Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät mit wenigstens einem Innenraum zur Aufnahme des Kühl- bzw. Gefriergutes sowie mit wenigstens einer Tür zum Verschließen des Innenraumes, wobei in dem Innenraum wenigstens ein Behältnis angeordnet ist, dass wenigstens eine Öffnung aufweist, und wobei an der Tür wenigstens ein Türabsteller angeordnet ist.The present invention relates to a refrigerator and / or freezer with at least one interior for receiving the refrigerated or frozen goods and at least one door for closing the interior, wherein in the interior at least one container is arranged that has at least one opening, and wherein at least one door compartment is arranged on the door.

Bei integrierten Unterbaugeräten ist es bekannt, dass sich im Bereich des Gerätesockels eine Gemüseschale befindet. Diese Gemüseschale kann aufgrund des Geräteaufbaus nicht horizontal herausgezogen werden, so dass die Entnahme des Gemüses aus der Gemüseschale bzw. die Entnahme der Gemüseschale selbst nur von oben erfolgen kann.In the case of integrated base units, it is known that a vegetable tray is located in the area of the appliance base. This vegetable dish can not be pulled out horizontally due to the device structure, so that the removal of the vegetables from the vegetable dish or the removal of the vegetable dish itself can only be done from above.

Um eine zu starke Entfeuchtung sowie eine zu starke Abkühlung des in der Gemüseschale befindlichen Gutes zu verhindern besteht die Anforderung, dass die oben offene Seite der Gemüseschale möglichst durch eine Abdeckung geschlossen sein sollte. Andererseits besteht die Anforderung, dass der Zugriff für den Nutzer zu der Gemüseschale bzw. zu dem Behältnis nicht zu sehr erschwert werden sollte.In order to prevent excessive dehumidification and too much cooling of the goods located in the vegetable bowl, there is a requirement that the top open side of the vegetable dish should be closed as possible by a cover. On the other hand, there is a requirement that access for the user to the vegetable tray or to the container should not be made too difficult.

Aus der Druckschrift US 5,536,081 ist ein Kühlgerät bekannt, das Türabsteller aufweist, die als Abdeckung für ein im Innenraum des Gerätes befindlichen Aufnahmebereich für das Kühlgut dienen. US 5,536,081 offenbart ein Kühlgerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.From the publication US 5,536,081 a cooling device is known, which has door racks, which serve as a cover for a located in the interior of the device receiving area for the goods to be refrigerated. US 5,536,081 discloses a refrigerator according to the preamble of claim 1.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass der Nutzer einen einfachen Zugriff auf den Inhalt des Behältnisses hat und dass eine zu starke Entfeuchtung oder Abkühlung des darin befindlichen Gutes auf vergleichsweise einfache Art und Weise verhindert wird.The present invention is therefore the object of developing a refrigerator and / or freezer of the type mentioned in that the user has easy access to the contents of the container and that excessive dehumidification or cooling of the goods contained therein to relatively simple Way is prevented.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Danach ist vorgesehen, dass der wenigstens eine Türabsteller eine Tiefe aufweist, die derart gewählt ist, dass der Türabsteller bei geschlossener Tür wenigstens abschnittsweise als vollständige oder partielle Abdeckung der wenigstens einen Öffnung des Behältnisses dient.This object is achieved by a refrigerator and / or freezer with the features of claim 1. Thereafter, it is provided that the at least one door rack has a depth which is selected such that the door rack is at least partially used when the door is closed as a complete or partial cover of at least one opening of the container.

Erfindungsgemäß ist somit vorgesehen, dass die Abdeckung zumindest eines Teilbereiches einer Öffnung bzw. offenen Seite des Behältnisses bzw. der Gemüseschale durch einen Türabsteller erfolgt. Diese erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung eines Kühl- bzw. Gefriergerätes hat den Vorteil, dass der Türabsteller zumindest einen Teilbereich des Behältnisses beispielsweise oben und/oder frontseitig abdeckt, sofern die Tür geschlossen ist. Ist die Tür des Gerätes geöffnet, entsteht ein ausreichender freier Raum, durch den das Gut aus dem Behältnis entnommen bzw. in das Behältnis gelegt werden kann. Darüber hinaus wird der Vorteil erreicht, dass der Bereich oberhalb des Behältnisses sinnvoll genutzt wird, denn er dient als Ablagefläche in Form des Türabstellers.According to the invention, it is thus provided that the covering of at least a portion of an opening or open side of the container or the vegetable tray takes place through a door rack. This inventive design of a refrigerator or freezer has the advantage that the door rack at least a portion of the container, for example, top and / or front covers, if the door is closed. If the door of the device is opened, there is sufficient free space through which the goods can be removed from the container or placed in the container. In addition, the advantage is achieved that the area above the container is used meaningfully, because it serves as a storage space in the form of the door compartment.

