Description

Beschreibung Einbau-Kältegerät Description built-in refrigerator

[001] Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät für den Einbau in eine Möbelnische, mit einem Korpus und einer Tür, die einen thermisch isolierten Innenraum umschließen.The present invention relates to a refrigerator for installation in a furniture niche, with a body and a door that enclose a thermally insulated interior.

[002] Üblicherweise ist bei derartigen Kältegeräten, wenn sie in eine Möbelnische eingebaut sind, die Tür durch eine nachträglich montierte Dekorplatte verdeckt, die in ihrem Erscheinungsbild an die Türen benachbarter Schrankelemente von Einbaumöbeln einer Küchenzeile angepasst ist und meist aus dem gleichen Material wie diese gefertigt ist, so dass für einen unkundigen Benutzer von außen nicht erkennbar ist, an welcher Stelle in einer mehrtürigen Schrankwand das Kältegerät angeordnet ist.Usually, in such refrigeration devices, if they are installed in a furniture niche, the door is covered by a retrofitted decorative panel, which is adapted in appearance to the doors of adjacent cabinet elements of built-in furniture in a kitchen unit and is usually made of the same material as this is, so that an unfamiliar user cannot see from the outside at which point the refrigerator is arranged in a multi-door cabinet wall.

[003] Ein weiteres Problem ist, dass bei einem Einbaugerät im Vergleich zu einem Tischgerät die Raumausnutzung vergleichsweise ineffizient ist. Das Bruttovolumen des Einbaugeräts kann nicht größer sein als das Volumen der Möbelnische, in der es montiert ist. Dieses letztere Volumen kann jedoch nicht einmal komplett ausgenutzt werden, denn um das Gerät montieren zu können, müssen alle Abmessungen seines Gehäuses etwas kleiner sein als die entsprechenden Abmessungen der Möbelnische. Zur Verdeutlichung wird auf die beifügte Fig. 1 verwiesen, die ein herkömmliches Einbau-Kältegerät in einer Möbelnische zeigt.Another problem is that the space utilization is comparatively inefficient in a built-in device compared to a table device. The gross volume of the built-in appliance cannot be greater than the volume of the furniture niche in which it is mounted. However, this latter volume cannot even be fully utilized, because in order to be able to assemble the device, all dimensions of its housing must be slightly smaller than the corresponding dimensions of the furniture niche. For clarification, reference is made to the attached Fig. 1, which shows a conventional built-in refrigerator in a furniture niche.

[004] Die durch Seitenwände 1 und eine Rückwand 2 begrenzte Möbelnische hat eine vordere Kante 3, an der die Dekorplatte 4 mit Hilfe eines Scharniers 5 gelenkig befestigt ist. Das Kältegerät, im Wesentlichen aufgebaut aus einem Korpus 6 und einer Tür 7, darf über die vordere Kante 3 nicht vorspringen, da anderenfalls die Dekorplatte 4 nicht die in der Figur gestrichelt dargestellte geschlossene Stellung einnehmen kann. Die Tür 7 ist über ein eigenes Scharnier 8 mit dem Korpus 6 verbunden. Um zu erreichen, dass sich auch die Tür 7 öffnet, wenn ein Benutzer die Dekorplatte 4 in die durchgezogen dargestellte offene Stellung schwenkt, ist von Dekorplatte 4 und Tür 7 eine mit einer horizontal orientierten Schiene und die andere mit einem entlang der Schiene verschiebbaren Gleiter 9 versehen, der die Schiene umgreift und eine Zugkraft auf die Tür 7 überträgt, eine horizontale Verschiebung von Dekorplatte 4 und Tür 7 während des Schwenkens aber zulässt.The furniture niche limited by side walls 1 and a rear wall 2 has a front edge 3, to which the decorative panel 4 is articulated by means of a hinge 5. The refrigerator, essentially constructed from a body 6 and a door 7, must not protrude beyond the front edge 3, since otherwise the decorative plate 4 cannot assume the closed position shown in dashed lines in the figure. The door 7 is connected to the body 6 via a separate hinge 8. In order to ensure that the door 7 also opens when a user swings the decorative panel 4 into the open position shown in solid lines, one of the decorative panel 4 and door 7 is provided with a horizontally oriented rail and the other with a slider 9 which can be displaced along the rail provided that engages around the rail and transmits a tensile force to the door 7, but allows a horizontal displacement of the decorative plate 4 and door 7 during pivoting.

