Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät mit einer integrierten, aus dem Korpus des Kältegeräts herausziehbaren Abstellplatte.The present invention relates to a refrigerator with an integrated, removable from the body of the refrigerator storage shelf.

Der Innenraum eines Kältegeräts ist üblicherweise durch Abstellplatten in mehrere übereinander liegende Fächer unterteilt. Es wurde bereits vorgeschlagen, solche Abstellplatten herausziehbar zu machen, um den Zugriff auf darauf, insbesondere in einem hinteren Bereich der Abstellplatten, abgestelltes Kühlgut zu erleichtern. Wenn eine solche Abstellplatte herausgezogen ist, erschwert sie jedoch den Zugang zu einem unter ihr liegenden Fach.The interior of a refrigerator is usually divided by storage shelves in several superposed compartments. It has already been proposed to make such storage trays extendable in order to facilitate access to it, in particular in a rear area of the storage shelves, stored refrigerated goods. However, when such a storage tray is pulled out, it makes access to a compartment below it difficult.

Es wäre wünschenswert, an einem Kältegerät über eine Abstellmöglichkeit zu verfügen, auf der Kühlgut in größerer Menge, wie etwa eine volle Einkaufstasche, zeitweilig abgeladen werden kann, um anschließend das Kühlgut auf die einzelnen Fächer des Kältegeräts zu verteilen. Die herkömmlichen herausziehbaren Abstellplatten sind hierfür nicht geeignet, denn selbst wenn sie stabil genug wären, um im herausgezogenen Zustand eine große Menge Kühlgut zu tragen, sind sie im Gebrauch in den seltensten Fällen leer, so dass es nicht möglich ist, eine Einkaufstasche oder dergleichen darauf abzustellen. Störend ist bei einer solchen Nutzung auch die schwere Zugänglichkeit der unterhalb der herausgezogenen Abstellplatte liegenden Fächer sowie die Tatsache, dass zum Beladen der herausgezogenen Abstellplatte mit Kühlgut die Einkaufstasche erst von dort entfernt werden müsste.It would be desirable to have a storage device on a refrigeration device, on the refrigerated goods in larger quantities, such as a full shopping bag, can be temporarily unloaded, then to distribute the refrigerated goods to the individual compartments of the refrigerator. The conventional retractable storage boards are not suitable for this, because even if they were stable enough to carry a large amount of refrigerated goods in the pulled-out state, they are rarely empty in use, so that it is not possible to have a shopping bag or the like on it remedy. Disturbing is in such a use, the difficult accessibility of lying below the extracted storage tray and the fact that the shopping bag would have to be removed only from there to load the extracted storage tray with refrigerated goods.

Die DE 1 045 431 offenbart einen Kühlschrank, dessen Kühlbehälter mit übereinanderliegenden Laden versehen ist. Die Laden sitzen auf an den Seitenwänden des Kühlbehälters angebrachten Schienen und jede Lade reicht mit ihrer Vorderleiste bis zum Boden der darüberliegenden Lade.The DE 1 045 431 discloses a refrigerator whose refrigerated container is provided with superimposed loading. The shops sit on rails mounted on the side walls of the refrigerated container and each drawer reaches with its front ledge to the floor of the overlying drawer.

Die EP 0 950 868 A1 offenbart eine Kühlbox, aufweisend einen Boden, zwei Seitenwände und eine Decke, die einen Kühlraum begrenzen, sowie einen Kühlmechanismus zum Kühlen dieses Kühlraums. In einer der Seitenwände ist eine Tür angebracht und über dem Boden ist ein bewegbares Tragelement angebracht.The EP 0 950 868 A1 discloses a cold box having a bottom, two side walls and a ceiling defining a cold room, and a cooling mechanism for cooling this cold room. In one of the side walls, a door is mounted and above the floor a movable support member is mounted.

