Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Rastvorrichtung für einen Türabsteller eines Kältegeräts zu schaffen, welche bei Benutzung im Kältegerät zuverlässig an dem Türabsteller gehalten ist und bei Bedarf leicht von dem Türabsteller gelöst werden kann.The object of the invention is to provide a locking device for a door racks of a refrigerator, which is held in use in the refrigerator reliably on the door racks and can be easily solved if necessary by the door racks.
Unter einem Kältegerät wird insbesondere ein Haushaltskältegerät verstanden, also ein Kältegerät das zur Haushaltsführung in Haushalten oder im Gastronomiebereich eingesetzt wird, und insbesondere dazu dient Lebensmittel und/oder Getränke bei bestimmten Temperaturen zu lagern, wie beispielsweise ein Kühlschrank, ein Gefrierschrank, eine Kühlgefrierkombination oder ein Weinkühlschrank.A refrigeration device is understood in particular to be a household refrigeration appliance, that is to say a refrigeration appliance that is used for housekeeping in households or in the gastronomy sector, and in particular for storing foods and / or drinks at specific temperatures, such as, for example, a refrigerator, a freezer, a refrigerated freezer combination or a refrigerator wine fridge.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch ein Kältegerät, insbesondere Haushaltskältegerät, aufweisend eine Tür mit einer Türinnenseite, die Rastmittel aufweist, welche zum Halten eines Türabstellers an der Türinnenseite mit korrespondierenden Gegenrastmitteln wenigstens einer Rastvorrichtung zusammenwirken, die als separates Bauteil an dem Türabsteller befestigt ist und zum Lösen des Gegenrastmittels von dem Rastmittel eine Entriegelungstaste aufweist, wobei die Rastvorrichtung zu ihrer Befestigung an dem Türabsteller ein Gegensteckmittel aufweist, das in einer Montagesteckrichtung mit einem Steckmittel des Türabstellers zusammenzufügen ist, die abweichend von einer zur Betätigungsrichtung der Entriegelungstaste antiparallelen Richtung verläuft, und die Rastvorrichtung einen zwischen Gegensteckmittel und Gegenrastmittel angeordneten Federabschnitt aufweist, wobei der Federabschnitt einstückig mit dem Gegensteckmittel, dem Gegenrastmittel und der Entriegelungstaste ausgebildet und die Rastvorrichtung in eine nach außen hin offene, eine Ecke zwischen einer Seitenwand und einer Rückwand des Türabstellers umgreifende Aufnahmenische des Türabstellers eingesetzt ist.The object is achieved by a refrigerator, in particular household refrigeration appliance, comprising a door having a door inside, the locking means which cooperate for holding a door compartment on the inside of the door with corresponding counter-latching means at least one latching device which is attached as a separate component to the door compartment and the Loosening of the counter-latching means of the latching means having an unlocking, wherein the latching device for its attachment to the door rack has a counter-plug means, in an assembly plug-in direction with a Plug-in means of the door compartment is to assemble, which deviates from an antiparallel to the direction of actuation of the unlocking button direction, and the locking device has a counter-locking means and Gegenrastmittel arranged spring portion, wherein the spring portion integrally formed with the mating plug means, the counter-latching means and the unlocking and the latching device in a open towards the outside, a corner between a side wall and a rear wall of the door compartment embracing receiving tables of the door compartment is inserted.
Indem die Montagesteckrichtung abweichend von einer zur Betätigungsrichtung der Entriegelungstaste antiparallelen Richtung verläuft, ist verhindert, dass durch Drücken der Entriegelungstaste in Betätigungsrichtung die Rastvorrichtung von dem Türabsteller gedrückt wird bzw. das Gegensteckmittel der Rastvorrichtung sich von dem Steckmittel des Türabstellers löst. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass ein sonst, wie im Stand der Technik erforderliches zusätzliches Befestigungsmittel, wie beispielsweise eine zusätzliche Rastung entfallen kann. Eine zusätzliche Rastung hätte außerdem den Nachteil, dass die Rastvorrichtungen durch einen Benutzer nicht in einfacher Weise von dem Türabsteller gelöst werden könnten, wie dies aber beispielsweise zu Reinigungszwecken wünschenswert ist.By the mounting plug direction deviates from a direction antiparallel to the direction of actuation of the release button, it is prevented that the latching device is pressed by pressing the release button in the direction of actuation of the door rack or the mating plug means of the latching device is released from the plug means of the door compartment. This has the advantage that an otherwise, as required in the prior art additional attachment means, such as an additional detent can be omitted. An additional detent would also have the disadvantage that the locking devices by a user could not be easily solved by the door racks, but as is desirable, for example, for cleaning purposes.