[005] Eine Aufgabe der Erfindung ist, ein Einbau-Kältegerät zu schaffen, dessen Einbauort in einer Möbelfront von außen unmittelbar erkennbar ist. Eine andere Aufgabe ist, ein Einbau-Kältegerät zuschaffen, bei ohne Abstriche an der Qualität der Isolation ein großes Volumen des Innenraums realisierbar ist.An object of the invention is to provide a built-in refrigerator, the location of which is immediately recognizable from the outside in a furniture front. Another task is to provide a built-in refrigerator, without sacrificing the quality of the Isolation a large volume of the interior can be realized.

[006] Beide Aufgaben werden gelöst durch ein Kältegerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.Both tasks are solved by a refrigerator with the features of claim 1.

[007] In dem zugelassen wird, dass in einer ordnungsgemäßen Einbaustellung des Kältegeräts in der Möbelnische die Tür über die Vorderkante der Möbelnische vorspringt, wird zum einen erreicht, dass die die Tür des Kältegeräts verdeckende Dekorplatte weiter vorsteht als die Türen von zur Möbelnische des Kältegeräts benachbarten Schrankelementen. Dadurch ist die Dekorplatte des Kältegeräts, auch wenn sie stilistisch an die benachbarten Schranktüren angeglichen ist, durch ihre vorstehende Stellung sofort zu erkennen. Außerdem erlaubt es die vorspringende Tür, den Innenraum des Kältegeräts gegenüber vergleichbaren herkömmlichen Modellen nach vorne hin auszudenen, ohne dass dies notwendigerweise eine Verringerung der Dicke der Isolierschicht in der Tür mit sich brächte.In which it is permitted that in a proper installation position of the refrigerator in the furniture niche, the door projects beyond the front edge of the furniture niche, on the one hand it is achieved that the decorative panel covering the door of the refrigerator protrudes further than the doors from to the furniture niche of the refrigerator neighboring cabinet elements. As a result, the decorative plate of the refrigerator, even if it is stylistically matched to the neighboring cabinet doors, is immediately recognizable by its protruding position. In addition, the projecting door allows the interior of the refrigerator to be conceived forward in comparison to comparable conventional models, without this necessarily necessitating a reduction in the thickness of the insulating layer in the door.

[008] Vorzugsweise bleibt der Korpus des Kältegeräts mit seiner Frontseite in der ordnungsgemäßen Einbaustellung hinter der Vorderkante der Möbelnische zurück. D.h., vorzugsweise unterscheidet sich das erfindungsgemäße Kältegerät von einem herkömmlichen lediglich durch seine Tür, nämlich dadurch, dass der an ihrer Innenseite gebildete Aufnahmeraum bei gleicher Isolationsstärke der Tür deutlich tiefer ausgebildet ist. Ein gleiches Modell von Korpus kann für ein herkömmliches Einbau- Kältegerät genau so wie für ein erfindungsgemäßes verwendet werden. Dies vereinfacht die Entwicklung und ermöglicht eine rationelle Fertigung.Preferably, the body of the refrigerator remains with its front in the correct installation position behind the front edge of the furniture recess. In other words, the refrigeration device according to the invention preferably differs from a conventional one only by its door, namely in that the receiving space formed on the inside is designed to be significantly deeper with the same insulation thickness of the door. The same model of body can be used for a conventional built-in refrigerator as well as for an inventive one. This simplifies development and enables rational production.

[009] Vorzugsweise ist der Vorsprung der Tür so groß, dass auch der Innenraum (der sich in einer Aussparung der Tür hinein erstrecken kann) über die Vorderkante der Möbelnische vorspringt.Preferably, the projection of the door is so large that the interior (which can extend into a recess in the door) projects beyond the front edge of the furniture recess.