Die US 5,558,419 offenbart ein Kältegerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Dieses Kältegerät ist mit einer aus dem Innenraum des Kältegerätes herausziehbaren Ablage. Befindet sich die Ablage innerhalb dem Kältegerät, dann bildet sie den Boden des Innenraums. Im herausgezogenen Zustand kann im hinteren Teil der Ablage abgelegtes Kühlgut besser entnommen werden.The US 5,558,419 discloses a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1. This refrigerator is equipped with a pull-out from the interior of the refrigerator tray. If the shelf is inside the refrigeration unit, then it forms the floor of the interior. When pulled out, chilled goods stored in the rear part of the rack can be removed more easily.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, ein Kältegerät zu schaffen, das eine bequem nutzbare Abstellmöglichkeit für eine große Menge Kühlgut vor dessen Verteilung auf die einzelnen Fächer bietet.Object of the present invention is to provide a refrigeration device that provides a convenient storage option for a large amount of refrigerated goods prior to its distribution to the individual subjects.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Kältegerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Es gibt somit kein Fach unterhalb der Abstellplatte, dessen Zugänglichkeit bei herausgezogener Abstellplatte eingeschränkt ist. Die Abstellplatte ist in einem Spalt zwischen dem Boden des Innenraums und einem aus dem Innenraum herausziehbaren Kasten angebracht, so dass sie im nicht herausgezogenen Zustand nicht mit Kühlgut beladen werden kann, das die Nutzung der Abstellplatte zum zeitweiligen Abstellen von zu verteilendem Kühlgut behindern würde.The object is achieved by a refrigeration device having the features of claim 1. There is thus no compartment below the storage tray whose accessibility is limited when the storage tray is pulled out. The storage tray is mounted in a gap between the bottom of the interior and a pull-out from the interior of the box, so that they can not be loaded with refrigerated goods in the non-extracted state, which would hinder the use of the storage tray for temporary storage of refrigerated goods to be distributed.

Der Kasten kann in Form einer Gemüseschublade sein, wie sie in vielen Haushaltskühlschränken vorhanden ist.The box may be in the form of a vegetable drawer, such as that found in many household refrigerators.

Um das Herausziehen der Abstellplatte nicht zu behindern, ist der Kasten vorzugsweise an Seitenwänden des Innenraums aufgehängt.In order not to hinder the removal of the storage tray, the box is preferably suspended from side walls of the interior.

Ein Griff zum Herausziehen des Kastens ist erfindungsgemäß in Form einer nach unten offenen Griffaussparung an einer Frontseite des Kastens realisiert. Eine Griffaussparung der Abstellplatte, die in eingeschobener Stellung des Kastens und der Abstellplatte unter der Griffaussparung des Kastens liegt, ist so über die Griffaussparung des Kastens leicht zugänglich.A handle for pulling out the box is realized according to the invention in the form of a downwardly open handle recess on a front side of the box. A handle recess of the storage tray, which is in the inserted position of the box and the storage under the handle recess of the box, is easily accessible via the handle recess of the box.

Außerdem ermöglicht diese Anordnung der Griffaussparungen, das in der eingeschobenen Stellung eine Vorderkante der Abstellplatte bündig mit der Vorderfront des Kastens abschließt, wodurch eine gute Platzausnutzung im Innenraum erreicht wird.In addition, this arrangement allows the handle recesses, which terminates in the retracted position, a front edge of the storage shelf flush with the front of the box, whereby a good space utilization is achieved in the interior.

Um die Abstellplatte verschiebbar zu führen, können in Seitenwänden des Korpus Nuten gebildet sein, in die die Abstellplatte eingreift.In order to guide the storage tray slidably, grooves may be formed in side walls of the body into which the storage tray engages.

Des weiteren können zum Führen der Verschiebung der Abstellplatte an dieser und am Boden des Korpus ineinander greifende Nuten und Rippen vorgesehen sein.Furthermore, to guide the displacement of the storage tray at this and at the bottom of the body interlocking grooves and ribs may be provided.

