Das erfindungsgemäße Haushaltskältegerät kann insbesondere derart ausgeführt sein, dass die Innenraumbeleuchtung nur bei geöffnetem Türblatt eingeschaltet, also bei geschlossenem Türblatt ausgeschaltet ist. Dazu kann das erfindungsgemäße Haushaltskältegerät einen dem Fachmann im Prinzip bekannten Türöffnungsschalter aufweisen.The household refrigeration appliance according to the invention can in particular be designed in such a way that the interior lighting is only switched on when the door leaf is open, that is to say it is switched off when the door leaf is closed. For this purpose, the household refrigerating appliance according to the invention can have a door opening switch known in principle to a person skilled in the art.

Das erfindungsgemäße Haushaltskältegerät kann auch als ein Weinkühlschrank ausgebildet sein, der vorgesehen ist, mit trinkbarer Flüssigkeit, insbesondere Wein, gefüllte Flaschen zu lagern. In diesem Fall ist das Türblatt vorzugsweise zumindest teilweise durchsichtig, indem es z.B. zumindest teilweise aus Glas gefertigt ist. Insbesondere in diesem Fall kann die Innenraumbeleuchtung den kühlbaren Innenraum auch bei geschlossenem Türblatt beleuchten.The domestic refrigeration appliance according to the invention can also be designed as a wine refrigerator which is intended to store bottles filled with drinkable liquid, in particular wine. In this case, the door leaf is preferably at least partially transparent, for example being made at least partially of glass. In this case in particular, the interior lighting can also illuminate the interior that can be cooled when the door leaf is closed.

Die Innenraumbeleuchtung ist in der taschenförmigen Vertiefung des Innenbehälters befestigt. Der Innenbehälter ist vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff. Die Vertiefung kann durch Tiefziehen hergestellt werden.The interior lighting is fixed in the pocket-shaped depression of the inner container. The inner container is preferably made of plastic. The recess can be made by deep drawing.

Der Innenbehälter kann zwei Seitenwände, eine Decke und eine Rückwand umfassen. Die Innenraumbeleuchtung kann z.B. an einer der beiden Seitenwände des Innenbehälters befestigt sein. Es ist auch möglich, dass an einer der beiden Seitenwände mehrere Innenraumbeleuchtungen befestigt sind. Es können auch beide Seitenwände mit wenigstens einer Innenraumbeleuchtung versehen sein.The inner container can comprise two side walls, a top and a back wall. The interior lighting can, for example, be attached to one of the two side walls of the inner container. It is also possible for several interior lights to be attached to one of the two side walls. Both side walls can also be provided with at least one interior light.

Die taschenförmige Vertiefung ist vorzugsweise rechteckförmig und insbesondere länglich ausgeführt. Sie erstreckt sich insbesondere in vertikaler Richtung über zumindest einen Teil einer der Seitenwände des Innenbehälters.The pocket-shaped depression is preferably rectangular and, in particular, elongate. In particular, it extends in the vertical direction over at least part of one of the side walls of the inner container.

Die taschenförmige Vertiefung ist vorgesehen, die Innenraumbeleuchtung aufzunehmen bzw. es ist vorgesehen, die Innenraumbeleuchtung in der taschenförmigen Vertiefung zu befestigen. Die taschenförmige Vertiefung weist einen Boden auf, der im Vergleich zu der Fläche der Wand, in der die taschenförmige Vertiefung angebracht ist, zurückversetzt ist.The pocket-shaped depression is intended to accommodate the interior lighting or it is intended to fasten the interior lighting in the pocket-shaped depression. The pocket recess has a bottom that is recessed compared to the surface of the wall in which the pocket recess is mounted.

Vorzugsweise wird die Innenraumbeleuchtung vor einem Schäumen des erfindungsgemäßen Haushaltskältegerätes mit einem wärmeisolierenden Schaum als Wärmeisolierung in der Vertiefung befestigt.The interior lighting is preferably fixed in the depression with a heat-insulating foam as heat insulation before the household refrigeration appliance according to the invention is foamed.

