Definitions

  • the invention relates to a household appliance device having a body and a closing element movably arranged therebetween between a closed position and an open position and with a line arranged both on the body and on the closure element.
  • Such a household appliance device may in particular be part of a refrigeration appliance.
  • the closure element can have an operating unit and / or display unit for controlling functions and displaying operating states of the refrigeration appliance. It is also conceivable that the closure element has an ice dispenser and / or a water dispenser. In such cases, there is a need to guide an electrical conduit or water conduit from the body into the closure member.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a household appliance device mentioned above, which allows a safe and durable guidance of the line between the body and the closure element.
  • the household appliance device comprises a spring element which exerts a tensile stress at least on a line section of the line in at least the open position of the closure element.
  • the tension acts as a restoring force on the line section.
  • the line section thus has in the open position of the closure element the Endeavor to return to its original state.
  • This tension thus makes it possible to provide a sufficient length of the line without the risk that portions of the line assume an undesirable or uncontrolled shape, for example sagging.
  • the closure element may be formed by a door, a flap or a drawer front. In the open position, an interior region of the body, for example a storage space for goods to be cooled or frozen, becomes partially or completely accessible to a user, depending on the opening angle.
  • the closure element may have an inner wall facing the body in the closed position and an outer wall facing away from the body. The inner wall and the outer wall may define a cavity filled with thermal insulation material.
  • the line can be formed for example by an electrical line, a data line or by a water pipe. It is also possible that the line within an outer sheath comprises both one or more electrical line (s) and / or data lines and / or one or more water line (s).
  • the spring element exerts a tensile stress on the line section in the closed position of the closure element.
  • the line section is thus under a tensile stress both in the open position and in the closed position.
  • the line section does not assume an undesired shape, in particular does not sag. This results in a precise and thus secure guidance of the line between the body and the closure element.
  • the tensile force exerted on the line section in the closed state and the opened state of the closure element is (substantially) the same.
  • a simple embodiment is achieved in that the tensile stress of the conduit section in the open position of the closure element is greater than the tensile stress of the conduit section in the closed position of Closure element.
  • the tensile stress increases continuously when opening the closure element up to a maximum open position of the closure element, for example linearly with respect to an opening angle.
  • the tensile stress of the conduit section in the open position of the closure element is produced by an elastic deformation of the conduit section.
  • the entire tensile stress exerted on the line section is generated exclusively by the elastic deformation of the line section itself. This results in a simple yet effective solution to the problem.
  • the elastic deformation could be done by stretching the line section along its longitudinal axis. Such an embodiment would be conceivable in particular for a water pipe, which consists essentially only of an elastic cable jacket.
  • the spring element is formed by formed in the line section spring portions.
  • This embodiment can be used, for example, for electrical lines and data lines.
  • this embodiment enables elastic deformation of the conduit section without stretching the same along its longitudinal axis.
  • the spring sections can in particular be designed such that the elastic deformation, preferably exclusively, is produced by a bending deformation.
  • the spring sections are formed by a helical shape or helical shape of the line section. It is possible that the complete line, if appropriate with the exception of the two end sections of the line, has a helical shape. The generation of the tensile stress by the elastic deformation of the line section takes place by increasing the pitch of the helix or the pitch of the helix.
  • the spring element is formed by a separate spring mechanism with respect to the line.
  • a separate spring mechanism allows application-specific and precisely adjustable tension.
  • a multi-part Spring mechanism partially on or within the body and to be arranged on or within the closure element. In order to achieve a compact construction, however, it can be provided to arrange the spring mechanism exclusively on or within the body or on or inside the closure element.
  • the spring mechanism comprises a member for rolling up a portion of the pipe section.
  • the length of a portion rolled up onto the element in the closed position of the closure element is greater than the length of a section rolled up onto the element in the open position of the closure element.
  • the element is formed by a rotatably arranged on the body or on the closure element and can be tensioned by a spring roller. An axis of rotation of the roller can be arranged in a stationary manner relative to that structural unit of the body and closure element on which the roller is arranged. The role can be tensioned by a torsion spring.
  • the spring mechanism forms a section of the line section in the closed position of the closure element by means of a force generated by a spring to a curved portion.
  • the curved portion may in particular form a loop or a bow.
  • the spring mechanism can directly form or deflect the curved section by means of the spring.
  • the spring mechanism has a guide element, which forms the curved portion.
  • the guide element may in particular have a guide groove.
  • the curved portion can be guided with play in the guide groove.
  • the guide element may in particular be arranged stationary with respect to a resilient end portion of the spring.

  • the roller may have a guide groove on its lateral surface.
  • the spring mechanism is arranged completely on the closure element.
  • the spring mechanism may in particular be arranged at an end portion of the closure element.
  • the spring mechanism may be disposed at an upper or lower end portion.
  • the home appliance device may include a cover member for partially or completely covering the spring mechanism.
  • the closure element has a fastening means for a, in particular plate-shaped, decorative element and a cover for partially or completely covering the fastening means and that the cover member covers the spring mechanism partially or completely.
  • the household appliance device comprises a line deflection, in particular a deflection roller, which causes a change in direction of the guided over the line deflection line.
  • the line deflection makes it possible to guide the line targeted to desired connection points on the body or the closure element.
  • the line deflection has a groove for guiding the line.
  • the spring element can be tensioned or tensioned by a relative movement of the closure element relative to the body when the closure element is opened.
  • the spring element can be tensioned or tensioned exclusively by this relative movement.
  • the body and the closure element can be connected to one another by one or more bearing elements, for example hinges or pull-out rails (telescopic rails).
  • the one or more bearing elements allow an adjustment of the closure element between the closed position of the open position.
  • the body and the closure element can in particular by means of one, by means of two or be interconnected by means of several multi-joint hinges.
  • a multi-joint hinge is characterized in that it allows both a rotation and a translational movement between the body and the closure element.
  • the line is fastened by means of a, in particular releasable, plug-in connection to the body and / or on the closure element.