Um eine effektive Abdeckung des wenigstens einen Behältnisses zu erreichen, ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass der Türabsteller eine vergleichsweise große Tiefe aufweist. Erfindungsgemäß befindet sich das Behältnis in einer Vertiefung im Boden bzw. im Sockelbereich des Gerätes.In order to achieve effective coverage of the at least one container, it is preferably provided that the door racks have a comparatively large depth. According to the invention, the container is located in a recess in the bottom or in the base region of the device.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Tiefe des Türabstellers derart gewählt ist, dass er im geschlossenen Zustand der Tür zumindest den vorderen, zur Tür gewandten Bereich des Behältnisses abdeckt. Grundsätzlich ist es ebenfalls denkbar, den Türabsteller in seiner Tiefe derart groß auszuführen, dass er die gesamte Öffnung des Behältnisses abdeckt.In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the depth of the door compartment is selected such that it covers at least the front, facing the door area of the container in the closed state of the door. In principle, it is also conceivable to make the door racks so large in their depth that they cover the entire opening of the container.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass wenigstens eine weitere Abdeckung vorgesehen ist, die einen Bereich, insbesondere den hinteren, von der Tür abgewandten Bereich des Behältnisses vorzugsweise oben abdeckt. In diesem Falle wird somit die gesamte Abdeckung des Behältnisses bei geschlossener Tür einerseits durch diese weitere Abdeckung und andererseits durch die Türabsteller bewirkt.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that at least one further cover is provided, which preferably covers an area, in particular the rear, remote from the door region of the container above. In this case, therefore, the entire cover of the container is effected with the door closed on the one hand by this further coverage and on the other hand by the door racks.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass der Türabsteller bei geschlossener Tür an die Abdeckung angrenzt, so dass eine möglichst geschlossene, d. h. durchgehende Abdeckung für den Behälter erzielt wird.Preferably, it is provided that the door racks adjacent to the cover with the door closed, so that a possible closed, d. H. continuous cover for the container is achieved.

Denkbar ist es, dass der Türabsteller über seine gesamte Länge, das heißt über die gesamte Breite der Tür, eine gleichbleibende Tiefe aufweist.It is conceivable that the door racks over its entire length, that is over the entire width of the door, a constant depth.

Denkbar ist es jedoch ebenfalls, dass der Türabsteller eine über seine Länge variierende Tiefe aufweist bzw. nicht über die gesamte Breite der Tür verläuft. Vorstellbar ist es, dass der Türabsteller in einem Bereich eine größere Tiefe aufweist als in einem anderen Bereich, was beispielsweise dann vorteilhaft sein kann, wenn nur ein Teilbereich des Türabstellers als Abdeckung für ein Behältnis benötigt wird. Es ist denkbar, dass mehrere Behältnisse vorgesehen, die beispielsweise nebeneinander angeordnet sind, wobei eine Abdeckung durch den Türabsteller nur für eines dieser Behältnisse benötigt wird. In diesem Fall kann es ausreichend sein, den Türabsteller nur in einem Teilbereich mit vergrößerter Tiefe auszuführen.However, it is also conceivable that the door racks have a varying depth along its length or does not extend over the entire width of the door. It is conceivable that the door racks in one area has a greater depth than in another area, which may be advantageous, for example, if only a portion of the door compartment is required as a cover for a container. It is conceivable that a plurality of containers provided, which are arranged for example next to each other, wherein a cover is required by the door rack only for one of these containers. In this case, it may be sufficient to carry out the door rack only in a partial area with increased depth.

Des weiteren ist es denkbar, mehrere hintereinander oder auch übereinander angeordnete Behältnisse vorzusehen, deren Öffnungen bzw. offene Seiten wenigstens teilweise durch einen oder mehrere Türabsteller abdeckbar sind. Sind mehrere Türabsteller übereinander angeordnet, können dementsprechend mehrere übereinander angeordnete Behältnisse durch die Türabsteller abgedeckt werden.Furthermore, it is conceivable to provide a plurality of containers arranged one behind the other or else one above the other, whose openings or open sides can at least partially be covered by one or more door racks. If several door racks are arranged one above the other, a plurality of containers arranged one above the other can accordingly be covered by the door racks.

