Wenn der Verdampfer in einer von der ersten Tiefenebene der Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung abweichenden zweiten Tiefenebene angeordnet ist, kann dies bedeuten, dass der Verdampfer in einem anderen Abstand von der Rückwand im Innenbehälter angeordnet ist als die Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung.The evaporator may be plate-shaped and / or have evaporator coils extending in a common plane. The evaporator can be arranged in an interior of the refrigeration device. The evaporator may extend at a distance from the rear wall of the inner container substantially parallel to the rear wall. In this position, the evaporator is arranged in the second depth plane. A depth plane is understood to mean a plane which is aligned substantially parallel to the rear wall and is positioned at a distance from the rear wall. If the evaporator is arranged in a second depth plane deviating from the first depth plane of the drip water collecting device, this can mean that the evaporator is arranged at a different distance from the rear wall in the inner container than the drip water collecting device.

Die Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung kann rinnenartig ausgeführt sein. Die Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung kann wenigstens einen schräg verlaufenden, d.h. abschüssigen Bodenabschnitt aufweisen. Die Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung kann insoweit ausgebildet sein, in der ersten Ebene abtropfendes Tropfwasser beispielsweise über die Breite des Innenbehälters aufzunehmen und mittels des abschüssigen Bodenabschnitts an eine Ablaufstelle, beispielsweise eine zentrale oder seitliche Ablaufstelle heranzuführen, um das gesammelte Tropfwasser durch die Ablaufstelle beispielsweise über ein Ablaufrohr oder eine Ablaufleitung bzw. Ablaufschlauch abzuführen, insbesondere aus dem Kältegerät herauszuführen. Das herausgeführte Tropfwasser kann anschließend beispielsweise einer Verdunstungsschale oberhalb eines Verdichters der Kältevorrichtung zugeführt werden.The drip-water collecting device can be executed trough-like. The drip-water collecting device may have at least one inclined, ie sloping bottom section. The drip water collecting device may be designed to absorb dripping water dripping in the first level, for example across the width of the inner container, and to guide it by means of the sloping bottom section to a drainage point, for example a central or lateral drainage point, for example to collect the collected dripping water through the drainage point via a drain pipe or drain line or drain hose dissipate, in particular lead out of the refrigerator. The led out dripping water can subsequently, for example, to an evaporation tray above a compressor of the refrigeration device.

Erfindungsgemäß ist die Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung in einer ersten Tiefenebene in einem Abstand von der Rückwand des Innenbehälters angeordnet und der Verdampfer in einer von der ersten Tiefenebene der Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung abweichenden zweiten Tiefenebene angeordnet. In dieser zweiten Tiefenebene des Verdampfers liegt die Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung außerhalb des Fallbereichs des von dem Verdampfer abtropfenden Tropfwassers. Mit anderen Worten ist der Verdampfer versetzt zur Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung angeordnet. Die erfindungsgemäße Umlenkeinrichtung ist derart angeordnet bzw. ausgebildet, dass das von dem Verdampfer abtropfende Tropfwasser in die erste Tiefenebene der Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung umgelenkt wird.According to the invention, the drip-water collecting device is arranged in a first depth plane at a distance from the rear wall of the inner container, and the evaporator is arranged in a second depth plane deviating from the first depth plane of the drip-water collecting device. In this second depth plane of the evaporator, the drip water collecting device is located outside the drop zone of the dripping water dripping from the evaporator. In other words, the evaporator is arranged offset to the drip water collecting device. The deflection device according to the invention is arranged or designed such that the dripping water dripping from the evaporator is deflected into the first depth plane of the drip-water collecting device.

In allen erfindungsgemäßen Varianten kann es sich bei dem Tropfwasser insbesondere um Kondenswasser und/oder Tauwasser handeln. Kondenswasser kann dabei beispielsweise durch Ausfallen von Luftfeuchtigkeit aus wärmerer, feuchter Umgebungsluft an den Oberflächen des kälteren Verdampfers entstehen. Tauwasser kann beispielsweise während eines Abtauvorgangs entstehen, wenn an den Oberflächen des Verdampfers festgefrorene Eisschichten durch eine Erwärmung über Null Grad Celsius zu Wasser auftauen.In all of the variants according to the invention, the dripping water may in particular be condensed water and / or condensation water. Condensation can arise, for example, by precipitation of humidity from warmer, moist ambient air on the surfaces of the colder evaporator. For example, condensation can occur during a defrosting operation when frozen ice layers on the evaporator surfaces thaw to water as a result of heating above zero degrees Celsius.