Mit einer abweichend von einer zur Betätigungsrichtung der Entriegelungstaste antiparallelen Richtung verlaufenden Montagesteckrichtung wird verstanden, dass die Montagesteckrichtung nicht entgegengesetzt zur Betätigungsrichtung verlaufen soll. Denn dann würde unerwünschter Weise die Betätigungsrichtung der Entriegelungstaste in der Demontagerichtung der Rastvorrichtung verlaufen. So soll durch das Drücken der Betätigungsrichtung sich das Gegenrastmittel nicht von dem Rastmittel lösen können.With a different from a direction of actuation of the release button antiparallel direction extending mounting plug direction is understood that the mounting plug direction should not run opposite to the direction of actuation. Because then would undesirably extend the direction of actuation of the release button in the disassembly direction of the locking device. Thus, by pressing the operating direction, the counter-locking means can not be released from the locking means.
Die Rastvorrichtung kann zu ihrer Befestigung an dem Türabsteller ein Gegensteckmittel aufweisen, das in einer Montagesteckrichtung mit einem Steckmittel des Türabstellers zusammenzufügen ist, die kreuzend zur Betätigungsrichtung der Entriegelungstaste verläuft. Mit anderen Worten soll die Montagesteckrichtung vorzugsweise quer zur Betätigungsrichtung der Entriegelungstaste orientiert sein. Als kreuzend wird einerseits windschief im mathematischen Sinne verstanden, so dass sich die Montagesteckrichtung und die Betätigungsrichtung nicht scheiden, aber andererseits soll auch ein kreuzen von Montagesteckrichtung und die Betätigungsrichtung verstanden werden, bei der sich die beiden Richtungen in einem Punkt unter einem Winkel schneiden. Der windschiefe Kreuzungswinkel bzw. der Schnittwinkel kann insbesondere 90 Grad betragen d.h. rechtwinkelig sein.The locking device may have to its attachment to the door rack a mating plug means which is to assemble in a mounting plug direction with a plug-in means of the door compartment, which extends crossing to the operating direction of the unlocking button. In other words, the mounting plug direction should preferably be oriented transversely to the direction of actuation of the unlocking button. As crossing on the one hand skewed understood in the mathematical sense, so that the mounting bracket direction and the actuation direction is not different, but on the other hand, a crossing of mounting bracket direction and the actuation direction is understood, in which the two directions intersect at a point at an angle. The crooked crossing angle or the angle of intersection may in particular be 90 degrees, ie be at right angles.
Das Gegenrastmittel kann zwischen der Entriegelungstaste und dem Gegensteckmittel an der Rastvorrichtung angeordnet sein. Indem das Gegenrastmittel zwischen der Entriegelungstaste und dem Gegensteckmittel angeordnet ist, wird ein großer Abstand zwischen Entriegelungstaste und Gegensteckmittel realisiert, so dass ein deutlicher Abstand zwischen der Betätigungsrichtung und der Montagesteckrichtung sichergestellt ist, der u.a. bewirkt, dass ein gewisser Hebelabstand geschaffen wird, der zusätzlich verhindert, dass die Rastvorrichtung bei Betätigung der Entriegelungstaste sich unbeabsichtigt von dem Türabsteller löst.The counter-latching means may be arranged between the unlocking button and the counter-plugging means on the latching device. By the counter-latching means between the unlock button and the mating plug means is arranged, a large distance between the unlocking and mating plug means is realized, so that a clear distance between the actuating direction and the mounting plug direction is ensured, inter alia, that a certain lever spacing is created, which additionally prevents the latching device when actuated the release button unintentionally releases from the door racks.
Dabei kann das Gegenrastmittel von wenigstens zwei Rastnasen gebildet werden, die in einem an der Türinnenseite gehaltene Zustand des Türabstellers in korrespondierende Ausnehmungen des Rastmittels eingreifen. Durch die Verwendung von zwei Rastnasen wird eine Redundanz geschaffen, welche die Sicherheit erhöht, dass der Türabsteller zuverlässig in seiner Höhenposition an der Innenseite der Tür gehalten wird. So kann beispielsweise einer der beiden Rastnasen ausfallen, beispielsweise durch Abbrechen oder Abschleifen und der Türabsteller wird durch die verbleibenden funktionsfähige Rastnase weiterhin zuverlässig an der Innenseite der Tür gehalten.In this case, the counter-locking means can be formed by at least two locking lugs, which engage in a held on the inside of the door state of the door compartment in corresponding recesses of the locking means. By using two detents, a redundancy is created, which increases the security that the door racks are reliably held in its height position on the inside of the door. Thus, for example, one of the two locking lugs can fail, for example, by breaking off or abrading, and the door racks are still held reliably by the remaining functional latching lug on the inside of the door.