[010] Wenn die Tür über die Vorderkante der Möbelnische vorspringt, der Korpus jedoch nicht, so bedeutet dies, dass die Tiefe der Tür größer sein muss als bei herkömmlichen Kältegeräten. Wenn in einem solchen Fall Teile der Tür weit über die Schwenkachse nach vorn vorstehen, so werden diese Teile beim Öffnen der Tür seitwärts bewegt. D.h. die Dekorplatte kann bei geöffneter Tür des Kältegeräts vor den Türen benachbarter Schrankelemente zu hegen kommen und deren Bewegungsfreiheit einschränken. Um dies zu vermeiden, ist bei einer Tür, die eine Türplatte und einen von der Türplatte zum Korpus hin abstehenden Rahmen aufweist, die zusammen den vorderen Bereich des Innenraums begrenzen, eine Schwenkachse der Tür vorzugsweise weit vom Korpus entfernt angeordnet, insbesondere verläuft sie vorzugsweise durch die Türplatte der Tür. [011] Die Tatsache, dass die Tür über die Vorderkante der Möbelnische vorspringt, erlaubt es, die Dekorplatte starr an der Tür zu montieren, so dass anders als im in Fig. 1 dargestellten Stand der Technik ein einziges Scharnier, z. B. in Form eines Mehrgelenkscharniers zum Schwenken der Tür und der Dekorplatte genügt.If the door projects over the front edge of the furniture recess, but the body does not, this means that the depth of the door must be greater than in conventional refrigeration devices. In such a case, if parts of the door protrude far beyond the pivot axis, these parts are moved sideways when the door is opened. This means that when the refrigerator is open, the decorative panel can be in front of the doors of neighboring cabinet elements and restrict their freedom of movement. To avoid this, a pivot axis of the door is preferably arranged far from the body, in particular it preferably runs through, in the case of a door which has a door plate and a frame which projects from the door plate towards the body and which together delimit the front region of the interior the door panel of the door. The fact that the door projects over the front edge of the furniture recess allows the decorative panel to be rigidly mounted on the door, so that, unlike in the prior art shown in FIG. 1, a single hinge, e.g. B. in the form of a multi-joint hinge for pivoting the door and the decorative panel is sufficient.

[012] Insbesondere wenn die Tür weit über die Vorderkante der Möbelnische vorsteht, kann es wünschenswert sein, dass ein Stück der Dekorplatte auch eine seitliche Flanke der Tür überdeckt.In particular if the door protrudes far beyond the front edge of the furniture recess, it may be desirable that a piece of the decorative panel also covers a side flank of the door.

[013] Wenn die Tür an ihren seitlichen Flanken und an ihrer Frontseite einen dekorativen Endzustand, d.h. z.B. aus Edelstahlblech aufweist, kann auf eine Dekorplatte, insbesondere eine, die auch die seitlichen Flanken den Tür überdeckt, verzichtet werden.If the door has a decorative final state on its side flanks and on its front side, i.e. e.g. made of stainless steel sheet, there is no need for a decorative panel, in particular one that also covers the side flanks of the door.

[014] Gegenstand der Erfindung ist auch ein Teilesatz für den Zusammenbau eines Kältegeräts wie oben beschrieben, der einen Korpus und eine Mehrzahl von an dem Korpus montierbaren Türen unterschiedlicher Tiefe umfasst. Wenn ein Hersteller zu einem Modell von Korpus eine Mehrzahl unterschiedlicher Türen fertigt, hat der Benutzer die Möglichkeit, je nach persönlichem Platzbedarf eine passende Tür auszuwählen. Zur Auslieferung kommen kann sowohl das fertige Gerät, bei dem Korpus und Tür bereits zusammengefügt sind, oder beide Teile getrennt, für einen späteren Zusammenbau am Einbauort.The invention also relates to a set of parts for the assembly of a refrigeration device as described above, which comprises a body and a plurality of doors of different depths which can be mounted on the body. If a manufacturer produces a number of different doors for a Korpus model, the user has the option of selecting a suitable door according to their personal space requirements. The finished device, in which the body and door are already assembled, or both parts separately, can be delivered for later assembly at the installation site.

[015] Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung von Ausführungsbeispielen mit Bezug auf die beigefügten Figuren. Es zeigen:Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying figures. Show it:

[016] Fig. 1, bereits behandelt, einen schematischen horizontalen Schnitt durch ein herkömmliches Einbau-Kältegerät, eingebaut in einer Möbelnische;1, already dealt with, shows a schematic horizontal section through a conventional built-in refrigerator, installed in a furniture recess;

[017] Fig. 2 einen Schnitt analog dem der Fig. 1 durch eine erste Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Kältegeräts;[017] FIG. 2 shows a section analogous to that of FIG. 1 through a first embodiment of the refrigeration device according to the invention;

[018] Fig. 3 einen Schnitt durch eine zweite Ausgestaltung des Kältegeräts, in der auch Teile benachbarter Schrankelemente gezeigt sind; und[018] FIG. 3 shows a section through a second embodiment of the refrigeration device, in which parts of adjacent cabinet elements are also shown; and

[019] Fig. 4 einen Schnitt durch eine dritte Ausgestaltung des Kältegeräts.4 shows a section through a third embodiment of the refrigeration device.