Die Umlenkeinrichtung kann zum Umlenken des sowohl von einer der Rückwand zugewandten Oberfläche der Verdampferplatte als auch von einer der Rückwand abgewandten Oberfläche der Verdampferplatte abtropfenden Tropfwassers ausgebildet sein. Dabei kann die Umlenkeinrichtung eine Tiefe aufweisen, die breiter ist als der Abstand zwischen einer der Rückwand zugewandten Oberfläche der Verdampferplatte und einer der Rückwand abgewandten Oberfläche der Verdampferplatte. Die Umlenkeinrichtung kann insbesondere ausgebildet sein, das von einer oder beiden Seiten bzw. Oberflächen der Verdampferplatte abtropfende Tropfwasser in eine Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung umzuleiten, die eine geringere Tiefe aufweist, als der Abstand zwischen einer der Rückwand zugewandten Oberfläche der Verdampferplatte und einer der Rückwand abgewandten Oberfläche der Verdampferplatte beträgt. So kannThe deflection device can be designed to deflect the dripping water dripping from both the rear wall surface of the evaporator plate and from the surface of the evaporator plate remote from the rear wall. In this case, the deflection device may have a depth which is wider than the distance between a surface of the evaporator plate facing the rear wall and a surface of the evaporator plate facing away from the rear wall. The deflection device can be designed, in particular, to redirect the dripping water dripping from one or both sides or surfaces of the evaporator plate into a drip-water collecting device which has a smaller depth than the distance between a surface of the evaporator plate facing the rear wall and a surface facing away from the rear wall the evaporator plate is. So can

Tropfwasser von einer breiteren Verdampferplatte in eine schmälere Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung, insbesondere Tropfwasser-Sammelrinne geleitet werden.Dripping water from a wider evaporator plate in a narrower drip water collector, in particular drip-collecting channel are passed.

Die Umlenkeinrichtung ist an wenigstens einer der Seitenwände nahe der Rückwand des Innenbehälters als separates Bauteil befestigt. Durch eine Befestigung der Umlenkeinrichtung als separates Bauteil in dem Innenbehälter des Kältegeräts kann die Umlenkeinrichtung aus dem Kältegerät entnommen werden. Durch die Möglichkeit einer Entnahme der Umlenkeinrichtung aus dem Kältegerät kann die Umlenkeinrichtung von einem Benutzer außerhalb des Kältegeräts leicht gereinigt und/oder eine defekte Umlenkeinrichtung durch eine neue Umlenkeinrichtung leicht ersetzt werden.The deflection device is attached to at least one of the side walls near the rear wall of the inner container as a separate component. By attaching the deflection as a separate component in the inner container of the refrigerator, the deflection can be removed from the refrigerator. Due to the possibility of removing the deflection device from the refrigeration device, the deflection device can be easily cleaned by a user outside the refrigeration device and / or a defective deflection device can be easily replaced by a new deflection device.

In allen Ausführungen kann die Umlenkeinrichtung an ihren gegenüberliegenden seitlichen Enden Haltevorsprünge aufweisen, welche in einer Montageposition der Umlenkeinrichtung zwischen jeweils zwei Vorsprüngen an den Seitenwänden des Innenbehälters formschlüssig gehalten sind. Die Umlenkeinrichtung kann dabei formschlüssig und/oder durch Klemmung an dem Innenbehälter lösbar befestigt sein. Die Vorsprünge an den Seitenwänden des Innenbehälters können durch Ausformungen der Seitenwand des Innenbehälters gebildet werden. Folglich können gesonderte Beschlagsmittel zum Halten der Umlenkeinrichtung entfallen. Die·Haltevorsprünge können derart ausgebildet sein, dass die Umlenkeinrichtung auf einfache Weise in gegenüberliegende Nuten an den Seitenwänden des Innenbehälters eingesetzt, insbesondere von oben eingesteckt werden können.In all embodiments, the deflecting device may have retaining projections at its opposite lateral ends, which are held positively in a mounting position of the deflection between each two projections on the side walls of the inner container. The deflecting device can be releasably secured to the inner container in a form-fitting manner and / or by clamping. The projections on the side walls of the inner container may be formed by formations of the side wall of the inner container. Consequently, separate fitting means for holding the deflection can be omitted. The holding projections can be designed such that the deflecting device can be inserted in a simple manner into opposite grooves on the side walls of the inner container, in particular from above.