Um die Bewegung der Abstellplatte zu führen, kann die Abstellplatte mit dem Korpus auch über Teleskopschienen verbunden sein. Diese können platzsparend einerseits am Boden des Korpus und andererseits an der Unterseite der Abstellplatte befestigt sein. Zweckmäßig ist auch, wenn die Abstellplatte entnehmbar ist. Dies ermöglicht neben der oben beschriebenen Nutzung zum Verteilen von Kühlgut in den Fächern des Kältegeräts eine zweite Nutzung, indem Kühlgut aus verschiedenen Fächern des Kältegeräts zusammengesucht und auf die Abstellplatte platziert wird, um anschließend mitsamt der Abstellplatte auf einen Esstisch gestellt zu werden.In order to guide the movement of the storage tray, the storage tray may be connected to the body via telescopic rails. These can be attached to save space on the one hand at the bottom of the body and on the other hand at the bottom of the storage tray. It is also useful if the storage tray is removable. This allows in addition to the above-described use for distributing refrigerated goods in the compartments of the refrigerator a second use by refrigerated goods from different subjects of the refrigerator together and placed on the storage tray to be subsequently placed together with the storage tray on a dining table.

Fig. 1 zeigt als Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ein Kältegerät in Standbauweise mit zwei auf unterschiedlichen Temperaturen gehaltenen Innenräumen, die jeweils durch Türen 1, 2 verschließbar sind. Die obere Tür 1 ist in offener Stellung gezeigt, und in dem ihr zugeordneten Innenraum 3 ist ein von einer Platte 4 überdeckter Auszugkasten 5 zu erkennen. Zwischen dem Boden des Auszugkastens 5 und dem Boden des Innenraums 3 ist ein schmaler Spalt freigehalten, um eine in der Fig. in herausgezogener Stellung gezeigte Abstellplatte 6 aufzunehmen. Auf der herausgezogenen Abstellplatte 6 kann ein Behälter wie etwa eine Einkaufstasche, ein Karton oder dergleichen zeitweilig abgestellt werden, um Kühlgut von dort auf diverse Fächer 7 des Innenraums 3 zu verteilen. Sofern der Behälter auf der Abstellplatte 6 nicht allzu groß ist, ist es auch möglich, den Auszugkasten 5 ein Stück weit herauszuziehen, um ihn mit Kühlgut aus dem Behälter zu füllen. Fig. 1 shows as an embodiment of the invention, a refrigeration device in a stand construction with two held at different temperatures interiors, which are each closed by doors 1, 2. The upper door 1 is shown in the open position, and in the interior 3 associated therewith, a drawer 5 covered by a plate 4 can be seen. Between the bottom of the pull-out box 5 and the bottom of the inner space 3, a narrow gap is kept free to one in the Fig. In pulled-out position Shelf 6 shown record. On the withdrawn storage tray 6, a container such as a shopping bag, a carton or the like can be temporarily parked to distribute refrigerated goods from there to various compartments 7 of the interior 3. If the container on the storage tray 6 is not too large, it is also possible to pull the drawer 5 a piece far to fill it with refrigerated goods from the container.

Der Auszugkasten 5 hat eine im wesentlichen ebene Frontplatte 8 (siehe auch Fig. 2), die bei geschlossener Tür 1 deren Innenseite dicht gegenüber liegt. An der Unterkante der Frontplatte 8 ist mittig eine Aussparung 9 gebildet, durch die hindurch ein Benutzer einen Steg 10 des Kastens 5 greifen kann, um den Kasten herauszuziehen.The drawer 5 has a substantially flat front panel 8 (see also Fig. 2 ), which is close to the inside when the door 1 is closed. At the lower edge of the front panel 8 a recess 9 is centrally formed through which a user can reach a web 10 of the box 5 to pull out the box.

Die Abstellplatte 6 weist benachbart zu ihrer Vorderkante 11 eine Griffaussparung, hier in Form einer Öffnung 12, auf, die in der eingeschobenen Stellung der Abstellplatte 6 hinter der Frontplatte 8 des Auszugkastens 4 und unterhalb von dessen Aussparung 9 zu liegen kommt, so dass ein Benutzer durch die Aussparung 9 hindurch auch in die Öffnung 12 eingreifen und die Abstellplatte 6 herausziehen kann.The storage tray 6 has adjacent to its front edge 11 a handle recess, here in the form of an opening 12, which comes to lie in the retracted position of the storage tray 6 behind the front panel 8 of the pull-out box 4 and below the recess 9, so that a user through the recess 9 also engage in the opening 12 and the storage tray 6 can pull out.