In bevorzugter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der wenigstens eine Türabsteller eine Tiefe im Bereich von > 12 cm, vorzugsweise im Bereich zwischen 13 cm bis 30 cm und besonders bevorzugt im Bereich zwischen 15 cm und 25 cm aufweist.In a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the at least one door rack has a depth in the range of> 12 cm, preferably in the range between 13 cm to 30 cm and particularly preferably in the range between 15 cm and 25 cm.

Wie oben ausgeführt, kann vorgesehen sein, dass an der Tür mehrere Türabsteller angeordnet sind. Denkbar ist es, dass einer, mehrere oder alle dieser Türabsteller eine Tiefe aufweisen, so dass sie bei geschlossener Tür wenigstens abschnittsweise als vorzugsweise obere Abdeckung des oder der Behältnisse dienen.As stated above, it can be provided that several door racks are arranged on the door. It is conceivable that one, several or all of these door racks have a depth, so that they serve at least partially as a preferably upper cover of the container or containers when the door is closed.

Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, dass an der Tür mehrere Türabsteller angeordnet sind, von denen wenigstens zwei eine unterschiedliche Tiefe aufweisen. So ist es beispielsweise denkbar, dass nur der unterste der Türabsteller eine vergleichsweise große Tiefe aufweist, während die weiteren Türabsteller eine von üblichen Kühl- und/oder Gefriergeräten bekannte geringere Tiefe aufweisen.Furthermore, it can be provided that several door racks are arranged on the door, of which at least two have a different depth. For example, it is conceivable that only the lowest of the door racks has a comparatively large depth, while the other door racks have a known from conventional refrigerators and / or freezers smaller depth.

Erfindungsgemäß ist der wenigstens eine Türabsteller von der Tür abnehmbar ausgeführt.According to the invention, the at least one door rack is made detachable from the door.

Wird er nicht als Abdeckung benötigt, kann somit ein Türabsteller üblicher Tiefe eingesetzt werden. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn der Türabsteller bzw. die Tür derart ausgeführt ist, dass er an unterschiedlichen Positionen an der Tür montierbar ist. Auch dadurch ergibt sich eine besonders flexible Ausgestaltung des Gerätes, da je nach dem, auf welcher Höhe eine Abdeckung durch einen Türabsteller gewünscht ist, der Türabsteller entsprechend an der Tür angeordnet werden kann.If it is not needed as a cover, thus a door rack of usual depth can be used. It when the door rack or the door is designed such that it can be mounted at different positions on the door is particularly advantageous. This also results in a particularly flexible design of the device, since depending on the height at which a cover is desired by a door racks, the door racks can be arranged according to the door.

Wie eingangs ausgeführt, handelt es sich bei dem vorliegenden Gerät vorzugsweise um ein Unterbaugerät.As stated above, the present device is preferably an underbody device.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die wenigstens eine Öffnung des Behältnisses auf dessen Oberseite und/oder auf dessen Vorderseite angeordnet ist. Bei entsprechender Ausgestaltung des Türabstellers kann somit vorgesehen sein, dass nur eine oben offene Seite bzw. eine oben befindliche Öffnung Teilweise oder vollständig durch den Türabsteller abgedeckt wird. Alternativ oder zusätzlich ist es bei entsprechender Ausgestaltung der Türabstellers auch grundsätzlich denkbar, dass eine frontseitige Öffnung teilweise oder vollständig durch den Türabsteller abgedeckt wird, sofern die Tür geschlossen ist.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the at least one opening of the container is arranged on the upper side and / or on the front side thereof. With a corresponding embodiment of the door compartment can thus be provided that only an open top side or a top opening is partially or completely covered by the door rack. Alternatively or additionally, it is also conceivable in principle with appropriate design of the door compartment that a front opening is partially or completely covered by the door rack, if the door is closed.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Tiefe des Türabstellers veränderbar ist. Eine solche Veränderung kann beispielsweise dadurch bewirkt werden, dass frontseitig an den Türabsteller eine dessen Tiefe vergrößernde Platte oder dergleichen montiert, beispielsweise angeclipst wird. Ebenfalls ist es denkbar, den Türabsteller so auszuführen, dass er austeleskopierbar ist. Eine variable Tiefe des Türabstellers bringt den Vorteil mit sich, dass dieser nur dann in seiner vergrößerten Tiefe bereitgehalten werden muss, wenn er als Abdeckung für ein Behältnis, wie beispielsweise eine Gemüseschale dient. Ist dies nicht erwünscht, kann der Türabsteller in seiner Tiefe verringert werden. In diesem Fall kann beispielsweise der durch den Türabsteller ansonsten eingenommene Raum durch einen Ablageboden im Gerät eingenommen werden.In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the depth of the door compartment is changeable. Such a change can be effected, for example, by mounting, for example clipping, on the front of the door racks a plate or the like which increases its depth. It is also conceivable to execute the door rack so that it is telescopic. A variable depth of the door compartment has the advantage that it must be kept ready only in its increased depth when it serves as a cover for a container, such as a vegetable dish. If this is not desired, the door rack can be reduced in depth. In this case, for example, the space occupied by the door rack can be occupied by a shelf in the device.