In allen Ausführungen kann die Umlenkeinrichtung wenigstens eine Rastnut aufweisen, in welche in einer Montageposition der Umlenkeinrichtung eine Kante eines im Innenbehälter gehaltenen Fachbodens eingreift. Um die Umlenkeinrichtung in ihrer montierten Position, insbesondere in einer Position, in der die Haltevorsprünge zwischen jeweils zwei Vorsprüngen an den Seitenwänden des Innenbehälters formschlüssig gehalten sind, gegen unbeabsichtigtes Lösen zu sichern, kann die Umlenkeinrichtung die wenigstens eine Rastnut aufweisen, in welche in der Montageposition der Umlenkeinrichtung eine Kante eines im Innenbehälter gehaltenen Fachbodens eingreift. Die Kante des Fachbodens kann insoweit einen Riegel bilden, der in die wenigstens eine Rastnut, die insoweit wenigstens eine Falle bildet, formschlüssig verriegelnd eingreift.In all embodiments, the deflecting device may have at least one latching groove in which, in a mounting position of the deflecting device, an edge of a shelf held in the inner container engages. In order to secure the deflection device in its mounted position, in particular in a position in which the holding projections between each two projections on the side walls of the inner container form-fitting, to secure against unintentional loosening, the deflection device may have at least one locking groove, in which in the mounting position the deflecting engages an edge of a shelf held in the inner container. The edge of the shelf can so far form a bolt which engages positively locked in the at least one locking groove, which forms at least one trap so far.

Zum Lösen der Umlenkeinrichtung von dem Innenbehälter ist der Fachboden lediglich ein Stück nach vorne zu schieben oder der Fachboden kann vollständig aus dem Haushaltsgerät entnommen werden.To release the deflection of the inner container of the shelf is only a piece to push forward or the shelf can be completely removed from the household appliance.

In allen Ausführungen kann die Umlenkeinrichtung eine in Richtung der Rückwand abfallend geneigte Ablauffläche aufweisen. Durch eine in Richtung der Rückwand abfallend geneigte Ablauffläche der Umlenkeinrichtung wird Tropfwasser von einem weiteren Abstand von der Rückwand zu einem näheren Abstand von der Rückwand geführt. Daneben kann durch eine in Richtung der Rückwand abfallend geneigte Ablauffläche der Umlenkeinrichtung ein Herausspritzen von Tropfwasser in den Lagerraum für Kühlgut zumindest vermindert, wenn nicht gar vollständig unterbunden werden. Folglich kann vermieden oder verhindert sein, dass im Kältegerät gelagertes Kühlgut durch Tropfwasser befeuchtet bzw. beschmutzt wird.In all embodiments, the deflection device may have a sloping sloping in the direction of the rear wall drainage surface. By a sloping in the direction of the rear wall sloping surface of the deflection dripping water is guided by a further distance from the rear wall to a closer distance from the rear wall. In addition, can be at least reduced, if not completely prevented by a sloping in the direction of the rear wall sloping surface of the deflection of a splash of dripping water in the storage room for refrigerated goods. Consequently, it can be avoided or prevented that refrigerated goods stored in the refrigeration appliance are moistened or soiled by dripping water.

