner container, on a component of the storage device permanently connected to the inner container, in particular a pull-out rail or be provided on the shelf.

In a second variant, the depression can be arranged on the refrigerated goods drawer or on a component of the storage device which is fixedly connected to the refrigerated goods drawer and the corresponding projection in the bottom wall of the inner container a permanently connected to the inner container component of the storage device, in particular a pull-out rail or be provided on the shelf.

For the user, the unique ventilation position can be determined by corresponding mechanical depressions or elevations, in particular in the guide region of the refrigerated goods drawer. For example, depressions can be provided in the guide rails or in the bottom of the refrigerated goods container. These can, depending on the type of shell guide, for example, running on the refrigerated goods container bottom running on external plastic guide rails, with full or partial extracts or running on a glass plate, accordingly be positioned differently.