Figur 1 zeigt mit dem Bezugszeichen 10 eine Tür eines erfindungsgemäßen Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerätes. Wie dies aus Figur 1 ersichtlich ist, sind an der Tür 10 mehrere übereinander angeordnete Türabsteller 20, 30 angeordnet. Der obere der Türabsteller 30 weist eine "normale" Tiefe im Bereich von ca. 11 cm auf. Unterhalb dieses Türabstellers 30 befindet sich ein weiterer Türabsteller 20, der eine wesentlich größere Tiefe aufweist, die in dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel im Bereich zwischen 15 cm und 25 cm liegt. Der unten angeordnete Türabsteller 20 ist derart angeordnet, dass er in seinem geschlossenen Zustand als obere Abdeckung für eine oben offene Gemüseschale 40 dient. Die Gemüseschale 40 befindet sich in einer Vertiefung im Gerätesockel und ist konstruktionsbedingt derart darin aufgenommen, dass sie nicht horizontal aus dem Innenraum des Gerätes herausgezogen werden kann. FIG. 1 shows by the reference numeral 10, a door of a refrigerator and / or freezer according to the invention. Like this FIG. 1 it can be seen, 10 several stacked door racks 20, 30 are arranged on the door. The upper of the door racks 30 has a "normal" depth in the range of about 11 cm. Below this door compartment 30 is another door rack 20, which has a much greater depth, which is in the embodiment shown here in the range between 15 cm and 25 cm. The bottom arranged door racks 20 is arranged such that it serves in its closed state as an upper cover for an open-topped vegetable dish 40. The vegetable dish 40 is located in a recess in the base of the device and, by design, is received in such a way that it can not be pulled out horizontally from the interior of the device.

Grundsätzlich ist es denkbar, den Türabsteller 20 so tief auszuführen, dass er die gesamte Oberseite bzw. die gesamte obere Öffnung der Gemüseschale 40 im geschlossenen Zustand der Tür 10 abdeckt. Ebenfalls von der Erfindung mit umfasst ist beispielsweise der Fall, dass der Türabsteller 30 bei geschlossener Tür 10 nur den vorderen Bereich der Gemüseschale 10 oben abdeckt. Der hintere Bereich kann in diesem Fall durch einen feststehenden oder bewegbaren, beispielsweise entnehmbaren, verschieblichen, austeleskopierbaren oder verschwenkbaren Ablageboden abgedeckt sein.In principle, it is conceivable to make the door racks 20 so deep that they cover the entire upper side or the entire upper opening of the vegetable dish 40 in the closed state of the door 10. Also included in the invention is, for example, the case that the door racks 30 with the door 10 closed covers only the front portion of the vegetable dish 10 above. The rear area can be covered in this case by a fixed or movable, for example, removable, movable, austeleskopierbaren or pivotable storage shelf.

Ist dies der Fall, sind der Ablageboden und der Türabsteller 20 derart dimensioniert, dass sie bei geschlossener Tür 10 vollständig oder zumindest annähernd aneinander grenzen, um eine möglichst geschlossene Abdeckung der Gemüseschale 40 zu erreichen und damit eine zu starke Entfeuchtung und zu starke Abkühlung des darin befindlichen Gutes zu verhindern.If this is the case, the storage shelf and door rack 20 are dimensioned such that they completely or at least approximately adjoin one another when the door 10 is closed in order to achieve as closed as possible a cover of the vegetable dish 40 and thus excessive dehumidification and excessive cooling of it to prevent the goods located.

Der Türabsteller 30 kann von der Innentür abnehmbar ausgeführt sein. In diesem Fall kann er durch einen herkömmlichen Türabsteller ersetzt werden, sofern er als Abdeckung für die Gemüseschale 40 nicht benötigt wird, etwa weil dort kein Gut gelagert wird, bei dem die Gefahr von zu starker Entfeuchtung oder zu starker Abkühlung besteht.The door rack 30 may be designed to be removable from the inner door. In this case, it can be replaced by a conventional door rack, if it is not needed as a cover for the vegetable dish 40, for example because there is no good stored, in which there is a risk of excessive dehumidification or excessive cooling.