In allen Ausführungen kann die Umlenkeinrichtung unterhalb der Ablauffläche eine im Wesentlichen horizontal verlaufende Standfläche aufweisen, welche einen Teil einer Sammelfläche der Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung überdeckt. Mittels der im Wesentlichen horizontal verlaufenden Standfläche wird die Sammelfläche der Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung von oben teilweise überdeckt. Folglich kann zwar Tropfwasser durch einen geringfügigen Spalt von der horizontal verlaufenden Standfläche in die Sammelfläche der Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung abfließen, es kann jedoch kein Tropfwasser von der Sammelfläche der Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung zurückspritzen in die Umlenkeinrichtung oder sogar in den Lagerraum für Kühlgut. Folglich kann zusätzlich vermieden oder verhindert sein, dass im Kältegerät gelagertes Kühlgut durch Tropfwasser befeuchtet bzw. beschmutzt wird. Außerdem können Geräusche, insbesondere Tropfgeräusche, die durch auf die Sammelfläche der Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung herabfallende Tropfen des Tropfwassers verursacht werden, reduziert oder sogar ganz vermieden werden.In all embodiments, the deflecting device below the drainage surface may have a substantially horizontally extending standing surface which covers a part of a collecting surface of the drip-water collecting device. By means of the substantially horizontally extending stand surface, the collecting surface of the drip-collecting device is partially covered from above. Consequently, although dripping water can flow off through a slight gap from the horizontally extending standing surface in the collecting surface of the drip water collector, but no dripping water from the collecting surface of the drip water collector splash back into the deflection or even in the storage room for refrigerated goods. Consequently, it can additionally be avoided or prevented that refrigerated goods stored in the refrigeration appliance are moistened or soiled by dripping water. In addition, noises, in particular dripping noises, which are caused by drops of the dripping water falling onto the collecting surface of the drip-water collecting device can be reduced or even completely avoided.

In allen Ausführungen kann die Umlenkeinrichtung oberhalb der Ablauffläche eine sich im Wesentlichen horizontal nach oben erstreckende, insbesondere vertikal verlaufende Schutzwand aufweisen. Die Schutzwand kann sich dabei zumindest im Wesentlichen parallel zur Rückwand des Innenbehälters erstrecken. Die Schutzwand kann dazu dienen, einen Anschlag zu bilden für eine der Rückwand zugewandte Hinterkante eines Fachbodens. So kann verhindert sein, dass der Fachboden an der Rückwand des Innenbehälters ansteht, wodurch beispielsweise ein Ablaufen von Tropfwasser entlang der Rückwand des Innenbehälters verhindert wäre. Gleichzeitig kann die Schutzwand dazu dienen, auf einem Fachboden gelagertes Kühlgut von der Rückwand des Innenbehälters fern zu halten. Folglich kann verhindert sein, dass Kühlgut durch Kontakt mit der Rückwand des Innenbehälters zu stark gekühlt wird und/oder Geräusche verursacht.In all embodiments, the deflection device may have a substantially horizontally upwardly extending, in particular vertically extending protective wall above the drainage surface. The protective wall may extend at least substantially parallel to the rear wall of the inner container. The protective wall can serve to form a stop for a rear edge of a rear wall facing the rear wall Shelf. Thus, it can be prevented that the shelf is present on the rear wall of the inner container, whereby, for example, drainage of dripping water along the rear wall of the inner container would be prevented. At the same time, the protective wall can serve to keep refrigerated goods stored on a shelf away from the rear wall of the inner container. Consequently, it can be prevented that refrigerated goods are cooled too much by contact with the rear wall of the inner container and / or causes noise.

Die Schutzwand kann ausgebildet sein, ein Spritzen von abtropfendem Tropfwasser in einen Kühlgutlagerraum zu verhindern. Die Schutzwand kann sich dabei zumindest im Wesentlichen parallel zur Rückwand des Innenbehälters erstrecken. Die Schutzwand kann dazu dienen, ein Herausspritzen von Tropfwasser in den Kühlgutlagerraum zumindest zu vermindern, wenn nicht gar vollständig zu unterbinden. Folglich kann durch die Schutzwand zusätzlich vermieden oder verhindert sein, dass im Kältegerät gelagertes Kühlgut durch Tropfwasser befeuchtet bzw. beschmutzt wird.The protective wall can be designed to prevent a splash of dripping water dripping into a refrigerated goods storage space. The protective wall may extend at least substantially parallel to the rear wall of the inner container. The protective wall can serve to at least reduce, if not completely prevent, the splashing out of dripping water into the refrigerated goods storage space. Consequently, it can be additionally avoided or prevented by the protective wall that stored refrigerated goods are moistened by dripping water or soiled.