Die wenigstens zwei Rastnasen können in Längserstreckung einer Vielzahl von linear verteilten Ausnehmungen des Rastmittels folgend ausgerichtet sein. Neben lediglich einer einzelnen Ausnehmung in einer einzigen Höhe an der Tür können auch Vielzahl von linear verteilten Ausnehmungen an der Tür vorgesehen sein, um den Türabsteller in einer Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Höhenlagen halten zu können.The at least two latching lugs may be aligned in the longitudinal extension of a plurality of linearly distributed recesses of the latching means following. In addition to only a single recess in a single height on the door and a plurality of linearly distributed recesses may be provided on the door to hold the door racks in a variety of different heights can.
In allen erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltungen weist die Rastvorrichtung einen zwischen Gegensteckmittel und Gegenrastmittel angeordneten Federabschnitt auf. Der Federabschnitt sorgt dafür, dass nach einem Loslassen der Entriegelungstaste das Gegenrastmittel bzw. die wenigsten eine Rastnase wieder in ihre Ausgangsstellung zurückkehrt, in der sie in der Montageposition des Türabstellers an der Tür in die zugehörige Ausnehmung des Rastmittels eingreift, um den Türabsteller an der Tür zu halten.In all embodiments according to the invention, the latching device has a spring section arranged between counter-plugging means and counter-latching means. The spring section ensures that after releasing the release button, the counter-locking means or the least one locking lug returns to its original position, in which it engages in the mounting position of the door compartment on the door in the associated recess of the locking means to the door racks on the door to keep.
Der Federabschnitt kann von einer Federzunge gebildet werden, welche in Verbindung mit einem das Gegensteckmittel aufweisenden ersten Rastvorrichtungsbauteil und einem die Entriegelungstaste aufweisenden zweiten Rastvorrichtungsbauteil die Rastvorrichtung bildet. Die Federzunge kann insbesondere eine metallische Federzunge sein. Die Federzunge kann beispielsweise aus einem Metallwerkstoff, insbesondere vollständig aus einem Metallwerkstoff hergestellt sein. Die Rastvorrichtung kann insoweit mehrteilig ausgebildet sein. Beispielsweise können zwei gegenüberliegende Kunststoffteile von Rastvorrichtungsbauteilen mittels einer metallischen Federzunge miteinander verbunden sein.The spring section can be formed by a spring tongue, which forms the latching device in conjunction with a first latching device component having the counter-plugging means and a second latching device component having the unlocking button. The spring tongue can in particular be a metallic spring tongue. The spring tongue, for example, of a metal material, in particular completely from a Be made of metal material. The locking device may be formed in several parts. For example, two opposite plastic parts of locking device components may be connected to each other by means of a metallic spring tongue.
Der Federabschnitt ist einstückig, insbesondere einstoffig mit dem Gegensteckmittel, dem Gegenrastmittel und der Entriegelungstaste ausgebildet sein. In diesem Fall kann insbesondere die gesamte Rastvorrichtung aus Kunststoff hergestellt sein. dabei ist auch der Federabschnitt bzw. die Federzunge aus einem Kunststoffmaterial hergestellt.The spring portion is integrally formed, in particular einstoffig with the mating plug means, the counter-latching means and the unlocking button. In this case, in particular, the entire latching device may be made of plastic. In this case also the spring portion or the spring tongue is made of a plastic material.