Wie insbesondere in Fig. 2 zu erkennen ist, ist die vordere Kante 11 der aus Sicherheitsglas oder einem belastbaren Kunststoff wie etwa Polycarbonat bestehenden Abstellplatte 6 durch ein aufgestecktes U-Profil 13, das sich über die gesamte Breite der Abstellplatte 6 erstreckt, vor Beschädigung geschützt. In der eingeschobenen Stellung der Fig. 2 ist die Außenseite des U-Profils 13 bündig mit der Frontplatte 8, um eine möglichst große Stellfläche im herausgezogenen Zustand zu realisieren.As in particular in Fig. 2 can be seen, the front edge 11 of the safety glass or a durable plastic such as polycarbonate existing storage tray 6 by an attached U-profile 13 which extends over the entire width of the storage tray 6, protected from damage. In the inserted position of Fig. 2 is the outside of the U-section 13 flush with the front panel 8 in order to realize the largest possible footprint in the pulled-out state.

An den Seiten der Abstellplatte sind in etwa mittig zwei weitere Öffnungen 31 gebildet, die es einem Benutzer ermöglichen, die gesamte Abstellplatte zu greifen und ggf. zusammen mit darauf gestelltem Kühlgut zu entnehmen.On the sides of the storage tray, two further openings 31 are formed approximately in the middle, which allow a user to grip the entire storage tray and, if necessary, to remove together with refrigerated goods placed thereon.

Um zu vermeiden, dass sich die Abstellplatte 6 beim Herausziehen schräg stellt und zwischen den Seitenwänden des Innenraums 3 verkeilt, sind am Boden 15 des Innenraums 3 mehrere Rippen 16 geformt, die sich in Tiefenrichtung des Innenraums erstrecken. Wie in Fig. 3 zu erkennen, die eine fragmentarische Ansicht eines Teils des Bodens 15 und einer Seitenwand 18 des Innenraums sowie der Abstellplatte 6 zeigt, greifen die sich in Tiefenrichtung des Innenraums erstreckenden Rippen 16 in komplementäre Nuten 17 an der Unterseite der Abstellplatte 6 ein.In order to avoid that the storage tray 6 is inclined when pulling out and wedged between the side walls of the interior space 3, a plurality of ribs 16 are formed on the bottom 15 of the interior 3, which extend in the depth direction of the interior. As in Fig. 3 which shows a fragmentary view of a part of the bottom 15 and a side wall 18 of the interior and the storage tray 6, engage in the depth direction of the interior extending ribs 16 in complementary grooves 17 on the underside of the storage tray 6 a.

Alternativ könnten am Boden des Innenraums 3 Nuten gebildet sein, in die jeweils von der Unterseite der Abstellplatte abstehende Rippen eingreifen, um die gleiche Führungswirkung zu erzielen. Mit einer solchen Ausgestaltung ist eventuell eine höhere Tragfähigkeit der Abstellplatte 6 bei geringerem Materialeinsatz realisierbar. Die in Fig. 3 gezeigte Ausgestaltung hat hingegen den Vorteil, dass die recht breiten Zwischenräume zwischen den Rippen 16 im Bedarfsfalle leichter zu reinigen sind als das Innere einer in den Boden 15 eingetieften Nut.Alternatively, 3 grooves could be formed at the bottom of the interior, in each of which engage from the bottom of the storage shelf ribs to achieve the same guiding effect. With such a configuration, a higher load capacity of the storage tray 6 may possibly be realized with less use of material. In the Fig. 3 In contrast, the embodiment shown has the advantage that the fairly wide spaces between the ribs 16 are easier to clean in case of need than the interior of a recessed into the bottom 15 groove.