Alternativ oder ergänzend kann die Schutzwand ausgebildet sein, auf einem Fachboden gelagertes Kühlgut von der Rückwand fernzuhalten. Folglich kann verhindert sein, dass Kühlgut durch Kontakt mit der Rückwand des Innenbehälters zu stark gekühlt wird und/oder Geräusche verursacht.Alternatively or additionally, the protective wall can be designed to keep refrigerated goods stored on a shelf from the rear wall. Consequently, it can be prevented that refrigerated goods are cooled too much by contact with the rear wall of the inner container and / or causes noise.

Zusammenfassend und mit anderen Worten ausgedrückt, kann eine erfindungsgemäße Umlenkeinrichtung einen Anschlag für Kühlgut aufweisen, damit Kühlgut nicht zu weit nach hinten, d.h. nicht zu weit in Richtung der Rückwand des Innenbehälters zum Wasserablauf geschoben werden kann.In summary, and in other words, a deflection device according to the invention can have a stop for goods to be cooled, so that refrigerated goods are not too far back, i. not too far in the direction of the rear wall of the inner container can be pushed to the water outlet.

Die Umlenkeinrichtung, die insbesondere als Schiene ausgebildet sein kann, kann getrennt von einer Glasplatte vormontiert sein. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass, die Glasplatte insbesondere während eines Montageprozesses besser gehandhabt werden kann.The deflection device, which can be designed in particular as a rail, can be pre-assembled separately from a glass plate. This has the advantage that, the glass plate can be handled better, in particular during an assembly process.

Mittels der Umlenkeinrichtung kann herab tropfendes Wasser und/oder Eis aufgefangen und dem Wasserablauf zugeführt werden.By means of the deflection can be collected down dripping water and / or ice and fed to the water outlet.

Die Umlenkeinrichtung, die insbesondere als Schiene ausgebildet sein kann, kann für einen Kunden entnehmbar sein. Die Umlenkeinrichtung, insbesondere die Schiene kann einfach montierbar sein. Sie kann gegen Herausfallen gesichert sein. Sie kann auch bei Liegendtransport und/oder bei einer Fallprüfung gegen Herausfallen gesichert sein.The deflection device, which may be designed in particular as a rail, may be removable for a customer. The deflection device, in particular the rail can be easily mounted. It can be secured against falling out. It can also be secured against falling out during lying transport and / or during a drop test.

Die Umlenkeinrichtung, die insbesondere als Schiene ausgebildet sein kann, kann für unterschiedliche Ausstattungs-/Glasplattenvarianten verwendet werden. Die Umlenkeinrichtung, insbesondere die Schiene kann eine Abdeckung der Wasserablaufgeometrie des Kühlgutbehälters bilden.The deflection device, which can be designed in particular as a rail, can be used for different equipment / glass plate variants. The deflection device, in particular the rail can form a cover of the water drainage geometry of the refrigerated goods container.

Die Umlenkeinrichtung kann insbesondere derart montiert werden, dass zunächst die Umlenkeinrichtung, insbesondere eine als Wasserablaufschiene ausgebildete Umlenkeinrichtung in den Kühlgutbehälter einhängt wird. Anschließend kann ein Fachboden, wie beispielsweise ein Glasplatte eingeschoben und damit die Umlenkeinrichtung bzw. die Wasserablaufschiene verriegelt werden.The deflection device can in particular be mounted in such a way that initially the deflection device, in particular a deflection device designed as a water drainage rail, is hooked into the refrigerated goods container. Subsequently, a shelf, such as a glass plate inserted and thus the deflection or the water drainage rail are locked.