In allen erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltungen ist die Rastvorrichtung in eine nach außen hin offene Aufnahmenische des Türabstellers eingesetzt. Die Rastvorrichtung ist in eine nach außen hin offene, eine Ecke zwischen einer Seitenwand und einer Rückwand des Türabstellers umgreifende Aufnahmenische des Türabstellers eingesetzt. Aufgrund der nach außen hin offene Aufnahmenische kann der Türabsteller mit geschlossenen Wandungen ausgeführt werden. Mit anderen Worten weist der Türabsteller dabei keine Durchbrüche oder Spalte auf. So kann beispielsweise Flüssigkeit wie Wasser in den Türabsteller eingefüllt werden, ohne dass diese herauslaufen kann. Als weitere Vorteil sind dabei die geschlossenen Wandungen des Türabstellers leichter zu reinigen. Vor einer Reinigung können die gesteckten Rastvorrichtung auf einfache Weise von dem Türabsteller entfernt werden. So können auch die Aufnahmenischen gut gereinigt werden. Die Aufnahmenische kann dazu von einer geschlossenwandigen Einformung einer Wand, insbesondere der Seitenwand und/oder der Rückwand des Türabstellers gebildet werden.In all embodiments according to the invention, the latching device is inserted into an outwardly open receiving recess of the door compartment. The latching device is inserted into an outwardly open, a corner between a side wall and a rear wall of the door compartment embracing receiving tables of the door compartment. Due to the open to the outside recording tables, the door rack can be executed with closed walls. In other words, the door rack has no openings or gaps. Thus, for example, liquid such as water can be filled into the door racks without them running out. As a further advantage, the closed walls of the door compartment are easier to clean. Before cleaning the inserted locking device can be easily removed from the door racks. So also the recording tables can be cleaned well. The receiving tables can be formed by a closed-wall molding of a wall, in particular the side wall and / or the rear wall of the door compartment.
In allen erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltungen kann das Steckmittel eine am Türabsteller ausgebildete Lasche sein, die in der Montageposition in eine korrespondierende Tasche der Rastvorrichtung eingreift. Die Rastvorrichtung wird also durch bloßes Aufstecken auf die Lasche des Türabstellers an diesem befestigt.In all embodiments according to the invention, the plug-in means may be a tab formed on the door rack, which engages in the mounting position in a corresponding pocket of the latching device. The locking device is thus fixed by merely plugging on the tab of the door compartment on this.
Alternativ kann das Steckmittel eine am Türabsteller ausgebildete Nut sein, in die eine korrespondierende Zunge der Rastvorrichtung in der Montageposition eingreift. Dies hat den Vorteil gegenüber der zuvor beschriebenen Ausgestaltung, dass bei einem abbrechen der Zunge nicht der Türabsteller ersetzt werden muss, sondern lediglich die betroffene Rastvorrichtung erneuert werden muss, was kostengünstiger ist.Alternatively, the plug-in means may be a groove formed on the door rack, in which a corresponding tongue of the latching device engages in the mounting position. This has the advantage over the embodiment described above, that in a cancel the tongue does not need to be replaced the door rack, but only the affected locking device must be renewed, which is cheaper.
Dabei kann die Nut von einem Zwischenraum eines doppelwandigen Abschnitts des Türabstellers gebildet werden. Statt eine gesonderte Nut am Türabsteller vorzusehen, kann als Nut ein Zwischenraum genutzt werden, der aufgrund einer doppelwandigen Ausbildung des Türabstellern bereits vorhanden ist. Die Wände des Türabstellers können dabei eine Eigenelastizität aufweisen, die eine klemmende Befestigung der Zunge der Rastvorrichtung in der Nut bzw. zwischen den beiden wänden des Türabstellers gewährleistet.In this case, the groove can be formed by a gap of a double-walled portion of the door compartment. Instead of providing a separate groove on the door racks, a gap can be used as a groove, which is already present due to a double-walled design of the door racks. The walls of the door compartment can have an inherent elasticity, which ensures a clamping attachment of the tongue of the locking device in the groove or between the two walls of the door compartment.
In allen erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltungen kann die Rastvorrichtung einen ersten, die Entriegelungstaste aufweisenden Rastvorrichtungsabschnitt und einen zweiten, das Gegensteckmittel aufweisenden Rastvorrichtungsabschnitt aufweisen, der in einem Winkel, insbesondere in einem rechten Winkel zum ersten Rastvorrichtungsabschnitt angeordnet ist. Durch die geeignete Orientierung der beiden Rastvorrichtungsabschnitte zueinander ist eine erfindungsgemäße Orientierung von Montagesteckrichtung und Betätigungsrichtung der Entriegelungstaste gewährleistet.In all embodiments according to the invention, the latching device may comprise a first latching device section having the unlocking button and a second latching device section having the counter-plugging means which is arranged at an angle, in particular at a right angle to the first latching device section. Due to the suitable orientation of the two latching device sections relative to each other, an orientation according to the invention of the assembly plugging direction and the actuating direction of the unlocking button is ensured.