[020] Die Möbelnische mit den Wänden 1, 2 und der Korpus 6 des in Fig. 2 gezeigten Kältegeräts sind identisch mit den entsprechenden Teilen aus Fig. 1 und werden deshalb hier nicht erneut erläutert.The furniture niche with the walls 1, 2 and the body 6 of the refrigeration device shown in FIG. 2 are identical to the corresponding parts from FIG. 1 and are therefore not explained again here.

[021] Das Kältegerät befindet sich in einer ordnungsgemäßen Einbauposition, die z.B. festgelegt ist durch die Anforderung, dass zwischen der Rückwand 2 der Möbelnische und dem Korpus 6 ein Zwischenraum 11 von für die Kühlung eines an der Rückseite des Korpus 6 montierten (nicht dargestellten) Verdampfers ausreichender Tiefe vorhanden ist, und dass andererseits eine Vorderkante 21 des Korpus 6 über die vordere Kante 3 der Möbelnische nicht vorsteht oder die Tiefe des Zwischenraums 11, die für die Kühlung erforderliche Tiefe um nicht mehr als ein vorgegebenes Maß übersteigt. [022] Die in unterschiedlichen Stellungen gezeigte Tür 10 des Kältegeräts umfasst eine ebene Türaußenverkleidung 12, die die Vorderseite der Tür bildet, und eine durch Tiefziehverfahren einer Kinststoffplatine erzeugte Türinnenverkleidung, die seitliche Holme aufweist und die an ihren seitlichen Rändern eine an sich bekannte umlaufende Magnetdichtaig trägt, welche in geschlossener Stellung der Tür 10 dicht an der vorderen Kante des Korpus 6 anliegt. Der Innenraum 14 des Kältegeräts ist durch die Holme 13 in die Tür 10 hineinverlängert. Die Holme 13 können auch durch horizontal verlaufendende Abschnitte verbunden sein, so dass eine Art Rahmen gebildet ist, durch den der Innenraum 14 in die Tür 10 hineinverlängert ist.The refrigeration device is in a proper installation position, which is determined, for example, by the requirement that between the rear wall 2 of the furniture niche and the body 6 there is an intermediate space 11 for cooling a mount (not shown) mounted on the rear of the body 6. Evaporator of sufficient depth is present, and that, on the other hand, a front edge 21 of the body 6 does not protrude beyond the front edge 3 of the furniture recess or the depth of the space 11 does not exceed the depth required for cooling by more than a predetermined amount. The door 10 of the refrigeration device shown in different positions comprises a flat outer door panel 12, which forms the front of the door, and a door inner panel produced by deep-drawing methods of a plastic board, which has side rails and which has a known circumferential magnetic seal on its side edges carries, which lies in the closed position of the door 10 close to the front edge of the body 6. The interior 14 of the refrigerator is extended into the door 10 by the spars 13. The spars 13 can also be connected by horizontally running sections, so that a type of frame is formed through which the interior 14 is extended into the door 10.

[023] Ein Scharnier 8, das die Schwenkachse der Tür 10 bildet, ist in an sich bekannter und daher nicht im Detail dargestellter Weise durch zwei Arme gebildet, die an einem Ende über eine Lasche an der Vorderseite 21 des Korpus 6 in Decken- bzw. Bodenhöhe verschraubt sind und an ihrem anderen Ende einen Zapfen tr^en, der in hierfür vorgesehene Bohrungen der Tür 10 eingreift und die Schwenkachse der Tür definiert. Diese Bohrungen sind im Bereich der Türaußenverkleidung 12 angeordnet, so dass die Schwenkachse außerhalb der Möbelnische, vor deren vorderer Kante 3, liegt. Durch diese Platzierung der Achse wird vermieden, dass Teile der Tür in geöffnetem Zustand über benachbarte Möbelelemente ausgreifen und den Zugang zu diesen behindern.A hinge 8, which forms the pivot axis of the door 10, is formed in a manner known per se and therefore not shown in detail by two arms, which at one end have a tab on the front 21 of the body 6 in the ceiling or Are screwed to the floor and at the other end meet a pin which engages in the bores of the door 10 provided for this purpose and defines the pivot axis of the door. These bores are arranged in the area of the outer door panel 12, so that the pivot axis lies outside the furniture niche, in front of its front edge 3. This positioning of the axis prevents parts of the door from reaching out over adjacent furniture elements in the open state and preventing access to them.