Die Innenraumbeleuchtung kann ein Gehäuse aufweisen, das vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gefertigt ist und insbesondere einstückig ausgeführt ist. Das Gehäuse kann vorzugsweise die wenigstens eine Gegenbefestigungsvorrichtung aufweisen. Diese ist z.B. einstückig am Gehäuse angeformt. Das Gehäuse ist zur Aufnahme eines Leuchtmittels der Innenraumbeleuchtung vorgesehen.The interior lighting can have a housing which is preferably made of plastic and is in particular made in one piece. The housing can preferably have the at least one counter-fastening device. This is e.g. integrally formed on the housing. The housing is intended to accommodate a bulb of the interior lighting.

Als Leuchtmittel wird vorzugsweise wenigstens eine LED, bevorzugt mehrere LEDs verwendet. Die Innenraumbeleuchtung kann z.B. eine Leiterplatine aufweisen, auf der das Leuchtmittel befestigt ist.At least one LED, preferably a plurality of LEDs, is preferably used as the light source. The interior lighting can have, for example, a printed circuit board on which the light source is attached.

Die Innenraumbeleuchtung kann eine zumindest teilweise durchsichtige Abdeckung aufweisen, welche an einem Gehäuse der Innenraumbeleuchtung befestigt ist und diese gegenüber dem kühlbaren Innenraum abdeckt. Die Abdeckung verläuft vorzugsweise bündig mit dem Innenbehälter und/oder verdeckt einen Spalt zwischen dem Gehäuse der Innenraumbeleuchtung und der taschenförmigen Vertiefung.The interior lighting can have an at least partially transparent cover, which is attached to a housing of the interior lighting and covers it from the interior that can be cooled. The cover preferably runs flush with the inner container and/or covers a gap between the housing of the interior lighting and the pocket-shaped depression.

Ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines entsprechenden Haushaltkältegerätes, aufweisend folgende Verfahrensschritte, um die Innenraumbeleuchtung in der in vertikaler Richtung über einen Teil einer Seitenwand des Innenbehälters erstreckenden, taschenförmigen Vertiefung zu befestigen:

  • Heranbewegen der Innenraumbeleuchtung in die taschenförmige Vertiefung derart, dass die Überlappungsbereiche der Gegenbefestigungsvorrichtung durch den direkt oberhalb des ersten Bereichs (51) anschließenden zweiten Bereich der Öffnung der Befestigungsvorrichtung hindurchragen, und danach
  • Schieben der Innenraumbeleuchtung nach unten, dass der Bereich der Gegenbefestigungsvorrichtung in den ersten Bereich der Öffnung geschoben wird, damit die Überlappungsbereiche die taschenförmige Vertiefung im Bereich der seitlichen Kantenbereiche des ersten Bereichs der Öffnung der Befestigungsvorrichtung hintergreifen, wobei die Überlappungsbereiche (62) der Gegenbefestigungsvorrichtung (13) zusammen mit der restlichen Innenraumbeleuchtung (10) und den seitlichen Kantenbereichen (54) des ersten Bereichs (51) der Öffnung (50) der Befestigungsvorrichtung (13) formschlüssig und/oder kraftschlüssig zusammenwirken.
A further aspect of the invention relates to a method for producing a corresponding household refrigeration appliance, having the following method steps in order to fasten the interior lighting in the pocket-shaped depression extending in the vertical direction over a part of a side wall of the inner container:
  • Moving the interior light into the pocket-shaped recess such that the overlapping areas of the counter-fastening device protrude through the second area of the opening of the fastening device directly above the first area (51), and thereafter
  • Sliding the interior lighting downwards so that the area of the counter-fastening device is pushed into the first area of the opening so that the overlapping areas engage behind the pocket-shaped depression in the area of the lateral edge areas of the first area of the opening of the fastening device, with the overlapping areas (62) of the counter-fastening device (13 ) together with the rest of the interior lighting (10) and the lateral edge areas (54) of the first area (51) of the opening (50) of the fastening device (13) interact in a positive and/or non-positive manner.