Am Fuß der Seitenwand 18 ist eine in seitlicher Richtung offene Nut 19 gebildet. Eine entsprechende Nut ist spiegelsymmetrisch an der in Fig. 3 nicht gezeigten gegenüberliegenden Seitenwand des Innenraums 3 vorgesehen. In diese beiden Nuten 19 greifen jeweils Randabschnitte 20 der Abstellplatte 6 mit geringem Spiel in vertikaler Richtung ein. Der Eingriff der Randabschnitte 20 in die Nut 19 verhindert ein Kippen und Herausfallen der Abstellplatte 6 aus dem Innenraum 3, wenn die Platte 6 beladen ist und ihr Schwerpunkt außerhalb des Innenraums 3 liegt. Um die Belastbarkeit der Abstellplatte 6 zu vergrößern, können auch auf die Randabschnitte 20 jeweils versteifende U-Profile in Art des U-Profils 13, vorzugsweise aus Metall, aufgesteckt sein.At the foot of the side wall 18, a groove 19 which is open in the lateral direction is formed. A corresponding groove is mirror-symmetrical to the in Fig. 3 Not shown opposite side wall of the interior 3 is provided. In these two grooves 19 engage each edge portions 20 of the storage tray 6 with little play in the vertical direction. The engagement of the edge portions 20 in the groove 19 prevents tilting and falling out of the storage tray 6 from the interior 3, when the plate 6 is loaded and its center of gravity is outside of the interior space 3. In order to increase the load capacity of the storage tray 6, stiffening U-profiles in the manner of the U-profile 13, preferably of metal, can also be plugged onto the edge sections 20.

Zum Schutz der Seitenwand 18 vor Überbeanspruchung bei herausgezogener Abstellplatte 6 kann die Nut 19, wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt, mit einem ortsfesten U-Profil 21 ausgekleidet sein. Eine andere Möglichkeit ist, ein solches versteifendes U-Profil außen an der Seitenwand 18 die Nut 19 umgebend anzubringen, wie in Fig. 5 gezeigt.To protect the side wall 18 from overstressing when the storage tray 6 is pulled out, the groove 19, as in Fig. 4 shown to be lined with a stationary U-profile 21. Another possibility is to attach such a stiffening U-profile outside of the side wall 18 surrounding the groove 19, as in Fig. 5 shown.

Fig. 6 zeigt einen Schnitt in Breitenrichtung durch einen Teil der Abstellplatte 6 und des Bodens 15 gemäß einer zweiten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung. Anstelle der in Fig. 3 gezeigten, sich in Tiefenrichtung erstreckenden und ineinandergreifenden Rippen und Nuten sind hier einander gegenüberliegende Nuten 22, 17 am Boden 15 bzw. an der Abstellplatte 6 vorgesehen, in die jeweils komplementäre Schienen 23, 24 einer Teleskopschienenanordnung eingefügt sind. Die Schienen 23 weisen jeweils zwei einander zugewandte Rillen 25 auf, die zusammen mit komplementären, voneinander abgewandten Rillen 26 der Schiene 24 zylindrische Hohlräume begrenzen, in denen Kugeln 27 geführt sind. Die einander zugewandte Anordnung der Rillen 25 ermöglicht es den Schienen 23, 24, auch ein Drehmoment zu tragen, dem sie bei Belastung der herausgezogenen Abstellplatte 6 ausgesetzt sind. Auf diese Weise werden die Nuten 19 entlastet oder können sogar ganz entfallen. Fig. 6 shows a section in the width direction through a portion of the storage tray 6 and the bottom 15 according to a second embodiment of the invention. Instead of in Fig. 3 shown, extending in the depth direction and interlocking ribs and grooves here are opposing grooves 22, 17 provided on the bottom 15 and on the storage tray 6, in each of which complementary rails 23, 24 of a telescopic rail assembly are inserted. The rails 23 each have two mutually facing grooves 25, which together with complementary, facing away from each other grooves 26 of the rail 24 define cylindrical cavities in which Balls 27 are guided. The mutually facing arrangement of the grooves 25 allows the rails 23, 24 to also carry a torque to which they are exposed when loaded the stored storage tray 6. In this way, the grooves 19 are relieved or may even be omitted altogether.