[024] An der Vorderseite der Tür 10 ist eine Dekorplatte 15 starr montiert. Die Dekorplatte 15 greift in seitlicher Richtung über die Ränder der Tür 10 hinaus und verbirgt sie so bei geschlossener Tür vor den Blicken eines Benutzers, sofern dieser nicht gerade in seitlicher Richtung an der Möbelfront entlang schaut. An der Dekorplatte 15 kann ein Griff montiert sein; es kann auch einfach ein überstehender Randbereich 16 der Dekorplatte 15 an einer von dem Scharnier 8 abgewandten Seite als Griff dienen.At the front of the door 10, a decorative plate 15 is rigidly mounted. The decorative panel 15 reaches laterally over the edges of the door 10 and thus hides it when the door is closed from the eyes of a user, unless the user is looking sideways along the furniture front. A handle can be mounted on the decorative plate 15; a projecting edge area 16 of the decorative panel 15 can also simply serve as a handle on a side facing away from the hinge 8.

[025] Der seitliche Überstand der Dekorplatte 15 kann an der Seite des Scharniers 8 kleiner gewählt sein als im Randbereich 16, damit die Dekorplatte 15 beim Öffnen der Tür in die Möbelnische ein Stück weit eintauchen kann, ohne mit der Vorderkante der benachbarten Seitenwand 1 zusammenzustoßen.The lateral protrusion of the decorative plate 15 on the side of the hinge 8 can be chosen to be smaller than in the edge area 16, so that the decorative plate 15 can plunge a bit into the furniture recess when the door is opened without colliding with the front edge of the adjacent side wall 1 ,

[026] Die Tiefe der Holme 13 ist im Prinzip willkürlich wählbar; es ist daher einfach möglich, unterschiedliche Modelle von Türen 10 herzustellen, die sich, wie in Fig. 3 gezeigt, ledigüch in der Tiefe der Holme 13 und damit im Ausmaß des Über Standes nach vorn der Dekorplatte 15 über die Türen 17 benachbarter Schrankelemente unterscheiden. Dies erlaubt es einem Anwender, auch bei begrenztem zur Verfügung stehenden Einbauvolumen für das Kältegerät in der Möbelnische den ihm zur Verfügung stehenden Innenraum durch Auswahl einer Tür von geeigneter Tiefe zu vergrößern bzw. optimal an seine Bedürfnisse anzupassen. Die Ausgestaltung der Fig. 4 unterscheidet sich von der der Fig. 2 durch die Dekorplatte. Während die Dekorplatte 15 in Fig. 2 eine flache Rückseite aufweist, die nur durch ihren seitlichen Überstand die Seitenflanken der Tür 10 verdeckt, ist die Dekorplatte 18 in Fig. 4 mit Seitenwangen 19, 20 versehen, die sich parallel zu den seitlichen Flanken der Tür 10 erstrecken und die Tür 10 so auch vor Blicken aus seitlicher Richtung verbergen. Die Seitenwangen 19, 20 enden jeweils kurz vor der vorderen Kante 3 der Möbelnische. Je nachdem, wie die Achse des Scharniers 8 platziert ist, kann es erforderlich sein, an der achsnahen Seitenwange 19 eine Hinter- schneidung vorzusehen, sie kürzer als die Seitenwange 20 zu machen oder ganz fortzulassen, um das Öffnen der Tür nicht zu behindern. Entsprechende, nicht dargestellte Seitenwangen können auch an der oberen bzw. unteren Kante der Dekorplatte 18 vorgesehen sein. The depth of the spars 13 is in principle arbitrary; therefore it is simple possible to produce different models of doors 10, which, as shown in Fig. 3, differ only in the depth of the spars 13 and thus in the extent of the forward standing of the decorative panel 15 over the doors 17 of adjacent cabinet elements. This allows a user to enlarge the interior space available to him by selecting a door of suitable depth, even with a limited installation volume available for the refrigerator in the furniture niche, or to optimally adapt it to his needs. 4 differs from that of FIG. 2 by the decorative plate. While the decorative panel 15 in FIG. 2 has a flat back, which only covers the side flanks of the door 10 by its lateral overhang, the decorative panel 18 in FIG. 4 is provided with side walls 19, 20 which are parallel to the side flanks of the door 10 extend and thus hide the door 10 from views from the side. The side panels 19, 20 each end just before the front edge 3 of the furniture niche. Depending on how the axis of the hinge 8 is placed, it may be necessary to provide an undercut on the side cheek 19 close to the axis, to make it shorter than the side cheek 20 or to omit it completely so as not to impede the opening of the door. Corresponding side walls, not shown, can also be provided on the upper or lower edge of the decorative panel 18.