Die Umlenkeinrichtung kann eine Wasserauffanggeometrie aufweisen, durch die herabtropfendes Wasser über eine Schräge nach hinten geleitet und dem Wasserablauf zugeführt werden kann. Gleichzeitig kann die Schräge das Spritzen Richtung Kühlgut verhindern. Ein Abstand zwischen Umlenkeinrichtung, bzw. Schiene und Innenbehälter kann eine Kapillarwirkung verhindern. Durch die Umlenkeinrichtung kann eine gezielte Wasserübergabe an eine Tropfkante, insbesondere in eine Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung erfolgen.The deflection device may have a Wasserauffanggeometrie, can be passed through the dripping water over a slope to the rear and the water outlet can be supplied. At the same time, the slope can prevent spraying in the direction of refrigerated goods. A distance between deflection, or rail and inner container can prevent capillary action. The deflection device can be used to selectively transfer water to a drip edge, in particular into a drip water collector.

Die Umlenkeinrichtung kann einen Anschlag für Kühlgut aufweisen, der verhindern kann, dass beispielsweise kleines Kühlgut nach hinten, d.h. in Richtung des Wasserablaufs von dem Fachboden, insbesondere von der Glasplatte fällt. Außerdem kann die Umlenkeinrichtung mittels eines Abstandshalters für Abstand zum Verdampfer sorgen.The deflection device may have a stop for goods to be cooled, which may prevent, for example, small goods to be cooled to the rear, i. falls in the direction of the water drain from the shelf, in particular from the glass plate. In addition, the deflection can provide by means of a spacer for distance to the evaporator.

Eine optionale Auflagerippe an der Umlenkeinrichtung gewährleistet einen festen Sitz der Umlenkeinrichtung an dem Innenbehälter bei montiertem Fachboden bzw. bei montierter Glasplatte. Der Fachboden bzw. die Glasplatte, welche durch die Behältergeometrie von oben und unten gehalten wird, kann seitlich in die Schiene eingreifen und die Schiene dadurch in ihrer Montageposition fixieren, d.h. formschlüssig halten.An optional support rib on the deflector ensures a tight fit of the deflector to the inner container with mounted shelf or mounted glass plate. The shelf or the glass plate, which is held by the container geometry from above and below, can engage laterally in the rail and thereby fix the rail in its mounting position, ie hold form-fitting.

Eine schräg verlaufende Sammelrinne der Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung kann durch eine gerade, d.h. horizontal ausgerichtete Standfläche der Umlenkeinrichtung zumindest teilweise abgedeckt sein.An inclined collection trough of the drip-water collecting device can be replaced by a straight, i. be horizontally aligned footprint of the deflection at least partially covered.

Statt der dargestellten einzigen Tragrippe 7, 8 können an jeder seitlichen Innenwand 4, 5 zwei oder mehrere Tragrippen 7, 8 in Abständen übereinander angeordnet sein. In derartigen Ausführung kann ein Fachboden 9 dann wahlweise in unterschiedlichen Höhenlagen in das Haushaltskältegerät 1 eingesetzt werden. Jede Tragrippe 7,8 kann eine stabartige Grundform aufweisen. Jede Tragrippe 7, 8 kann dabei einen rechteckigen oder quadratischen Querschnitt aufweisen. Jede Tragrippe 7, 8 kann sich von einer frontseitigen Öffnung des Haushaltskältegeräts 1 bis an Rückwand 3 heran erstrecken.

Die wenigstens eine Aufnahme 12 ist im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel nahe der Rückwand 3 des Innenbehälters 2 angeordnet. Die Aufnahme 12 wird durch zwei in einem Abstand angeordneter, im Wesentlichen in einer horizontalen Ebene verlaufender Flächen gebildet, zwischen denen ein Teilabschnitt des Fachbodens 9 einschiebbar ist. Auf der unteren Fläche der Aufnahme 12 liegt der Fachboden 9 auf. Durch die obere Fläche der Aufnahme 12 ist der Fachboden 9 gegen Kippen bzw. Ausweichen nach oben gesichert. Die untere und obere Fläche der Aufnahme 12 sind in einem Abstand voneinander angeordnet, der nur geringfügig die Dicke des Fachbodens übersteigt. Die untere und obere Fläche können insbesondere im Wesentlichen in parallel zueinander verlaufenden Ebenen, insbesondere horizontalen Ebenen angeordnet sein.The at least one receptacle 12 is arranged close to the rear wall 3 of the inner container 2 in the illustrated embodiment. The receptacle 12 is formed by two spaced-apart, substantially in a horizontal plane extending surfaces between which a portion of the shelf 9 is inserted. On the lower surface of the receptacle 12 of the shelf 9 is located. Through the upper surface of the receptacle 12 of the shelf 9 is secured against tilting or evading upward. The lower and upper surfaces of the receptacle 12 are spaced apart a distance that only slightly exceeds the thickness of the shelf. The lower and upper surfaces can in particular be arranged essentially in planes extending parallel to one another, in particular horizontal planes.