Die Überlappungsbereiche können den Bereich auch komplett überlappen. Dadurch ergibt sich z.B. eine pilzförmige Gegenbefestigungsvorrichtung. In diesem Fall sind die beiden Überlappungsbereiche zu einem gemeinsamen Überlappungsbereich zusammengefasst.The overlapping areas can also completely overlap the area. This results, for example, in a mushroom-shaped counter-fastening device. In this case, the two overlapping areas are combined into a common overlapping area.

Die Gegenbefestigungsvorrichtung in Form des Bereichs und den Überlappungsbereichen ist insbesondere einstückig ausgeführt und vorzugsweise an dem gegebenenfalls vorhandenen Gehäuse der Innenraumbeleuchtung angeformt.The counter-fastening device in the form of the area and the overlapping areas is in particular made in one piece and is preferably formed on the optionally present housing of the interior lighting.

Für einen verbesserten Halt der Innenraumbeleuchtung in der taschenförmigen Vertiefung kann der Bereich der Gegenbefestigungsvorrichtung derart dimensioniert sein, dass er formschlüssig mit dem ersten Bereich der Öffnung zusammenwirkt.For an improved hold of the interior lighting in the pocket-shaped depression, the area of the counter-fastening device can be dimensioned in such a way that it interacts with the first area of the opening in a form-fitting manner.

Der zweite Bereich umfasst eine Kante, die von dem ersten Bereich abgewandt ist. Für eine verbesserte Fixierung der befestigten Innenraumbeleuchtung umfasst diese vorzugsweise ein Rastmittel, das vorzugsweise einstückig am Gehäuse angeformt ist. Im befestigten Zustand drückt diese Rastmittel gegen die Kante des zweiten Bereichs, die von dem ersten Bereich abgewandt ist.The second area includes an edge that faces away from the first area. For improved fixation of the fastened interior lighting, it preferably includes a latching means, which is preferably integrally formed on the housing. In the fastened state, these latching means press against the edge of the second area which faces away from the first area.

Erstreckt sich die taschenförmige Vertiefung in vertikaler Richtung über zumindest einen Teil einer der Seitenwände des Innenbehälters, dann ist vorzugsweise der erste Bereich der Öffnung der Gegenbefestigungsvorrichtung oberhalb dem zweiten Bereich angeordnet. In diesem Fall braucht für das Befestigen der Innenraumbeleuchtung, nachdem die Überlappungsbereiche der Gegenbefestigungsvorrichtung durch den zweiten Bereich der Öffnung der Befestigungsvorrichtung ragen, die Innenraumbeleuchtung lediglich nach unten geschoben zu werden, damit die Überlappungsbereiche die taschenförmige Vertiefung im Bereich der seitlichen Kantenbereiche des ersten Bereichs der Öffnung hintergreifen. Dann sind die Überlappungsbereiche zu einem gemeinsamen Überlappungsbereich zusammengefasst. Die Überlappungsbereiche können den Bereich komplett überlappen. Dadurch ergibt sich z.B. eine pilzförmige Befestigungsvorrichtung.If the pocket-shaped recess extends in the vertical direction over at least part of one of the side walls of the inner container, then the first area of the opening of the counter-fastening device is preferably arranged above the second area. In this case, after the overlapping areas of the counter-fastening device protrude through the second area of the opening of the fastening device, the interior light only needs to be pushed down to attach the interior lighting so that the overlapping areas form the pocket-shaped depression in the area of the lateral edge areas of the first area of the opening get behind The overlapping areas are then combined into a common overlapping area. The overlap areas can completely overlap the area. This results, for example, in a mushroom-shaped fastening device.

Die Befestigungsvorrichtung in Form des Bereichs und den Überlappungsbereichen ist insbesondere einstückig ausgeführt. Vorzugsweise kann die Befestigungsvorrichtung als ein separates Bauteil ausgeführt und im Boden der taschenförmigen Vertiefung befestigt sein. Die als separates Bauteil ausgeführte Befestigungsvorrichtung ist insbesondere einstückig und/oder insbesondere in einer Aussparung im Boden der taschenförmigen Vertiefung insbesondere mittels eines Bajonettverschlusses befestigt.The fastening device in the form of the area and the overlapping areas is in particular made in one piece. The fastening device can preferably be designed as a separate component and fastened in the bottom of the pocket-shaped depression. The fastening device, which is designed as a separate component, is in particular fastened in one piece and/or in particular in a recess in the base of the pocket-shaped depression, in particular by means of a bayonet catch.