Die Entriegelungstaste kann in der Montageposition der Rastvorrichtung an einer Seitenwand des Türabstellers und das Steckmittel an einer Rückwand des Türabstellers angeordnet sein. Indem das Steckmittel über ein Ecke des Türabstellers hinweg versetzt zur Entriegelungstaste angeordnet ist, ist stets eine abweichende Orientierung von Montagesteckrichtung und Betätigungsrichtung sichergestellt. Zudem ist aufgrund der Anordnung des Steckmittels an einer Rückwand des Türabstellers das Steckmittel für einen Benutzer optisch verdeckt angeordnet.The unlocking button can be arranged in the mounting position of the locking device on a side wall of the door compartment and the plug means on a rear wall of the door compartment. By the plug-in means over a corner of the door compartment away away from the unlocking button is arranged, always a different orientation of mounting plug direction and actuation direction is ensured. In addition, due to the arrangement of the plug means on a rear wall of the door compartment, the plug-in means for a user is optically hidden.
Mit anderen Worten zusammengefasst stellt die Erfindung eine kostengünstige Lösung für insbesondere höhenverstellbare Türabsteller bei Kältegeräten dar. Sie kann beispielsweise zwei Kunststofftasten mit angeformten Rastnasen aufweisen. Diese Kunststofftasten können links und rechts in Taschen oder anders ausgebildeten Rasteinrichtungen, die an dem Türabsteller ausgebildet sind montiert werden. Die Tasten sind so einfach und kostengünstig zu montieren. Diese separaten Tasten können einen hohe Stabilität und Flexibilität aufweisen, wie sie funktional gefordert ist. Diese Stabilität und Flexibilität kann durch spezifisches Material und spezifische Geometrie erreicht werden, ohne dass der Türabsteller in seiner Materialität, wie beispielsweise die Transparenz, die Geometrie oder die Ausformrichtung auf die Rasteinrichtung bzw. die Tasten abgestimmt werden müsste. Der Türabsteller kann wie bisher voll-transparent in günstigem Material und in einfach konzipierten Werkzeugen hergestellt werden. Die Tast- und Rastelemente können hingegen in anderen, spezifischen Kunststoffen hergestellt werden. Die Kosten dafür sind durch die reduzierte Geometrie minimal, eine den technischen Anforderung widersprechende Transparenz ist auch wegen geringem Platzbedarf nicht gefordert. Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung ist der geschlossene Innenraum des Türabstellers d.h. die Spalt- und Ausnehmungsfreiheit der Seiten-, Rück- und Bodenwände des Türabstellers. Der Türabsteller ist so sehr reinigungsfreundlich. Vorteilhaft ist auch die Lage der Rastelemente bzw. Rasteinrichtungen. Sie sind durch die geschützte Lage, beispielsweise in den Aufnahmenischen, abgedeckt durch Türholme der Türinnenseite des Kältegeräts und der Oberseite des Türabstellers vor Verschmutzung, Beschädigung und daraus resultierender Fehlfunktionen geschützt. Die Rastelemente sind insoweit für einen Benutzer unsichtbar angebracht, hingegen sind die Bedientasten für einen Benutzer gut sichtbar angebracht. Die Rasteinrichtung ist so selbsterklärend und leicht zu bedienen. Dies kann vor allem in Verkaufssituationen, die ohne nähere Beratung verlaufen, ein Vorteil sein.In other words, the invention provides a cost-effective solution for especially height-adjustable door racks in refrigerators. For example, it can have two plastic buttons with molded lugs. These plastic keys can be mounted on the left and right in pockets or other shaped locking devices formed on the door racks. The keys are so easy and inexpensive to install. These separate keys can have high stability and flexibility as functionally required. This stability and flexibility can be achieved by specific material and specific geometry, without the Door racks in its materiality, such as the transparency, the geometry or the Ausrichtrichtung would have to be matched to the latching device or the keys. The door racks can be manufactured as before fully transparent in inexpensive material and simply designed tools. The tactile and locking elements, however, can be made in other specific plastics. The costs for this are minimal due to the reduced geometry, a transparency that does not meet the technical requirements is not required due to its small footprint. Another advantage of the invention is the closed interior of the door compartment ie the gap and Ausnehmungsfreiheit the side, rear and bottom walls of the door compartment. The door rack is so easy to clean. Also advantageous is the location of the locking elements or locking devices. They are protected by the protected location, for example in the shooting tables, covered by door pillars of the inside of the door of the refrigerator and the top of the door compartment from contamination, damage and resulting malfunction. The locking elements are so far invisible for a user attached, however, the control buttons are well visible to a user attached. The locking device is so self-explanatory and easy to use. This can be an advantage, especially in sales situations without further consultation.