Fig. 7 zeigt anhand eines zu Fig. 2 analogen Schnitts, wie der Auszugkasten 5 gemäß einer dritten Ausgestaltung genutzt werden kann, um die herausgezogene Abstellplatte 6 abzustützen und ihre Bewegung zu begrenzen. Der Auszugkasten 5 ist an den Seitenwänden 18 des Innenraums 3 in nicht in der Fig. gezeigter Weise aufgehängt, z. B. mit Hilfe zweier von den Seiten des Auszugkastens 5 abstehender Stege, die mit geringem vertikalen Spiel in horizontale Nuten der Seitenwände 18 eingreifen, oder mit Hilfe von Teleskopschienenanordnungen eines ähnlichen Typs, wie in Fig. 6 gezeigt, die zwischen dem Auszugkasten 5 und den Seitenwänden 18 angebracht sind. Generell ist jede Art von Aufhängung des Auszugkastens geeignet, die dessen Bewegungsfreiheit nach oben begrenzt. Fig. 7 indicates by means of one Fig. 2 analogous section, as the drawer 5 can be used according to a third embodiment to support the extracted shelf 6 and limit their movement. The pull-out box 5 is suspended from the side walls 18 of the interior 3 in a manner not shown in the figure, e.g. B. by means of two protruding from the sides of the pull-out box 5 webs which engage with slight vertical play in horizontal grooves of the side walls 18, or by means of telescopic rail arrangements of a similar type, as in Fig. 6 shown, which are mounted between the drawer 5 and the side walls 18. In general, any type of suspension of the pull-out box is suitable, which limits its freedom of movement upwards.

Der Auszugkasten 5 hat einen Boden 28, der auf dem überwiegenden Teil der Grundfläche des Auszugkastens horizontal ist. Lediglich in der Nähe der Frontplatte 8 ist der Boden 28 - zumindest an der Unterseite des Auszugkastens 5 - in einem Abschnitt 29 zur Frontplatte 8 hin leicht abschüssig.The drawer 5 has a bottom 28 which is horizontal on the majority of the base of the drawer. Only in the vicinity of the front panel 8 is the bottom 28 - at least on the underside of the drawer 5 - in a section 29 to the front panel 8 down slightly sloping.

Die Oberseite der Abstellplatte 6 hingegen hat benachbart zu ihrer Hinterkante einen nach hinten hin leicht ansteigenden Abschnitt 30. Die Höhe des die Abstellplatte 6 aufnehmenden Spalts zwischen dem Boden 15 des Innenraums 3 und dem Boden 28 des Auszugkastens 5 ist so bemessen, dass die Abstellplatte 6 aus dem Spalt herausziehbar ist, ohne den Auszugkasten 5 zu berühren, bis ihr ansteigender Abschnitt 30 unter den abfallenden Abschnitt 29 des Bodens 28 gelangt. Wenn dies geschieht, stoßen die Abschnitte 29, 30 flächig aufeinander, und wenn die Abstellplatte 6 weiter herausgezogen wird, wird der Auszugkasten 9 angehoben, soweit das Spiel seiner Aufhängung an den Seitenwänden 18 dies zulässt. Indem dies geschieht, kann das Gewicht des Auszugkastens 5 als Gegengewicht zu auf der Abstellplatte 6 deponierten Gegenständen nutzbar gemacht werden, wodurch die Halterung der Abstellplatte 6 von strapazierenden Drehmomenten entlastet wird.The top of the storage tray 6, however, has adjacent to its trailing edge a slightly upward sloping portion 30. The height of the storage tray 6 receiving gap between the bottom 15 of the interior 3 and the bottom 28 of the pull-out box 5 is sized so that the storage tray. 6 can be pulled out of the gap without touching the drawer 5 until its rising portion 30 passes under the sloping portion 29 of the bottom 28. When this happens, the sections 29, 30 abut one another flat, and when the storage tray 6 is further pulled out, the pull-out box 9 is raised as far as the play of its suspension on the side walls 18 permits. By doing so, the weight of the pull-out box 5 can be made usable as a counterweight to objects deposited on the storage tray 6, whereby the mounting of the storage tray 6 is relieved of straining torques.