Die wenigstens eine Aufnahme 12 wird im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel zumindest teilweise durch einen Vorsprung 13 an der Innenwand 4, 5 des Innenbehälters 2 und der Tragrippe 7, 8 gebildet. Der Vorsprung 13 kann unmittelbar an die Rückwand 3 angrenzen bzw. teilweise von der Rückwand 3 des Innenbehälters 2 gebildet werden.The at least one receptacle 12 is in the illustrated embodiment, at least partially by a projection 13 on the inner wall 4, 5 of the inner container 2 and the Supporting rib 7, 8 formed. The projection 13 can be directly adjacent to the rear wall 3 or partially formed by the rear wall 3 of the inner container 2.

Der Vorsprung 13 und/oder die Tragrippen 7, 8 werden im Ausführungsbeispiel durch eine im Tiefziehverfahren hergestellte, in den Kühlgutlagerraum 6 vorspringende Wandausformung des Innenbehälters 2 gebildet.The projection 13 and / or the support ribs 7, 8 are formed in the exemplary embodiment by a deep-drawn method, projecting into the Kühlgutlagerraum 6 Wandausformung the inner container 2.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel begrenzen der Vorsprung 13 und die Tragrippe 7, 8 eine Aufnahmenut 14 für den Fachboden 9, die sich zumindest über einen Teilabschnitt entlang wenigstens einer der beiden Seitenkanten 9c des Fachbodens 9 erstreckt. Dabei kann sich, wie im Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellt, die Aufnahmenut 14 über eine Länge zwischen 20% und 5%, insbesondere zwischen 15% und 10% der Tiefe des Fachbodens 9 ausgehend von der Rückwand 3 des Innenbehälters 2 nach vorne erstrecken.In the exemplary embodiment, the projection 13 and the support rib 7, 8 define a receiving groove 14 for the shelf 9, which extends at least over a partial section along at least one of the two side edges 9c of the shelf 9. Here, as shown in the embodiment, the receiving groove 14 extend over a length between 20% and 5%, in particular between 15% and 10% of the depth of the shelf 9, starting from the rear wall 3 of the inner container 2 to the front.

Das in Fig. 2 in einer vergrößerten perspektivischen Schnittansicht dargestellte Haushaltskältegerät 1 zeigt eine Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung 10 und eine erfindungsgemäße Umlenkeinrichtung 11. Das Haushaltskältegerät 1 ist mit einer nicht dargestellten Kältevorrichtung ausgestattet, die operativ mit einem Verdampfer 17 verbunden ist. Der Verdampfer 17 ist im Kühlgutlagerraum 6 angeordnet. Die Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung 10 ist in einer ersten Tiefenebene T1 in einem Abstand von der Rückwand 3 des Innenbehälters 2 angeordnet. Der Verdampfer 17 ist in einer von der ersten Tiefenebene T1 der Tropfwasser-Sammeleinrichtung 10 abweichenden zweiten Tiefenebene T2 angeordnet. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel weist die zweite Tiefenebene T2 einen größeren Abstand von der Rückwand 3 auf, als die erste Tiefenebene T1.This in Fig. 2 1 shows a drip water collecting device 10 and a deflection device 11 according to the invention. The household refrigerating device 1 is equipped with a refrigerating device, not shown, which is operatively connected to an evaporator 17. The evaporator 17 is arranged in the refrigerated goods storage room 6.