Die als einstückig ausgeführte und in der Aussparung befestigte Befestigungsvorrichtung kann eine Dichtungslippe aufweisen. Diese ist insbesondere derart ausgeführt, dass sie gegen diejenige Seite des Bodens der taschenförmigen Vertiefung drückt, die einer Wärmeisolierung des Haushaltskältegerätes zugewandt ist.The fastening device, which is made in one piece and is fastened in the recess, can have a sealing lip. This is designed in particular in such a way that it presses against that side of the bottom of the pocket-shaped depression that faces thermal insulation of the household refrigeration appliance.

Die Öffnung der Gegenbefestigungsvorrichtung kann zwei zweite Bereiche aufweisen, die jeweils an den gegenüberliegenden Enden des ersten Bereichs der Öffnung direkt anschließen. Die Ausdehnungen der beiden zweiten Bereiche der Öffnung sind vorzugsweise identisch. Dadurch ist es z.B. möglich, die Innenraumbeleuchtung, insbesondere deren Gehäuse symmetrisch zu einer Achse rechtwinklig zu einer der Längsausdehnung der Innenraumbeleuchtung bzw. deren Gehäuse zugeordneten Längsachse auszuführen.The opening of the counter-fastening device may have two second portions, each directly adjoining the opposite ends of the first portion of the opening. The dimensions of the two second areas of the opening are preferably identical. This makes it possible, for example, to design the interior lighting, in particular its housing, symmetrically to an axis at right angles to a longitudinal axis assigned to the longitudinal extension of the interior lighting or its housing.

Erstreckt sich die taschenförmige Vertiefung in vertikaler Richtung über zumindest einen Teil einer der Seitenwände des Innenbehälters, dann bildet die taschenförmige Vertiefung in ihrem unteren Bereich einen unteren Kantenbereich. Vorzugsweise sind die taschenförmige Vertiefung und die Innenraumbeleuchtung derart ausgeführt, dass im montierten Zustand der Innenraumbeleuchtung diese im unteren Kantenbereich anliegt. Dadurch wird ein Verrutschen der Innenraumbeleuchtung nach unten verhindert.If the pocket-shaped indentation extends in the vertical direction over at least a part of one of the side walls of the inner container, then the pocket-shaped indentation forms a lower edge area in its lower area. The pocket-shaped recess and the interior lighting are preferably designed in such a way that when the interior lighting is installed, it rests in the lower edge area. This prevents the interior lighting from slipping down.

Aufgrund des erfindungsgemäßen Haushaltskältegerätes kann eine relativ einfach umzusetzende Montagemöglichkeit der Innenraumbeleuchtung in die taschenförmige Vertiefung erfolgen. Insbesondere bei relativ langen Innenraumbeleuchtungen kann diese im Innenbehälter in der taschenförmigen Vertiefung, die z.B. durch Tiefziehen hergestellt ist, mit einer relativ einfachen Kontur realisiert werden.Due to the household refrigeration appliance according to the invention, the interior lighting can be installed in the pocket-shaped recess in a relatively simple manner. In the case of relatively long interior lighting in particular, this can be realized with a relatively simple contour in the inner container in the pocket-shaped depression, which is produced, for example, by deep-drawing.

Beispielsweise mittels einer "Schlüsselloch-Verrastung" kann die Innenraumbeleuchtung am Innenbehälter relativ einfach montiert werden. Die Innenraumbeleuchtung wird dabei z.B. immer zuerst im "Schlüsselloch" eingesetzt und anschließend vorzugsweise nach unten geschoben und somit gehalten.The interior lighting can be mounted relatively easily on the inner container, for example by means of a "keyhole latch". The interior lighting, for example, is always first inserted in the "keyhole" and then preferably pushed down and thus held in place.