Weiterhin ist es denkbar, dass der Türabsteller vergrößerter Tiefe an unterschiedlichen vertikalen Positionen an der Tür 10 angeordnet werden kann. Dies ist vorteilhaft, um auch die Möglichkeit zu haben, Behältnisse abzudecken, die auf unterschiedlichen Höhen im Gerät angeordnet werden sollen.Furthermore, it is conceivable that the door rack of increased depth can be arranged at different vertical positions on the door 10. This is advantageous in order to also be able to cover containers that are to be arranged at different heights in the device.

Weiterhin ist es möglich, dass der Türabsteller abweichend von dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 1 eine über seine Länge variable Tiefe aufweist. So ist es beispielsweise denkbar, dass der Türabsteller in einem Bereich eine bestimmte Tiefe und in einem anderen Bereich eine demgegenüber vergrößerte Tiefe aufweist. Dies kann sinnvoll sein, wenn eine Abdeckung nicht über die gesamte Länge des Türabstellers benötigt wird, sondern wenn beispielsweise nur ein Behälter von zwei nebeneinander liegenden oder nur ein seitlicher Teilbereich eines Behältnisses abgedeckt werden soll.Furthermore, it is possible that the door rack deviating from the embodiment according to FIG. 1 has a variable over its length depth. Thus, it is conceivable, for example, that the door rack has a certain depth in one area and an enlarged depth in another area. This may be useful if a cover is not required over the entire length of the door compartment, but if, for example, only a container of two adjacent or only a lateral portion of a container to be covered.

Die Höhe des Türabstellers 20 in Relation zu der offenen Seite bzw. Öffnung des Behältnisses 40 kann so gestaltet sein, dass sich kein oder nur ein geringer Abstand zwischen der Unterseite des Türabstellers 20 und der Öffnung bzw. der oben offenen Seite des Behältnisses 40 ergibt. Von der Erfindung ist jedoch auch der Fall mit umfasst, dass der Türabsteller 20 bei geschlossener Tür 10 einen gewissen Abstand von der Oberseite des Behältnisses 40 einnimmt.The height of the door compartment 20 in relation to the open side or opening of the container 40 may be designed so that no or only a small distance between the bottom of the door compartment 20 and the opening or the open side of the container 40 results. Of the invention, however, is also the case with includes that the door rack 20 occupies a certain distance from the top of the container 40 with the door 10 closed.

In dem in Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel dient der Türabsteller bzw. dessen Boden als obere Abdeckung für die Gemüseschale 40. Grundsätzlich ist auch der Fall mit umfasst, dass beispielsweise eine frontseitige Abdeckung der Gemüseschale 40 gewünscht wird, wozu der Türabsteller 20 auf seiner Unterseite netsprechend konturiert sein kann.In the in FIG. 1 Basically, the case with includes that, for example, a front-side cover of the vegetable dish 40 is desired, including the door rack 20 may be netsprechend contoured on its underside.

Durch die vorliegende Erfindung wird es möglich, einen einfachen Zugriff auf den Inhalt eines Behältnisses bzw. einer Gemüseschale 40 zu haben. Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass beim Öffnen der Tür 10 zwangsläufig ein Teil der Abdeckung der Gemüseschale 40 entfernt wird, ist eine Einhandbedienung möglich, wobei die Abdeckung in Form des Türabstellers als zusätzliche Abstellfläche dient.The present invention makes it possible to have easy access to the contents of a container or vegetable tray 40. Due to the fact that when opening the door 10 a part of the cover of the vegetable peel 40 is removed, a one-hand operation is possible, the cover in the form of the door compartment serves as additional storage space.

Figur 2 zeigt eine Ausgestaltung eines Kühl- und/oder Gefriergerätes gemäß dem Stand der Technik. Dort dargestellt sind zwei nebeneinander liegende Gemüseschalen 40 im Sockelbereich des Gerätes. In diesem Fall besteht ggf. die Gefahr, dass aufgrund der fehlenden oberen Abdeckung der Gemüseschalen 40 eine zu starke Entfeuchtung und gegebenenfalls zu starke Abkühlung des darin befindlichen Gutes besteht. FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a refrigerator and / or freezer according to the prior art. There are two juxtaposed vegetable dishes 40 in the base area of the device. In this case, there is the risk that due to the lack of upper cover of the vegetable peel 40 is too much dehumidification and possibly excessive cooling of the material therein.
